Politics Reporting in the Gangland Era

Covering Maga and Trump is a bit like an old hard and hard detective novel. Everyone is bad. Or at least shaded. The challenge is distinguished between simple and bad bad shaded. And apart from the bad and those who were simply drawn that way, you sometimes have two really bad people. In this scenario, one can still victimize the other, making the latter person a victim while being bad. This brings us to this quote from an article in the Washington Post on Eric Schnabel, the chief operating officer of the National Institute of Health (NIH) who, as I noted earlier this week, was dismissed and paraded on Monday at the premises, would have led a contract to a company that employed his wife. This is an SMS he sent to a WAPO journalist after the post tried several times to contact him as well as his wife.

“I need your help. I did not do what they said, ”he sent a text. “It was a political job. Please call me. ” Schnabel did not respond to many other attempts to contact. (The quote was added after being originally linked to the room.)
