Deadline: White House

Nicolle Wallace spends a good part of the show reading to her audience. She must think either that her viewers are too dumb to read for themselves or that it's impressive to demonstrate her own ability to read. Today she read a good portion of Jeffrey Goldberg's Atlantic article on General Mark Milley, occasionally asking her guests, (including a U. S. General) to comment on what she's read.

It wouldn't be so bad if she were able to read with expression. As Dorothy Parker famously said, "Her emotions ran the gamut from A to B." Which pretty much characterizes Wallace's reading of the teleprompter as well. Instead of reading long excerpts of newspaper and magazine articles, Wallace might try trusting her viewers to read for themselves and concentating more on preparing better to have more spontaneous discussions with her guests.
