z23wlz z5yz y23wly y5yy president obama and donald

they are both ripping the news media. >> it's all about ratings. >> really a terrible group of people. >> trust in media dropped to a record low. we break it down with former anchor john wilson. >> with trump's focus on law and order. charley looks at violent crime with the men who do hard time. a new poll that spells bad news for hillary clinton just as she gets back to wo. new concerns about airline security and travel to cuba. this is money, power & politics. journists shine the light and keep politician honest. a new study shows americans trust in the news media dropped to an all time low. we'll start by explaining why people are losing faith in journalists. part of it goes right back to politics and both parties ripping the media for different

fires. that's what folks watch. it's about ratings. >> you like the media. give them a hand. if you don't give them a big boo. (booing) >> i had a feeling. >> well, journalists strive to teach, e lum nate and inspire the community. the news media can always do better. journalists are caught in a cross fire. democrats and republicans are accusing too soft on one side or the other. first president obama with a case against the media that turned off democrats. >> there are serious issues at stake in this election. behind all the frivolous stuff that's covered every day. i sure do get frustrated with the way this campaign is coming. >> the president accused journalists of pandering to donald trump for ratings. which would drive democrats to dislike the media. >> guys in the back.

how i feel about this. do you mind if i vent for a second? [cheering] >> obama made the case the news media enabled trump is therefore responsible for his rise in politics by not asking tough questions or holding him accountable. >> the electorate would be better served if that happened. if it came with serious accountability. >> trump dominated news coverage since last summer. obama framed much as gossip of journalism. >> to probe and question and dig deeper and demand more. >> that argument is trump is getting a pass has driven a lot of democrats to lose faith in the media. at the same time, republicans are listening to trump who is saying the media is too tough on him. so they lose faith in the media, too. it's sort of like the ghost in sixth sense. they only see what they want to see and the media gets caught in the squeeze. >> the press is very, very

>> to trumps point while he's received a fortune worth of media coverage, much painted him in a negative light. >> that's a typical case of the press with misinterpretation. >> from his lack of awareness of foreign policy to business bankruptcies to claims he ripped off students at trump university. reporters have been digging into donald trump quite a bit and trump does not like it. >> they are scum. so bad. so illegitimate. they are just terrible people. pretty good percentage is really a terrible group of people. >> so, if journalists feel they didn't just do it by rolling over as president obama claims. they fired up his base by piling on with accusations they cannot fully prove. >> you have to see this guy. i don't know what i said. i don't remember. >> case in point. headline trump mocks reporter with disability. the new york times and others convicted him though trump insisted he dead not know the reporter he was quoting was disabled.

looked trump mocked a disabled man he's so animated you could claim he's mocking ping-pong players or people with vertigo or choking on dinner. while soft coverage appears to turn off one side. harsh media coverage appears to have turned off the other. each side tends to follow perspective that fits their world views so they don't see where the other side is coming from. we've seen a deeper dip in republican faith in the media. distrust of media that goes beyond trump. >> democrats from is superpact called the mainstream media. [whistling] >> this b-s coming from the lame stream media. >> republican distrust took off with richard nixon. >> i have never heard or seen such outrageous, vicious, distorted reporting in 27 years of public life.

his war policy in vietnam. he dispatched his vice president to declare war on the mainstream media. >> people of this country have the rigight to make up the own minds and form their own opinions about a presidential address without having the president's words and thoughts characterized through the prejudices of hostile critics before they can even be digested. >> nixon rallied what he called a silent majority to challenge media critics and drive his journalists challenged him an took him down later over water gate. nixon framed it as a media frenzy and it stuck long after nixon. now that distrust is amplified with trump's claims that the media is, what did he say? >> they are scum. absolute scum. remember that. scum. >> yeah. well in the second half of the show, we drill into trump's economic and trade pos, big speech today and with a he and

we examine rubios warning that flights from tampa to cuba could be the target of terrorists. but first on the subject of the news media. i asked john wilson to join us for his $0.02. >> this is john wilson's my view now. >> all right. time for john wilson my view fou. so let's start with president obama criticizing the political media for not going harder after donald trump. you have donald trump saying the media going too hard after him. who has it right? >> president obama has that one right. the media needs to focus on donald trump. as they need to be doing on hillary clinton, as well. she was asked a series of questions. one after the other about one subject. the media now gets focused on one subject, seldom goes onto a followup. challenge these candidates with three and four followup questions but you need to be calling them out on it and it

wallace to do that. >> with hillary clinton. >> with hillary clinton. i would like to see the same done with donald trump. that needs to be done with donald trump. but you can't let him get off on these generalized statements he keeps make about how he would make things happen. how are we going to afford this? how do you car are i this out? he gets off easy. i don't know why it is, craig. here he is daily target of the media. they should be able to f him without getting thrown out of a meeting and really get some -- try to get some answers. we still don't have the answers. where's the media on this? i don't know. >> well, one of the tools that donald trump uses or tack is to vilify the media. which is distrusting the media to begin with. not necessarily for bad reason sometimes. >> it took and interview in the a studio with chris wallace and hillary clinton to get to the bases of her campaign.

