WASHINGTON Top White House aides tried in vain to persuade President Donald Trump that he should let them check his tweets for accuracy, spelling and tone before he posted them for the world to see, journalist Bob Woodward wrote in his book that was released Tuesday. Woodward said the aides led by former communications director Hope Hicks were alarmed by the outrage over Trump's June 2017 tweet attacking the appearance and intelligence of Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" political talk show.
Vice President Mike Pence might have the most to gain from a premature end to Donald Trump's presidency, but in an interview aired Sunday, he forcefully denied engaging in any discussion about invoking the 25th Amendment to eject Trump from office. The vice president, who made appearances on two major Sunday news-talk shows, also delivered a sweeping condemnation of Watergate journalist Bob Woodward's depiction of a capricious and incurious president, and again denied authorship of a stinging anonymous op-ed piece published last week in The New York Times that describes high-level officials discussing removing Trump.
Journalist Bob Woodward's new book and an op-ed by an anonymous administration official portray Donald Trump as dangerously capricious and amoral, exhibiting textbook symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and behaving in ways that suggest, to some, early signs of age-related dementia. We've all known about Trump from the beginning.
In the age of " media-bashing enthusiast " President Donald Trump-who regularly declares critical journalists and outlets "fake news" and "the enemy of the American people"-at least 43 percent of Republican respondents to a new survey said they believe "the president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior." The Ipsos poll , first reported by The Daily Beast 's Sam Stein, also found that nearly half of Republicans agree with one of the president's most common claims: that "the news media is the enemy of the American people."
Donald Trump is upping his rally schedule dramatically . There's a thin pretext that these rallies are about bolstering Republicans in the midterm campaigns , but even the more cowardly media outlets seem to have given up the farce of pretending that Trump, who can barely be bothered to mention the candidates he's allegedly supporting, is doing this for any other reason than old-fashioned Goebbels-style propaganda.
Satirists and comedians are not the only benefactors of the scandal-ridden Trump White House - publishers, too, have ridden a wave of interest around a presidency that defies ordinary description. Be they cash-ins or penetrating portraits, Australian readers have been keen to know more about the businessman-turned-politician, but the appetite for Trump exposes is to be tested with a slew of new titles due on bookshop shelves in the lead up to Christmas.
I wrote my first column for the New York Daily News 10 years ago. It was August, and a little-known Alaska governor had just been tapped as John McCain's vice presidential candidate.
On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee voted to adopt the first of three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon, charging he had personally tried to obstruct justice in the Watergate case. As every history buff and journalism nerd knows, that very likely would not have happened without the dogged investigative reporting of a couple of young Washington Post reporters: Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.
The story of how white suffrage activists went full racist in the late 19th century in their demands for the right to vote is well-known among American historians. But as we reach the centennial of the 19th Amendment in 2020, to what extent will this racism be recognized in the celebration of suffrage? Brent Staples has a good piece here and he does what journalists should do-rely on historians, who tell straightforward stories about the past that are increasingly written to be accessible to the general public, as opposed to many other disciplines for whom communication seems to be an outright enemy, to inform his analysis.

President Donald Trump falsely claimed that his administration hadn't implemented new policies leading to the separation of children from their parents at the U.S. border, and said immigration is changing Europe "and I don't mean in a positive way." Trump was told during an interview on Air Force One with British journalist Piers Morgan that protests against his visit across the U.K. were a response to his administration's policy of child separation.

"Breaking News" has become a television cliche and heartbreaking news has become the norm in an America that celebrated its birthday last week. As this nation observed the July 4 holiday on Wednesday, there was disunity in the United States and fear in "the home of the brave."
A former Fairfax reporter and foreign policy advisor to the Prime Minister says he did not write that political donor Chau Chak Wing had bribed an UN official, only that was he suspected of involvement in the matter.

Doug Saunders, the award-winning international affairs columnist for The Globe and Mail, posted his paper's new style guide on honorifics to Twitter: My PhD-holding friends: You will heretofore be known, in Canada's national newspaper, as "Ms" or "Mr" on second reference. pic.twitter.com/DvZVveSC8N My initial instinct was two-fold.
The beauty and ugliness of the Internet is the ability of people to give whatever opinion one wants. The World Wide Web is a place where those with pretty much any viewpoint or desire can find others with similar beliefs, connect with them, and discuss whatever topic comes to mind.
Inside a wood-and-leather conference room at the Department of Justice in Washington, a group of veteran journalists gathered last Wednesday to hear the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, review the government's policies on obtaining information from reporters. The guidelines created under President Barack Obama, Mr. Rosenstein said, remained in effect: barring certain circumstances, like an imminent threat to national security, reporters would be told in advance of any attempt to obtain their records.
