@errollouis @brianstelter She is an idiot. You can’t do this. Some people have tried and been caught. She’s a grifter like her son.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@JohnJHarwood And that has worked out so well for Must and Twitter.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@Logically_JC He fomented an attempted insurrection.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@QuinHillyer @dcexaminer That's easy. Because he is a crook.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@DavidMastio @USATODAY Cowards all.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@JohnJHarwood But not a one running for President except Trump.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@JakeSherman Apparently Kilmeade never took a history class, or slept through it. They were all Nazis. No whatever. All Nazis.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@JohnJHarwood Double dope. Apparently he never took a history class. They were all Nazis.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@mkhammer All fine to ask but where is the same concern and interest in the fact America may be about to elect a man to be President who is in mental decline?

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@mkhammer Why is this issue important when Trump lies about virtually everything and no one in the media demands proof. The reason, media expect Trump to lie and don't question it. It is his normal. The media is failing the public on this front.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@garykarr @Neil_Irwin It’s how you get in the news. That’s all that matters. No one goes back and looks at past predictions with the exception of the late, great David Broder who always did a column reviewing his predictions from the year before. Alas, those days are gone.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@mehdirhasan Nice point. And it’s irrelevant to everything. Trump is a terrible business person who lies about everything and that they accept.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@marcthiessen @nytimes What BS. I have no record of working at two country clubs as a lifeguard or the local YMCA nor swim coach at a club team in Pittsburgh. Never mentioned any of those on a resume or bio. What’s your point other than being mean and irrelevant?

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@JohnJHarwood How sad that someone with a platform like @asymmetricinfo could not take the 5 minutes it would have taken to find out how wrong her comment was. Pitiful. Makes you think she didn’t want to find out the truth.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@Logically_JC Yes. Much better. Not just financially Dow Jones at record high 401K reflects it. But more importantly emotionally. I no longer have to worry about the state of our nation.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@Meyer_HM @ddiamond RFK, Jr. is not to be trusted under any circumstances. And any reporting that presents him as credible is not good reporting. A very dangerous person.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@DonnaYoungDC @statnews While I don't agree with your comment @DonnaYoungDC , @joegrogan45 is absolutely wrong.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@BradfordPearson As a western PA native who went to school at the University of Pittsburgh I learned that it is an intellectual and physical impossibility to be both. Saying this is like asking for Swiss on a Philly Cheesesteak. You just don't do it as it shows your inauthenticity.

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@danpfeiffer @playbookdc Like it or not, media has changed. Traditional outlets no longer have the power and influence they once did in educating and influencing the public. And as my Mom always said, changes are inevitable but not all change is good (in this case for traditional media).

[William A. Pierce @WilliamAPierce]

@joshtpm This is just the more traditional media trying to pressure her to talk to them specifically but in this day and age, there are so many more avenues to address the public they have become just one more in a long list.
