♪ notorious thanks to tall all of you f being part of my program this week. i'll see you next week. hello, i'm john avalon in for brian stelter. it's time for our look at the story behind the story. how the media really works and how the news gets made. this hour, trump attacks google over bias and threatens to bring in the feds. and how john mccain's legacy presses forward for freedom. and breitbart's founder is here for his first television interview. but first, while we're enjoying labor day weekend, the

president is obsessed with lashing out at the media. let's take a look at all the companies and individuals the president berated this past week with terms like fake reporting, fake news, fake books, fake dossier. it seems like everything in critical in the media is fake to president trump these days. should we really be surprised, given that trump said this back in july? >> don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. >> don't believe your lyin' eyes. these reports are because the news seems nowhere near favorable to him. a new poll shows 60% of americans disapproval of the job he's doing. headlines about "the national inquirier" has decades of dirt on him stored in a safe and he wanted to buy it back. and john mccain's funeral, which

he was reportedly not invited to as two former presidents eulogized the fallen senator in a symbol of bipartisanship. is trump's war on the media really just a war on the truth? errol lewis and april ryan, the author of the new book "under fire: reporting from the front lines of the trump white house." welcome, all. april, let's start with you. one of the targets of trump's attacks this week was his lester holt interview. it was a big interview in the wake of the comey firing. it caused a lot of problems when he said it was motivated by the russia investigation. why is the president singling this out? >> one, lester holt is a solid journalist, he's a solid nightly

news man. and he's got credibility. you have a president of the united states challenging someone with credibility when that president himself has a credibility issue. you have to remember this, john. everything that the president says right now is under a microscope. this president, according to my republican sources, understands that republicans could lose the house. so he is trying to throw or deflect off of himself and throw it on the media. he is making people realize or feel that this conspiracy theory that the news is fake is something that really reverberates in his base. they have to go back and re-explain what he meant to say. he realizes that he could indeed lose the house. the republicans could lose the house. >> so you believe it's basically politically inspired, a play to the base. >> politically inspired.

>> all right. >> yes. >> another target of the president's attacks this week was an attack on anonymous sources. there's more than a little bit of irony in this, given that trump has been a fabricated source himself for decade, going back to posing as "john barron" in his real estate days, even up to the oval office. you run a newsroom. is this a case of "i learned it from you, dad"? >> it's more than that. there's actually like a handy cheat sheet to the trump administration. the more they complain about anonymous sources, the more they complain about fake news, the more likely they are to be a leaker themselves. when president trump complains about anonymous sources, he's an anonymous source for people all the time. when kellyanne conway and those kind of folks complain about anonymous sources, well, let's just say that they all have a robust relationship with the media. >> robust, a lot hanging on that. let me bring in another one.

we have a fascinating example of the president of the united states elevating the issue of off the record versus on the record. big controversy in the last 36 hours, when "toronto star" reporter daniel dale used quotes that were off the record in a bloomberg interview about canada and trade and nafta. this raises interesting questions. what do you see, as head of a newsroom, the ethics of using off the record statements given to another source? >> sure. look, when you as a reporter go into an off the record agreement with someone, you are honor bound to stick to that agreement. however, if you're not party to that deal, you can't be bound by it in any way. while the bloomberg folks were very much bound to keep this off the record, daniel dale was in no way bound to stick to it. >> errol, does that line up with your understanding here? because dale also took great pains today to say his source was not the bloomberg reporters.

>> right. very interesting, because you really want to not get too cute with that, right? reporters know each other. you don't want to get into the habit of saying, i have an off-the-record agreement but my buddy listening in across the room was not part of the agreement and is going to take the information. you don't want to get into those kind of games. daniel dale, you have to take them at their word, if they were sourced, maybe they were tipped off but if they can confirm it elsewhere, it stands as a solid piece of reporting. >> and certainly big news in canada, where they take the trade agreement very seriously, and justin trudeau has weighed in on it. maggie haberman raises the possibility that trump himself put it out. april, does that ring true to you? >> yes. this president is keenly aware of what's going on and this president has his hands in the mix at this white house. anything that they do, he's very much aware of.

