Haberman and Swan promote 'Regime Change' in TV interviews
🤢 Trump the Bathroom Slob? The president is mad at authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan for the bathroom scenes in 'Regime Change.' Plus: the Supreme Court turns a blind eye to Trump's racism as it screws over Haitians. Read today's First Draft:
blandydayz.bsky.social11The racism of America should never be excused or made light of. We literally moved to Portugal in October because of it. Turns out we were in a toxic relationship with the US and had to end it.
Left I on the News 🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️⚧️6No fair sharing but not sharing!
Welsh rarebit5Didn’t Trump talk to Swan and Haberman for this book, as for previous ones also? He’s so addicted to publicity that he can’t help himself.
Trevor3There are members on the U.S. Supreme Court that despite their high station, and education are outright racists! Just as was the case in Nazi Germany, the well-educated committed horrific crimes on the basis that their racism was justified by falling in line with their Fuhrer!
batsfordio.bsky.social3Would not be at all surprised to learn Trump is the kind of man who shits with the door open, pasty wobbling thighs spilling over the seat, while railing at subordinates. A la Robert Maxwell.
John Simich, PhD2Trump has always been a slob. Never had any class and never will. Plus he is just a lazy SOB.
Corporate Media: On a daily basis we never call Trump a rapist, a bigot, a felon, we credulously repeat everything he says as if he’s not a pathological liar, but when Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan publish a book, we’re like, “Whoo boy, incredible revelations! Who knew the President was this bad?”
Jill6Maggie Haberman and Jonathan swan are paid reporters for NYTimes. It’s their jobs to report the news not save it for a book. That’s a big part of what’s wrong with legacy media.
Blank Hervé1Who's this "we" you're talking about? OH, I see you all the media outlets owned by allies of that rapist, bigot and felon Donald Trump. Or more clearly, those funding and backing the Nazi coup currently in place in what used to be the USA. 😉
Joe Bacon1Showing once again that US Presstitutes are only concerned about one thing--grabbing every opportunity to put more cash in their pockets!
shep1Sociopath, traitor, people don't know because the corporate press never tells the ugly truth about Republicans, even when it meets their damning "objectivity" rules.
Shannon1I wish someone would ask Haberman why it is ok for reporters to hide important information acquired while performing their salaried jobs, information vital to our democracy, and then release it later in book form to earn a profit.
🗞️Let me say this emphatically: So-called journalists who sit on news so they can profit on books are the lowest form of life in the business. I will be taking them apart in a coming column, but hopefully NYT’s Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan will have gone straight to hell well before then …
David Stone2I had the impression that the newsworthy bits were being reported as they went along, and the book was just a summary festooned with colorful asides that wouldn't be included in normal reporting. I don't follow either of them, so I wouldn't know.
Isa G1She's been on my shit list for ever!
Limana1Jake Tapper is another one of those.
📚⚾️ Leslie in CA ✌🏼🦋2Do NOT buy their book!
I broke down & bought Regime Change on Kindle. 😔 I have real anger toward some at NYT, but I’m interested in how authors seem to be normalizing freak JD in interviews. Scary. I also despise how reporters save scoops for books. Not that anyone cares, but I may post my thoughts as I read.
Grandmamalama8I've been tempted to do the same. But, I am still super pissed at Maggie Haberman and the greed she's shown in holding the story despite the impact on the nation. That's not journalism. That's profiteering. Please, share your thoughts as you read. I really can't/won't pay for the revelations.
Brigid6Back in the day, Woodward and Bernstein of the Washington Post, wrote in real time what they were learning abt the Nixon/Watergate corruption. The book, All the President’s Men came later. Much later.
COVFEFE! is my battle cry at dawn4And please post thoughts, it’s not like I’m spending money on that shiz but I’ll take the tea
When you’re done with the book, on kindle, cancel your Amazon accounts…prime, kindle and all. Don’t feed the beast who buys newspapers just to kill them.
JamesSampson1I will not buy Regime Change, Cub Green, but I will be interested in hearing your thoughts after you read it. Like you, I often wonder how these journalists decide what to report on in real time and what to sit on for their next book.
Aesthetic Poet1I worked on it there are no scoops just how sick they all are
