Brian Stelter: The President Rails Against the Elites But There Is Nobody More Elite than Him

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Yeah, it was a lengthy interview but he did cut it short. CBS will not say whether that moment was capture on camera. Trump is claiming he might release the video himself. But CBS says the White House only recorded the interview for archival purposes. So if they suddenly publish the interview online, they would be breaching the agreement. Look, Trump is telling a deep story here, it's about Trump against the elites, the elite media. And as much as he wants the attention from '60 Minutes,' he also wants to rail against it. But he knows, as you know, Anderson, '60 Minutes' is the most watched news program in America with lots of people, including a lot of senior citizens watching. Trump needs this attention, which is supposed to air this Sunday, by the way. There's a Biden interview and a Trump interview, both will air this Sunday, so we will see what actually happen. In the meantime though, the President rails against elites but there is no one more elite than the American president."
