Trump Plays the Media

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, senior contributor Mike Barnicle and host Joe Scarborough discuss the media coverage of President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign and what the public might expect from the coverage of his Presidency in the coming year. “Unfortunately, large parts of the media [but] not all of the media, have spent so much time obsessing over his tweets to the exclusion of ‘have you received a full intelligence briefing yet, Mr. President-elect’? You realize, when you think about it, that Donald Trump is playing us quite successfully because I don’t know… whether he has received a full intelligence briefing. I don’t know that he’s fully addressed… the relationship with Russia,” says Barnicle. Tune in to hear the rest of the conversation here.
