Glenn Greenwald (bekannt durch seine Berichterstattung über Edward Snowden) macht sich über seine Kollegen lustig:

Media Stars Agree to Off-the-Record Meeting With Trump, Break Agreement, Whine About Mistreatment

The pretext these media stars offer for such meetings is unpersuasive in the extreme. “Oh, we need,” they claim, “to negotiate access and how we’re going to work together, and this discussion can be productive only if everyone is confident that it won’t be reported.” But why do media organizations need to have cooperative access agreements with politicians? Just report on and investigate what he says and does. Don’t agree to ground rules that limit or subvert your ability to report aggressively. Don’t turn yourselves into vassals in order to be granted access to the royal court.
