NEW YORK — CNN's "Reliable Sources," a program that boasts a swath of journalists committed to "telling the story behind the story," featured former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather — with Rather cautioning against journalism lethargy in the wake of an election year upset.
Rather told the show's host, Brian Stelter, that the media must be "fiercely independent" in its coverage of Republican President-Elect Donald Trump.
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump may take a victory tour to states that elected him president, an aide said Saturday, as boisterous protests unfolded outside the tower where he holed up with members of his transition team and fielded calls congratulating him.
While he's announced one decision – putting Vice President-elect Mike Pence in charge of the transition instead of Chris Christie – Trump must identify other people for top White House jobs and Cabinet posts. The president-elect remained out of sight at Trump Tower, with streets outside swarming with thousands objecting to the results of Election Day.
