hello everyone let's take a look at today's menu to see what we're serving up and eat the press rely on their minds and their c.n.n. to enjoy the ride the fence black suspects fighting with police and taking their weapons. we've got that can't be good advice we'll have more contests c.e.o. was confronted on m s n b c s slanted coverage of the minneapolis riots it is not generally speaking on really inspires that you started well let's hear it and talk with the man who put the top man on the hot seat don't matter about the long. it's about. being able to tilt the show trial by media it's

a new series on netflix and it raises a lot of relevant issues for this show we'll speak with one of the featured defense attorneys and the media uses a stroll down a ramp and a drink of water to quote unquote prove that donald trump is ill while his opponents multiple missteps and misspeaks the good go unreported i'm steve malzberg let's see the press. oh yeah oh. easy. to buy. let's face it folks at least in my opinion right now not only does the media have no use for donald trump they don't have much use for the police either and that was never more evident than tuesday night on the network newscasts when they covered the story of donald trump's exact. you know border on police reform

watch but the president spent most of his remarks defending law enforcement with pressure mounting to address excessive force by police departments president trump took the unusual step of surrounding himself with police officers today and the president used his speech today less as a conversation about racial bias in policing and more as a rally supporting officers still the president is strongly defending police and blasting calls to de-fund them as radical and dangerous thanks to the media research center for that montage so if you still don't get it review the media doesn't like donald trump he's more you know george lincoln rockwell than abraham lincoln in his behavior george lincoln rockwell was the founder of the american nazi party ok so they all like and they don't like the police either some of them if we can use diplomacy and deescalation with respect to the north koreans who had

nuclear arms why can't we teach police departments the use deescalation with respect to on arms got it so trumps a nazi and the police alike the north korean regime wonderful which brings us to the tragic shooting in atlanta of rashard brooks now the media is conflating that incident with what happened in minneapolis to george flawed and they're simply not the same watch. i thought but not stop because they're going to hold up with there are probably going to if the right is not relevant how does a. resisting arrest fighting with the police officer stealing the taser firing the taser not like what happened to george. florida was murdered in my opinion not like it at all

but here is some typical media reaction you know i heard it since guy who was a good friend of mine and who i appreciate and i'm glad he's in the room for police reform and i heard he said that this one is not as clear and you know i just disagree with him i mean it's another black man dead in the streets and so this is as clear as you can you can get it was murder period point blank period this was a glaring exception to the coverage george was in handcuffs he was on the ground he was under and officers need for almost 9 minutes in this case there was a potentially dangerous crime he was drunk driving and i guess what i see he was hired out and that's not fair that neil was asleep and car he ran and he realized that he didn't live there that's why i didn't say that taser he was trying to find that because every time i don't find that lee guy allison camerata is

exactly right there are many differences between the cases of george floyd and ray shart brooks and kudos to her for breaking with the media narrative on this as for angela rye she should be not only ashamed of herself she needs to be taken to task and that's what i think i'm doing right here to advocate attacking police fighting with police running from police stealing their weapons and claiming that if you don't you'll die no she has to know the opposite is true if you do all that you have a chance of winding up dead shame on angela rye what she said is irresponsible and dangerous and again she needs to be called out and we just did that. were these 2 tweets herself from the president and one may 1st one may 29th the may 20 may 1st one where he says the governor of michigan should give a little and put out the fire these are very good people but they are angry the 29th one of course dealing with black folks these thugs artists honoring the memory

of sorts floyd won't let that happen. right that's m s n b c host kendra skips in implying that tweets from the president one referring to the peaceful protests in michigan from the people who want to open their their state in their cities and the other referring to the riots in minneapolis that the president's tweets were based on race and not actual circumstances on the ground well that's m s n b c and our next guest tried to get some answers from the head of contest which of course owns m s n b c n n b c justin dan hall is general counsel and director of the free enterprise project at the national center for public policy research welcome sir. it's my pleasure i want to give the folks a few more examples of what's been going on over to miss n.b.c. in their coverage of the protest of the riots watch to be clear in how i