and he orchestrates, particularly as he is close to white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders, from what we're hearing. so this president definitely puts it out. then they come back and say, oh, oh, i didn't like that. it's all about the optics. if plays well, they'll embrace it. if it doesn't, they get upset and very mad and they'll retaliate. >> somehow things don't usually work that way. noah, ami and "the national inqui inqui inquirer" were in the news again with dirt that they kept on donald trump for decades and now we person that he wanted to buy it back. >> we saw some of this in the tape released with michael cohen and donald trump, what happens if david pecker is hit by a bus, how do we ensure those secrets stay safe. they looked to do a big buyback campaign. it was never executed on that

grand level, but they did try to buy back some smaller stories, and now people are in trouble for it. >> and the people at "the national inquirer" were relying on the fact that the president was in office. the president's attack on fake books is kind of a new one. bob woodward's book "fear" is being released on september 11th. the other side of the legendary duo, carl bernstein reported that michael cohen was prepared to testify that trump knew about the infamous trump tower meeting with the russians despite the president's strenuous denials. the story was called into controversy when cohen's lawyer lanny davis backtracked on the claims and outed himself as one of the sources of the story. why did he backtrack?

it could be to save his client from a perjury trap. yet we know from statements made by donny deutsch on msnbc that cohen seems to have been talking openly on these lines. here is what he had to say the day after cnn's reporting on "morning joe." >> what came out yesterday to me was not a surprise based on conversations that michael and i had. >> did he reference this meeting in particular? >> yes, he did. >> errol, this is a big story. how do you see it? >> yes. the most important part of all this is the underlying idea that somebody who is in a position to know, namely michael cohen, told his lawyer, lanny davis, and lanny davis sort of repeated this to the press, that the guy was talking openly about the president knowing in advance about this very important meeting. it has tremendous political implications, tremendous legal implications for a lot of people, not just the president. it's really, really important. so for lanny davis to then

backtrack later and say, you know what, i'm not 100% sure, maybe he didn't hear what he thought he heard, maybe he realized the legal interests of his client were different from what he was portraying it as. and maybe he was just deciding he wanted to get out of the story, in part because his client was sort of being pushed into a corner that may be at odds with what he has told the juch justice department. this kind of stuff happens all the time, there's a certain amount of ambiguity. the president says it's face, it strengthens his case that the press is unreliable, and telling his people, look, if you think it's complicated, that means it's false, which is the great danger. >> a fascinating and important point. i want to turn to the very real effects of trump's antimedia rhetoric. i want you to take a listen to this voicemail send to "new york times" reporter ken vogel. >> you are the enemy of the people. and although the pen might be

mightier than the sword, the pen is not mightier than the ak-47. >> and unfortunately that's not the only one. this past week, a california man was arrested and charged for making at least 14 threatening phone calls to "the boston globe," allegedly saying things like "we're going to shoot you f-ers in the head," and "you're the enemy of the people and we're going to kill every f-ing one of you," and, "i will continue to threaten, harass, and annoy the boston globe." up to 20 firearms and ammunition were removed from his home, two months after a crazed gunman killed five reporters and editors at "the capitol gazette" in maryland. when questioned about a free press, this is how chain

responded. >> reporter: do you have a problem with the free press in america? >> there is no free press in america. >> april, i want to come to you on this one. it's the subject of part of your book. the escalating threats against journalists. and people don't understand how real the threats can be and whether it's getting worse in your estimation. >> it's getting worse, john. there is collateral damage. it affects not only the reporter but the people around the reporter. you know, i'm going to say this, and i'm just going to put it as simply as i can. i blame the president for this. sarah huckabee sanders had a chance to pull back, saying we're not the enemy of the people. she didn't. she just talked about things personally that affected her and the president to include the fact that a comedian said some things about her. we didn't do that, the comedian did that. the president has had a chance. "the new york times" leaders or bosses came and talked to the

