They need to read the two new bios of Carter, Jonathan Alter’s “His Very Best” and Kai Bird’s “The Outlier”. Both are deeply researched and both authors came to the same conclusion — Carter accomplished many impressive things but gets no credit. Alter has said he was surprised to find what an effective president Carter had been which is disturbing coming from a supposedly serious journalist.

They know what they are covering, and occasionally one of their colleagues, but I've seen interviews with too many of them where they reveal their ignorance. (Maybe I'm just really cynical this morning.)
What I can't stand is when they ask questions and don't press for an answer, and when they allow interviewees to talk over them. Really, a 5 year old can spot Trump's evasive bloviating as not only his way to evade questions, but also to control the narrative, but they let him do it.
Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He is incapable of accepting that he lost. In fact, for a long time his cousin Mary, who is a psychologist, was convinced that he won't run again because he's terrified of facing another loss. He will die with the word "rigged" on his smoochy little lips.

I have come to the conclusion that journalists do not actually follow the news.
Oh, they follow it, but the problem is that many of them create their own versions of it.

Back in those days it was ‘unseemly’ to toot your own horn… wow - how things have eroded… changed.
