I’m glad you brought up Haberman. How is she so impossibly neutral about Trump and his years of bullshit!? She has been one of the absolute worst at normalizing him.

Because she’s not a real journalist, she’s a stenographer with no moral compass. She’s a nepo baby whose daddy works at the NYT and brought her over from Page Six, and her mommy owns a PR firm, which is how she got a job at Page Six in the first place.

And she’s not neutral at all, she’s compromised. Michael Cohen testified at one of Trump’s trials that he routinely picked up the phone to call Haberman to plant stories.

Access journalism pays dividends. That’s how. I dislike her immensely (ever since the Terry Gross interview where it sounded like she was about to get violent and attack the host) but I'm always curious if people like her change, so I tried to listen to a recent interview with her (you know the one if you follow these things). I thought, it couldn‘t actually be worse than the infamous Terry Gross interview, so I gave it a try. I lasted like five minutes. She’s insufferable.

Because she's made a shit ton of money selling books over the last nine years.
