world of news media there is fake nums and then there is actual fake news the typical fake news is the term the politicians pundits and political party devo t.v. used to insult and accuse each other when confronted with journalism or facts they disagree with and then there is real life fake news where a news story is written based on verifiably false facts and narratives to push an agenda for political person or financial gain and real life fake news was brought front and center this week when the guardian reported that class serious and award winning journalist for der spiegel was discovered to have been blatantly falsifying stories over the course of his career yes cnn's two thousand and fourteen journalist of the year had to resign his position as one of the spiegel's top writers and drew was uncovered that he made up stories and invented protagonists at least fourteen of sixty of his articles that we know of some of the recent

tainted stories include pieces he wrote of the us mexico border issues a nother story about a yemeni prisoner being held in guantanamo bay and even. falsified information in a story on civil rights leader and u.s. football star collin capper make also included in class and classes nonfiction fiction parade was a story on the small town of burgas falls minnesota which he puffed up as a typical rural american town that prays every sunday for president donald trump except as residents michelle anderson and jay crone point out medium not only to expose am fergus falls make unrecognizable movie like characters out of the out of the people in my town that i interact with on a daily basis but it's very basic lack of truth that it's bizarrely bleak portrayal of the place i love left a very sick unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach and you see that my friends is where the real. pain lives in the scourge of fake news even more so than

politicians or political parties the true victims of baker biased news is the public whose lives are manipulated and danced upon by both who would put career profit and activism before honest good journalism that would start watching the hawks. were pretty. good at playing like real that this would. lead to the plot of. the day like you that i got. was that we. would. be. particularly. welcome are going to watching the hawks i am tyrrel over and on top of the list. yeah. it it's sad there's

a get sad pathetic when you read these stories because they they hold a lot of power and responsibility when you're at the level of a c.n.n. and or speak new york times guardian even. they hold a really important responsibility to the rest of journalism to be at the top of their game and to watch what's going on. in the garden which is fiber right everything that the guardians on our streets in vegas are going to be guarded going to broke this story earlier you know really pumped it up when you know just what three four weeks ago in melbourne around me metaphor story the battle to this day has got to be verified but congress people have written letters about it. but spiegel's a huge publication we're talking about seven hundred twenty five thousand print copies a week and the online readership of more than six point five million that this reporter essentially made up stories to you know and that's where the real danger is you know people use big news they throw it away when you see moments like this

you know we're someone who really you know truly live just to whatever else we're given but someone like you know when you talk about you know a different version of this atheist this is what happened before famously and other major areas in the last year. and you wonder how that happens but i want to say that the sort of hero in this story is journalist juan marino had worked with class on the u.s. border story and he's the one who took the time to sort of double check his work which is terrifying to me that nobody do it know that there isn't someone already doing that because publications of these places but he states that for the weeks he was investigating. he went through hell because nobody believed everything here you're just another one of these you know reporters going after another reporter because you don't like their politics not because you don't like their reporting so if they felt it was he was just making a personal attack because how could see it is a rumor of the year exactly classes finally fessed up to their c.e.o.

told der spiegel he regrets his actions news deeply ashamed and he declared it wasn't because of the next big thing it was fear of failing my pressure not to be able to fail got out. or bigger the more successful i became and that my friends is what happens when you base your career of lies if you start your career lud and then you have to put lie on top of a lie in order to maintain or maintain the level and look how he got brought down do not mess with small town america lie about small town america and my favorite thing is the president we've both been to the town hall supergrass balls he's talking about. i want to regionals very quickly so that one of the this is because he talked about fergus ball entering the town like this use of the bus bends from the highway to a narrow sloping street rolling towards a dark forest that looks like dragons live in a the entrance just before the station there's a sign with american stars and stripes of a banner which reads welcome to fergus falls home of damn good folks is what he

wrote but the actuality of burgas well i'd like to point out two major things one is the sign that is the sign for fergus falls no damn good folks although they probably are damn good my second problem is there's no dragons there but there is in fact a giant otter yes there isn't a giant margaret or. maybe he thought the otter was a dragon and dragon but it is the people that get harmed by this and the good folks who wrote the story immediately it was at the show anderson that lives in fergus falls she had something really interesting to say she said she had said that there's really nothing like this feeling knowing that people in another country have read about the place and are shaking their heads over their coffee and discuss sharing their articles on facebook and twitter making comments on line like creepy and these are the people who don't believe it like tristan says than any say this as someone who comes from a town of born and raised in a town twelve hundred people this happens a lot and i've seen c.n.n. reporters do reports on my hometown and sat back and that's not right that isn't

