Meanwhile, in an alternate reality:
Anyone wanting to know how a news organization gets into Trump’s good graces should watch the interview the president conducted with Lou Dobbs of the Fox Business Network. Although the interview lasted a full 25 minutes, Dobbs failed to ask a single substantive question. Instead, the conversation was an exercise in flattery. And while that may have soothed the president’s ego, Dobbs failed to conduct the kind of intellectual stress test from which a skilled politician may emerge stronger, more certain of his or her agenda.
There was little stress on Wednesday night.
“You have accomplished so much,” Dobbs said at the opening of the interview.
