secretary sean spicer gaa briefd access to so members of t last night a presidential press secretary sean spicer gave a briefing where he denied access to some members of the national press. during his campaign president donald trump often banned some members of the, quote, failing media as well. but in december spicer said when it can comes to governing, the

press has an important role until government. he said that's what makes a democracy a democracy. larry gerston joins us now. larry on friday reporters from many media outlets, cnn, the l.a. times, new york times, politico to name a few all banned from this imprompt you too briefing. will this become a trend and how usual was this for any president in history? >> it's hard to tell given that we're in the moment. but we do know this, long-standing members of the press say it's the first time in memory that a press secretary has shut out so many reporters from at least eight major organizations, so many on a selective basis. still, it fits the trump administration pattern. consider the first month of office of the president, just what he did. he attacked so-called federal judges for stripping his temporary ban of immigrants from seven predom nait nantly 7

muslim countries, he condemned the nonpartisan intelligence agencies for giving him biased information rather than the truth and if we go farther than that during his campaign he claimed that he knew more about isis islamic states than the generals. and let's remember just last week president trump said, quote, the enemy of the american people. so many have viewed these attacks as attempts to intimidate other legitimate centers of power, others have kouptdered that the president only seeks to be heard through a bully pull pet used by all president. spicer selected the denial of the washington reporters to a briefing say first. >>the press is sometimes called the fourth branch of government or the fourth estate. that means it has the response ability of operating independently of holding the powerful accountable and really to everybody is the public, often it's also a vehicle as we've seen in the investigative unit for folks in the government, sources in government to blow the whistle

on what they see is wrongdoing. >> this is the critical thing that people don't always appreciate. we just take it for granted. the press in fact digs out information. that as we've said elected officials of government don't know or in some cases they don't want people to know. if in m cases take a look the information comes from leaks from government officials. consider some of the bomb shells, the bomb shells uncovered by the press. in 1972, watergate an expo say about presidential crimes that were so severe it led to the resignation of president richard nixon. in 2003 a published article disclosing that iraq did not have nuclear weapon, was not about to attack the united states, and was not home to terrorists all claims erroneously made by president george w. bush and his reasons for going to war. and then in 2014 during the obama administration, bipartisan here, a series of public reports

showing why'd spread mistreatment of the veterans by the veterans administration. and nought president hahn been writing daily about questionable ties between people in trump's inner circle and russian leaders. so without the press pursuing these activities, we may not have known about any of them. >> so political leaders are often frequently attacking the press and, as you said, bipartisan, the president barack obama was not happy with the media at times and nortor ously private in some ways as well. it's certainly important as well for the press to earn the trust with the people. give us a sense of how the press's integ grittily really stacks up when compared with other institutions, the ones that be we're investigate. >> that's a fair question. we've got some answers. take a look at the polls by respected polling entities, and that's important. after the past few weeks about public approval of key institutions as well as the press. well, you can see what happens

here. the press comes out very, very well. why? president trump 37%. congress 22%. the supreme court 45%. and the press were 52%. that's the big difference. so you look at this all and it turns out that the public has more faith in the press than any of the institutions of government, including president trump. >> okay. so when we talk about the future of the free press in washington, it's probably anybody's guess at that point? >> yeah. we just don't flow. we just don't know if the president is able to keep the media at bay. well, it may shore up his power and give him the ability to get things done especially in the short run. but there may be a price to pay. if the media is defind that the ability to search out the truth on key issues the day. it's a hot topic people all over the place are talking about whether the press should or should not have access. but i'll tell you something, until this gets resolved a lot of people are going to be wondering about what happens is

what you've said is the fourth estate. >> as always we appreciate your time and insight. always a good time to be in journalism doing what we do. thanks so much and stay with us. we'll be right back.

but i do want to remind folks that there is still a beach hazard that will remain in effect until 3:00 tonight. and what that means is there is a possibility of seeing some sneaker waves along the coast that could catch you off guard if you decide to get on the water. so i would hold off on getting in the water but a nice walk along the beach would be okay. right now if you're waking up, 39 degrees in the south bay, nice clear skies. peninsula 48. try valley 46 degrees. san francisco 43, and the north bay at a very cold 30 degrees as well. we are expected to stay fairly dry throughout your sunday. before we head into the afternoon we are track a storm system that is moving in from the northwest and it is expected to track south. we well be mentioning that in terms of how much rain they're expected to get as well. here's a quick check of your highs for today. san jose 58 degrees, as gad doe high of 57, and east bay similar conditions as well were walnut creek 56 degrees, hayward 56

degrees and also along the peninsula expect to see mid 50s as well, half moon bay 54 degrees and san mateo 56 degrees. so it's going to abi great day to enjoy outside. mission 56 degrees, outer sunset 55 and for areas along the north some nice 50s. so we're going to be drying throughout the early afternoon and if we fast forward over the next couple hours here's what we can expect. the north day expected to see rain first at about 5:00, 6:00 we will see those showers moving from from santa rosa, napa, and eechk areas around san francisco might see some scatters showers. if we fush this forward to 9:00 the fremont, palo alto area and san jose might have a chance of seeing scatters showers. they are expected to continue through the overnight hours and into monday morning so you may want to take some extra time tomorrow as you make your way to work because the roads do have a potential of being very slick and of course we know the

traffic can get pretty bad during any type of weather. this is the same storm system that is expected to bring rain into southern california and into nont and they have the tarps covering the red carpet. but wur not expecting too much rain in the next 24 hours. the majority say very light turquoise shade. the green area is a possibility of seeing about a half inch of rain in the mountain areas and areas near the north bay. we also can expect to see is some snow for some low snow level elevated areas at about 2 through to 3,000 feet. we have a chance of seeing some pretty decent snow snowfall so you may want to check the travel conditions if you had any plans to head up into that area. now, here's a quick check of what we can expect over the next seven days. we will keep those showers into monday and then we start on monday night into tuesday a drying trend at some high pressure begins to dominate building over the san francisco and bay area entirely and that's

going to keep us dry and warm heading into the 60s for san francisco and the inland areas. so we have a nice day ahead with a few showers overnight vor still carry that umbrella if you have a late night diner. >> we have some breaking news to report this morning. police in san jose have just confirmed that a man was stabbed to death at a downtown bar. officers say it happened just after midnight in the area of several bars on 2nd street. right now police are not releasing the name of the victims and they have not identified any suspects. this marks the sixth homicide of 2017. well thank you so much for making us a part of your morning today. we will have more local news for you tonight at 4:30, 6:00, and 11:00 and of course all day at nbcbayarea.com. we hope have you a great sunday.
