Maggie may be a robot for reporting what is said, but *someone* has to do that for history's sake, so why not a reporter? - Max Jun 1, 16:25
If Trending was accurate it would be BTS 100% of the listings 100% of the time. It’s as manipulative as Facebook. I try to ignore it. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 1, 15:10
My problem with it is that there's no sourcing and no context. I don't see that it's particularly good journalism. -- nm - mara Jun 1, 14:25 2
- Its not, and by doing it she is helping his grifting. - Jovian Jun 1, 14:29
- That’s where I’m at, and I think your point stands as a broad criticism of journalism in the age of Twitter, not just in this instance. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 1, 14:29
Maggie has a rather quaint and outdated view of how reporters should report things, but "bag holder for Trump" is an insane read of her. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 13:58 8
- Definitely not bag holder, though there has been a valid level of complaint over time of how she (and many other reporters!) have served - ty97 Jun 1, 14:08 3
  - “Reporting”, lol. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 14:27
  - Some people have forgotten how to exist off Twitter. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 14:23 1
    - hey! - mud Jun 1, 14:25
- I feel a deep dive would just disgust me, so I'll just say "I'm on Maggie Haberman's side" and feel confident and good about that decision. -- nm - crash davis Jun 1, 14:06 2
  - I think she's great. I hope Jovian doesn't think I'm implying he's an "idiot" though. I believe he's smarter than most. -- nm - mud Jun 1, 14:22 1
    - no I definitely do not think that! And I believe Maggie is a mixed bag. - Jovian Jun 1, 14:32
- And would essentially mean a bunch of STers are the same since they have constantly repeated his BS. -- nm - spamlet Jun 1, 14:03
