Meanwhile, Trump’s release of the YouTube video came as he met with top corporate television anchors and executives, including Lester Holt, Charlie Rose, George Stephanopoulos, Wolf Blitzer, Martha Raddatz and David Muir, at Trump Tower Monday. The meeting was off the record, and the anchors and reporters who attended it have refused to comment on it. But leaked details about the meeting suggest Trump chastised the journalists for their coverage during the campaign, which he has complained was biased against him. The networks have also been criticized for giving Trump an overwhelming amount of free exposure early in the campaign in order to boost ratings. Erik Wemple of The Washington Post criticized the networks for agreeing to the terms of Monday’s off-the-record meeting, saying, “They learned nothing over past 18 months of covering Trump.” Trump is slated to meet with editors and reporters at The New York Times building today.
