Instead of directly agreeing, O&#8217;Donnell avoided giving Trump credit, responding evasively and focusing on how she commutes to work.<\/p>\n<p>Trump pressed her further, insisting that crime had decreased dramatically and that residents now feel much safer walking around the city. O&#8217;Donnell continued to deflect, attributing her lack of direct response to being overworked. The article criticizes O&#8217;Donnell and CBS News for not acknowledging Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyc-mayor-talks-faith-in-governance-public-safety\/\" title=\"NYC Mayor Talks Faith in Governance, Public Safety\">crime reduction efforts<\/a>, suggesting that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lisa-selin-davis-liberal-media-refuses-to-tell-full-truth-about-transgender-kids\/\" title=\"Lisa Selin Davis: Liberal Media Refuses to Tell Full Truth About Transgender Kids\">liberal media refuses<\/a> to give him any credit.<\/p>\n<p>Brent Baker from the Media research Center commented that while this interview was less antagonistic than previous ones, O&#8217;Donnell still could not be seen praising Trump, reflecting persistent media bias. The article rates the media response as lukewarm, giving it &#8220;three out of five screams.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Norah O&rsquo;Donnell just can&rsquo;t give Trump any credit: Liberal Media Scream<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2391253\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>It was a simple question from President Donald Trump to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3872364\/trump-calls-to-end-filibuster-reach-fever-pitch\/\">CBS <em>60 Minutes<\/em><\/a>  interviewer Norah O&rsquo;Donnell.
