Mr. President, the American people salute the rank, not the man and have appointed me the honor of acting as their voice tonight. My questions are from your constituents, those same American people and I expect you will afford them the respect of a thoughtful reply to their questions.

And then the second he stepped out of line or ramped up his usual bloviating bullshit, I would cut the mic, kill the camera and walk off the set. Sure, it might seem a little "Animal House"-esque (walking out on the Dean and the rigged hearing), but there is no way the press in this country will EVER recover if they do not stop bowing down to this demented mad man/charlatan/clown/festering boil on the ass of humanity...
