<div>Before President Trump&#8217;s big speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, he had lunch with some select reporters and TV news anchors.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the session, Trump seemed to say he was softening on his hard-line anti-immigration stance (if you can believe the MSM). Reports hit the internet and the airwaves shortly after, with various news agencies saying Trump would take a moderate tack, that he would was even willing to cave and endorse giving amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The reports sourced a &#8220;senior administration official,&#8221; but some news orgs said the info came directly from the president (former President Bill Clinton was big on this move: He&#8217;d drop back into the press cabin on Air Force One, toss out some news nuggets and then say, &#8220;Oh, just call me a &#8216;senior administration official&#8217; &#8220;).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now, though, CNN, home of what Trump calls &#8220;very fake news,&#8221; says &#8220;a senior administration official admitting that the White House intentionally misled reporters ahead of President Donald Trump&#8216;s congressional address in order to get generate positive press coverage as part of a &#8216;misdirection play,&#8217; &#8221; Mediate reported.</div>
<div> </div>
<blockquote>
<div>But when it was time for Trump to actually give the speech, he said nothing of the sort. CNN&#8217;s Sara Murray complained the next day about &#8220;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.&#8221;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>&#8220;Basically they fed [them] 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,&#8221; she reported.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Host John King wondered why reporters should even trust the White House going forward. &#8220;It does make you wonder; so we&#8217;re not supposed to believe what the senior-most official at the lunch says &#8212; who then they allowed it to be the president&#8217;s name says &#8212; we&#8217;re not supposed to believe what they say?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Maybe we shouldn&#8217;t believe what they say.&#8221;</div>
</blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>Well, if CNN says it, it&#8217;s gotta&#8217; be true!</div>
