We don't go into journalism to be popular. It is our job to seek the truth and put constant pressure on our leaders until we get answers. |

| rantnrave:// While packing for LA I was watching a segment on MSNBC about TRUMP's interview with WISCONSIN radio host CHARLIE SYKES (a #NeverTrump). MSNBC National Reporter TONY DOKOUPIL speaking with LAWRENCE O'DONNELL basically said that Sykes had it easy because he knew his interview with TRUMP was a "one and done." Meaning that Sykes knew TRUMP would never allow him to interview him again so he could ask tough questions and push while other reporters have to maintain a relationship. Made me nauseous. O'DONNELL didn't agree with the DOKOUPIL. To hear a journalist admit the cowardly way they deal with candidates is just another example in my continuing point that the fourth estate is failing us. A journalist's job is not to maintain a relationship. It's to report the news and ask the hard questions leaders need to answer so that we can be informed. I called it out on TWITTER and he seemingly decided to blame the audience instead. At least he's honest on how he thinks journalism works. Would rather him espouse the way it should work. Don't know him and first time I ever saw him on television. In that brief moment he summed up the problem. Whether he acts that way or is just commenting on reality? I have no idea... Happy Birthday to ERIC CAHAN and ALLISON GOLDBERG. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| SANGER: On the ground? TRUMP: Oh yeah, sure. I would do that. The beautiful thing about oil is that, you know, we're really getting close, because of fracking, and because of new technology, we're really in a position that we weren't in, you know, years ago, and the reason we're in the Middle East is for oil. | | |

| Collecting eyeballs is a diversion of publisher resources. As the ad model loses steam, focusing on page views generates less and less value and leads to commoditized, lowest common denominator news content. It's time to look for alternate models. | | |

Hunger, homelessness, toxic chemicals in the water supply, the lack of affordable housing: all these issues are back on the agenda, even in the most prosperous of countries. | | |
