Scripting News: Did you forget that quickly?

We've noted this before.#
Established facts about Trump eventually lose their currency, reporters forget and report it as big news next time they see it happening. #
Trump's fealty to Putin for example. How could a reporter forget that? Yet they seem to. #
Two moments to bring you back. #
Picture 1.#
Picture 2.#
There are so many of these pictures. #
Remember we tried letting Trump play president, we shouldn't have survived it, and in a lot of ways we didn't.#
Collectively we're like the main character in The Sixth Sense (no spoilers, but if you have seen it you know what I mean).#
So please, dear reporters and editors, try to factor actual proven facts into the context of your reporting.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
