constantly by virtue of the fact that you can correct yourself that breaking news can be correctly they jumped with this idea that he referred to immigrants as being animals now before anybody knew what it was immediately repeated replicated and then later on with the idea that we can correct it later on when you had a deadline when somebody had to yell stop the presses if you meant something in there rob says there is no fact jesting it's ok if you're in a wednesday when a.p.b. a.p. was the first to admit that they had made a mistake gentlemen i'm going to go to a break here after that short break we'll continue our discussion on media war stay with r.t. . i've

been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over one trillion dollars and more than ten dollars timestamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. a batch or sudden passing i've only just left. and you worry yourself and taken

your last to bang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one might differ as i speak to you now as there were no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings.

to join judges. and eight hundred sixteen nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. a jumpy a. and a russian bob stuff. show you how and why the crimea bridge was built. what was the construction of when you need to transport audrie that will help out of crimea. faster mortal those you won't go for more familiar with the rich will. welcome back to cross talk were all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing media wars.

ok let's go back to ron in los angeles. i'm like many other people could be very critical on how president. handles himself or the rhetorical e how we deal with the press i think all that's fair game most importantly it should be about policy but it seems to me that the the the legacy media the cable stations again with the exception of fox to some extent they're actually imitating him if he can break all the rules then why can't we but at the end of the day the media loses because you know trump isn't held he doesn't say i'm a man of virtue he's not a man of great values ok the american people that voted for him didn't vote for a choir boy but it seems to me that the the the legacy media they feel that they have the right to imitate donald trump and i think that is a huge disservice to the public go ahead ron it is

a huge disservice to the public yes however i would offer the alternative i don't think the media is losing i think the american people are losing. i think that i think that the media at the end of the day really likes trump they appreciate the fact that he gives them click bait that he gives them the soundbites you know because he doesn't talk very diplomatically and they kind of help him get elected in the first place so they run with these little tidbits and you know it's not just the media working alone i would argue that the politicians really help out especially because the democratic party they have really no platform and they have no ideas so all they can really do is say hey we're not try. really bad and here's another sound bite and it's very very frustrating especially as somebody on the left so what i like to do is when people were complaining about the latest for instance with the the animal statement i read we read tweet them all and i'd be

like you know what if you were tired you wouldn't have to listen to him anymore just a suggestion because critically good point. it seems like it's his virtues signaling that's what i get what i get from the the old mainstream media the legacy media it's really does he know who's virtuous and all of course the president united states has no virtue so the rest of us how that i can think that to a journalism was supposed to be about ok and i think that's one of the things that is really pulling everything down i mean there's so many important issues here you know the economy is booming i don't really think it's booming it's booming for the for the wealthy and for the finance. well to do and when there's a need to be much more a microscope on that and also the the animals issue of immigration has to be talked about in a civil way it's something that everyone wants but no it's virtues signaling you know let's look after the caravan in mexico ok for me this is this is a dead end that they're playing they're doing

a complete disservice to the public go ahead rob well it's incumbent upon the president and his white house to function the way it's supposed to i don't believe we even have a new communications director i understand how the white house works and a communications director is supposed to liaise with the other people on the comms team at the white house who then in turn work with their press counterparts in the press pool i don't think anything goes on there in terms of the white house conveying the white house and the president's policies and so there and you have something there is just a stagnation and an inertia so the press will sits around twiddling their thumbs going what are we going to do today and there's got to be a dynamic. but don't you think rob that a lot of people who are in the press pool there they don't really want they don't see this white house as being legitimate i mean they don't they don't talk to their their counterparts in the white house as equals because they look down upon them ok

i mean you can see the in their faces at the white house press gatherings you can see the contempt they have ok and i know you're laughing but i think it's really true i mean they are birch us ok that's but that's not what politics is really all about and that's what and that's not what people voted for go ahead lying if you know if i could this may be rather self aggrandizing in a weird way but let me just say what we're doing right now first of all the amount of time than any of us have had to discuss an idea could not exist in the old mainstream media could not by by virtue of time number two there are no advertisers here so there's nobody limiting what we say number three none of us get any kind of a list from the producer ahead of time to try to ferret out ferret exactly what we're going to say to limit what we're going to say to contain the message this is with all that's going on with russian media and foreign agents the most free form

and i know it's i think being gratuitous but if the old mainstream media tried that if somebody if any of the particular hacks you want to mention said you know what today we're going to try something i'm going to have somebody who is really good perhaps combative and i'm not going to tell the party line but i'm going to really provide a chance for people to come forward and not exclude them through filtration it might help but they can't because they are hollywood and entertainment is become almost the entertainment section of the military industrial complex a deep state depending on whatever you want to call it this is an agenda and now with obama going to netflix signing a development deal do you have any idea what that means this is apparatchik agilent . nonsense and people see through it and they're going to rebound they don't understand the they've lost the war and the older times are done with it and people are going to rebound ok but you know let's be fair here i mean on

