Steve M. notes Bannon's ethos of "anchor left, pivot right": his planting stories in the NYT and other respected media ("left") to advance the agenda. Steve concludes that Bannon convinced Trump to divert the media with the pretend apology—
It looks to me as if Trump is trying to "anchor left" by impressing the mainstream press with his phony contrition. And I suppose more seemingly substantive teleprompter speeches will follow, in order to gull the MSM rubes.Brannon brings Trump access to the current crop of insane plutocrats who fund the GOP. Next stop: Trump News Network.
I'm sure Trump agreed to this only because Bannon told him it would better prepare the ground for vicious attacks on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. So more of those attacks are coming. The point of this was to soften the MSM up.
