Another example of poor journalism. As a reader my first question was about the alleged rule. It makes no sense there would be a rule prohibiting a US attorney from taking a call from the President of the United States. The President heads the executive branch and the Department of Justice reports to the President.

A real journalist would have investigated the “rule” to determine if it existed and if so under what circumstances it is applicable. The story as it is implies there was something wrong with the President calling Bharara.

Journalists used to be taught to answer the 5 “w” questions in a story - Who?, What?, When?, Where?, Why?. Today’s agenda driven stories provide very little background for the reader.

It’s now:
Who I like (the left)
What I think (leftist agenda)
When it’s convenient (leftist narrative)
Where it can enhance an agenda (leftist)
Why it matters (leftist narrative)

Why is not the province of journalism. How is. Why is a philosophical question to be answered by the reader. When you ask them why they can come up with anything they want and state it as fact.

They still are.

WHO did Trump mess with this time. WHAT did Trump do wrong now? WHEN did Trump first cook-up this evil plan? WHERE is Trump hiding the evidence? WHY was he ever elected, in the first place?
