Idea for Sunday news shows: Instead of interviewing politicians about stuff they know nothing about, interview 1) experts who do and 2) the people affected by policies.

Trump would relish violence against any Republican who won't go along with Trump's plans.
“He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection.
His fear of speaking out is much more personal: ‘I’d rather my house not get firebombed’”

The Nuzzi-Lizza-RFKjr-Sanford tale is awful for many reasons:
1) Nuzzi made the lives of women journalists that much harder by adding this "sleep to the top narrative:
2) Lizza mentions "catch and kill" acts that if valid may have put RFKjr in charge of our health;
3) RFKjr is a sick prick.
