11:30 pm
there is a corruption inside the police well that single sure is. i'm steve malzberg let's take a look at what's coming up on today's menu for eat the press. has riots the nation some in the media are telling viewers. don't believe your lying eyes drawing a quibble and see between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they both resort to violence to cnn's priest paul have a history of excusing some violent behavior as long as he considers the cause to be righteous we'll take a look back as the president signs an executive order designed to curb social media
11:31 pm
censorship of conservatives what will the future hold our panel weighs in and a former c.b.s. news president says the media is tilted to the left has been for a long time and it's too late to fix it lionel will be here with his take i'm steve malzberg let's see the press. oh yeah. the list. by. you know folks it doesn't take a genius to understand we're living through turbulent times during last week's heat the press we talked extensively about the horrible death suffered by george floyd at the hands of the minneapolis police department that death soon led to the protests and riots that we've seen taking place daily across the country and if you think the media has been able to cover what's going on without their usual liberal biased guess again. watch them watch them lie to you what after the other as you
11:32 pm
watch what you're watching and you see what you're seeing and they're telling you no you're not seeing that i want to be clear in how i. actually have a problem just trying to get in on it is not generally speaking i don't really. started and the 1st thing i want to be perfectly well this has been a little bit of carly as well about because it's been a mostly peaceful protests but then they chose to move in many of these protests have been largely peaceful mostly peaceful mostly peaceful mostly peaceful so many good people out there who want change and who are demanding change. and leave it to the did miss falbe on television to spin things this way our country was started because this is how the boston tea party rioting. so don't do not get in twisted and think that oh this is something that has not never
11:33 pm
happened before and then this is so terrible and where are we in these savages and all of that this is how this country will start making excuses making excuses for people who who beat up female business owners and riot in luton beat up cops wow that's don lemon and of course the president has come under fire during all this from the media imagine the president and his attorney general have vowed to restore law and order and of course that's racist he used the phrase law and order it was a very specific choice of words there and that of course harkens back to richard nixon himself when he worked for although i think the use of that phrase predates your time there but why do you think barr is using that why do you think that is something the administration is leaning so heavily into. it's a code phrase that is if you have too much more than a dog whistle and you know it's very definite message. to the bass. i'm going to be
11:34 pm
talking and that's a point this needs taking it's not he's not nuts for wanting to restore law and order maybe if the media were to report on this the viewer might find this nuts at least 13 members of joe biden's campaign staff have donated to a fund that bails out those who riot that's right get them out of prison go ahead media report on this and let's take a vote of some sort let's see if the media favors bailing out those who riot or restoring law and order i think i know what would win we'll have more on all of this coming up in the desert segment. free speech and big tech goes together like what oil and water and many would say that since the coronavirus has gotten a lot worse last week the president signed an executive order to try to rein in his perceived bias on the social media platforms well natasha sweet has been taking it all in and she has the latest stephen these social media platforms receive
11:35 pm
a pass if you will through section 230 of the communications decency act but after the president was fact checked by twitter and facebook is acting as a news source instead of just a platform the president is now taking action and now conservatives are hoping their voice will no longer be silenced some would say there's a war and free speech when it comes to liberal platforms policing conservative ideals after twitter decided to fact check to a president trumps tweets saying they were partly false information he said enough is enough today abseiling executive order to protect it appalled the free speech rights of the american people president trump saying when social media platforms like twitter decide to suppress and it blacklist or shadow ban users content that these are mere editorial decisions and these moves reveal that twitter is indeed not a neutral public platform he says they. should no longer benefit from section 230 of the communications decency act that legislation currently protects internet platforms from liability who publish information provided by others it states no
11:36 pm
providers shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information but the president's executive order would no longer allow social media platforms to have immunity since they are not acting as a mere platform for all what they choose to fact check and what they choose to ignore or even promote is nothing more than a political activism group or political activism and it's inappropriate facebook's new oversight board just so happens to be packed full of liberals none of which support the president and at least 3 members have ties to leftist billionaire george soros so some are wondering if this oversight board will have any impact on what's being censored as we approach the upcoming 2020 election but according to an interview facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg did with c. and b. c. he changes his tune and says an internet platform should not limit what politicians have to say i think we've been pretty clear on what i think the right approach is
