White House Press Access at the Center of Trump-Media Clash

How often does a TODAY upload take off like this? Almost never. "White House Press Access at the Center of Trump-Media Clash" went up on Sunday, and its first day came in at more than two hundred times what a new video on the channel usually manages.

Most TODAY clips open with a few thousand views and settle into the back catalog. This one was already past half a million within a day. Its daily pace nearly matches the whole channel's, which spreads its views across years of interviews, cooking segments and news pieces.

The title leaves no doubt about the subject. It is a story about how the press reaches the White House, and it is being told by one of the oldest news programs on American television. TODAY has been on NBC's morning schedule since 1952.
