STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Newt, yesterday with the Super Bowl, an American tradition came to an end. President [Donald] Trump decided not to sit down with NBC for the big halftime live interview. He said, “Nope, not going to do it.” What do you think of that? 

NEWT GINGRICH: Good. 

DOOCY: Why? 

GINGRICH: Well, because NBC, look -- I find Meet the Press now unreal. I can't watch it anymore. It's so biased. And there's no reason the president should subject himself to going through this charade as though being interviewed by the enemy is a neutral event. The elite media is totally the offensive wing of the left. They have no -- nothing left of the idea of being a neutral news media. And I don't think that he should dignify them by pretending that they're OK. They're not OK. They're terribly biased, and they're very often factually false. 

DOOCY: Well, apparently he agreed with you.
