but no leader has taken to such platforms like mr. trump. last week, during a post- election review at harvard, mr. trump's former campaign manager, corey lewandowski, spoke about how the president- elect sees the press: >> donald trump understands the media and he understands the american electorate and he understands how to drive a message. however, donald trump also has the ability to bypass the mainstream media by going directly to social media. >> sreenivasan: the president- elect did hold an off-the-record meeting with television anchors and executives last month, and on-the-record conversations with "the new york times" and "wall street journal," but he has also repeatedly traveled without notifying the press pool assigned to cover him. that's led reporters to voice concerns about a lack of access. mr. trump is, however, expected to hold his first press conference as president-elect next thursday. we take a broader look at the president-elect's unprecedented relationship with the press and unique communication style, with micheline ma

[applause] mr. trump: yes or no? i could give you a beautiful, rhetorical, flowing speech, and we could fall asleep together. or we can discuss this. i am really here because i promised you during that while had in august, a long time ago, seems like a long time ago. a lot of things came out of that day. it opened up the eyes of the media. even though the media that dislikes us all. it opened up their eyes. and it began to a certain extent, june 16. i remember comi

i mean mr. trump is going to take a lot of calls. >> right. no, the problem is that a lot of our china policy is predicated on a complete lie. this lie that taiwan is a part of china, that the president of taiwan isn't the president of taiwan. there are other lies that sort of stem from this, that trade, for example, is going to improve the behavior of china when we know the opposite. in the last decade, china has gotten worse toward its own people and has robbed us blind, stealing jobs from the united states and stealing intellectual property left and right. >> so this woman, who is a president, i want to point out, just because we can, she was elected, right? >> that's right. >> she's a sitting leader of another country. >> right, exactly. and the first woman elected in asia who is not related or married or the daughter of a previous president. really a watershed for taiwan. also the third time taiwan has had a change in parties in peaceful democratic elections, and proof that chinese, ethnic chinese everywhere are, you know, qualified for d

mr. trump praising mr. tillerson as a world class deal maker but did say he will be the nation's next top diplomat. >> have you settled on a secretary of state? is. >> i'm getting very, very close. >> do you know who it's going to be? >> i just -- i have someone in mind i think will be really fabulous. i think we're going to have one of the great cabinets ever put together. >> so is that someone tillerson? brian is reporting outside live of trump tower. brian what more do we know about the businessman rex tillerson? >> reporter: rex tillerson, 64-year-old ceo of exxon mobile is the only company he worked for and he had brokered deals and met with many world leaders in over 50 countries where the company operates. this is something mr. trump is hugely impressed with and also hugely impressed with his first meeting with him on tuesday and they also met for a second time this week on saturday. mr. trump says the exxon mobile chairman is a world class player and deal-maker and despite all this, he says people a

mr. trump says the price tag is, quote, ridiculous. he tweeted, boeing is building a brand-new 747 air force one, cancel order! john gillham has worked at boeing for 30 years. >> the way he is talking about bringing back jobs, now he is taking them away. that's being a little two-faced. >> mr. trump's tweet came just 22 minutes after the "chicago tribune" posted an article highlighting the differences between mr. trump's position on trade with china and that of boeing's ceo. >>> there is still no clear that killed 36 people, but investigators are looking at whether a refrigerator or another appliance may have been involved. they do not believe the fire was deliberately set, though. a local state of emergency has been declared so the city can collect state and federal funds to cover the cost of the fire. danielle nottingham has more. >> reporter: crews have now searched most of the warehouse that was the site of a deadly fire on photographer. workers knock down unstable material on top of the roof line. to assure victims' families that

trump had worked as a quote, high-end escort. mrs. trump is also suing the british tabloid "daily mail" for their quote of her very racy past. "daily mail" says they never intended that their statement was true. cbs news justice correspondent paula reed. >> melania trump has the resources to carry on a long legal fight. even if she doesn't win this could serve as a deterrent for other smaller news outlets that don't have the same resources to defend themselves. >> reporter: both "the daily mail" and tarpley.net retracted their stories. tarpley put out a story saying trump's lawsuit is a lawsuit without merit. charles harder, the hollywood lawyer who helped hulk hogan win a massive lawsuit that essentially put the gossip website gawker out of business is also representing mrs. trump. he says the statements about her were 100% false and tremendously damaging. the case is heading to trial in montgomery county, maryland, just outside of washington. the next few months, mrs. trump is planning not to move into the white house, but to stay h

