This is really something and worth your time. For those who don't know, the guy who isn't Jeremy O. Harris is Mark Guiducci, editorial director of Vanity Fair. And having worked on the print side of magazine for decades, I can confirm that "What thay want is the picture" is the cold, brutal truth.

Hired with no experience as assistants to columnists like Maureen Dowd, then assigned to cover President and national news Failing upward and "meritocracy" promoted by fellow mediocre and biased NYT editors Top Times politics reporters, reporting that Trump speeches are comparable to James Joyce:
To watch him up close on this third run for president was to see him blend comedy, fury, optimism, darkness and cynicism like never before. He was an expert communicator, able to transmute legal and mortal peril to build upon his self mythology. He won new supporters and kept old ones in thrall.
