President-Elect Trump Meets With Media Executives “Off The Record”…

It would appear the greatest media concern is President-Elect Trump’s ability to communicate directly to the U.S. Electorate without needing the filter of corporate media. This potential new media irrelevance seems to lie at the heart of the MSM current angst.

 

Interestingly, Donald Trump is meeting with several executives and media personalities today in Trump Tower for an off-the-record discussion:

(Via CNN) […] The meeting will involve Trump, Conway and representatives from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox News. (NBC’s cable news channel MSNBC is included in the NBC invitation, Conway noted.)

Some of the top network anchors are traveling or on vacation this week, but others will be in attendance, the Trump aide said. Several executives from the networks will also be there.

Another source said ABC News president James Goldston and anchors George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, and Martha Raddatz are expected to attend.

There is much for the group to talk about. Trump has long-standing relationships with many in the TV news business — but he also waged an anti-media crusade during his campaign for president.

There are many looming questions about whether Trump will provide the same levels of press access that past presidents have permitted, like a traveling “press pool” and regular news conferences.