11:37 pm
which is that i don't think. facebook or internet forms in general should be arbiters of truth i think that's kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of deciding what is what is true and what isn't. and i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy well since 2016 these social media companies haven't just been serving as platforms they've been publishers you tube has recently been censoring content that disagrees with the world health organization facebook is working on their own news content and twitter is now claiming to fact check some are just wondering where is the media and all of this to help protect free speech reporting for in the press to talk to sweeps r t. joining us now to talk about all of this is the. sounder of less government seaton motley an adolescent for a young americans for liberty and the author by the way of the liberal invasion of
11:38 pm
red state america there it is on your screen kristen b. tate guys it's so great to see you both let's get it right right to it seat let's start with you you recently penned a piece this piece as a matter of fact on tech and censorship then last week of course the president he issued an executive order designed to remedy what you wrote about in effect will it work do you think. i have not what i'm hopeful for is that they actually finally started forcing section 230 they haven't been doing that the platform versus publisher debate has been raging for recently much louder but i've been writing about it for years now it's it's sexist to 38 of the ninety's when occasions easy act requires requires these platforms to be open which means they get protection from liability for libel and slander and intellectual property theft and
11:39 pm
exchange for not pretending to be publishers not editing contacts and maybe an editing content as you know steve for years and years almost exclusively concerned content or right wing content or christian god damn and now they're finally being called on it and being told i'm hoping you news executive order you have to comport to section 213 or you lose your liability protections under section 30. yet now it's very interesting and of course that the president also pushing for legislation and good luck with that because i think both sides want a different things chris and from your vantage point your perspective with young americans for liberty when your members when people in your generation see this censorship at such an alarming rate as it keeps apparently growing and growing what do you know and what do they think the future holds. well it is very alarming
11:40 pm
especially since the majority of young people get their news on social media oh no east social media platforms are overwhelmingly liberal it's the worst kept secret in silicon valley these facts trackers that these sites you are all after win with a few wrecks options that you know facebook twitter these are private companies not angels they should be allowed to operate as they please but as we've all been saying they cannot be treated as a as a platform it's got to be treated as a publisher what them compete with c.n.n. and fox news because frankly these sites are not operating as non-biased public sphere for discourse i will say this though steve i get very worried when we talk about the federal government interfering with social media and online it is a very slippery slope you know we have donald trump in office right now and we like what he's talking about but it just takes one liberal of marijuana lizabeth warner
11:41 pm
joe biden and that can be really bad if we give them power to act to control these companies so i like the idea of treating twitter has other companies as publishers not platforms but we've got to draw about why we're government can step in because that can get really bad really. our folks i hope we went your appetite i missed we have a lot more to talk about with both both seton and christian so stay right where you are there's much more ahead on eat the press. seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come to agitate and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground.
11:42 pm
the official of president of the f.c.c. the system cost of. the system designed for people like me who move. as bloodlust. do for the poor for different reasons but also job. most people in philadelphia are only about 2 paychecks away from home. because there's plenty of survival guide such a single malt to start simply to travel to service. he should know there are you
11:43 pm
going to get him back. oh heck no good repatriations look at the us a 7 years. bill to separate the treasury for. and welcome back to meet the press i'm steve malzberg and we're rejoined by our great panel continuing our conversation with kristen tate and steven motley now guys in what looked to be kind of a preemptive strike for of facebook a c.e.o. mark zuckerberg he tried separating himself from twitter by saying this just prior to the president's executive order last week watch i don't think. he spoke or thought forms in general should be arbiters of truth i think that's kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of i'm deciding what is what is true and what isn't and i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts and in
11:44 pm
