It's far better to go to the source material rather than a third party view of it.

Pure deflection (also known as the 'butwhatabout' question) - you know, like 7 year olds do in the school playground, when asked by the teacher why they threw a stone through a window.
"
butwhatabout jimmy, who was playing with the girls' skipping ropes".
The reporter asked Trump about something Trump personally had done, and Trump evaded answering by asking the reporter about something someone else, not the reporter, had done - how could the reporter answer on behalf of the Democratic Party?
btw, in the last two presidential elections, CBS donated more to the Republicans than to the Democrats...
