Maggie Haberman is a great journalist. To the point that any time we Plebes point out that maybe she’s a little too close to Trumplandia, the Liberal Elites circle the wagons around her and tell us we “don’t know how journalism works.”
And, yet.
While she is a great journalist, there was a recent reminder that she does have a weakness — she really is a little too close to Trumplandia.
Now, to call her “the Trump Whisperer” who sucks up to MAGA Nazis because of “access journalism” is too loaded. But the above is proof that she is “soft” on Trump. For all the great journalism she’s produced, even the people she’s reporting on in Trumplandia think she’s little more than a stenographer for them when the time comes.
So, at this point, it’s really an issue of semantics — when it comes to Heberman, both sides are right. She is a great journalist, but she is also a big old suck up to Trumplandia.
