Is "Meet the Press" a Radio Show?

Speaking of Donald Trump & Chuck Todd, is "Meet the Press" now a radio show? Donald Trump is the only interviewee consistently permitted to be interviewed over the phone. Ben Carson was on screen today from Jordan. Trump, from God knows where, phoned it in. Any interviewer knows that demeanor is an essential part of an interview. If Trump had been permitted to give his South Carolina speech by phone, we'd never have seen his outrageous mocking of Serge Kovaleski. Someone needs to refuse to interview him by phone!
