From the March 1 edition of CNN's Inside Politics:

SARA MURRAY: Let's just change gears entirely and talk about the bait and switch that the president pulled when it came to immigration yesterday. He had this meeting with the anchors, he talked about a path to legal status. Basically they fed up things that they thought these anchors would like, that they thought would give them positive press coverage for the next few hours. A senior administration official admitted that it was a misdirection play. And you will note that when the president was actually out there speaking to the American public, he didn't talk about a path to legal status. He talk about reforming the legal immigration system so it's merit-based. That means fewer low-skilled workers, fewer people coming on family ties, more people coming on high-skilled visas. That is still closer to a Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon framework of the world than Gang of Eight, who pushed comprehensive immigration reform.
JOHN KING (HOST): Interesting twist, although it does make you wonder, so we're not supposed to believe what the senior-most official at the lunch says, who then they allowed it to be the president's name says, we're not supposed to believe what they say, maybe we shouldn't believe what they say.
