NBC News reported that President Trump "antagonized" Senator Jeff Flake by name during his Phoenix rally, but the transcript shows Trump intentionally avoided mentioning Flake or John McCain by name. While Trump's comments were clearly directed at the Arizona senators, the hosts criticize NBC for fictionalizing the event by claiming he spoke the names directly. They argue this lack of context contributes to the media's poor reputation.
