John Avlon: Trump Doesn’t Do Interviews with Outlets that Don’t Offer a ‘Partisan Reinforcing Foot Massage’
‘But Donald Trump, obviously, not only taking a shot at Time’
RUSH EXCERPT:
AVLON: "Right, which would be totally normal. I mean, you got people in that sort of upper echelon of essays for Person of the Year, the standard always is the person who’s had the biggest impact on the news, not good, bad or indifferent. And that’s a standard procedure. They’re going to call a handful of folks and set it up and do the big reveal. But Donald Trump, obviously, not only taking a shot at Time, saying, look, you don’t guarantee me — I’m not going to participate. Obviously, the real motivation, though, you got to assume is, not wanting to sit down for an interview with a news outlet that doesn’t simply offer partisan reinforcing foot massage."