president about this. so many people talked to him, even his own daughter has said that the press is not the enemy. this president has to stop it. he's keenly aware of what's going on and what's happening. the death threats have got to stop. we are a part of the constitution. free and fair, independent press. the first amendment. not the second, not the third. the first. and a lot of people want to listen to this president who they say is a patriot but he's not standing by the oath of office to follow the constitution, the first amendment. not only that, some of these people making threats must have been asleep during government class or civics class, because we are a part of this country, the pillars of this country. and the problem is, if you don't like the reports, call the bosses. if you don't like the reports, make a noise on twitter. do what you have to do. but to try to kill someone for writing a story that you don't like because there is fact in the story, there's a problem.

and yes, i do write about it, and i write about the attacks on me and trying to disparage me and attack my credibility because they were fearful of some of the things that i knew that they were doing. and when i report, i speak the truth. and i have republican sources who are in the inner circle, who give up the information. i don't go through a file cabinet. i'm given the information. why? because they're whistle-blowers and this administration doesn't like it. >> april, noah, thank you very much. err errol, stick around. coming up, president trump attacks google for bias. >> yeah, i think google is really taking advantage of a lot of people. and i think that's a very serious thing and it's a very serious charge. >> this comes right before they're set to be in the hot seat before congress. that's if their ceo shows up. ♪ flintstones! meet the flintstones. ♪

giants, and i've made it clear that we as a country cannot tolerate political censorship, blacklisting, and rigged search results. >> now, all these companies dn that the -- companies deny that their platforms are biased. let me start with you, president trump tweeting early in the morning about biased search results, and it might appear he doesn't know how search works, many folks don't. but on the other hand, does he have a point that these platforms are so powerful, and they really are a black box? >> it goes to show, john, how much power these services have over our lives, people almost see them as utilities. they're really private companies that are free to do what they wish. there is a point, google does keep its algorithm secretive.

it's not quite clear how it works. they describe it in broader terms. when they're referencing people who claim that conservative news sites are somehow pushed down in the search results, they talk about how they push up search results that are highly cited, that have been around for a long time. these tend to be more well-known news organizations like cnn or nbc, "wall street journal" or "new york times" or something like that. if you define those outlets as left-leaning or liberal, that's how you come to the conclusion there's some sort of anti-conservative bias. but there is a conversation about how these companies are such a big impact on our lives and at what point does the government get involved? you can look at the history of telephone companies, railroad companies. you can see sort of a future possibly for some of these tech companies. >> trust-busting. i pulled that chapter out of our history books. oliver, i want to bring this to you now.

the president keeps warning social media giants he will take action over what he sees as their biased behavior. this administration has no details, though, about what the consequences could be. let's take a listen. >> we have literally thousands and thousands of complaints coming in. and you just can't do that. google and twitter and facebook, they're really treading on very, very troubled territory. and they have to be careful. it's not fair to large portions of the population. >> the president said this morning he's unhappy, separate topic, with google and search results, and he said there could be consequences coming google's way. does the president believe or does the administration feel there needs to be some form of regulation for google? what exactly was the president referring to? >> we're taking a look at it. >> there was perhaps a hint there that larry kudlow was humoring the president. what could the federal government do along these lines?

>> there's been a lot of talk this week about regulating tech platforms. it's unclear what they could do. there's a wide variety of tools at their disposal. i talked to steve bannon earlier this week, he was suggesting he wanted the government to seize google and facebook and twitter and put it in a public trust, where the people would opt in of whether or not to allow these governments to use their data. >> seize the private data? >> right. for republicans now to be advocating seizing data or regulating private companies is certainly not something i think anyone really anticipated, but this administration obviously and this white house and the times we live in are really quite crazy. i said earlier this week, it's like we're living in the upside down, i think we can agree on that. >> that's really through the looking glass. but i want to bring this to another google story that