a democracy and people should go to see what politicians say i no doubt see whoa is this guy i mean did he just appoint a supreme court to to censor everything and now he's saying this political speech shouldn't be censored and i get this right he's for the executive order so do you believe him. to seized on this before one memory had a member of facebook at a news feed for a while several years ago and they got rid of it they did cited it wasn't working for them and then all the x. employees came out and said oh by the way we shove conservative stories way down to the bottom of the news he's. trying to make up made good with conservatives he invited a bunch of conservative leaders out to value grover norquist where a bunch of bunch of people went. mad slapped it was credit the head of the american survey you did not go because he he got the joke but no. coverage is very good
11:45 pm
at saying the right while doing the wrong things and chris said do you believe. adding we should be very skeptical of course he's right that free speech is a killer of any free society but i mean for years his own web site censored conservatives so i take everything he says with a grain of salt but i think the best way we can ensure free speech on all these platforms if to encourage competition the dominant has got to make it as easy as possible for new players to get into the market and compete with the big guys you know if you look at pew research the vast majority of twitter users in particular are liberal half the country is conservatives so there is a huge market of people out there who watch. that isn't censoring their views and seems like a great opportunity for another company to offer something different for half the
11:46 pm
country who doesn't want just to be bombarded constantly with liberal opinions and get censored. well of course we saw what twitter did right after the executive order they had another trump tweet this one about the riots and what might happen as a result of those riots so they don't look like they're making nice but guys. to both of you the media seems to have this interest of vested interest but some might say in keeping the economy shut keeping us wearing masks everything and keep this a pandemic story how much saying it's not a story and it being at the forefront. kristen why what's their motivation you believe. me at this point is an arm of the democratic party each day are rooting for america. and sadly even seems like there is nothing they with more than to see the entire economy crashed you don't care who gets her in the process so that they can turn around and blame it on tom planned for the last and i mean
11:47 pm
stream media was to get somebody about this where russia investigation that went nowhere plan b. was to get him out of the ukraine investigations and failed impeachment thout know where their plans are you know is. not going to work either. seating about 1030 seconds. is she's exactly right this is there look this is grasping at straws but unfortunately because they control all the major. straw manufacturers the media hollywood silicon valley they can make the flimsiest of stories look very very serious for a very long to arm and we got that with russia certainly for years and now that's completely unraveled because the ukrainian call was weak and they got nowhere she's exactly right and they just because they're so powerful they can make nothing look like something for a long you know you have hate seeing and kristen thank you both so much it was
11:48 pm
a pleasure of will do this again thank you so here we. are. hi folks one of the things we do here every week on the press is point out you know the left leaning nature of the mainstream media and now a former president of c.b.s. news is weighing in and he says it's probably too late to fix that problem and we may just have to accept it and learn to live with it and joining us now to toss that around and much much more is media and legal analysts like no of line no media i like i don't let's get right to it my friend ben gordon souter who headed c.b.s. news back in the eighty's. writes this piece in the wall street journal and it says spin part 35 years ago i sit next to a jeane kirkpatrick a one time democratic became a foreign policy adviser to president reagan and she was lamenting what she called the liberal leaning media and as the president of c.b.s.
11:49 pm
news he said i assured it was just a liberal tilt and it could be corrected she said no no no it's too late and now he says kirkpatrick was prophetic news organizations that claim to be neutral have long been creeping leftward and they're loathe of mr trump has accelerated the pace i'm shocked but he's right on i would say what do you think. i don't want to be heretical steve but van gordon who now this is one of those things this is where people love to play the parlor game of you know there was a time in this country when we won is liberal steve it's gone in journalism the way he thinks is dead people are looking today for news unfortunately i don't think so you don't think so but this is one of the this is like arguing the travelling rule in the n.b.a. or foot faults in tennis yes you're right about this but he does bring up one thing
11:50 pm
which should get their attention this will affect the bottom line and that's what got their attention when he talks and to managing editors rather than to bring about some journalistic rule he says this will ultimately hurt you in the pocketbook book in the long run and that's why it's critical but but steve we all know this how many articles like this have you read and it was well done but but but apparently i think we're kind of tone deaf to this it's it's like when people talk about dietary information they know that it's but they enjoy just flashing that we've become so addicted to it so last week the president trump issued his executive order in an attempt to hold social media platforms accountable and end the bias against conservatives as in which exists in his mind and in the minds of many 1st will it work and legally with this section 230 will it stand up. ok executive order to stay believe it or not nobody knows what an executive order
