#57 Margaret Talev on the White House Press Corps

On February 17, 2017, President Donald J. Trump tweeted that the American news media is the enemy of the people. This was an escalation from the rhetoric candidate Trump used along the campaign trail continually rebuking the mainstream media as purveyors of fake news. The President's disdain for the media made it no surprise when he said that he would not be attending last week's White House Correspondence Association Dinner. The event is a long-held Washington tradition that celebrates the free press of the United States and honors the work of journalists. So what's it like to be a journalist covering a President who is so openly antagonistic to your profession? Is Donald Trump's disdain for the media as fierce when he's behind closed doors as it is when he speaks at rallies? And what is it like to go from covering the Obama White House to that of Donald Trump? In this episode of The Road to Now, we get the answers to these questions and more in our interview with Bloomberg White House Correspondent Margaret Talev.