nothing from mr. trump. you know, i think that what he's doing is indicating that he's going to have a very different relationship with us. and we can't pretend that it's going to be business as usual because it's not. >> and basically it would be the same. let me play you a sound bite from her and get your reaction. >> this will be a traditional white house in the sense that you will have a great deal of press availability on a daily basis and a president at that continues to be engaged with the press. >> well, there it is trampt additional white house, do you buy that? we never had a tweeter-in-chief before. >> no. exactly. of course i don't buy that. everything about this administration, everything about mr. trump is unusual, is different. that's why people elected him or at least a lot of people. so i don't think we can possibly think that the man who calls us sleaze bags will want to embrace us. he's not going to have a choice, eric. whether or not he meets with us, we are going to continue covering him

mr. trump is the president. where there is common ground, we are certainly not going to oppose him on issues just for the sake of doing so. but we are concerned about though is that there's is very little precious common ground. if the people he has appointed to lead important agencies, such as the department justice with people he has indicated he will nominate, are going to roll back policies, initiatives that are critical issues in voting, issues in policing, issues related to poverty, i think and all those kinds of issues the civil rights community will stand united against those policies. >> i think no more need be said by me. >> let me just say something. you know, it's an important question. we are trying to do our job. our job is to represent these constituencies. our job is to promote the civil rights and interests of these constituencies. when we feel that is being threatened, we need to call it out. i want to make it really clear. we are also reaching out. we are asking president-elect trump to hear u

it's demanding that trump prove that mr. trump did not collaborate with russia during the campaign. is that also info you might welcome? >> well, i wouldn't welcome it. i hadn't heard that news. i'm not sure i'm ready to take that step where mr. trump was involved with russia. i'm simply concerned russia was involved with our election when they shouldn't be. i'm not prepared to make accusations against another u.s. citizen without further evidence. the director of national intelligence can provide us whatever declassified facts he has and we can look at them and go from there. >> do you believe that russia tilted the election towards trump? >> well, i guess that's really the question, isn't it? we don't know. that's why i'm looking for a fact-based intelligence agency. when the report came out i was disappointed that mr. trump's first reaction was to defend russia instead of the cia and fact-based intelligence gathering like i would think any american president would. >> what would you say, mr. trump says this whole thing with russia has become politicized. it's just a push to deleg

[cheers and applause] mr. trump: thank you. >> trump! trump! trump!

[cheers and applause] mr. trump: we could not land at your local airport. we landed a long ways away. the drive was about three times longer than the flight. but we made it. that's all that matters, right?

yes, mr trump's press advisers? yes, mr trump is mac transition team have been left with the task of translating that remarkable tweet. they say what he meant to say was it is important to prevent nuclear proliferation, especially regarding terrorist organisations and rogue states. the transition team also pointed out that mr trump has been emphasising the need to modernise america's deterrent capability. that is the note on his website. if that is the note on his website. if that is what he is saying with this tweet thenit is what he is saying with this tweet then it seems as if he would be supporting president obama's current policy which is to modernise america's ageing arsenal, but if thatis america's ageing arsenal, but if that is what he was trying to say, he did so in a way that caused quite a lot of surprise and alarm. there isa a lot of surprise and alarm. there is a difference between modernising and expanding and it is the word x band which drew a lot of attention? that is right. —— the word expand. p

trump and a union leader who criticized mr. trump's claim to have saved 1,100 jobs in indiana. roxana saberi is here in new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the union leader called mr. trump's deal to save jobs at the carrier plant in indiana a promise halfway delivered. soon after that, the president-elect lashed out on twitter. the latest dustup came after indiana's united steelworkers union president chuck jones appeared on cnn, blasting president-elect donald trump for overstating the number of jobs that would be saved as part of the carrier deal. >> we have a lot of our members when the word was coming out of 1,100, they thought that they would have a job. then they find out the next day after friday, that most likely they weren't. 550 were still going to lose their jobs. >> reporter: moments later, mr. trump fired back on twitter writing, in part, chuck jones has done a terrible job representing workers. no wonder companies flee the country. just last week, the president-elect visited the indianapolis-based plant to tout the deal to keep 800 jobs in the u.s.

so mr. trump has a choice. he can go from company to company, thousands of them, and sort of beat all of them into submission and threaten them with tariffs, or focus -- and i think this is what he's going to do -- on mac kroeconomic policy, like cutting tax. >> but 's tariffs and punitive tax. in fact, we should say he's on a twitter storm this morning. he's talking about that. >> if you're going to talk about the long-term economy and how you keep businesses here, i think there's a real risk that if you start doing that and saying that people aren't going to build their businesses in the united states in the first place because they'll be too worried what about they have to do if they want to leave. so this is just -- this is something governors do. the president of the united states has got more resources to >> i want to play another clip from mr. trump's speech at that cincinnati rally on thursday night. here it is. >> the era of economic surrender is over. we're going to fight for every last american job.
