Would he be sent to a “club fed” style prison — or a “bad” one? Would he have Secret Service protection? And what would they make him wear? Those are some of the questions Donald Trump is asking hi…
It's not like a Rolling Stone journalist went and asked. Journalists have these things called "sources":
While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president.
That would never have gotten past any decent editor 20 years ago.
See, if you say one unnamed source, it's not quite as believable to people who lack critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. Better make it three. Five would be too many.
The yellow journalists also like to used "experts" (unnamed of course) to pedal their garbage talking points.
"Three sources familiar with some Rolling Stones writer's thinking say they like to smell their own farts"
See, I can make shit up too.
Actual journalism isn't quite completely dead, but it's on life support.
