The Trump campaign is sending this memo to TV producers:

Кампания Трампа! Think about it. Нет, серьезно, think about it.
P.S. Приведенные в мемо цитаты, конечно, just fine, но я не об этом.

The list of guests who made outlandish, false claims includes, but is not litmited to: [...]Кампания Трампа призывает телепродюсеров не приглашать гостей, которые делают "outlandish", "outrageous" и, о ужас, "unsupported" (!) claims.
Moving forward, we ask that you employ basic journalistic standards when booking such guests to appear anywhere in your universe of productions. You should begin by asking the basic question: "Does this guest warrant further appearances in our programming, given the outrageous and unsupported claims made in the past?"
Кампания Трампа! Think about it. Нет, серьезно, think about it.

"we ask that you employ basic journalistic standards"
По-вашему, призыв быть хорошими журналистами оскорбляет Fake News?

Al Baldasaro, a surrogate for Trump on veterans’ issues, said in a radio interview that Clinton should be “put in the firing line and shot for treason.” He also suggested Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who spoke at the Democratic convention, is a “Muslim Brotherhood agent.”
Surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes, a TV regular, said after Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine spoke in Spanish: “I’m hoping I’m not going to have to start kind of brushing up on my ‘Dora the Explorer’ to understand some of the speeches.” Hughes, asked on CNN about the possibility of violence at the Republican convention, said: “Riots aren’t necessarily a bad thing.”
Rudy Giuliani, once revered as “America’s mayor,” has become a punchline as Trump surrogate for playing doctor on Fox News: “Go online and put down ‘Hillary Clinton illness.’ Take a look at the videos for yourself.”
Surrogate Omarosa Manigault, once a contestant on “The Apprentice,” defended violence against demonstrators at Trump events: “You get what’s coming to you.” Andrew Dean Litinsky, also a former “Apprentice” contestant, defended a 78-year-old Trump supporter who sucker-punched a black protester at a Trump event: “It looks like good exercise.”
On CNN, surrogate Jeffrey Lord has distinguished himself by saying the Ku Klux Klan is “a function of the left.” After Trump said the U.S.-born judge in a case against him was a “Mexican” whose heritage disqualified him, Lord said those criticizing Trump were the real racists. And young Trump surrogate Kayleigh McEnany cheerfully defended waterboarding as a “bit of discomfort.”
Paid mouthpieces for the Trump campaign don’t fare a whole lot better. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen last year defended Trump against an old allegation by his first wife by falsely saying “you cannot rape your spouse.” Cohen recently became an Internet star when, asked on CNN about Trump’s poor poll numbers, he responded repeatedly and nonsensically: “Says who?”
Then there’s national spokeswoman (and reality TV star) Katrina Pierson, whose pre-Trump days include 2012 tweets asking if 9/11 was “an inside job” and lamenting that both President Obama’s and Mitt Romney’s fathers were born abroad. “Any pure breeds left?” she asked.
This month on CNN, she blamed the death of Army Capt. Humayun Khan (Khizr’s son) on Obama and Clinton: “It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life.”
Khan died in 2004, during George W. Bush’s first term. But no matter: In Trump’s surrogate circus, anything goes.
