Fellow journos are left speechless because this story by Olivia Nuzzi is real, not an imaginative parody, and it just happened yesterday.

Maggie Haberman reduced to reporting second hand what was told to Nuzzi:

Among the bits from @Olivianuzzi: ‘No, we have found no collusion.’ He’s a judge at the Senate committee. [Note: Burr is chair of Senate Intelligence Committee]. https://t.co/tUzCAaPaiL

Glenn Thrush is playing critic, giving a rave for a graph:

Jonathan Swan's comment. Is this sincere, or is it trying to suck up? He was gonna be the next Bob Woodward but now a female's gets it?

Olivia Nuzzi is a national treasure.

Maggie also praised, for which Olivia thanked her:

This is....well, just read it. Can't do it justice in a tweet. Via @Olivianuzzi https://t.co/tUzCAaPaiL

CNN's Stelter:

A must-read about Nuzzi's impromptu interview with Trump. He said she's a "disruptive writer but that's okay"https://t.co/qqh6bCtIlA

ABC's Travers "must read"

“This was beginning to feel ridiculous, like this was the reunion episode of a sitcom, in which Bob Saget might come out next to an applause track.”

Moving beyond Orwellian and into Kafka now:

Hi Geraldo - this is from a pool report from the White House crew of poolers with him on AF1 today. They're often quoted on Twitter, as they were during the first president under whom Twitter existed, Obama, and there is nothing new in that. Have a good one. https://t.co/TFQd7eMGs5

Geraldan. Riverian. What term ascribes the appropriate amount of awe & shame for this special unicorn?

special unicorn indeedy do; you are spot on here

Until a few mos. ago, I thought he was dead, I had no idea they dragged out ye olde Young Lords lefty turned GOP opportunist after Monica Lewinsky fame and O.J. trial to play a MAGA role. I am going: huh? you still haven't solved Jon Benet Ramsey's murder. I just looked at the wikipedia entry now geeeeez, since I stopped paying attention in like 1999, he continued to get into all kinds of shit.
