Pathetic:
Yesterday evening, on national television, Donald Trump told the heir to the chair of Walter Cronkite, a man whose courage and candor turned the country against the Vietnam War, that he owns him.
“Tony, we have now the hottest country in the world. And a year and a half ago our country was dead. We had a dead country. You wouldn’t have a job right now.” Trump told the anchor to his face. “If [Kamala Harris] got in, you probably wouldn’t have a job right now.”
Dokoupil did not immediately push back, did not immediately defend his honor, did not immediately prove his worth as a broadcast journalist and honest arbiter of truth by telling the most powerful man in the world to pound sand.
No, he proceeded to ask a question about the Ford factory assembly line nearby.
Either he likes being a Bari Weiss/Donald Trump toady, and agrees with them, or his ambition has made him lose any semblance of integrity. In either case his career is over. The ratings are terrible and they will blame him. And no one else will have any respect for him for what he’s done.
Well, on second thought, I guess there’s always Newsmax or OAN.
