about the president of the united states we do what point does it get to the point would it be defamation, slander? >> this is nasty on both sides but from a legal perspective first amendment protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press and that includes speech that is critical of the president. that can include stories that are not necessarily true and contain mistakes and errors but when you get into deliberate false reporting you have issues of defamation. people say why doesn't donald trump go after every news outlet for every bad news story that hurt his reputation? here's the thorny part. he is a public figure. he would need to show actual malice. what does that mean? he would need to prove these news outlets new these stories were fake, showed a reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of that and that is not an easy thing to prove because every news station will say we thought it was true. rob: the cnn retraction that

linked anthony scaramucci to this russian bank got pulled back, that was a big one but can you prove they knew it was true and did it to hurt him? i don't know that anybody thinks they do believe that, they were just careless. the new york times, all 17 intelligence agencies agreed the russians hacked the election to help trump win, only four did, 13 of them didn't believe that. another huge retraction but again proving that to be a legal problem is a high bar. >> a separate issue. you can have issues whether they are allowed to purport these stories and whether or not news outlets have their own internal mechanisms before they put out stories or report on information to make sure it is accurate or not. they did not file proper protocols for accuracy and collaborated stories but in terms of a legal line you have issues showing things like defamation.

rob: if you want to go after a media outlet, easier would be for threats because cnn makes such a big deal about the president postings that videos of looks like him wrestling and beating up a cnn reporter over the weekend but you had a cnn contract employee and kathy griffin who did their new year's eve show holding the president's buddy head in her hands. isn't that a direct threat? even madonna said i think about blowing up the white house, isn't that a direct threat? >> same thing with johnny depp. what is a reasonable person going to think? will they see that is a perceived threat? somebody's opinion is in bad taste wasn't funny and doing that and so many threats against the president which is terrible to say but celebrities have a platform to be able to do that, no one would look at that and think it was an actual threat. rob: we will be right back. vaca.
