A likely correct impression of the Trump White House is that most people working there did little but shit talk each other to journalists. I don't think the Dems are quite that bad, but "make sure everyone else is to blame for my colossal fuckups" is still an important part of the job.
And as many of our journalists are truffle pigs to power, the more impressive your job title is, the wealthier your benefactors, the more likely it is they print your version.