right it's got to be honest. one of the biggest under-reported story is that there was a war in yemen and the united states military role of providing support and logistics to saudi arabia and the coalition's distro. of the country but that under reported story finally became front page news here in america when the u.s. congress finally took up the issue and the senate actually voted to end the u.s. military's involvement in that war and while many may point to saudi kingdom's killing of journalists as the main reason behind the vote it was actually the hard work of u.s. and yemeni citizens here on the ground in washington d.c. and across the country their profits historic bill to the life in the senate despite the howls of outrage by the war hawks and profiteers they were joined recently by one of those good folks who work to get this bill passed just foreign policy is hassan l.t.v. and he asked and asked him how can u.s. citizens affect congress beyond just voting age election here and actually get ideas turned into political reality when those ideas challenge the money and power

of the military industrial complex take a listen. i think it's really imperative for a couple things when you start at the beginning as far as war and peace issues let's just go to break that off i think people need to know what the costs. i think this is a pretty amazing document that has got us through some tough times and the fundamental piece of it that we're working with with this war powers resolution is that congress has the power to declare war article one section eight clause eleven for people who want to look it up they are right there and soon and that is just such a wonderful piece because we don't have a king we have a president who is beholden to congress in the in the supreme court so we've got separation of powers that's fundamental and using the war powers resolution allows us to have congress reassert its war authority and pressure for

a vote so i think i think what we did here by passing this for the first time in u.s. history in the senate we went a long way in stablish in precedents where you know members of congress are primed and they're ready to reassert their constitutional war authority especially in the senate you know so we need to remind congress of this historic thing that they did and can praise them and continue to force them to do that ok on top of that is to know that your voice matters so write a letter to the editor write an op and goes to a local democratic meeting republican meeting and and make your voice heard go go talk to the people that are impacted by these policies and try to get their voices out front i also encourage people just to schedule a lobby visit with your community bring you know if you go to church bring your pastor bring your priest that your church bring other community leaders in and go

and make your voice heard now on top maybe let me explain a couple more things that we did that i think kind of move the conversation a little bit we schedule so we did a lot of lobby visits and we you know racked up co-sponsors because there are a lot of people in the house that i think for. better or worse they actually cared about what's going on so we racked up a lot of co-sponsors and then we said you know palosi and adam schiff they haven't co-sponsored yet so we organized this community event rallies protest what you want to call it and. led by yemenis outside their offices in district in san francisco and l.a. and then we brought a bunch of reporters and and then within hours they co-sponsored the bill. and sometimes you got to kind of give them a kick in the butt the little bit like to really wake them up to one side and then

now she's on her side now she's being a leader she says she actually just told one of my colleagues that. in the start i mean nancy pelosi and her staff and the start of the next congress one hundred sixteen she's making this a priority and she's going to try to support another war powers resolution and that's really exciting because we know we've got the votes in the senate regardless there's going be a little turnover but we know that. even with the turnover we did add a few democratic. senators so we have the votes in the senate and we know we have the votes in the house especially if nancy pelosi and sandy hoyer are whipping for this vote so that's good news and you know that's the grassroots coming together and pushing this debate and i'm going to say thank you so much for coming on today and thank you so much for your work on this all of us who are kind of fighting and want to see not only about war and suffering but also the war profiteers in general

to be kind of brought down and it's just beginning. to move in forward. thank you so much for coming on a pleasure. as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook twitter and you tube and fearful shows that are coming up the wallace being the. handle of r t america's brilliant thought provoking female hosts and correspondents to discuss some of the biggest issues women face them two thousand and eighteen don't want to miss this stay tuned for watching the hawks.

well you know the pirate thing we've kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small ball of sticks in a hard pool of ships and it's. tough to. eliminate self to big told fish already ninety percent of it are caught and flown with connor. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tonnes and they do it several times a day with a big fleets you know you get an idea. we have to understand we cannot stay still and just. be witness the deal going on because our. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

a. much bigger economic power much or wall inter. i think. you have to live with that. and there's lots of advantages that the europeans jethro but as well as america. at the tender age of fifteen. i lived through what was lauded as the year of the woman because apparently we're only supposed to get one anita hill's stood up to

clarence thomas during a supreme court confirmation hearing questioning the lack of women in congress and the dominance of male voices there is the years following i watched as janet reno became the first united states female attorney general madeleine albright became the first woman to serve as secretary of state congolese or rice begin the first black woman to become secretary of state and today at the more mature age of older we're seeing a new year of the woman take hold we finally joined forces to take down the likes of harvey weinstein and les moonves and made sure no one would ever forget the brett kavanaugh is a beer lover first and a judge second we took no prisoners and the dam of female rage resistent respect it's broken so i sat down earlier with some of my favorite women here at r.a.t america scotty now accuse of news views hughes those of a question bonilla chan and correspondents are a month or so ago to discuss some of the year's best and worst for women.

