Tuesday Morning Politics: 'Amazon Wash Post;' Scott Pruitt's Ethics & More

Karen Tumulty, political columnist for The Washington Post, talks about the latest national political news -- from President Trump's condemnation of the "Amazon Washington Post," to Sinclair Group requiring its anchors across the country to recite a script about "fake news," changes to the census and more.
"We at the Post don't even get discounts at Whole Foods, what can I say." -- @washingtonpost columnist @ktumulty

@ktumulty on @MittRomney running for Senate (+ will probably win) in his adopted state of Utah -- "he's...saying some things that you're hearing from Donald Trump's conservative base of supporters, like Ann Coulter."

@ktumulty says we hear Pres. Trump is doing a lot of complaining in private about what he had to sign in the budget bill -- "he's promised he'll never again sign another piece of legislation like this...he's feeling betrayed by his own party."

On impartiality re: covering President Trump, @ktumulty says she thinks the best thing the media can do is lay out the facts, with context, and let readers make up their own minds.
