The Monday news cycle took a bizarre turn when Sam Nunberg, who briefly worked for the Trump campaign, did a parade of interviews on CNN, MSNBC and NY1 that left many viewers convinced they were watching a likely drunken man close to a nervous breakdown.
The base story was that the Mueller investigation, which has interviewed Nunberg, has now subpoenaed his emails and he feels disinclined to comply, or to testify before the grand jury.
Throughout the barely comprehensible statements made in the interviews we learned that Nunberg is considering a failure to comply, because he says doesn't have the time.
What did the interviews do to help viewers understand the Mueller investigation or the Trump administration? Nunberg really was basically a non-entity in the campaign.
Perhaps news outlets were moved by Nunberg's various unclear statements regarding how he thinks Mueller must have something on Trump regarding Russia.
There is a way to handle characters like Nunberg for news organizations.
Do his detractors in the news media have to keep making his point for him? The Nunberg interview circuit was a disgrace and it's exactly why so many Americans roll their eyes at the media.
