Suit yourself, you clearly have much more free time than I do. Shame that you wouldn't use it to do something actually worthwhile (if nothing but simply for yourself) but its your life. *shrug*
I appreciate the compliment, but you have to do what’s right for you! I promise not to take offense if you ignore me.

Gotta love Kennedy (R)'s response when asked by a reporter about this:
Analysis: This Republican senator's response to the Woodward book is absolutely maddening
On Wednesday afternoon, soon after CNN obtained an early copy of Bob Woodward's soon-to-be-released book that contained an admission by President Donald Trump that he purposely downplayed the severity of Covid-19 to the public, Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy did an interview with CNN's...www.cnn.com
What a clown. Yet another reason the entire GOP Senate caucus needs to be fired in November.
It’s a distraction for the easily distractedNot only does it not "exonerate" Trump, it's wholly irrelevant to Trump's culpability. Trump is using the fact that some journalists are criticizing Woodward as a deflection and a distraction.
It’s well established that Trump gave Woodward so much access because he’s singularly focused on the narrative around his Presidency. We’ve seen Trump shoot from the hip and also dramatically change direction under media scrutiny, especially from voices he seems to value. Had Woodward released his evidence and conclusion earlier, perhaps it would have caused Trump to shift his position. (Disclaimer: this is pure opinion and speculation)Well, notice that Rage has come out and in time to inform the public prior to the election with enough time to digest the facts. The fact of the potus downplaying the virus absurdly has been well known ever since February. We didn't need Woodward to show us that. We did need him to make the ! in time for the election that the potus fully knew/knows it too.

Trump's too stubborn to admit being wrong... ever. He'd respin is all. He'd downplay the virus regardless even if Woodward had released the tapes. As he'll do now. Trump's not going for canny voters, he's going for gullible voters and betting there are enough of them to get him reelected if he plays his cards right.It’s a distraction for the easily distracted

If he had told me he didn't want to be robbed I might not have robbed him so it is at least partially his fault he got robbed.It’s a distraction for the easily distracted

Are you some kind of clown?We all know that 90% of the media will automatically dispute and go against anything President Trump has to say. So, being the genius we all know he is, Trump said it's like the flu, no reason to panic, etc.
Trump is so smart, he played the media to get the message out that the virus is actually dangerous while he moved on to travel bans, procuring medical supplies and ramping up for testing and vaccines. How can you not love this guy?
Yeah I'm going to need a /sarcasm edit hereWe all know that 90% of the media will automatically dispute and go against anything President Trump has to say. So, being the genius we all know he is, Trump said it's like the flu, no reason to panic, etc.

Trump's idiots, to be more precise. And you're defending the way he messes with their minds.

You don’t acknowledge that Trump has shifted on a whim because he views his presidency through the lens of “ratings”?Gawd. Covid doing the Funky Broadway all over our asses didn't shift his position because it's not fact based, at all. Trump DGAF about such considerations. Gonna Liberate! the whole country from wicked Libruhl oppression!
I'm going to assume for a moment this isn't an /s because I can't tell.We all know that 90% of the media will automatically dispute and go against anything President Trump has to say. So, being the genius we all know he is, Trump said it's like the flu, no reason to panic, etc.

Yea. You rationalize withholding information to avoid a panic that will cost lives.Sometimes to protect the public, the best course of action is to withhold information. This of course assumes that you are diligently working towards a solution or have a plan in place. You can’t wing a pandemic, although given Woodward’s standing as a journalist, you have to wonder Trump’s intent in disclosing such insights.
Countries who aren't as densely populated as the US.

It is indeed a shame. As my wife has also found out to her dismay I’m unfortunately a package deal. For every blindingly amazing insight you have to deal with me dunking on dumb or dishonest people.Suit yourself, you clearly have much more free time than I do. Shame that you wouldn't use it to do something actually worthwhile (if nothing but simply for yourself) but its your life. *shrug*
I agree, we shouldn’t re-elect him journalist.I remember a time when investigative journalism was done to keep Americans informed. How things have changed. Woodward KNEW the information in the Trump interview would save lives. He should have released it in the interest of public health, but noooo. Im sure someone in the DNC got ahold of him and told him to hold it until fall, to use against Trump in the election. I think some responsibility rests on Woodward's shoulders for not releasing this when he got it.

Based on what we know what do you think would have happened if he had? Remember Lt Col. Vindman? What happened to him and he went the legitimate whistleblower route.I remember a time when investigative journalism was done to keep Americans informed. How things have changed.
