I do not believe many would give that courtesy to Trump.I think all the Presidents get that preferential treatment prior to interviews. They know what questions are coming. All of them. And all the Presidents are given that courtesy, so they won't look stupid.When is Trump going on Rachel Maddow?
As soon as Maddow agrees to all of the terms O'Reilly did with Obama, I am sure he would have no problem with it. O'Reilly's first interview with Obama was pretty decent, the 2nd one was an obvious ratings grab as Bill O agreed to Obama's terms. Now, that is not fact, that is a rumor that it happened. One I unfortunately believe... the interview was akin to a Barbara Walters "what is your favorite color" softball love fest.
I would say that is true, however I do not believe many would give that courtesy to Trump.
I don't. When you have someone as liberal as Jimmy Carter saying this is the worst media treatment of a President in history - you know it is bad.
Of course they would, or he wouldn't take the interview.
I googled Trump interviews CNN and the latest I got was June 2016, when he was still a candidate. (It was with Jake Tapper.)
Remember, it was Meghyn Kelly, Fox News, who fried his ass the worst, not CNN.
She hated him. As did most conservative media back then.
