POTUS has given interviews to the NY Times. Many times. Including an interview with hateful Maggie Habermann. Should we hound him out of office, too?
Not comparable. The President has to do interviews with major national media. Steve King is just one of 435 members of Congress. He represents a quarter of a million people in Iowa. How many people in his district even read the New York Times? Why does he think the New York Times even cares what a random Congressperson from Iowa even thinks, other than to try to embarrass Trump and the GOP?
In that NYT interview you describe from July 2017, the one thing I'll never forget was how the notoriously hateful Maggie Habermann was clearly astonished that Trump was a normal human being and was not huddled under his desk quaking in fear over the Mueller investigation.
Look at the King situation and see exactly how differently the two approach these things.
King runs around claiming that the NYT quoted him out of context.
Trump would have posted about a half-dozen Twitter messages calling the "failing New York Time" a bunch of "fake news" liars.
