As a reporter, I can't imagine standing by quietly while a powerful person I was reporting on spoke to a colleague like that.

It just wouldn't be in me to keep my mouth shut.
Trump rants at reporter calling her stupid 5 times and no one stands up to him. That sucks. Business as usual. Dictator.

Reading for researchers: The original post in this thread features a perspective piece encouraging researchers to look at the role of emotion in the spread of disinformation. The one directly below is an empirical study showing how outrage fuels the spread of misinformation online.
Nice piece, and consistent with our findings that misinformation exploits outrage to spread online www.science.org/doi/full/10....