deserves a little more attention. there are questions about a google search app project for china, which is known internally ast dragonfly. google left china eight years ago, citing, you know, totalitarian instincts on the part of the government. now "the times" reports 1,400 people have signed a letter protesting the development of dragonfly. does this violate their motto, "don't be evil"? what does it mean for the prospect of press freedom around the world? >> this is the intrinsic tension in a lot of these companies. they're there to make a profit, they want to be as big as possible. at the same time a lot of them have liberal values, when it comes to spreading democracy, getting people out to vote. but when they come up to the business reality, if you want to

enter china, which is obviously a huge market, there's a lot of money to be made there, you're going to have to play by their rules. on the other end of the spectrum, google and other tech platforms are dealing with this sort of thing in other countries as well. here, in europe, in germany, there are incredibly strict hate speech laws which call on platforms to remove what they have deemed hate speech within just a few hours or be find quite a substantial amount. in the united states we have the first amendment and free speech, but these tech companies are showing we don't have borders anymore when it comes to the internet, everything from online shopping to discussion, realizing there are borders when it comes to some of these new regulations, because a lot of countries are hungry to regulate these countries, at least rein them in a little bit, because they've been free-going now for decades. you're seeing some of that reaction from governments saying, you can't go on like this, we have to put some

controls on you. but now these companies have to contend with being different in the united states than in china. does that go along with their mantra of don't be evil? depending on what they do in china, that might be going against that. >> that's a fascinating concept in terms of mixed corporate metaphors, it's complicated, "don't be evil." oliver, this week ronan farrow's one-time produce at nbc resigned and lobbed new charges that the network tried to kill the harvey weinstein story. the producer, rich mchugh, called the behavior unethical. the network calls the accusation an outright lie. how do you see this playing out? >> i can't imagine the morale is good at nbc. we haven't heard from ronan farrow, for instance, on what happened at nbc. he has a book called "catch and kill" coming out that promises to detail a lot of what happened. in the meantime we're not seeing any media changes. i just checked in with a nbc

spoesh spokesperson and they're standing by their statement from thursday night where they said it was an outright lie, the idea that they ever tried to kill this harvey weinstein story. a lot to see, but nothing really new at the moment. >> the truth will out. oliver, hadas, thank you. coming up, sleeping giants founder's first television interview. when you're particular, you want things done right. that's why we test all of our paints and stains for months. or even years. we dedicate 175,000 square feet to getting it wrong... ...because you deserve paint that's done right. that's proudly particular. benjamin moore. the standard for paint professionals. only at local paint and hardware stores.

to take their ads off breitbart.com since late 2016. that is quite a feat, since up until july the group remained anonymous. that's when their founder was unmasked by the daily caller. adding insult to injury, the fascination with breitbart.com is apparently fading. they've seen a steady decline of visitors and views since december of 2017. joining me now is the man behind the community that went after breitbart, the founder of sleeping giants, who joins me for his first television interview. matt, it's great to have you. tell me what the catalyst was to make you go after breitbart and why you targeted programmatic advertising. >> well, it was right before -- right after the 2016 election. i was pretty disgusted with the tenor of the rhetoric coming out, just everywhere in the news. it seemed very racist to me and bigoted. just everything was seeming

really inflammatory. obviously steve bannon was very much on the scene and breitbart was in the news a lot. i actually hadn't heard of breitbart before. i went to the site and was pretty shocked to find a black crimes section. >> and you're looking at some of those headlines right now on the screen. >> yes. so those headlines really got to me. i'm in advertising, i'm in the advertising business. so i was just really curious as to who was supporting this from an ad perspective. and just going on the site, i saw, you know, one was a company from san francisco, that felt pretty weird to me. i started this anonymous twitter handle, and i just set it up and just tweeted at the company, because i knew that companies generally have someone on the twitter handle. they got back to me within a half hour saying they had no idea they were there. so that obviously went from, you know, being just a few

advertisers to being who knows how many, because it was being placed programmatically. >> that's the key thing folks might not understand, is that there's a profit motive to hyperpartisan news, and even fake news and hate news, which is the programmatic ad dollars that flow through. the advertisers don't know they're actually floating these sites. >> right. >> that's how you started calling this out, which is fascinating. over 4,000 have taken down their ads. how many have you had to alert again that their ads are back up, and who specifically said no, we're good with that, we want to stay where we are, we knew it and we're happy with it? >> there really haven't been that many of those. i mean, i can count them on one hand. i think most of them get back right away and they're actually really happy we let them know. unfortunately a lot of the ad serving companies, primarily google and facebook, are not letting them know they'll end up there. so breitbart, despite breaking their terms of service for ads,

