Greetings! An early review for Donald Trump’s just-published coffee table book Save America was just published and – surprise! – it’s a rave. The prolific Liberty Paige of the ultra-right outlet SteveGruber.com describes the $92, four-pound pound tome as “full of photos and Trump’s iconic literary flair in captions.” Never thought I’d see “literary flair” and “Trump” in the same sentence…Former Time magazine senior editor and cultural critic Richard Zoglin joins the chorus shaming Donald Trump’s disgraceful Arlington National Cemetery visit last week. Zoglin slams The Donald for his disregard and disdain for workers. “Trump has no understanding or respect for people who simply work hard, follow the rules and do their job, so they can bring a paycheck home to support the family,” writes Zoglin on his website…Media junkies rejoice. Former CNN media maven Brian Stelter announced his return to the network that booted him two years ago. Stelter’s Reliable Sources newsletter will resume publication under his watchful eye September 9. That means there will be two must-read nightly media newsletters: Reliable Sources and the just launched Status News from ex-CNN scoop machine Oliver Darcy. My hope is that both hit my inbox before 9 p.m. so I don’t have to stay up until midnight to stay informed…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
