Bait and switch

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/cnn-trump-lied-to-anchors-about-immigration-to-get-positive-press-coverage-in-run-up-to-speech/

CNN’s White House correspondent Sara Murray said Wednesday that the White House pulled a “bait-and-switch” with anchors from the network at a meeting on Tuesday regarding the topic of immigration ...

“Basically they fed us things that they thought these anchors would like, that they thought would give them positive press coverage for the next few hours. A senior administration official admitted that it was a misdirection play. And you will note that when the president was actually out there speaking to the American public, he didn’t talk about a path to legal status,” she explained.