they continue to get their clients served there, their customers served there every day. so we've had to let them know. but they're still on the ad network. that's problematic for a lot of advertisers. >> so you have awakened a sleeping giant. obviously that was your intention. but how do you stop a slippery slope of soft power that ends up being a form of censorship where activist communities on the right and left simply harass sites they don't like? >> we've tried to keep things really polite. we've let advertisers know in a polite way. we don't feel like we're forcing them to do anything. they react, and again, they thank us for letting them know. it is a slippery slope. social media is a little bit of a slippery slope. they need to really determine what their terms of service are and then they need to enforce them equally across the board. and so that's been, you know, our biggest beef lately, is that they're not being consistent.

i think everyone is having a problem with that. so, you know, that would go a long way for us all to know what the rules are and how to follow them. >> right now you're playing basically a game of whack-a-mole. you see an ad, you alert the folks, action is taken. what do you envision as a more sustainable solution? and whitelisting sites, blacklisting advertisers that companies don't want to support? what is the sustainable solution for this problem you're trying to fix? >> i think the ad companies, the ad networks really need to be responsible about where they're placing their ads, because a lot of these customers don't know they're going to end up where they end up. if you're at a big company like a p&g, you've got an entire staff dedicated to this, or a media company. but a lot of ads ending up there are smaller companies that can't afford that. they're the ones that end up

paying a reputational price. they need to lean on these ad companies to be responsible about why they're placing their ads. if they're going to end up on a racist article, that's not good for anybody. and they need to take responsibility for that. >> now, wading into the arena today brings its cost. since you've been outed, i understand your family has received threats. tell me about sort of the price of this work you're doing right now on a personal level. >> yeah, i mean, after my name was exposed, we -- you know, we did get a lot of harassment. and it was unfortunate that it happened. they published our address and my kids' names and all that stuff. that's obviously terrible. but at the same time, it's really growing the movement. people really feel like they've got ownership of this thing, and they really see that there's an

issue. it's not goods f s fofor the co when we're denigrating whole groups of people. i think people understand that and they want to be a part of that. so we've grown 30% since all that happened. so while it's kind of -- you know, it was unfortunate that my name has been plastered all over everything, we've got a big group of people participating in this, and they're into it. it's a crowdsource initiative. it's not just really about me at all but it's about the whole effort. >> matt, thank you for coming on for your first televised interview on "reliable sources." next up, three pulitzer prizes wasn't enough to save "the village voice." we'll discuss how the disappearance of local news is distorting our democracy.

welcome back. i'm john avlon. more sad news for supporters of local news. "the village voice" announced friday it is shutting down. the award winning alternative weekly was america's first, founded by norman mailer back in 1955. it launched the careers of numerous journalists, writers, cartoonists. legendary bilines from nat hentoff and many others. the paper suffered from declining revenue from classifieds and ads, a rerevolvirevolving door of editors, finally going

online-only last year, and now it's done. it's a trend that's leaving more and more communities without a local voice. local issues go uncovered and often local politicians go unchallenged. the pew research center says that daily newspaper circulation in this country fell 39% between 2007 and 2017 and the number of newspaper journalists was cut nearly in half. this is a sobering stat, there are now five public relations jobs in the united states for every one journalist. joining me now, errol louis is back, and mike daley, senior columnist at the daily beast. new owners came in, presumably with the best of intentions. but this process we've seen with all alt weeklies and local papers, a commoditization, a cutting of key editorial staff that removes differentiation, that spelled its doom. mike, you worked at "the voice"