characterize the interest of the mostly the programs and i think it is not it is not generally speaking on really aspires to be started and so many good people out there who want change and who are demanding change discount people who are doing things to public property that said hey you should be doing. all right so tell us talk about what what we've been seeing there. so you know allie bell she has been running you know the nighttime coverage live from the ground to be out with us and you showed those infamous clear him you know as remember her and see settling in front of the camera right. but the whole network really for you know just saw and has just been giving cover to looters rioters arsonists those that are desecrated ing places of worship historian landmarks they really have just been given coverage of this and it's it's worse than that and that resident rightly says yes yes he is

involved and makes c.d.n. with protesters he's absolutely right on that but even at n.s.a. you see them pushing back on that 3rd giving cover to him and they're going cover to an organization that is burning buildings to the ground and so as a shareholder of a car cass we went to the virtual shareholder meeting this year and i asked brian roberts some very specific questions i said and i don't read we have we have that and i want to get to that so describe in the new you know how you get your questions ask you you've got to shareholder meetings with disney and other companies but let's focus on the comcast one and you got to ask a question how do you get to ask a question. so you know free enterprise we engage with backward actors to try and change their behavior and so we have a portfolio of stock that was always because companies have to lose their

shareholders and this is the the avenue that we use we invest in these companies to try and alter their behavior because so many companies are so bad in the culture wars you're the guy and when it comes to media these large conglomerates like 80 and 80 we invest in all because they're biased and they're big news really does a tremendous amount of harm to our body politic and our public discourse here in the states. let me let's play for the folks the question that you submitted that was read to the chairman of and c.e.o. of comcast ferreted. evoluting sean the farm to the ground in minneapolis actually which were completed our so-called journalist and the sunday. 'd and then sunday c host alito should be disappointing potentially again to cool. light on the air he exclaimed but better or

much more call in minneapolis to my. leadership for all. people are convinced just the talking heads that m.s.n. b.c. . i love that i'd love to have seen the expression on his face but here is robert's answer. the news coverage. or risk of personal harm and injury and some cases loss of life or journalists continues to be one of the. most important parts of n.b.c. news and for that matter comcast n.b.c. universal. and so by and large i think the coverage continues to inform and educate our society and. that specific clip i have not seen. but thank you for your comments and we will continue to strive to inform the american public. not

a very good answer but you've got an answer and that's what you do and then kudos to you we've got a less than a minute but go ahead. think so the england nation for folks when companies are bad actors whether it's the media or whether it's nice you know written down a bit you rush you to disengage from that company but that is the wrong approach when you see a backward actor and there are so many in the culturally important america that are actors each with them should get in their face and get the answers roberts can't even defend his own company because these people will never be asked tough questions but as an investor you have a right to question these corporations and that's what i recommended folks you come to a national standard or reach out to me i can teach you all how to do it it's the law and you get to deal with some of the most powerful companies in the world and actually affect you a change now that i love and you can call. your guy finish up

national center dot org and quickly. we're on twitter at national center and i want to just reach out. all right great to talk to you sir keep up the good work. well lou thanks to a. trial by media what does that mean exactly well it's a new documentary series on netflix and it explore some high profile cases and it shows how the defense attorneys actually have maybe both sides trying to use the media to influence their cases we will have one attorney from one of those featured cases coming up to join us to explain how all this works that's coming up next right here on eat the press.

you cannot be both with me yet you want. nuclear power so become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t.

