Reporter from The Hill stands up to Sarah Sanders. Awesome!

I have often dragged The Hill because it is owned by a Trumpite billionaire who slants The Hill via selection bias.

The owner (Finkelstein) encourages crazy conservative extremist op-ed writers, and he hired John Soloman from Sinclair/Circa who ran hit pieces on Hillary over the false uranium story (in truth, we now know Flynn was the one planning to do a nuclear deal with Russia).

But The Hill has some great, independent reporters. I try to note that when I drag The Hill's owner, and I will be extra-sure to note the good reporters in the future.

Because today we have some great news from a Hill reporter: Jordan Fabian.

Fabian, at a typical Sanders lie-filled press conference today, did the right thing.
Another reporter, Hallie Jackson, asked a question. Sanders dodged it. Jackson asked a followup. Sanders went to Fabian.

And then Fabian asked Jackson's question!

Hallelujah. This is great news!
This is the way to hold the president to account. It may actually be happening, the press corps may be going to hold power to account.

Thank you Jordan.

Members must support each other. Not only is it the right thing to do ethically and what their jobs require, they will increase the effectiveness of ALL of their members in getting truthful answers from SHS, or making her look ridiculous in trying to lie and bully them.
