In a January 24, 2020 interview discussing her new book “A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump’s Testing of America“, Investigative Reporter Carol Leonnig, responded to a question about the cost of the Trump circus and lies.
Leonnig says:
We’re no longer in Walter Cronkite days. The consequence is people don’t agree on facts. And Phil and I have an extra job in addition to bringing you facts and that extra job is something the Post also takes really seriously with is now we got to show you how we made the cake. We’ve got to show you how we did the reporting or else you’re not going to believe us. And that’s our new chore.
