network with a one hundred million dollar lawsuit an apology was issued three journalists resigned some c.n.n. employees were also caught on camera this was back in june claiming that the channel runs alleged russian meddling stories only to boost ratings but what he thinks going to happen this week with the rest of. the things that the people of the book really. the point c.n.n. constantly in. russia those from the. business ratings the president is probably right there. were. those who go. over to prove we talk to the director of grassroots political consulting daniel for archie who chairs president trump's concern over the state of america's media you have about five corporations that control or entire media apparatus people are profiting off of them and it's completely controlled and at the same time you have congress investigating and seeking regulation on free media any alternative news

4:09 am
avoid any kind of trouble and these two groups have come out onto the streets to really as yet another example of how high the division has been here during these last several days surrounding the referendum. thanks. to the violent police crackdown on catalans on the day of the referendum is often at the forefront in some boy deliberate got near barcelona equipment and supplies sent by madrid to a military base have been met with resistance the move is seen as preparation for more trouble to come it was inevitable after what happened on the first of october . we can't bear to be beaten to a elderly people and our children to be treated badly lost almost a political we don't. and security forces here they're preparing everything to bring in repressive forces we saw how they behaved on the first of october we don't want either the civil guard or the national police.

4:24 am
a criminal offense and could result in jail time however the law doesn't apply to everyone most congressional staff members get away with it scot free but the question is is this legal while a few years ago the stop trading on congressional knowledge act or stock was fashioned to cry. insider trading and prevent members of congress from trading stocks based on nonpublic information gathered on capitol hill the stock act makes it clear that if members of congress used. from asia to gain an unfair advantage in the market they are breaking the law. however about a year later the bill was amended allowing top federal employees to hide their financial dealings from the public now the new change didn't apply to members of congress but nothing was said about their aides or staff members comfortably
