Chuck Todd Bans Trump Phone Interviews from Meet the Press as Media Backlash Grows

… Donald Trump will no longer be allowed to phone in to NBC's “Meet The Press”. If Trump wants free media coverage on the Sunday show, he will now be forced to appear on camera in person….

“Donald Trump will no longer be allowed to phone in to NBC’s” Meet The Press”. If Trump wants free media coverage on the Sunday show, he will now be forced to appear on camera in person.
Jim Ruttenberg of “The New York Times” reported, “On Friday, Chuck Todd, the moderator of “Meet the Press,” told me he had only grudgingly allowed Mr. Trump to call in to his show earlier in the campaign, determining that he would rather have Mr. Trump take questions via phone than not at all. Now, Mr. Todd said, he will no longer allow Mr. Trump to do prescheduled interviews by phone on the NBC program.”

Todd was following the lead of Chris Wallace and Fox News Sunday, which was the first Sunday show to ban the Trump phone in interview. Trump has gotten an estimated $1.8 billion in free media from doing nothing more than sitting on his backside and talking on the phone…………

The corporate press has been shamed by several reports about the deals that they cut with Trump that allow him to dictate their coverage and the exposing of the discrepancy in the amount of free coverage that he has received in comparison to the other presidential candidates. “
Pro-Trump Media Bias Confirmed As Networks Admit To Pushing Trump Propaganda

The media has helped to build Donald Trump, and to allow Trump to do phone interviews also lets him read from prepared script and/or have other whisper in his ear ………… the media must distance itself and stop potentially handing a hatemonger a “free ride” and the Republican presidential nomination.”


Baiting, abusive and off subject…………Do you commo0nly allow this abuse of posters who m ay have a different point of view?

Trump Favorability Sinks Further

A new Bloomberg poll shows Donald Trump with a 29% to 68% favorability rating.

Said pollster Ann Selzer: “Trump’s numbers are bad and getting worse…A majority of Americans now describe their feelings toward him as very unfavorable. That’s a 13-point spike from November 2015.”

In contrast, Hillary Clinton has a 44% to 53% favorability rating…………
