Of, by, and for television

"About a week ago, I was watching the nightly news," Trump said. "I won'r say which one because I don't want to give them credit." A Carrier worker had challenged Mr. Trump to keep his promise to stop the manufacturer from leaving the state.

"This was news to Mr. Trump, who didn't believe he had made the promise until the newscast showed video of him doing it. There it was, on TV.

"It was a striking admission. And it captured, in miniature, what it means to have a president-elect who is so thoroughly of, by and for television."
