There's fair, there's bias, there's nauseating, and then there's praise. Can you guess which interview this one is? Seriously though, all those who are against media bias, is this crap what you'd rather have?

A few other responses, condensed:

Barack Obama? “Very nice to me personally but his people haven’t been nice.”

The Wall? “Some great designs coming in.”

Kellyanne Conway: “Very nice woman.”

Hillary Clinton: “Disappointed.”

Vladimir Putin: “I don’t know him but certainly he is a tough cookie.”

Elizabeth Warren: “Craziness and anger. Pocahontas would not be proud of her.”

Bill O’Reilly: “Don’t kid yourself, he’s a talented guy.”

Jesse Watters: “Tremendous future, tremendous potential…And honestly you’ve been so nice to me that this is why I turned down the biggest shows on television and here I am, Watters’ World.

Donald Trump Calls Tax Returns Sacred & Vladimir Putin “Tough Cookie” | Deadline

No Donald, the reason you are on Watters world is because Watters doesn't have a backbone and won't ask you to comment on the tax returns like everyone else. At least Obama waited awhile until he started going on shows like this.
 
I didn't watch Trump's interview with Jesse Watters. Why does this interview bug you so much?

Because this other than Fox & Friends and perhaps Tucker Carlson is the easiest cop-out ever.
 
You do understand that Watters is not a real reporter, right? He more like Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick, Guillermo, who does interviews. Would you criticize his interviews?

Jesse Waters is nowhere near being a journalist. He's an arrogant spin off of Bill O'Reilly. Saying Jesse Waters is a journalist is like saying Rachel Maddow is a journalist, or Al Sharpton is a Reverend.

This is more like a free association activity one might do with a psychoanalyst, rather than a journalistic piece.

I would if after all the people who Trump could go to he chose Guillermo.

Instead of describing himself as a humorist, maybe Watters should make an effort to be funny?:shrug:
That would make it more clear.

Evidently he is funny to some people - his audience and fans - or he wouldn't have an ongoing gig at Fox. But, that doesn't mean that you or I have to find him funny (I don't by the way) for him to call himself a humorist and still be accurate.

Watters and his "world" is an acquired taste.

I hear ya.
It's true that there are plenty of unintentionally funny "journalists" working at FOX... so why couldn't there be failed intentional humorists as well?
I was just suggesting a better way forward for Watters.

He's so far down my list of crap to care about, that I can't even try to care even if I wanted to.
 
Yet, Obama going on Oprah was great, right?

Watters is a bit guy. Not a journalist. Just like Oprah.
 
I did not see it advertised as a hard hitting interview so I categorized it for what it was..a bit piece.

Now the madcow hyping, tweeting, and advertising for her piece was wayyy over the top and a swan dive into the fake news pool.

Cobert on Maddow
