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. ⁠
