@kahlesjf It's simply a way of calling attention to a different view, or specific facts.
It is stunning that a viewer would FEEL condescended to by a talking head who doesn't know the viewer exists.
It is a mannerism, and nothing more. But apparently those who FEEL it is condescending have only encountered it in the context of argument and felt inadequate against the other's view.
Is it "condescending" when opposing counsel in litigation, in court, follows up on the lawyer who omits facts with, "But, your honor, I call attention to X"? Of course not.
Condescension is in an overall attitude, not in a pause-for-thought drawing of attention to specifics. alternatives, or additional information.
If you're talking about Trump lawyers Bobb or Habba, it is baseless arrogance by individuals who are out of their league but believe bullshitting is legitimate substitute for sound argument.
All in all, if one is objecting to the FACTS being reported, so attacks the reporter, then that is both petty and dishonest: the problem isn't the facts; the problem is with the person who doesn't like the facts.

@joevelte4252 This is the LAW on this issue:
Trump's THEFT of gov't property is not limited to classified information. ALL information generated by gov't employees is owned BY THE GOV'T.
That has been the law since the first Supreme Court ruling on the question in the 18th century.
Let's be more particular by presenting the FACTS, oblivious and duped Trumpeter:
1. Several of Trump's WHITE HOUSE lawyers have testified under oath that Trump said of the STOLEN GOV'T PROPERTY, "It's mine, it's not theirs."
2. Because Trump refused to cooperate by handing over the GOV'T PROPERTY he STOLE to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), NARA referred the issue to DOJ.
3. After the first 15 boxes were retrieved, and the DOJ and FBI learned that those were not all of the GOV'T PROPERTY Trump STOLE and was ILLEGALLY WITHHOLDING, the DOJ and FBI bent over backwards in effort to cooperate in the retrieval of the rest of the STOLEN GOV'T PROPERTY. Trump instead engaged in what he called "negotiation" over the issue. Does law enforcement cooperate with a bank robber who wants to "negotiate" over "whether," "how much," and "when" the robber will return the stolen money?
4. Trump denied having additional STOLEN GOV'T PROPERTY so the DOJ/FBI subpoenaed the remainder. Trump provided a few -- proving that his claim to have no mare was FALSE -- and at least one of his lawyers signed a declaration attesting to the "fact" that there were no more STOLEN GOV'T PROPERTY to turn over.
5. Finally, because Trump TALKED about "cooperating" but did not do so, the DOJ/FBI got a warrant for search and retrieved even more boxes of STOLEN GOV'T PROPERTY, in total to date more than two dozen.
It wouldn't have been an issue if Trump had simply turned over all the documents at the outset. Instead, the PAPER TRAIL of the effort documents Trump LYING, and blowing off a subpoena.
And then his lawyer BOBB publicly stated that she was kept from the premises and didn't receive the warrant. IN FACT, as the unsealed warrant/inventory show, BOBB SIGNED the warrant/affidavit as the RECIPIENT of them.
Trump has NEVER accepted "NO!" even when the "NO!" is the LAW. So you are arrogantly and stupidly defending CRIME.
Question:
Is TRUMP above the law?
