Steve Hayes: Journalists Must Have Patience, Not Jump to Conclusions on Trump’s Tweets

RUSH EXCERPT:

HAYES: “It changes the way we report on these things, Donald Trump tweeted to do this, we are waiting clarification of what it means and we have seen the press doing that, tweets on trade that he spent on Boeing, carrier before that, seems to be making policy, delving deep into the weeds of policies of these deals, it is not clear what he is going to do because of what he said in 140 characters. The press will need to step back and wait for this to unfold. It is a different challenge. We have talked many times about how the news cycle has sped up, 24/7 news cycle, with social media. It is going to take patience on the part of journalists to not jump to conclusions based on the latest tweet from the president. Those policies will take a while to sort of ripen.”
