My father brought it up because he assumed it was some sort of emergency response. When I told him this was routine he was horrified.

My father, a US Army war veteran, had never heard of this before he drove across the country to visit me. He found the setup very disturbing.

It seems very simple from where we sit. I agree with you as far as wishing there had been an immediate, clear response on behalf of a colleague and to assert a norm of professional behavior.

Reading the excerpt to confirm whether the writing was as bad as I heard, then Lizza's scandalous substack, "I watched the wildfire from my Mustang and that is my life do you see," "the bamboo is a tell-tale heart, get it? Let me repeat it just in case."

These are elite journalists? OK.

There has never been a POTUS who behaved this way and there aren't well-prepared appropriate responses for how this one behaved on Air Force One or in the Oval Office with Prince Bonesaw.

I hope newsrooms with access are talking to each other about it, as well as the reporters on the ground.
