       It was an aside, caught on camera, that said a lot about the uneasy business of conducting #journalism today.Moments after #Trump finished taping a 13-minute interview on Tuesday with the “CBS Evening News” anchor (not a respected journalist) #TonyDokoupil in Michigan, #KarolineLeavitt, the White House press secretary, approached Dokoupil & his colleagues to convey a message from the president.#law #democracy #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #democracy #Constitution #dictatorship

       “He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,’” Leavitt said in an even tone, according to a recording of the exchange obtained by The NYT.“Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Dokoupil responded.Leavitt replied: “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’”#Trump #law #democracy #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #journalism #FourthEstate #democracy #AbuseOfPower #authoritarianism #autocracy #despotism #fascism #tyranny

       @Nonilex this gang can sue CBS whether they edit or not. They can claim it is edited and it won't matter if it was edited or not. It's how the gang operates.
