During today’s broadcast of Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd addressed the audience and explained why there was nobody on today’s program representing the White House.

“As we always do, we asked the White House for any of a number of senior officials to join us the morning,” Todd noted. “Especially Cabinet secretaries; we always ask for them.”

He continued, “Ultimately, instead of suggesting a senior administration official or Cabinet secretary, the White House offered a deputy press secretary. And so we declined.”

This comes on the heels of President Donald Trump once again railing against the mainstream media during his CPAC speech last week, which was then followed by certain outlets being blocked from a White House press gaggle. Trump then took to Twitter yesterday to state that he will not be attending the White House Correspondents Dinner this year.

:badgrin: Looks like the "The Press" isn't meeting anybody.

Wonder how the ratings were for that show? :biggrin:


Newsflash NBC : When your bottom line depends on cooperation with certain people, it might be a good idea to play nice.
 
Given that it has always been understood a free and adversarial press is a fundamental requirement for a vibrant representative democratic form of government, and given that we don’t and have not for quite some time had a representative democratic form of government, I really don’t see what all the fuss is about.
