Appearing on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports on Monday, NBC correspondent Katy Tur denounced Donald Trump’s campaign team for demanding fair treatment from the press ahead of the upcoming debate: “So what they’re trying to do is find a way to best game this system. And what you’re seeing on TV, all over the airwaves, is his campaign manager and his surrogates trying to blame the media before the media has even covered the debate.”

She continued: “They’re going to say that everybody in the press is going to be unfair, that Donald Trump is going up against a rigged system and this is why his message, his real message, his message of the economy, his message of job creation, isn't getting through.” Tur added: “The reality is, he's given very little detail on any of those matters and most of the time when he gets on the debate stage the majority of what he says is insulting his candidate next to him.”
