President-elect Donald Trump sat down last week with 'Meet The Press' host Kristen Welker, and upon further review, Welker seemed 'suppressed,' either on her own or by edict.

Never mind that Trump continued spewing falsehoods; that's to be expected. That Welker rarely pushed back is of vital concern for journalistic integrity. This sit-down wasn't "Fox News-friendly" but it wasn't much tougher, either.

Take a listen to the first half of that conversation with me as I sprinkle in some fact-checks, some provided by CNN's Daniel Dale.