a program no no no no no i will be i mean in time out i'm very critical of like c.n.n. and miss n.b.c. but let's not you know your progressive let's talk about fox here i mean i like i like chocolate carlson very much i'm very open about that but then i watch hannity and i just think that's just you know the white house that's a white house press operation i mean it is it's apparently an extension of the white house and i think that that is not journalism i know sean hannity is a partisan person he wears his stripes on his on his sleeves there but at the same time you get that you get the feeling there's real collusion there what do you think. well i think hyper partisanship and kind of like that type of punditry is just a quick paycheck and it's always kind of been in style who's the number one host right now rachel maddow rachel maddow is just the corporate left i mean because she's she's not left at all but she's kind of the corporate media version of the left response to

a xan hannity sean hannity was number one when obama was in office was she's number one now because trump's in office and it's giving people the these tribal little groups to get into and that's how we go about our business and i would also say you know the white house is in total disarray yes that's true there's more turnover than a third party pyramid scheme yes that's true however the media is no better at all i mean when the media was told to turn off their cameras there was not one person in that room in that press briefing room that had the courage to say no i'm not turning off my camera because this is my job my employer is very powerful and i'm not turning my camera off what are you going to do arrest him. that story will go viral go ahead they all said yes sir or madam i'll turn my camera off that's not journalism that's access journalism that cinco fance it's nonsense and it's garbage

and it's got to stop a full disclaimer here i am going to be submitting a pilot to barack obama's netflix company because i am in show business and with them i don't have to worry about them changing anything ok well sign me up if you get that gig ok i'll certainly watch it there you know rob you know i've often thought of looking at the the white house briefings is that these people have already written their article and they're just looking for a soundbite to throw in the they really stood. there for is for the powers that be and again you know when i look at the quality in the aptitude of the questions that are being asked i just wonder. is this to see you know is this for what it was that two we had classes for people that they were advanced placement for smart people and then what was the other classes for the slow people don't remember the derm right now but i mean it's these people who are challenged intellectually that mean they really are challenge intellectually and if you ask a bad question you're going to get

a bad answer hasn't anyone figured that out yet go ahead. one of the things that i find really idiotic that nobody is consistently calling out is watch a press conference with sarah huckabee sanders i'm not a fan of hers but a reporter will raise their hand and say so isn't it true the president a lot trump is lying about what are the course he's going to say you know and then they go oh my god she's alarmed well what what are they expected to say somehow you've compelled me to admit. something that you haven't the american people the whole world god and everybody else is in every universe it's just it's like it's like the idiotic sportscaster that's like did you feel bad when you struck out and lost the world series what do you have and i was happy because i had money bet on the game i'm going to disney world to. call it out and i'm doing it right now ok

lionel one of the things that we're absolutely running out of time and i want to make sure you have plenty of time to finish up but one of the things that trump lives you know you know well first of all politicians lie all the time and my senses and it's not to defend the president because he said things that i'm very strongly disagree with but you know he's saying something he's saying something that somebody disagrees with this would mean it's a lie and i don't understand this true but people are constantly going after that because if you use that level of analysis then i'm right in the made in the mainstream media all the networks that they're lying all the time as well so if it's the same standard go ahead i know but that's i going to a spelling bee and somebody gets it wrong and you say you're lying and saying not you shouted. but here's the thing is happening right now this is the marquee right now it's clear what you're doing is when somebody goes back when it's a chapter comes back and asks as ron says perhaps the most stupid question in the history of mankind they don't say hey jake that was the most stupid question in the history of mankind he said you see how many lights you got this is reaching this is

gone viral but it's stupid no said. thing is stupid our numbers are up because that's what it is this is a front what they do is what something they can refer to later because what's happened is they don't realize it they are a truck this is beyond c d this is like to let go of the they're living in the past and they don't know it the star has burned out millions of years ago they're the last ones to be told ok line i'm going to give you the last ten seconds because you're so eloquent give us a word we need to look up in the pits are a sky head. the best one is mockingbird media and mockingbird many referred to operation mockingbird and it refers to what is still in effect in effect an attempt by the cia to basically to have repeated or as you alluded to and not reporters that rip and that's rocky peter is going to end on that note repeaters here were not repeaters on cross not many thanks so my guess in new york and in los angeles and thanks to our viewers for watching us here see you next time remember.

this hour's headlines story just north korea gears to close it's only. part of a bargain with the u.s. . given rare access on our correspondents reporting on route. as you can see behind me we're being greeted like celebrities here though we go to north korea . also and the u.s. ambassador to israel controversially poses with an altered jerusalem with one of the most sacred muslim sites removed and replaced by a jewish place of worship. in germany admits that to the far right extremists there may be an illegal possession of

a firearm. from moscow to the world this is r t international my names you know neal hello and welcome our top story north korea is gearing up to close its nuclear test site in the country's remote north east there have been six nuclear bomb test. since two thousand and six which were carried out inside the mountain it's the world's last officially active nuclear test site north korea's described how the site will be dismantled saying there will be a controlled explosion to collapse all the tunnels that will result in all the entrance points being blocked as well after that to be above ground facilities will be destroyed some changes have already been observed by experts some subtle and

