But more often, it looks like interviewers are on a tight leash — maybe because their bosses are blinded by ratings. CBS President Leslie Moonves recently said of the Trump phenomenon: “It may not be good for America, but it’s drat good for CBS.” His admission was both refreshing and revolting in its candor — and goes a long way to explaining why, according to one survey, through February, Trump scored almost $2 billion worth of free media this cycle — about as much as all other candidates together. It poses most acutely a question that goes to the soul — battered as it may be — of journalism. Is the mission to elicit facts and evaluate claims, or to dash off, hell-bent, in the ratings chase? It should be obvious.

Yeah I don't think TV news media is going to be treating Trump much different especially since he can pick and choose any show he wants.

It's an apt descriptor of Trump's megalomania and other horrible personality and emotional disorders.

quote:

For mental-health professionals, Donald Trump is at once easily diagnosed but slightly confounding. “Remarkably narcissistic,” said developmental psychologist Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education. “Textbook narcissistic personality disorder,” echoed clinical psychologist Ben Michaelis. “He’s so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example of his characteristics,” said clinical psychologist George Simon, who conducts lectures and seminars on manipulative behavior. “Otherwise, I would have had to hire actors and write vignettes. He’s like a dream come true.”

Trump owns he left lots of wiggle room for himself when asked about the pledge but then gets to say Jeb! didn't honor the pledge.

The Trump kids, Meyers posited to me, were very much raised to reflect their father’s image of himself. “They learned very early on to be loved and to fit in with the image their father prized so much,” he said. “What narcissistic parents usually do is they want compliance, and boy, we have no better example of children who seem to be complying with their father and his agenda than these children.” (Growing up, “what he cared about was respect,” Ivanka recalled in a recent Politico Magazine profile. “You would never hear us yelling at our parents or using a tone that was inappropriate or disrespectful. Even a tone.”)

Ryan doesn't want to look like a whipped dog by endorsing immediately after the meeting, but it happened. He'll lay the groundwork on the Sunday shows and then wear the hat next week.

Apparently the caucus is pretty divided between people who want Ryan to endorse Trump to give them cover when they have to and people who cannot believe this poo poo.

That's the joke - it's the video of Jonny Depp and his SO where they were forced to apologise to the Australian government for bringing their dogs into Australia without permission or face significant criminal charges.

It's basically the go-to symbol for coercion atm.

It's a pretty transparent charade, though. If I were working for the Clinton campaign, I'd have already bought up a bunch of URLs like paulryancaves.com and have a website ready to be deployed the instant Ryan finally submits to Trump.

Oh, absolutely. Total Kabuki theater as signaled by Ryan's retarded "I'm not there right now and I hope to, though, and I want to" statement from last week. But I dunno, they have to go through this ritual like it's a voodoo spell that won't 'take' if they don't do it this way.

I don't know that portraying Trump as a powerful and dynamic figure who forces others to bend to his will is the best strategy for campaigning against him, but that's just me.
