The day Bob Mueller walked off that witness stand [July 24], two things happened. Our readers who want Donald Trump to go away suddenly thought, 'Holy s---, Bob Mueller is not going to do it.'
And Donald Trump got a little emboldened politically, I think. Because, you know, for obvious reasons. And I think that the story changed. A lot of the stuff we’re talking about started to emerge like six or seven weeks ago. We’re a little tiny bit flat-footed. I mean, that’s what happens when a story looks a certain way for two years. Right?
I think that we’ve got to change. I mean, the vision for coverage for the next two years is: ... How do we cover a guy who makes these kinds of remarks? How do we cover the world's reaction to him? How do we do that while continuing to cover his policies? How do we cover America, that’s become so divided by Donald Trump? ...
How do we write about race in a thoughtful way, something we haven’t done in a large way in a long time? That, to me, is the vision for coverage.

How about some actual investigative journalism? A deep dive into the effects of the tariffs? You know, with data. A look at the effects of the tax reform, what did the average person in each income bracket pay last year v previous year v next year? What about the ballooning deficit and what it will mean for our ability to finance in the future? What about a list of the policies/guidelines, etc. that have been either added or removed via executive order? What about a list of the bills that are sitting in Mitch McConnell's desk?

What I don't want is yet another breathless, clutching of pearls account of his latest tweet.
