    Is there a CliffsNotes video of the presser that adequately reflects the debacle?

      5 years ago I would have been right with you. My daily news consumption basically consisted of Drudge, and I got my commentary from Instapundit. I was a huge supporter of citizen journalism, and I still am. But there still is a critical need for journalism as a profession. Despite biases all over, I would still inherently trust a properly vetted story from a professional reporter over a citizen journalist. You get burned from time to time with that level of trust, but traditional media corrects itself better than the likes of Drudge.

          It must be seen in its entirety to understand how bad it was. But here's an article with a few choice snippets:

            None of the journalists alone deserve trust. None. If you consume from all over the spectrum, you may be able to triangulate some measure of value. That doesn't mean the institution of the press deserves trust or respect, because information can be vetted if it is run through enough sources with different perspectives. I still read Al Jazeera for a different perspective.

              It's ok. It wasn't a debacle. You don't really need to watch it or think for yourself. Just trust that it was the greatest press conference in the history of the world because Trump said that Rush Limbaugh said so. Everything else out there is fake information.

                Did you notice Europe's response to the US's demand for more contributions?

                EU defence ministers agree to buy planes and submarines jointly and to open a new command centre for elite troops.

                        Trump administration considers mobilizing as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants.

                        WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration considers mobilizing as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants.

                          A White House aide confirmed to DailyMail.com Friday morning that the idea 'has been discussed,' but wouldn't say whether a plan has been formalized or recommended to the president.

                                But is it a real leak? Fox (and breitbart) tells me that's the real story here.

                                Lots of interesting possibilities here. By pulling this story back so quickly is Trump risking pissing off part of his hardcore base?
