Deep Throat's line about these White House guys not being very bright is a bitter joke, considering the desperation the world faces due to the missteps and malfeasance of the current administration.

Trump labeled Jonathan Karl as a 'third rate news anchor' and accused him of writing a 'made up book' filled with fictitious quotes, urging his followers not to buy it.

So much of the White House has always been a kind of symbolic construction. All the tackiness-I find it endearing. The bald artifice, the kind of striver-ness of it-it's like rooting for early Bethenny.

"The bottom line is trust - vouching that an article is credible and worthy of a reader's time. It all comes down to that."

Maddow stated, 'I am very disinterested in him as a person.' She emphasized that she does not have an interest in his opinions or in putting him on camera.

Watters expressed, 'Many people are saying, do women have the emotional maturity to be president? Many people are saying, do they have the personal contacts in the business world to manage the economy?' He listed these claims to justify his controversial stance.

I can remember when I was tapped to go to 60 minutes I thought this was fantastic and I expected a lot of people would just come up and say, that's really great, I'm really happy for you, whatever the thing right is and then you realize after a while that not everybody was happy that I got this job. There were other people that wanted it. And so then you've all of a sudden made a bunch of enemies. And that's, it's just, you know, it's a snake pit.

Rep. Chip Roy stated, 'We aren't getting the job done. Part of that is because we are bound by this big, broken, fake filibuster of 60 votes. But part of it is you gotta have the willpower to do it.'

Kasparian argued Ocasio-Cortez appears to have taken a page or two out of President Donald Trump's political playbook, based on the lawmaker's response to a shot on social media from Kasparian.

Chris Hayes stated, 'It was a litany of lies that he's told before about facts of the matter, that Barack Obama gave the Iranians billions of dollars. He didn't. It was repatriated assets that had been seized by the United States pursuant to that negotiated deal.'

CNN's Manu Raju pointed out that Donald Trump frequently touted low gas prices during his presidency, but when prices rose under Biden, he shifted to attacking the current administration. Raju stated, 'And the person who liked to talk about it a lot was none other than Donald J. Trump.'

It's been one blunder after another during the early days of the Tony Dokoupil era at CBS Evening News. From night one, the flagship broadcast of the Eye's news division has been marred by technical mess-ups, bizarre attempts to suck up to the Trump administration, low-key humiliation by President Trump, and an anchor who seems to think he has earned the right to pontificate at the end of the show like he's a latter-day Cronkite.

But some in this crew, in the press, just can't stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look up at the TV and they see banners. They see headlines. I used to be in that business. And I know that everything is written intentionally. For example, a banner or a headline, Mideast War intensifies, splashing on the screen the last couple of days alongside visuals of civilian or energy targets that Iran has because that's what they do.

A sitting president publicly signaling that he wants CNN sold is corrosive. It is abnormal for the White House to treat the ownership of a major news network as a matter of personal interest. When regulatory atmospherics appear to align with presidential preference, that warrants scrutiny.
