Jesus Christ. You can't say "It's contested." You can't say "Agree to disagree." You can't say "Let's move on." You have to say, "Mr. President, that is a lie." If it means he never talks to you again or yells at your boss, THAT'S FINE. What have you lost? More "opportunities" like this one?

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

The real best question to ask would have been "Mr.President, who in your administration told you that the photo you showed the American people was un-altered?"
I get it. Journalists must avoid becoming the story. But when Trump made it personal, the line was crossed anyway.
I don't see why the interviewer was at eager to move on, he had the president out on a limb hanging on by a thread.

they fear his base and for their jobs
They fear him
*You wouldn’t’ve picked me if you hadn’t heard of me. You don’t pick people you never heard of.*
How difficult would that have been to say?!?!
Craven MF’ing Coward.
It's a very domineering move to not get into the mud with him, but to still not let him get the win. Moran is the alpha here, a manager dealing with a crazy customer.
Rattling Trump by not saying "yes, sir" was the win.
I want desperately want a member of the WH press corps to stand up during a Trump press conference and say, “That’s a pack of lies, Donnie.” They’ll get booted out. SO WHAT? *Someone* has to tell him he’s full of 💩, unpopular as hell, & his policies are ruining the country.
Terry: Let’s agree to disagree if that was appropriate and move on
Exactly! What is the news value of this (other than to publicize his utter derangement)? NOTHING TRUMP SAYS IS EVER TRUE! Same goes for the White House Press Room--just a daily festival of lies. AP ought be proud to have been kicked out.