11:51 pm
is don't tell anybody i don't want to but we're not really sure it's a double super secret probation it's nice executive orders they're good but it's a start but it was a shot of cost about number 2 what has to be done is his f.t.c. and department of justice if they were to institute get this anti trust prosecutions sherman and otherwise that would get their attention what he's doing steve is and they hope he needs to to changes and ask this question steve are lee's platforms in essence utilities can you imagine steve if you picked up your phone said something and all of a sudden your call was dropped because 80 and here sprint didn't like the subject matter you would say no that's ridiculous because the phone is in essence a utility it's like it's the dial tone we have to redefine what social media are today these aren't little cute bulletin boards or billboards that i've been in
11:52 pm
history that i've come up with this is critical once that is established it changes everything far far from it you're absolutely correct are itself curious ago you and i talked about a lawsuit against fox news yesterday that somehow far it wasn't entitled to follow 1st amendment protections because they weren't over the air t.v. they were cable television and you had to subscribe to it cetera et cetera well that lawsuit is over and fox when's and it reminds us steve this people should refer to this it was a state court case which is nonetheless just as valid but steve this is another on really lending attack against the 1st amendment to try to come up with new ways and i applaud it i mean it's most novel but the judge cites back the case where the supreme court ruled in. that stolen valor statues were were unconstitutional
11:53 pm
because you can't even lie i said that to to regulate what a law is is so difficult even so big a simple haves as were you in the military or not steve this is a warning they're not don and this is law fair not warfare going after conservative and non rule left ideology through the courts that's what this is about but luckily common sense prevailed here at least what what a way to end the segment common sense prevailed when will it be able to say that against our national thank you very very much my friend appreciate it as always. several weeks ago i introduced you to c.n.n.'s chris cuomo who let his audience to believe that he emerged from his coronavirus quarantine this way all right here's your fish british police. career c.d.c. who will swear this worked out and. this is where you know literally for
11:54 pm
weeks of course it turned out that he was out and about with his family days before that so that was nothing but fake news now i wish that was the worst of what i could show you about chris cuomo but it's not not by a long shot it seems that he's been encouraging or at least excusing violence as long as the violence is being perpetuated by people who have the so-called moral high ground and this goes back a ways watch 2 wrongs and what is right the bigots are wrong to hit anti for whomever anarchist or malcontent or misguided they are also wrong to hit but fighting hate is right doesn't cuomo get it all sides believe they have the moral high ground that they are right now that was 2 years ago but unfortunately during these terrible times we're living
11:55 pm
through right now cuomo is still at it encouraging in my humble opinion encouraging violence as long as you're in the right watch doesn't make it ok to riot says the majority but doesn't it depend why it's happening a riot in boston harbor started the fight that amounted to america cities burned across the continent in 1968 again of stonewall and each of those cases it was the minority manifesting a desperate plea to be heard and for change just like now of course we really shouldn't be too surprised you see chris cuomo is a tough guy that's c.n.n. anchor man chris cuomo lashing. out at a trump supporter who insulted him down the stairs and. you see i think chris cuomo envies the writers would love to be one so what do americans want to do they agree with chris cuomo now the leftists on the air who are giving their point of view or do they want law and order to take back their streets well according to
11:56 pm
a morning console survey conducted may 31st through june 1st the media loses big time just 18 percent of voters oppose calling in the national guard to supplement city police forces while 72 percent support the measure that included 42 percent who strongly supported doing so another 58 percent supported calling in the u.s. military to assist while just 30 percent opposed it chris cuomo you are in the minority you rationalize and you excuse violence as long as you like the cause the people want their streets back and they want that back now. and that's our show for today folks and i want you to stay hungry and say curious because the show really airs sunday morning 1030 eastern time and you could also watch a full shows right now on portable t.v. through our portable t.v. and download it right now from your app store and steam balls berg stay safe and

11:58 pm
take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. led. you know number one the capitals and united states we all slow number one. way to do. i mean the mug shot before. the most. evil you selling crack rock or you got a weekend jump shot in order to exclaim. you

12:00 am
a corruption inside the police well they think. hello and welcome to crossfire all things are considered i'm peter labelle the spiral down word depending on who you believe in the media the civil unrest in america is the result of systematic racism this explains protests and rioting but it does it the commanding heights controlling the financial system media and the business world are loath to admit it it's the economy stupid for them race always.
