NBC Nightly News will be anchored tonight from Trump Tower, where Lestor Holt will interview Donald Trump, in the latest example of how the television news media has bent over backwards to accommodate the presumptive GOP nominee. It’s unclear why NBC News would go to Trump’s office instead of demanding that he travel the half-mile south to their studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Trump Tower is literally 6 blocks away from 30 Rock. Trump making Holt come to him to prove a point. https://t.co/fN6YJE5j7d

If you believe TV news bolstered Trump, here's fodder: Lester Holt will anchor NBC Nightly News from Trump Tower shortly.

Cable and broadcast news programs have frequently allowed Trump unprecedented opportunities to regularly call in to their programs, rather than appearing in person or by satellite -- a practice that has drawn criticism from media critics and prominent journalists.
