quick round and round. up. hello richard gere's burton you're at the listening post this coming tuesday november sixth americans will be voting in midterm elections which will be seen as a referendum on the trump presidency so it's fitting that one of the major issues before voters is the institution president trump cannot stop talking about the news media consider the stories monopolizing the us airwaves recently the coverage of that migrant caravan from central america the pipe bomb sent to c.n.n. amongst others and the president's incessant tweets all developments with significant media aspects to them this week we're breaking format focusing on the u.s. in the second half of the program we examine a christian broadcasting network that somehow backs a president who is nobody's idea of a saint we'll also talk to jay rosen an academic who's been studying the u.s.

media for more than thirty years one of the most authoritative media critics out there will discuss donald trump's attacks on the mainstream media why it is that they work how c.n.n. became a hate object and the larger crisis of credibility that american journalism faces today but first a look at some of the stories that have made headlines and produced. sound bites as election day approaches. the latest now on that migrant caravan aspirants now with the midterm elections approaching and the political stakes rising as the new lows just keep on coming a caravan of migrants on route from honduras in search of a better life but on rightwing outlets like fox news it was something more sinister a looming invasion traced the caravan he's fact heavily male and highly dangerous and the president went even further say happens all the time from the middle east that's not even saying bad or good but some real bad ones but you know they intercepted or they could very well be. there's no proof of anything there's no

proof of anything election or attack yesterday last weekend in pittsburgh a gunman opened fire inside a synagogue killing eleven worships his social media movements were traced to gas a platform popular with the ultra right that features a particularly nasty brand of anti semitism. and there were the pipe bombs mailed to various truck critics including the channel that is his bet more the one he loves to hate c.n.n. all of the perpetrators were trump supporters however the president accepted none of the blame for his rhetoric let alone their actions putting it instead on the media to set a more civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories accusing c.n.n. and the opposition democratic party of exploiting the attacks ahead of voting while

trump supporters like blue dogs who hosts a show on fox business suggested the bomb scares including the ones against his journalistic colleagues at c.n.n. have been fabricated as the president doubles and triples in quadruples down america's media eco system now resembles a battlefield of their chairs and it rationing the french south of our border words are the weapons you. want to share conspiracies and hyperbole are the currency somebody is going to get hurt or so at that border and the false flags are flying. jay rosen thanks for joining us in the listening post today why don't we start with this question how has donald trump two years into his presidency turned the media into such a useful enemy perhaps the most useful political enemy of them all well let's start

with some basic facts about donald trump as president of the united states one is he doesn't know anything about the issues that he must deal with he isn't good at the job nothing he says can be trusted and when you have a president like that what's going to happen they see generates a lot of bad news for him self and he has managed to convince his supporters that this happens because the news media hates him as the far left media once again. judy just so. and he's gone one step further to say to them when they criticize me it's because they hate you and so he's not only turned the press into a hate object but he's made it the foundation of his support when trump was elected you used a seasonal metaphor to describe political journalism in the us you talked about the establishment media having entered winter what did you mean by that how did

political journalism fail its public describe the disconnect well i meant first of all that about a third of the country had exited from the press system meaning that.
