On the list of people who’ve utterly failed us, Tapper makes the top 10 with that miserable book. Wonder if he’s proud of himself.

I was just trying to run down my top ten list, but found myself arguing over nominees. "But Joe and Mika screaming'But her emails!' as loudly as anyone!" "But this was worse." ...

For me there’s an all-time top 10 and a top 10 of just the last year. Tapper could make both.

I was just thinking about how much I miss the Murrow School of news broadcast, which largely died when Dan Rather retired. There have been a few lights in the darkness... Christane Amanpour comes to mind... but it's all about ratings/clicks anymore, not so much the truth

I imagine Helen Thomas, Peter Jennings and Walter Cronkite sitting in a bar in heaven, and boy are they pissed.