so ladies when rachelle twee knew when i was elected to her post she took over a seat from chris brooks as a democrat representing clark county nevada and what he did is it changed things pretty considerably in a historic way so in nevada of all places scottie who runs the world so you know we've always said girls as quoted by the great philosopher beyond. the truth is this is this is historic in fact this is one of the first now granted another state in the past in hampshire did hold the majority of women before held over but this is interesting because it's novato of all the states that are doing this and they also both their senate seats are being held by females but i think this also speaks to a bigger picture that's happening as to the movement of more women are getting involved and this is not a high paying job to be elected in the legislature and we're going to be and this is there's no benefits that come with this and sometimes it's part of the year or not so it's interesting to see more women are actually taking the time say you know

what it's worth it maybe i don't i sort of make my yoga class but it's going to go vote on legislation in my state and i think that's a positive kind of combine i'm making much easier for everybody that you know legislatures vision and women will hold thirty two of the sixty three seats in the nevada legislator over the next session begins in february that's fifty one percent and that's the best part is that no state house has ever held over fifty percent before so this is a positive thing movement going forward at least two thousand and seventy three women will occupy seats in the fifty state houses an increase more than one hundred ninety two in that twenty two cities so the nationwide share of female legislators will be around twenty point one percent that's a three percent higher in twenty eighteen that's the best part it's obvious the activities of the last year have had results elections have consequences these consequences mean we do it in high heels it's a good year for women and women and we've seen this before we know when i was young

. there are about fifteen years old you. don't do the math at home but it was the year of the woman and we were told a growing up i mean most of us were trying you know hillary clinton all these women anita hill or you know we had all of it but then there was this this sad part where nobody was running and we weren't seeing women this is exciting to see more women on both sides it's not just like more democratic or liberal women it's a lot more conservative women are coming forward to you know what i mean they're being accepted to and i think it with higher power and giving them more of a role and more of a voice i think and that's really important days for for little girls to be raised knowing that they too can have a voice and make a difference i think seeing the four women on this panel right now makes a difference for little girls to see that it's ok to have an opinion it's ok to speak up it's ok to take part in whether it's legislature or or medicine or science or what have you i think it's a big deal for there are more women now in television than there ever was before but i think the most important part is we can't just talk about issues that they think women are going to talk about it has to be across the board you know they

talk about this week the first female market to market program the floor of the stock exchange she's been put on there and she's the youngest one and she's a she's trading stocks along with the men so i think we need to actually continue to focus on the women's issues that they always give us but talk across works those same issues are the reason why women are getting a ball because they realize their voice does matter not just in things like they have to do with the home or educate those are important but there is important that terrible or frozen you know never having real women as part of their labor market yeah exactly it's women as part of the labor market and part of all of our sort of care that our industries make a lot of money for a wall where the usually at this point are more the breadwinners in a lot of families are the women so we're seeing new things but even though we're getting in legislature even though we're doing all these things when we go to the doctor it is still a struggle and i know that i but there's been a struggle for me over the years as as a woman i have had to fight with doctors my entire life. to explain like you have

pain it's nothing i have a stomach and it's probably an eating disorder it's in your head and i don't have a good we've all heard it we're all i go out there so one of the things i mean you just you just had a baby. you know. and i'm back at work look at that exactly i mean we're going to do that but we found out this year a lot of williams a lot of people you know when a woman goes in to have a baby or goes into the doctor you're not treated the same way and even sciences tells us this doesn't it well absolutely we are not treated the same way i think we should take this as sort of a sexist remark we are physiologically made differently the way we're treated when we go to the doctors up until more recently with with new data that's been reported women were treated the way men were treated which was bad it's just an old

old science reporting that's based on research for the decades guess what all that research was based on men taking part in the research because and i'll tell you here it said that women of childbearing age were not allowed to take part in research in decades past and so when we go to get treated like say having a heart attack for example we experience the pain differently as you see there that's a a statement from one of the researchers of this topic women having a heart attack seem to be less likely than men to attribute their symptoms to a condition that requires urgent treatment because we have been conditioned to say ok when you're having a heart attack it's a pain in your chest and pain down your arm but women guess what we experience pain differently our brains function differently we're literally programmed differently that's not to talk and let's not forget the societal conditioning that you know women it's ok for us. to speak up and say that we have pain or what have you

