I won’t purchase her’s or anyone else’s book containing info that could have benefited the American public and legal/govt authorities before the end of his term. She has been defiant during any interviews which makes me dislike her more.

It’s a failure of the fifth estate when their book deals are more important than their by-lines. Withholding information to make a buck is a betrayal of public trust.

Her Twitter feed (posts, retweets, replies) are primarily intended to advance her celebrity, and sell her book. She rarely provides news or commentary on the state of politics, which is the ‘beat’ she allegedly reports on.

Couldn’t find someone that read the book?
With @maggieNYT 's cynical, self-enriching, unethically delayed release of information, @nytimes has regressed to a paper of *delayed* record.

Michael’s argument is ridiculous and nonsensical.

@SteveSchmidtSES is right. It seemed strange how Haberman maintained access with the WH while Trump continued to berate the NYT. Now that symbiotic, parasitic relationship makes sense. But of course, here goes the journos circling the wagons—what about their book deals!? 🤦‍♂️
