MEDIA WINNER:
Kaitlan Collins
"Thanks for the memories," wrote CNN's Kaitlan Collins in a tweet on Tuesday which included a screenshot from today's Playbook from Politico; A doozy of an excerpt from Jon Karl's new book. "According to Karl, Grisham defied Trump’s orders to remove CNN’s KAITLAN COLLINS from a Covid-19 briefing room where Pence was speaking to reporters. “Go down there and get her out of there,” Trump told Grisham, finding her in her office. “Mr. President, I really cannot do that,” Grisham told Trump to his face mid-briefing, to which the president responded: “That’s because you are weak! You are worthless!” It's a fascinating story about the Trump White House, but also a great reminder of the consequences of doing a good job as a White House reporter. Which Collins is, as we were recently reminded once again, in a confrontation with Jen Psaki over defining the border crisis as a crisis.
Collins pressed Psaki hard on the topic, exposing Psaki playing games while decrying playing games. When Psaki got perturbed it didn't dissuade Collins.
That's how the job is done. And when do you it well, well, they can get pretty mad. |
