person who was thinking about disclosing vital classified information would think that it goes unpunished, i don't think would get that impression from the sentence that chelsea manning has served. it was a busy day on capitol hill where confirmation hearings continued for president-elect trump's confirmation hearings. the armed services committee voted 26-1 for james mattis. two others did not have it so easy. nancy cordes has more. >> we're a compassionate society. >> no, we're not. >> reporter: democrats interrogated two of the nominees so intensely today, that one one of them briefly mistook the hearing room for a courtroom.

health and human services, price would implement the gop's currently unformed replacement for obamacare. >> i believe and look forward to working with you to make sure every single american has access to the highest quality care and coverage that is possible. >> has "access to" does not mean that they are guaranteed health care. i have access to buying a $10 million home. i don't have the money to do that. former president george h.w. bush, as well as his wife barbara, are hospitalized this morning in houston. omar villafranca has the latest. >> reporter: today, president bush offered the bushes his best wishes at his final press conference. >> they have been a constant source of friendship and support and good counsel for me and michelle over the years. they are as fine a couple as we know. >> reporter: just this past saturday, mr. bush was treated for shortness of breath.

racial slur that he want to turn into something powerful. i was ridiculed as a kid for having slanted eyes. now i'm saying it's something i can be proud of. >> to the trademark office, you were what? >> to the trademark, we're racists. >> reporter: the government refused to give tam a trademark and argues nothing in the first amendment requires congress to encourage the use of racial slurs. >> there are thousands of gross trademarks out there, and no one thinks the government is associating with or endorsing those vulgar, kind of gross, sometimes silly trademarks. >> reporter: first amendment lawyer megan brown points to other bands that refer to race in their names whose trademarks have been approved. like nwa and uncle cracker. ♪ follow me, everything is all right ♪ as proof the government's definition of what may be offensive is inconsistent.

at his only news conference after the election, president-elect donald trump refused to take a question from cnn. he pointed to the network's reporter and said "you are fake news." well, fake news is not new to the american political scene. here's our senior correspondent ted koppel. >> folks, i've been told this by high-up folks, obama and hillary both smell like sulfur. >> reporter: there's nothing new about using media to commit political slander. 1796, an editorial accused thomas jefferson of cowardess, running away from the enemy.

our founding fathers could sling mud with the worst of them. it's not the nastiness that's new, it's the delivery systems. a radio talk show host by the name alex jones can be heard nationwide spreading the manure that fertilizes conspiracy theories all over the internet. >> pizzagate, as it's called, is a rabbit hole that is horrifying to go down. >> reporter: the charge that hillary clinton and her campaign manager, john podesta, were running a child pornography ring out of the basement of a washington pizza restaurant did not, as best we can tell, originate with jones. the accuser remains anonymous. but that story had real consequences. >> 28-year-old edgar welch, after driving from north carolina, entered the pizzaria entered the restaurant and fired shots. he told police he came to rescue child victims. >> reporter: for weeks, people

have been accusing others of smuggling children from their bookstore, politics and prose, to the pizza restaurant. >> are the threats over? no, they're not. they continue online and on the phone. >> i really call it the weaponization of social media and the internet. what it's entitling or enabling people to do is to take completely false information, make up whatever they want with no accountability. >> reporter: so what do you do? you call the police. the fbi. >> turns out there's quite a high bar that's required for police and the fbi to take action. thanks to our first amendment protections. >> has that made you rethink whether the first amendment needs some modifications, given the age in which we live? >> it certainly has. my father actually lost a job in defense of the first amendment back in the mccarthy era.

so i'm pretty sensitive to that issue. however, we live in a different world now, and it's a brave, new world that we have not figured out. the purveyors of this stuff have been able to run ram pant and do damage freely. >> hold on, though. we love the first amendment, free speech, the right to criticize our leaders. protection among other things for our cartoonists, comedians, satirists. >> testing, testing. gina, gina. >> reporter: until recently, the targets of satire were required to grit their teeth and bear it. but the shape of the battlefield has changed. >> google, what is isis? >> reporter: many more people received donald trump's tweet, reacting to the alec baldwin impression, than those who saw the original skit on nbc. >> ted koppel, you've been doing

this for a million years. the average american could never have gotten to you and said hey ted koppel, you know, you missed this point. >> reporter: glenn beck has among the most popular radio shows in the nation. >> now there's parody on social media. the downside is, there is no gate keeper. and there's not a real feeling of personal responsibility online. >> reporter: in his time, beck promoted some of the wildest right wing conspiracy theories out there. >> in the president's life, as you will see, is pure fiction. >> reporter: this is the new, revised glenn beck. >> since really in the last year, and since the election, there are as many sources as i can to beg the media to learn from my mistakes. you know, sometimes you have a road to damascus moment. i've had my road to damascus moment, and if we don't change