whereas men you boys are taught to what does it go back and say how great you know women at the same time they're the ones they're going to i'm too busy to stop because you know my foot might hurt your sorry i might have had a broken bone in my foot but i'm going to keep running because i have twenty things that i think the other part of that is women actually will suck it up carry got me no friends man you get a cold you're down. right hauling in the ambulance but for women we just suck it up and we just keep moving until actually we're literally in our death bed and have a serious issue to happen so obviously we don't have the warning signs so i mean it's i think we tend to like the society has has taught us has told us rather we've got to keep going we've got things to do because you've got to be a working woman you've got to be a mom you've got to be a sister an aunt you have to play all these different roles so it doesn't stop for you so you've got to keep going so a lot of women are experiencing heart attacks as equally on par with men and we're just not taking care of ourselves so i think

a lot of women need to be more mind that they were a lot of care and look at just before moving on next i'm going to favor you can see this and. whatever your political persuasion. has been said she was taking a self care day because hey it's the holidays she's about to make new job and there are think pieces after think pieces about how taking a few days for years self what is how dare you need to started work it was one of my why how do. you got it you know you got to give her credit she literally started working the day she got elected which is what do you expect people to do but you have to take that moment and she's being selfish for doing it that's what we're actually going to raise them on how to societal part that plays into this that tells you it's not ok to take care of yourself but the scientific proof is here that women do experience it differently it's part of our limbic system versus men's other parts of their brain activate this is way more science even we should probably get into right now in a much. but my little realistically the woman goes down the household the household

collapses so if you know men you have to win the day off take care of yourself and or do that all because she goes down is down for everybody that is very you get the kid so when you're down what you need is a good movie right and the thing about i worked almost twenty years now so we're almost there like five but we're proud of that like me over at twenty two and already worked two decades in entertainment in film and it was always very clear to me as a woman that i would sit in meetings and hear over and over about how women lead films don't make money men make money that's not true not true and a recent study actually looked at three hundred fifty movies made from twenty fourteen and twenty seventeen of those three hundred fifty one hundred fifty of them were female lead characters and they found believe it or not that box office made more money in women leading actors versus males now we have more movies where women do have a leader role like wonder woman who not only was the first leading actor who was

a female but was the first director female director who made that much money in the film in film history so this was a lot about women wanting to see more women on the screen and a lot of people argue that it's because they're tired of seeing the same old tasks the male playing the hero and so this inspires little girls and women to go see something different something we haven't seen before and i also want to point out though that not just as a leading role but there's still a lot of discrepancy in the pay so there's still a huge gender gap and that just because they're making more money in the box office doesn't mean they're making more money in the pocket we saw recently with the kevin spacey who was replaced in the drama all the money in the world for mark walberg and michelle williams had to reshoot the film she was only paid i think it was one while very good team negotiated one point five million for reshooting williams eighty dollars per d.m. that comes less to a thousand or less. and one percent of what malt walberg me and i want to bring up

of the highest paid male and female actors if we look at the totals women made a combined one hundred nine million this is a top five female leading actors men two hundred eighty four million more than double so this is huge like one of the better agents yeah. listening to bad agents and this is a thing we learned here so much talk about i could use every day and i'm not with you on part of movies it goes back to they don't have to be like you're looking at movies like for me things like long as good night thank you for the greatest part of a movie and since then we see more and more because we can do anything the man can do but we don't need a movie to tell us that no one knows what he did not like that's what girls and women are like to live in pop culture that's where people look to see what's acceptable in society and might we since we're on the topic of movies we should mention penny marshall one of. her to her death shares such an amazing she did so much for women act and she was you know they say in the director she would read it

were a woman she was a mom and she went and and still gave everything so that in may so many memories for all of us are great some of the winning woman of the week i would say i was her the winning woman award we're going to have her as a really positive way and that's you know we're all here because of people like penny marshall and for stories like all of these movies and everything thank you so much all of you here we are women talking about women. twenty twentieth's and look out for twenty one thousand get crazy around here. ok so i was wondering what ginger ale that is always all of them know as well as what the other side of the. body about is our soul for the day remember born in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am i roll them to. keep on watching those hawks never break they might.

imagine that again six thirty five and you have a what a career and a career involves using your i sold in your computer and things like that i've been in an office and perhaps you sort of getting going it's circular. you could have to stop doing all this i mean this is kind of you lou the minutes must be for my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up loving it and the box. around it a very strong magnetic field on a card held in my head. it's like a real hard pressure on my skin burns and that wireless access point here just