in its heyday when it was a local and national gem, in some ways. >> it was. if you're a young person, you go in there, and, you know, there's jack neufield, wayne barrett, jules pfeiffer. there's people who really are who they are. by being around people who really are who they you, you learn how to be who you are. i really mean that. if you say, what makes wayne barrett wayne barrett, and you see it's hard work, it's faith, it's being a bit of a pain in the -- and you learn all these elements and you start recognizing things in yourself. and the great thing about a place like "the voice" is you don't try to copy people. you learn how to be yourself. >> when it came out on wednesdays, it was an event. i got my first apartment from classifieds in "the village

voice." >> the city basically stopped on tuesday night, waiting to see what was going to break in the news. and you could learn this from a distance. i sat in college and waited every wednesday to see the latest edition and i wanted to be a part of it. it was a great honor later on getting to work with barrett and neufield and tom robbins and really get into it. >> you would hear these voices, and it was great, it really was. for it not to be here, for the city of new york, for the center of the civilized world, not to be able to support that is just insane. >> it was a unique countercultural place that really did politics and pop culture like none other, and it will be missed. you mentioned new york, it would be the 11th largest state. "the daily news" has cut its staff in half. "the voice" has shut down. if new york city can't support local papers, what does that say about the rest of the country?

is there a model that can work? >> there are models that are out there. there are a lot of nonprofit models out there. some of them are specialty websites. the marshall project, pro publica, now doing big investigative stories. "the texas tribune," they're having their texas tribune festival later this month. everybody should get to austin if they have a little bit of time. >> always time to go to austin. >> it takes a clear recognition that you can't on a for-profit business model sustain the kind of deep investigative reporting as well as the beat reporting, the pretty unexceptional stuff where you're sitting there watching a city council meeting, watching the county commission meet, making sure you're telling a consistent story and keeping eyes on people in power. that's what "the texas tribune" does. they do it on a nonprofit model, they take contributions, and they're doing an excellent job.

>> that's what keeps democracy running. >> you see a big story break, kids being separated from their families at the border, and "the brownsville herald" says they've been doing this and this and you see all the stories that have been covered all along by them. great papers are struggling along. if you happen to live down there, support them. >> you have to support your local papers because when those local papers die, it increasing the polarization of our country, it becomes easier to treat journalists as something other, rather than part of the community. >> they say support your local sheriff. support your local paper. >> now more than ever, while the economics catch up with the eyeballs. >> we've got some models as far as public radio, people are in the habit of giving money in order to support it. i would recommend everybody take a look at "the texas tribune." we're looking at whether they can apply that in new york city. they're not ready to announce anything yet but that's good

that's why he championed a free and independent press as vital to our democratic debate. and the fact it earned him some good coverage didn't hurt either. >> it sent a message that they were not forgotten, that the free world was still watching. and so we'd like to carry that spirit forward as we end our show today by acknowledging just a few of the journalists around the world who still languish in prison. like the two journalist reporters who are in myanmar, and the verdict in their trial comes down tomorrow. mamood is also an egyptian photo journalist who's been detained since 2013. he's accused of a broad range of crimes and is facing the death penalty as part of a mass trial.

a verdict due on his case september 8th. a ukrainian require and filmmaker who's on a more than 100 day hunger strike while being held in siberia on charges of terrorism. who is arrest on charges of quote, illegally providing state secrets to foreign entities has inspired protest marches in hong kong. and in jail for almost three years because of ties alleged to a golan movement. these journalists are not forgotten, and as john mccain always reminded us, freedom is worth fighting for. that's all for us today. brian will be back next week. before we go, quick programming note. discover the inspiring life and career of justice ruth bader ginsberg.

here's a quick peak. >> i'm proud to nominate this path breaking attorney, advocate and judge to be the 107th justice to the united states supreme court. >> we may be in trying times but think how it was in those days. the judges didn't think sex discrimination existed. >> ruth knew what she was doing. >> to put women on the same plane as men. >> the goal was equalitiy and civil rights. >> ruth bader ginsberg quite literally changed the world was for american women. >> she's become such a rock star. >> she is really the closest thing to a super hero i know. >> she's known the world over as the notorious rbg.
