3. It's not "making it about yourself" when potus does something completely out of line

A reporter delving into how they personally felt and the damage to their career and reputation and so on would be making it about themselves I suppose.

But just questioning the appropriateness of a president hurling insults, pretty much always with some sexist/bigoted angle to boot, is called doing your job, covering what the president does.

Really, it's utterly pathetic that the media didn't bury him the minute he trotted out the whole "fake news" nonsense. Shows how completely beholden they are to him.
