CNN’s White House correspondent Sara Murray said Wednesday that the White House pulled a “bait-and-switch” with anchors from the network at a meeting on Tuesday regarding the topic of immigration.
“Let’s just change gears entirely and talk about the bait and switch that the president pulled when it came to immigration yesterday. He had this meeting with the anchors, he talked about a path to legal status,” Murray said, according to Media Matters.
“Basically they fed us things that they thought these anchors would like, that they thought would give them positive press coverage for the next few hours. A senior administration official admitted that it was a misdirection play. And you will note that when the president was actually out there speaking to the American public, he didn’t talk about a path to legal status,” she explained.

A few hours. They succeeded, that's for sure. I haven't seen the level of positive Trump press coverage I've seen today ever before... they can't get enough of him. "Is this the new Donald Trump?"
LOL
As usual, the sleeper cells of Trump supporters in all the various news agencies activate and create a smokescreen of acceptability for Trump. Suddenly he's "Presidential" because he was able to stay coherent for 20 minutes while reading a teleprompter. The bar has been lowered so far that any tiny semblance of coherent thought or policy that he utters is compared to Reagan, JFK, Obama. It's a disgrace.
Nice to see that CNN has dropped the pretense of being anything more than the Democrats' attack dog. Stay tuned for the next video game clip proving that Republicans are evil Russian stooges!

I agree 100%.And folks wonder why Trump despises CNN and the media so...
I do hope Trump can learn the skill of tuning out crap like this from crap sources like CNN and Media Matters. Simply put: it doesn't matter what haters say about you. If you ignore them, they become marginalized as they should.

You just accused CNN of becoming a nakedly partisan attack dog for reporting something that no one seems to dispute is true.
Thanks for showing just how insane conservatives have become. Reporting facts means you're the enemy.
And you wonder why people question your judgment. I added other sources, above, and could add more but, well, they're all enemies of the people, right?
It's clear that Trump chumped the News Anchors with some fol-de-rol about a path to legality. It was well played. Don't pretend it didn't happen.
I still don't see the lie. He told reporters that he's open to a compromise. He made no statements on Tues night that said that he's not. What's the problem?
It's literally in the OP.
