    I liked when the camera people were rushed into the proper spot and the flag was lowered so it’d be in the frame when he reappeared

          Journalists embed themselves in military units all the time. There’s a big incentive to take personal risk to get footage of major events.

          Are we really pretending that the Trump administration had such a close relationship with certain media outlets that he convinced them to go along with this outlandish conspiracy and not a word of that has ever emerged?
