All we need in the mornings is for Tiffany Cross to remind the media how they are supposed to do their jobs. It's not that hard. Use accuracy, and stop being so deferential to Trump and his racist/misogynistic/homophobic/illiterate (take your pick) voter. Why are so few — even the ones we open-minded, educated, coastal elites rely upon like MSNBC — able to pull it off?

That's how good the headlines work for him. This report in Axios says that a source with president Trump at Mar-a-Lago when the Mueller letter came out tells Axios' Alayna Treene, says Trump was initially frustrated with Barr over the line saying the president hadn't been exonerated on obstruction of justice, so that he essentially thought the letter was bad for him. Once he started to watch the TV coverage and realized he was getting positive headlines, he was like, "I feel great!"
