Kaitlan Collins – Focusing on Reporting, Not Trump’s Insults | The Daily Show
“It’s really not about me, and I don’t want it to be about my reaction. …in those moments it’s important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non-answers that we get.” Jon Stewart sits down with CNN’s award-winning chief White House correspondent and “The Source” anchor Kaitlan Collins to discuss the White House Correspondents’ dinner and how she handles insults from the president. They talk about how the White House press corps has changed in the 10 years since she started covering Trump, reporters’ frustrations with the president’s refusal to answer questions, and the value of asking follow-up questions. Plus, Jon prepares a little roleplay to encourage Collins to give Trump a taste of his own medicine. #DailyShow #KaitlanCollins #Trump #CNN #WHCD

During the felons first term she was working at fox news. She wasn't the most radical but she did spew fox BS. She has changed a lot.

But Kaitlan, you are NOT doing. Open CNN and see if there is any tough reporting dissecting all the corruption. No, there isn't. So yes, you can ask all the questions you want but they don't turn into reporting. So you have to admit that your organization has also caved.

You are a highly skilled professional journalist who asks penetrating political questions. So let's ask an irrelevant pointless sexist question about your smile. Would you ask that of Walter Kronkite?

13:15 his obsession with her is purely this: "This is an attractive woman who isnt falling all over herself to satisfy me due to my wealth/power. How can I break her?"
It's just an abuser trying to find his angle for a new victim. The fact she refuses to become a victim is just infuriating to him, and his tiny brain can't let it go.

There's a whole bunch of people complaining that no one heckled Trump and all I can think is, "There's this thing called professionalism. Just because Trump is so lacking in it doesn't mean we all have to sink to his level."

But it is about her. Specifically, it's about Kaitlan Collins being a woman. Trump's fragile ego takes a beating every time an attractive young woman refuses to buy his BS and fails to smile as he insults her.

It's actually a miracle that she still has any brain cells left after listening to every Donald Trump speech for 10 years.

The only part she got wrong was when she said her colleagues at CNN and in the press corps ask tough questions. Patently not true – they cave .
