Halperin: ‘Huge Mistake’ if Media Obsesses over Trump’s Twitter Use and Doesn’t Hold Him Accountable

‘If we obsess with that and not hold him accountable for policy and not hold him accountable for ethics, it will be a huge mistake’

HALPERIN: "We've got to focus on the policies that effect real lives of real people and hold him accountable for doing a good job. We have to make sure he adheres to ethics. What we can’t do is overcover ways he deviates from the norm that don't really affect the real lives of real people, because that could be the entire coverage. He will behave in a way through Twitter and the way he conducts himself unlike any president ever has and if we obsess over that and only cover that, not hold him accountable for policy and not hold him accountable for ethics, it will be a huge mistake."