. odd no 2 no crow. no shots no. action well to be. struck over those 3. points your thirst for action. trial by media sounds interesting. it's right into the show doesn't it well it's a new series on netflix and argues the tosh a swede is here with more just one kind of influence does the media have while that issue may be up for debate netflix has released a new documentary looking at just what kind of impact media attention had on some

high profile cases got to come up with ways to become part of the news cycle trial by media is one of netflix's latest releases when looking at the influence the media had on high profile cases the documentary takes a look into how the attorneys suspects and defendants all tried to manipulate the media to sway the jury before the trial even began the series gives horrific examples of how turned a court case into a primetime special had irreversible damage in the episode big dance the trial was on live t.v. and the identity of the rape victim was accidentally blasted all over the news this lead to other victims across the country no longer want to come forward for fear of exposed another case revealed how the media idolized an unknown shooter a fourteen's he claimed were trying to mug him the newspapers called him a hero the subway vigilante and when he finally came forward the city of new york became torn by the media coverage trying to decide if the new york vigilante was

a man who was sticking up for himself or were driven by racial bias the docu series also shows where the media went wrong in failing to humanize their story when a young immigrant is shot by police while standing in his own doorway the only headlines published would focus on the $41.00 shots police fired leading to his death but the media had no interest in who he actually was the protests rage for the entire trial all 4 police officers were eventually found not guilty and a democratic governor was punished for trying to use the media to his advantage before his trial when he was accused of trying to sell barack obama's senate seat even though the evidence was. inconclusive at best the judge try to make an example out of him for trying to run a platform of corruption and then flirting with the line of backdoor politics however his run with the limelight is eventually what saved him rod blagojevich

actually appeared on season 3 of celebrity apprentice with donald trump before his trial the now president commuted his 14 year prison sentence just months ago the documentary also shows the evolution of america's obsession with court t.v. well it did die down for several years after the height of the o.j. simpson trial there was a reemergence of court t.v. just last year and of course all of these crime documentaries the parian on streaming services to show what an interest it still has reporting for the press the process waits r.t. . ok one of the cases not mentioned by natasha in her piece which aired last month is titled king richard and it's the 2005 case involving richard scrushy and joining us to discuss the case and the strategy when it came to attempting to possibly manipulate the media to the advantage of his client is defense attorney jim parkman jim welcome sir welcome back you so much for having me on this is great

it's about it's my pleasure give give the folks the elevator version of of the case that you defended for mr. yes mr crow she was the founder and c.e.o. . of a national corporate sure known as health south corporation which was a rehabilitation inpatient outpatient service and it was known in all the 50 states that they had it all there but he got indicted. own the 1st sarbanes oxley charges well it's $36.00 counts of fraud involving a 3600000 dollars 1000000000 dollar for all with the corporation and then we went to trial and so it was the 1st and last. names oxley case that they are they didn't charge any others after that. right and i think he was acquitted but then charged with something else and eventually went to jail he's out of jail the whole thing ok now one member of one quote that you know from the episode is

when you say in your opening statement to the jury something my grandma used to tell me that a pancake has 2 sides so there's 2 sides every sorry you then it needed to be the the person a doing the netflix interview with you that that's that's made up that you know your grandmother never told you that but she could have told you at any well oms about using that. you. know who is a matter of fact i have been using that 'd for 40 years and they told me on the show of course to be honest they asked me the question and. i have to admit i thought about lying but i went ahead and made it that 'd i had made that up and that my grandmother had never said that but you're right she could i am. right so let me ask you because this is at the to me a common sense question that anybody watching us now would would probably say we're

supposed to have a jury system where when the jurors a selected they say that they don't know anything about the case or that haven't been influenced and then while they're jurors whether they're sequestered or not they're not supposed to watch the media coverage of the case or read or hear anything about it so how does influencing the media spin if you will how does that or does it affect the jury in any way do you believe i think it does but i think it falls into 2 categories i think the 1st category is trying to get across your message trying to get across a good relationship with the public before 2 juries they've been selected been you come into the trial itself so with that i think you got to spend certain things that happened during the trial that day which you can't talk about because it's public record and i think you have to come out with the media and try to let people know that in reality thanks rick or pretty good for and that you know we're having

