Trump Campaign Manager Bashes Reporters Ahead Of First Debate

Kellyanne Conway, the campaign manager for Donald Trump, claimed that some embedded network producers following the GOP presidential nominee are overwhelmingly “negative” in their coverage. “Start looking at the Twitter feeds of ‘objective’ reporters, particularly our embeds,” Conway said. “These are not profiles in courage and this is not journalism. There are people who cover our campaign who actually just slander our candidate on Twitter.” Conway said she found 92 percent of the tweets posted by at least two embeds to be negative. “Why are they on our campaign plane?” she asked. “Why are they covering our campaign?”

Throughout the nearly 14-minute interview, Conway suggested the Trump campaign was the victim of media bias and said her biggest worry regarding the debate with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was “not being treated fairly afterward” by the press. “I’m worried some of the headlines are already written,” she added.
