NBC anchor who gave Clinton a pass, accused president of racism gets exclusive interview
A NBC News anchor who was seen as soft on Hillary Clinton and tough on Donald Trump in the first 2016 presidential debate will now get a rare one-on-one interview with President Trump.
Numerous media outlets reported on Tuesday morning that NBC News Lester Holt will get the on-camera sit-down with Trump this week.
The Hill reported that the interview will air both on Thursdays broadcast of NBC Nightly News and on Friday mornings Today Show. Holts interview comes at a time that conservative outlets are complaining about access to Trump, his Cabinet, and his staff.
Given how one-sided the major media [have] been with Trump, its almost surprising hes willing to engage them, said Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture for the Media Research Center. Our recent study showed that 89 percent of evening news coverage was negative about President Trump.
Gainor suggested Trump is still trying to play nice with media elite who are fundamentally committed to undermining his presidency.
Perhaps hes trying to win a few friends in the press, but thats hardly likely, he said, the news media are doing everything they can to sabotage his presidency.
Holt was the subject of intense conservative ire for roasting Trump at the first on-stage contest with Clinton, in what many commentators regarded as the most biased performance from any of the cycles presidential-debate moderators.

Love it. Thanks for sharing. I had not seen this. Funny how CNN apparently still has that up.... do they think it hurts Trump? Because it doesn’t. Makes him look like someone who won’t take their crap.
Lester is unwatchable.
Well if Trump slips up and Holt gets some dumb sounding soundbites (to be played over and over) out of him then its Trump's own fault.
You recall when Rand Paul went on Maddow’s show and she asked him if employers should be allowed to discriminate based on race?
Rand was completely unprepared.
Trump better stay away from history analogies.
Here’s Trump’s interview with Dickerson where Trump walked way.
So he doesn’t stay around for harassment by the interviewer. Trump
walks away at about the 3 minute mark.
Lester the loser
I go back with Holt to when he was hosting real life crime shows in ID. I really liked him.
It’s such a shame that he’s turned out to be just another dishonest leftist hack.
President Trump needs to go around the MSM and talk directly to the nation.
Jomo Kenyatta did it, too. Invited all the former enemies to a barbecue and charmed them, saying “we cannot afford to look backwards.” Holt will mutter under his breath, “I cannot afford to look forward. Why did you win? Why? Sepuku! That’s it! I’ll commit hari kiri! Who’ll give me the coup de grace, though...”
Lester Holt is a fifth-column leftist media cockroach. Trump needs to make squish with Holt.
