I am not going to claim this stuff is *easy* but I do think TV networks can make it *simple.* If you're a news department, your job is to present facts. Every time something false makes it on your air uncorrected, you failed. If you start from that rule, it should guide what you do from there.

Judging from the response to this, some people don't think reporters should ask the president tough questions. I ... disagree. I wrote about Trump's ABC interview last night. Read about it here: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

ICYMI: I wrote about ABC’s interview with Donald Trump. Another exercise in frustration. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

ABC’s Terry Moran tried. He really did. But any legitimate interview with Donald Trump at this point is just worthless. I wrote about that and more here. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Terry Moran says everyone who is deported gets a hearing. (Trump keeps saying trial.) Trump’s response: “I’ll have to ask the lawyers about this.” Moran, to his credit: “In our country even bad guys get due process.”

There is a central truth to what Trump is saying here about tariffs. Terry Moran keeps saying people are saying this isn’t what they signed up for. “Well they did sign up for it, actually – this is what I campaigned on,” Trump says. And he’s right.

A refrain: Every problem since Eve eating the apple was caused by Biden, evidently.

“Then Biden took over. Probably the worst inflation we’ve ever had.” Terry Moran’s pushback? Non-existent so far.

Watching Trump’s ABC interview. He seems to have backed off on the claim that he had the best economy ever his first term. Now just says it was great.

ICYMI: "This is truly one of those times history will look back upon and ask, which side were you on? Democracy’s? Freedom’s? The truth’s? And how did you cover it?" I wrote about this and more on Trump's 100th day: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

I liked "Thunderbolts*" a LOT more than I thought I would. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

There are so many to choose from, but one may be the most worrisome: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

ICYMI: It amuses me when readers say I should stay out of news. That's where I started, lol. I talk about that and more in this week's Valley 101 podcast: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

In our latest episode of Valley 101, I talk with @amandaluberto.bsky.social about what's changed with Arizona, with media and with me in the 35 years I've worked at @azcentral.com. Give us a listen! www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Eight! Holy shit. You’re all like Lech Wałęsa up in there. Such bravery!

Big day on the ol’ A&E front

This is really cool. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Sigh. wapo.st/4iDFVux

In my weekly newsletter The Watchlist, I wrote about how, and maybe why, everything is so damn dumb now. Unsecured Signal chats? Why not? Sycophants leading White House coverage? Sure! This would be an excellent time for you to click on the link and subscribe. profile.azcentral.com/newsletters/...

Man Nick Saban likes EVERYONE who gets drafted. Oh wait I forgot ESPN doesn't criticize anyone at the draft anymore.

I've been writing about a lot of things, so I'll do this again: I am the media columnist for @azcentral.com who writes about, I dunno, everything. A reader called me "embarrassingly ubiquitous." Fair. Click the link to see what I do, and give me a follow. Thanks! www.azcentral.com/staff/268403...

Putting this out there again. Journalistic independence is essential. I hope CBS News doesn't destroy it. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

ICYMI: However bad you think this is, it's worse than you think. The truth is in trouble. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

If '60 Minutes' caves to Trump, we're in (even more) dangerous territory. And that might have gotten more likely. I didn't expect to get so fired up writing about the exit of Bill Owens, but here we are: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Hahahaha

ICYMI: I wrote about how the media covered the death of Pope Francis. Everything gets tainted by division now. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
