Despite what anyone may want to believe, the chances of Donald Trump moving into the White House in January are not trivial. He is still a candidate; he still has ardent supporters; and he still could be our next president. This means that, now more than ever, journalists with relevant information have a responsibility to stop wringing their hands and burn Donald Trump.
Currently, at least one potential cache of nightmarish Trump material is hiding in plain sight: Mark Burnett's video archives at The Apprentice. There are significant barriers to any of it becoming public. But there is another potential source of Trump tapes: All the dozens or hundreds of journalists who have interviewed him, often off the record, over the past 30 years.
As a rule, journalists don't burn sources because of practical considerations (doing so, they worry, would render promises of protection to other sources null), because decent people consider promises of confidentiality generally binding, and because these promises can in some circumstances be legally binding when a written or verbal contract is involved. But almost every rule -- even the very nearly sacrosanct -- has its exceptions. For reporters today, that exception is Donald J. Trump.

Yep, but you made your post to ME.
It used to be about equally easy for anybody to be press back then. Now it’s becoming equally easy once more with the intertubes.
you’re right. they should just wear ###ing hillary shirts while the do the news.
Trump is showing the pseudo alphas what a real alpha looks like now.
While the Apprentice pulls out its cache of videos, Hillary is having rally in Florida with a man who pulled out his ting-yang and told a masseuse to rub it. Is that sexual assault? Where is the indignation of hillary throwing in with yet another pervert?
...print medium...
He will make a great leader. He may not always do what we want, but I suspect he's going to shock some people at how good he leads.
You`re absolutely right. Any organization that labels themselves as a news outlet should be required to meet certain high standards that will make objective reporting more likely. Conflicts of interest regarding ownership, family ties,
etc. should not be tolerated. If you want to broadcast opinion, that`s fine. But News is a different ballgame and should meet the highest of standards.
Other industries are regulated to protect against this sort of collusion, e.g. stock trading. It`s time for news outlets to be held to the same standard.
Oh it is coming. Trump will have raped women and children, sexually assaulted many, and general spawn of Satan soon. If he has and their is proof he is done, if not and they are unfounded made up she said he says, nothing to worry about
“Time to start licensing print and broadcast reporters...”
Not in this country you won’t. Go someplace that doesn’t have a 1st Amendment if you want to try that s**t.
*****.... leading men were. All the alfa males acted that way.****
You have identified the problem. Hollywood has influenced our society for the past 80 years. In the beginning, movies reflected our JudeoChristian ethics. Men were masculine, heroic, honorable and women were strong, loving and moral.
Movie content ‘progressed’ to pornographic where any type of sexual deviancy, violence etc., are acceptable.
Donald Trump was involved with ‘show business’ on The Apprentice. He was likely encouraged & advised to ‘go with the most provocative content for ratings. He is a businessman. In such an atmosphere, conversations and behavior spill over to the talent and production crews.
If you are making a NatGeo series about butterflies, not so much.
"Civil rights attorney Gloria Allred announced Monday that she represents women who accuse Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump of sexually harassing or abusing them.
In doing so, she joined a chorus of sources alleging that the Access Hollywood tape of Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women is just a glimpse of his troubling, inappropriate behavior.
"I cannot comment except to say that some women who allege inappropriate contact by Mr. Trump contacted me both before and after the release of the Access Hollywood tapes," Allred told Patch. "However, I cannot reveal their names or the content of their communications. Their communications are confidential."
"That's about all I can say for now, and we'll have to wait and see what happens next," Allred told City News Service.
A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign has not returned Patchs calls for comment.
The announcement comes days after Allred dared the nominee to release his employees from nondisclosure clauses.
Allreds allegations come amid an avalanche of speculation that more lewd Trump tapes exist. Fox News reporter Geraldo Rivera said he has embarrassing tapes of Trump from years of interviews, but he did not say if he would release them.
Similarly, The Apprentice producer Bill Pruitt tweeted As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trump tapes there are far worse. #just beginning
The tweet set off a firestorm with wealthy Clinton backer Mark Cuban tweeting he would be willing to pay the legal fees and fines of anyone willing to leak the rumored tapes. Last week the Associated Press ran a story in which The Apprentice crew members claimed Trump harassed and demeaned cast and crew, rating women by their looks and openly discussing which ones hed have sex with."
(I bolded the names that appear have a part in this coordinated attack.)
... My guess is that the timeline for coming forth into the public foray is a coordinated planned event and will be executed for maximum effect before the election. It's all about the timed narrative.
I remember back to the age of 14 when I first heard a guy talk in bawdy terms about girls/women. I didn’t care for it. From that time forward I never grew to like it.
Have I ever said some things off the cuff that might be construed as bawdy? I’m sure I have, but it didn’t go vulgar as I recollect.
There’s no denying how Hollywood and the music industry have impacted society. It’s a real shame to having first amendment rights folks didn’t realize that meant they had a right to conduct themselves and their industry by at least some decency standards. Alas, they didn’t get that memo.
Maybe we need an amendment that states that U. S. Citizens have the right to open carry morals in public, and that it cannot be abridged by law.
Yikes.
I sure hope we don’t lose the United States of America because Trump likes beautiful women.
It's her specialty. She's just waiting to be cued up.
Having sisters probably influences the attitude of young men as they enter puberty and beyond. During my teen years, the girls (that would be me) were flirty but not sexually active; the pubescent boys were very respectful to us, but probably acted and spoke very differently when they were in an all male environment. I attended an all girls school during that awkward age and the boys went to an all boys prep as well. Sterile and strict. Our lives were under a microscope by parents and teachers - not a bad thing.
My admiration for these untrustworthy, manipulative, traitorous bastards hovers somewhere between that of Benedict Arnold and Vidkun Quisling.
