sidebar am I the ONLY one that finds it supremely fucked up that multiple reporters are pimping out books and sharing “new details” as a way to pimp their book(s)?

Trump offered FBI director job to John Kelly, asked for loyalty https://www.axios.com/trump-john-kelly-fbi-41678290-167a-44c2-a20a-377955485bc8.html

Perhaps I’m naive but as a reporter your job is to report facts in a timely manner to inform the American Public. To intentionally withhold such a big “scoop” for a lucrative “book deal” who does that serve?
This is the 2nd time in a week a “reporter” drops news bombs in a book

If someone has a reasonable argument why I’m being intractable- I’m open to hearing it
But like I said this is the 2nd time a reporter pimps out their book with “scoops” - journalism is hard & a thankless job
It’s the opportunistic approach that bugs me https://twitter.com/File411/status/1297255260352913414?s=20

With respect to Bolton - he’s a raging narcissist asshole so of course I expected him to “monetize” his access
Bolton is to blame for some of this FUBAR too
My current ire is aimed at the 2 reporters.
To me it seems they put money above Journalist ethics
I am Dragon fire MAD