images taken in april earlier this month buildings have been demolished together with a railway line but artie's eager to down off is among a group of international journalists who say it all on an arduous journey to see the nuclear facilities shut down. you don't even know. so. we are shocked. shocked because from. all over the trade all journalists currently on board the train have an eleven hour trip in total with all the windows covered for the duration of the journey they were also given strict instructions not to open the blinds then to get to the remote mountain

area cruz will spend several hours traveling by bus and finally an hour on foot to the site itself before boarding the train igor sent us his report documenting his journey from china to north korea's one stone. we're in the beijing international airport and as you can see behind me we're being greeted like celebrities here those who go to north korea we've been here for the past couple of days and all journalists parts of this press tour have been amassed in the chinese capital because that's where we got our visas that's what we where we got our tickets and now we will be proceeding to check in to our flights those are the windows that we're waiting for the personnel and so i'll be signing off and meeting you hopefully greeting you from north korea itself next time so this is the choreo flights we will be taking to get inside north korea thing is we aren't even

exactly sure as to where exactly we're headed because according to our media to documents we're going to the southern port city of one sound but according to our boarding passes we're headed to the north korean capital pyongyang so i guess the north the option but to find out on board of the plane. as it seems seems you know we're going to pyongyang or to once on. one time thank you. so there are roughly twenty john that's here on this plane and so as we're going to one son i just want to give you what glimpse as to what's going on on board would be in the press pieces like this one for example the pyongyang times it's mostly about politics but also features pieces like recipes for this rice and cake and also we've been given and this very very karl colorful. magazine which features everything from the latest one as to what's been going like in the life of him

going on the supreme leader of north korea but also if each is. young and the like two pieces like the ones for example how you speak the local be speaking in. so you walk out of any airports what's the first thing you expect to see it's a bustling crowd of people pushing and shoving it's the taxi drivers offering their often overpriced services well check this out nothing of this sort here it's just an empty parking lot and three buses that will take us to the city. you want to. if you.

will it's very rare. so you move. it's an interesting insight and you can follow igor on twitter where he's posting details and photos from the reclusive country whenever he can find out what kind of food you might expect in north korea a look around local hotels to see what they're like on his feed donald trump meanwhile is casting ballots on the much anticipated summit with north korea june the twelfth of june during a meeting with the south korean president in washington trump said the event might not happen at all. we are working on something and you know there's a chance that it'll work out there's a chance is a very substantial chance that it will work out that doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time but it may not work out for june twelfth i think it will be very

successful but as i always say who knows what's going to happen you know i often say who knows who knows a lot of good things going to happen a lot of bad things going to happen we'll see how it all works maybe if you want a lot of things change everything can be scuttled everything can be scuttled but washington appears to be sending mixed messages with the white house issuing a commemorative coin ahead of the summit which depicts trump the north korean leader together with president trump an earlier war north korea could face the same fate as libya for a minute the african nation give up its weapons of mass destruction but still face nato intervention done in mcadam's from the ron paul peace institute believes such threats render washington a strange pick as peacemaker. there you have basically talking about libya as the model for north korea we know what happened to libya libya voluntarily gave up its weapons and was overthrown nonetheless if that's not

a red flag to the north koreans i don't know what is i mean if i would north korea particularly watching it how the u.s. tore up the iran agreement i would believe if you have any mind at all you would be very very skeptical i think the u.s. is essentially irrelevant to the solution of the korean problem and that may be one of the silver linings of the fact that the trump administration seems to have no clue what it's doing the north and south are clearly moving ahead we saw that historic meeting on the border we saw for talks progress moon was elected to do exactly what you're trying to do and i think it's actually the u.s. the interventionist the neoconservatives who are isolating the us and making us irrelevant i think that the ball is in play with north and south korea u.s. is irrelevant at some point if a deal is made between the north and the south eventually the u.s. will have to be asked to leave. america isn't buster to israel has come in for criticism after he was seen posing with a rather controversial gift david freeman was presented with

a photograph of one of the most sacred places in jerusalem but the image had been altered to show the jewish third temple on the site where the islamic mosque and the dome of the rock are currently situated the third temple is a biblical reference to a new place of worship to replace an ancient one which was destroyed the u.s. embassies asked for an apology saying the envoy was unaware that he was being given a doctored picture the region is still reeling from deadly protests against the relocation of the embassy to jerusalem here's our middle east correspondent paula sleeper. the photograph immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim world sabah erica who is the secretary general of the palestine liberation organization the p.l.o. so that friedman expressed to quote rude and hypocritical behavior you then have a tb who is an arab israeli law maker and comes from the israeli arab dominated political alliance called the joint let's and he has responded to the photographs

by saying that this madman wants to bring peace a good thing you didn't put the embassy there at the same time we're hearing that the american ambassador has apologized freidman must not the word of the image thrust in front of him when the photo was taken he was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to create controversy the u.s. policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo on the her arm al-sharif temple mount now here which is the organization from which the man who gave the present came from has expressed its own concerns about the incident it says that the man who presented the picture actually acted on his own behalf but the problem is that the american ambassador already has a record of controversy even before this event he is a supporter of israeli settlements in palestinian territory and in the past he's also called on the u.s. state department to stop calling the west bank israeli occupied territory and this

incident comes at a very unfortunate.
