Nothing better on tv, so I happened to watch almost the entire thing. Trump will erupt with a ###-storm of tweets after the Minhaj roasting, but dude was pretty funny.
Also found it interesting to listen to Bernstein and Woodward - and I really feel that if we had more reporters like them we would not find ourselves in the state we are currently in where journalism and info-tainment have been blurred. Part of that comes from a point that Bernstein made - to be an effective journalist you need time. Incrementally report on the best obtainable truth instead of speculating to try to report the whole story before it has been investigated. Journalism should not be political, it should be reporting. What we have today from cable media is a battle between who can take the least time to investigate in order to report a "complete" story the fastest that supports an agenda as opposed to incremental reporting of the most obtainable truth. Whether you like Woodward and Bernstein - we need more journalist who are investigative, not accusatory in nature. If that investigation and research leads to necessary accusation then that is part of the process.
I hope our friends and CNN, Fox, MSNBC, OneAmericaNews, et al. were taking notes. By resorting to 20-second sound bite infotainment instead of investigative reporting we are allowing poitical figures to dismiss journalism as "fake" news. Get back to the basics and take that excuse away.
