Alcindor: Covering Trump Is a ‘Team Sport’ for Press: We ‘Have Each Other’s Back’

‘We have to have each other’s back in the press corps and Jeremy had my back today’

EXCERPT:
ALCINDOR: "It went a bit better than the first round which was the first time the President lashed out at me and said I was trying to hold him accountable by quoting his words back to him. In this case, of course, I have to say thank you to Jeremy of CNN for giving me the opportunity to ask my second question. We know now that covering President Trump sometimes is like a team sport. We have to have each other's back in the press corps and Jeremy had my back today. I appreciate that.”
