The producer-in- chief.
Trump tried to get Norah O'Donnell to say that there is less visible crime in DC these days. When she dithered, he said: "You don't have to use that one. Don't worry. Don't worry. I don't want to embarrass her.

Really too bad that @nypost, the only outlet in town with the energy and chops to flood the zone on the other de Blasio, is constrained by News Corp loyalty/embarassmment.

Huge L for @thetimes if this is true. NewsCorp has generally avoided debasing its respectable titles in this way.

Quite an epic AI typo in The Journal today. The Paramount exec is named Cindy Holland and they wrote “Cindy the Netherlands”