a good day here and if you keep that up and keep that up hopefully you know people will start getting the idea that they maybe things really are going pretty good for you despite the fact that 'd going into the trial the odds were not very good for us of even winning that case. so let's let's take this to of course the focal point of everybody right now and that's the 4 police officers involved in the death of course that the tragic death of george floyd the murder the murder of george floyd . how hard is this going to be i mean obviously public opinion is and media coverage has shaped this already one way is this possibly setting up a huge disappointment the upping of the charges to 2nd degree murder and how can the defense if you are the attorney representing i know they're different cases with

a different officers but generally shirking how could you when the media of or public opinion over to your side in this case. well i think what you have to do show to diversifying is you have to can get to where the media kind of likes the lawyer you have to be honest with the maid yet you can't tell them a lot and then it come out later on a tryout so you've got to be straightforward with them you've got to be honest with them and you've got to be able to sight of them you know kind of what is your defense going to be where are you going to go with yes yes the media is going to have an effect on this and several different aspects one it's going to have an effect because it's going to probably get rid of a lot of jurors that probably had a fans would want make get rid of a lot of jurors that the prosecution would want because they heard something about the case they form their opinions you know we won't jurors to come in and i'd do any white that have common sense well to have common sense you've got to have 'd

some kind of a relationship with the press and watching the press and going oh what's happening in the world well you're getting a lot of people who are on there that if they are going go with what's going on in the world and listening the problem is they may be boss they're going to be upset you're going to end up with a bunch of people say that just don't pay attention to what's happening in the world which remains are they really and focus with what's happening in society today and what i want more to be said to get. one word answer us here but one word and as of today any of these cops get off one word answer yes or no no no ok sir thank you it's been a pleasure and i hope you'll come back very interesting stuff rest thank you very much i mean joe what has been great. so if you heard the latest from the media some are calling it ramp gate that's right they're using it to claim that the president is physically ill mentally ill totally ill and it's all because of this this is the

president at the west point graduation last weekend looks pretty normal to me a man walking albeit gingerly down a narrow steep staircase or ramp but what do i know then there was this the president taking a drink of water but using one hand to push the hand holding the glass up to his face well that must mean he's a sick sick man with apologies to billy joel the new york times the daily nudes now please note this same media couldn't give a darn when in 2016 when hillary was running for president she did this. come. too much saying. and.

and she did that a lot folks during the campaign a lot media couldn't care less they also couldn't care less when on september 11th of 016 hillary appeared to pass out while getting into her s.u.v. and of course the man whose health really needs scrutiny here in 2020 with regard to the presidential campaign it's joe biden and again the media doesn't care my name is joe biden i'm a democratic. and then for united states senate look we over here like receive help out of nabo if you have to buy give me a look though ok make sure the television to make sure you have a record player on a night of the phone and stories up on the board one last message they asked are you off the board rock about to drag you off. to be self-evident all men were created by go you know that you know the thing and there are tons more

examples i could give you folks now washington post columnist henry olsen put it this way rant gate is all about media bias. and that's our show for today folks i want you to stay hungry and stay curious and you can watch full shows of the press anytime you like i just downloading our portable the app and check it out download it right now if you don't have it at your store i missed her see you next hour arrests. in the troubled 19 seventies a group. of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks on the

population of tens of thousands for forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the r.u.c. the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of presenting they were active participants in the burning of schools streets in belfast i think more than a 100 innocent civilians when. i was there if you can see news and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and the take rates which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to be named. very top i think.

this is all about bailing out the banks on wall street and why because they are the biggest contributors and owners of the fed this is bailing itself out. all these stocks the fed has all these loans the fed owns all these bonds when it prints money. it's to keep. money for itself and by the way who's a huge shareholder in all this nightmare jay powell jay powell was bailing himself out why can't people who are underwater on their mortgages or just been laid off in america simply print money to bail themselves out like jay powell is printing money to bail them out that's not right is it.

other than those. on the going to the brooklyn system so that. you need. to. soldiers. she's wearing. huge which to the. opposing opinion with. some russian police force.

54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. 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 the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where.
