If #1 were true, literally _anyone_ in spez's position would shut up and get on with things. The fact is that he initially did that — and then as the week has gone on, he has begun giving more and more unhinged interviews with the press. He's not saying "it blew over", he's blaming anyone and everyone he can think of, making objectively false statements about history and his own actions, and making overt threats to his perceived enemies.
It is very plainly having a much bigger impact than spez anticipated.

- brewdad 3y agoThat seems to be the NPR way the past few years. Allow guests of all stripes on the air to say whatever nonsense the can dream up. And then move on to the next question with no follow-up or pushback. All in the name of "neutrality". It's not journalism and it does a disservice to their listeners.
