Trump’s chief of staff can’t sway a media that revels in Republican ridicule
Oops, they did it again.
The White House decision to cooperate with Vanity Fair, giving the magazine exclusive access to top Trump administration figures, is one more example of what happens when you let the legacy media pretend that this time, it’s changed.
That editors won’t screw you over, reporters won’t put the worst possible spin on your remarks, photographers won’t dream of using Photoshop to highlight your every blemish for social media snipers to spread far and wide.
Why, oh why, does every Republican administration fall in love with the idea of trying to win over the people who hate them?
Beware of writers who act like you’re a friend.
Unless I’ve bailed you out and didn’t write about it, I assure you, we are not.
I admit that looks can be deceiving.
But nothing is more deceptive than Vanity........
