Putin answers question if he has dirt on Trump: 'I don’t want to insult President Trump when I...

This has to be one of the dumbest questions ever asked by any journalist. Really. DUMB! Imagine that you are one of the few who is called upon to ask a question of two of the most important political leaders in the world and you waste that opportunity asking something that you know will not be answered the way you want. Therein lies the real issue. The "journalist" wants a particular answer and will frame the answer to fit his narrative: Putin has the dirt on Trump but won't admit it! Click bait. I grew up reading three newspapers every day, cover-to-cover. I was treated to the storytelling styles of many of the greatest including H. L. Mencken in my home town of Baltimore. I don't read any newspapers today. I don't waste time watching broadcast news. And this is the reason why. There are none worthy of the appellation "journalist". They are propagandists and shills, every damn one of them.
