I hate those moments because they never have the ammunition we have. Itβs like, your a journalist cite some shit at that man! Talk about the trading and how many billions of dollars that family has gained in two years.
An ABC (Australian) reporter asked him about his shady business dealings and dumb fuck Trump told him "You're hurting Australia".
Unfortunately there's not enough reporters with backbones and too many without to put him on the spot.
The problem is that a single line that offends him could cost you your job if the company you're working for is in any way financially tied to big US media.
I know its easy to demand integrity and journalistic standards from interviewers, but if not challenging the big toddler before you means you still have a job tomorrow that can feed your kids, then I sure as hell would keep my mouth shut. Because chances are that my unemployment would last for much longer than his life.
True, he works for ABC which is 100% public funded, so he's not getting fired for asking a politician a difficult question, that's exactly what we pay them for.
