@markknoller could you please explain exactly what OTR means. -
in this context it means off-the-record. Reporters honor-bound not report what they get.
-
why would a reporter take a meeting they cannot report on? Sounds unethical.
-
Some reporters feel the same way though off the record sessions provide insight into a source's thinking & views.
-
how do "journalists" square this when they are provided with insider info in exchange f/ favorable reporting.
-
There's no such quid pro quo when the Pres talks off-the-record to press pool on Air Force One.
-
no just picking on the situation with POTUS but I fail to see how any press can embrace OTR while official biz
-
The alternative is for the press pool to decline an off-the-record conversation. Some believe they should.

But isn't that false equivalency? Trump not hanging w the pool like Obama seems to be. Is this common for new prez?

Off-the-record sessions have always happened. They are normal. But Trump is not. So it's worrisome.