this, if we can't find our way to each other, it's only going to get worse. >> reporter: which puts glenn beck on roughly the same page as pope francis. his holiness compared media's obsession with scandal and ugly things to the sickness. if you're just finishing breakfast, just look it up later. it's nasty. it can, however, be profitable. margaret sullivan is media correspondent for "the washington post." >> there is now an industry out there of people who are producing things that are untrue and that are highly shareable, which is the magic word. it's engagement. it's all about engagement. if you can get things shared, you may be able to make money from it. >> how does it work, so that a fraction of a penny for every hit that you get? >> yes, yes. buzzfeed reported this, that there was a group of teenagers in macedonia who were doing

nothing but coming up with fake news stories. they set up their own sites and they register to attract add verytizing through facebook. they put these stories out there, made up to be wrong. but sounded believable enough that people started sharing them. and they could make pretty good money for teens in macedonia. >> reporter: just this week, facebook implemented a new policy that will make it more difficult for the purveyors of fake news to get paid. but fake news is far from being the greatest threat. so one of your correspondents comes to the editorial board of "the washington post" and says, here's this story, which was leaked by the russians to wikileaks and wikileaks has just leaked it to us. and we've checked on it and it turns out to be true. what do you do with that?

>> well, we actually faced that choice throughout the past few months. >> exactly. so if it's true, you run it. >> well, if it's news worthy. >> reporter: josh earnest is white house press secretary. what is the russians did is take information that was stored privately, hack into it, and release it selectively over the course of many, many days in an effort to politically damage or at least erode confidence in our political system in a way that did damage one candidate for president. >> the russians have been engaged in trying to delegitimize one candidate, aid one candidate, that comes close to a belligerent act, doesn't it? >> obviously, it's an unwelcome one. that's why you've seen such a robust response from the u.s. government. >> well, i haven't seen a robust response. >> you've seen a robust response

in terms of basically making clear publicly and in private -- >> i've heard a lot of talk. has there been any response? a robust response? >> well, talk matters. what also matters -- >> it only matter it is you follow it up with action. >> reporter: and before leaving on vacation, president obama hinted broadly that action was either forthcoming or had already been taken. the president also urged us to look in the mirror. >> if fake news that's being released ok, let's try this.

it says you apply the blue one to me. here? no. have a little fun together, or a lot. k-y yours and mine. two sensations that work together, so you can play together.

most americans aren't familiar with the presidents carved into the mountain at mt. rushmore. mark albert has this story from the black hills of south dakota. >> reporter: a monument to native american legend crazy horse is taking shape. for nearly 70 years, crews have been blasting millions of tons of rock off the mountain. construction began here in 1948. the work grew the attention of la cota chief standing bear.

president-elect donald trump has been loudly critical of the $4 billion price tag for a pair of new air force one aircraft. after meeting with the president-elect, the ceo of boeing said he's working to bring down the cost. travel editor peter greenberg has a look at the traveling white house. >> reporter: one of the most recognizable symbols of american power, air force one tells the world the president has arrived. but air force one isn't just a plane. it's a military designation for any air force plane the president might be flying. the first plane called air force one carried president eisenhower in 1959. but it was jfk who brought the plane into the jet age. the current fleet is comprised of two modified boeing 747s.

first used by president george h.w. bush in 1990. the two planes have carried every president since, from clinton to president obama, at a cost of $180,000 per hour. >> it's still the white house and it's in constant contact and he's still the commander in chief. now, to say you couldn't do that on president-elect trump's aircraft, i wouldn't say that. it just seems to me you would have to do an awful lot of retro fit. >> reporter: trump's plane is also made by boeing, entering service in 1991 with sterling airlines. a low-cost danish airline. it then flew for a mexican charter company before being sold to the co-founder of microsoft who sold it to trump in 2010. that's when the real refurbishment began. >> it's got the donald trump touch.

>> reporter: greg louner's company sky theater designed the plane's entertainment button. >> he has a special tea button designed just for him that overrides everybody else. >> reporter: it can only fly up to 4400 miles and carry 43 passengers. air force one can fly 7800 niles with 70 passengers. it contains state of the art defenses that include in flight refueling capabilities, anti-missile system and blast resistant outer skin. and while air force one has an on board hospital, trump's 757 boasts 24 carat gold, and a entertainment center. >> and that's the "overnight news" for this thursday. for some of you the news will
