President Donald Trump on Wednesday called PBS correspondent Yamiche Alcindor’s question about the boost he’s given to white nationalists “racist.” She said later on twitter: “We press on.”
A note: I followed up the president calling my question "racist" with a policy question about his proposed middle class tax cut because that's what journalists do. We press on. We focus on the privilege of asking questions for a living. We do the work.

Reporter Vows To ‘Press On’ After Trump Calls Q About White Nationalism 'Racist’
Well done, Ma’am! Keep Going!
Actually, no.
It’s what journalists are SUPPOSED to do. They stopped some time ago.
Maybe we can come up with a new term for journalists who are actually more than stenographers?
She is as sharp as a tack, quick as a whip, and as big a contrast in professionalism as one can be compared to trump.
Yes, they need to press on. And that takes some doing. But I think that with the president of the Unites States being a fascist asshole moron, the press needs also to function as a cohesive group, not as individuals out for what they can get. They need to have each others’ backs and attack the bastard. Every time. He needs to be held to account and brought down. He needs to be accused, aggressively, repeatedly, and publicly.
