GOP Plays Hardball on Judges, Trump & Free Press, NBC Spiked Weinstein Story
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for squashing the "blue slip" system and expediting the confirmation of judicial appointments. Even though they're pretty sure President Trump is joking about pulling network licenses in response to "fake news," they explain why a president should never be threatening the existence of a media outlet over their content. And they cheer Ronan Farrow for his impressive reporting on the extent of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assaults and harassment, while also blasting NBC for its lame explanation for refusing to run the story months ago.