but you're right. the proponents of each of the candidates will come after you. i know that intimidates the media. i don't want to be in a crowd like that and i know you don't either. direct questions with followups have to be asked. >> i follow your post on social media. one of my favorites you went after some nationl tv news people for saying, down there in florida. why? >> i'm tired of people referring to us as down there. talking about electoral votes and impacts on elections. but to keep calling us like we're in some other continent, down there. i want to say, wait a minute. we're all watching tv. we're all on the same wavelength. we're all in the same time zones for the most part even though we're in separate time zones.

reality is now. so when you say down there it's like where is down there? >> considering himself lucky to have john wilson. thank so much. >> thank you. >> coming up. >> charley leduff looks at what causes violent crime from

good morning. flight 387. >> jet blue launched a new age of travel last month. the first commercial flight from south florida to cuba. >> cuba was this mysterious island so close to us yet could have been mars because we couldn't go. we couldn't visit and see the beauty of that island. >> now southwest is planning commercial flights from tampa to cuba. but ou government just admits there flights yet. contradicting a prior statement from the tsa. the administration has not finalized an air security deal with cuba. they agreed to a plan but the cuban government has not signed. rubio said that could make the flights to cuba a target for terrorist and he's furious. >> today lied. they told us these flights would not begin until they reached an agreement to have air marshals and other measures in place.

happening. >> so what does this mean? well, rubio does not have the power to suspend flights on his own and congress is gridlocked and can't do much of anything. but this will put more pressure on the u.s. to finalize this deal. if not, it could at least slow expansion and demand for commercial air travel to cuba. now onto the race. we have big changes tonight in a new fox 13 poll. we're tracking the battleground states and remember how we told you the r in georgia? not nem. check out the fox 13 poll numbers. trump just a shot ahead of hillary clinton 46% to 42% in georgia. trump has the support of # 2% of african americans in that state in our poll and leads significantly among independent voter. our pollster says he expects florida to vote the same way as georgia based on the patterns he's seeing across the two

in florida trump pulled ahead in florida. the big one ohio. this picking the winner going back to the 60s. for now it also is tilting in trump's favor. matt tour ri will join us tomorrow night with new numbers. early today larry saboto summed up what is happening. >> hillary clinton has had problems. that's what changed. her problems cut some of her support. >> focusing on law and order. railing against violence. promising to restore order. on that note charley leduff traveled to the nations largest jail to meet the man accused of very bad things and fiend out where they went wrong. ? ? >> cooke county, illinois. the largest jailhouse in america.

where seven in ten are black. >> black, black, brown, brown, black... you're right. >> three in ten are skrikt patients. two in ten are charged for drugs. >> what did they get you for? >> "[bleep]" >> one in ten is charged with murder. some of these men wait years for trail. they are nine supermax. (chatter) >> what "[bleep]" is wrong out there that so many of you in here? >> jobs, everything. lack of unity. that's why. >> lack of trust.

fathers in their lives so they are brokenhearted. they start going to the streets. blacks why we hurt each other. because of the lack of education. the lack of unity. the lack of trust that's why. >> a lot of us grew up around negativity. we got involved in stuff we wouldn't know nothing about. >> instead of heating one another another. that's what they were trying to show us. martin luther king. but a lot of people didn't take that until they calm in here. >> start going about the bible. trusting the lord with all our heart. >> coming up. see how trump and clen ton cam pair in terms of health. evan breaks down what we know and don't know about their

i think america should feel more comfortable with the help of its candidates today than yesterday. >> so you have a reality show doctor saying they are okay to him. what more can you say? spl i can say there's a long history of presidents and illnesses and health issues that have been covered in the media. some of them hidden and some of them not hidden. which first? >> let's start with jimmy carter collapsing during the marathon or bush throwing up in

you have a relatively healthy president but then you have others who are unhealthy and it didn't showment >> not only did it not show but they worked at hiding it. all of this doesn't mean hillary clinton is hiding it. we're not suggesting that. what we can say is john f. kennedy had addisons disease for a long time. he lived almost every day in pain according to his brother. woodrow wilson if you go back 90 years or a hundred years at this point. he had a white house while president and his wife ran the white house for several months and managed to keep woodrow wilson hidden at rest in bed while she ran the show. >> we don't want that. >> no. >> we want the president to be healthy enough to do the job. where do you draw the line? what do voters have a right to know and not necessarily no? >> the number one thing is can this person be trusted to

chance to do the job that day and wake up tomorrow to do the job. you can't look at two 70-year-old individuals and say they are guaranteed anything in life at 70. things start to happen. 68 and 70 years old. we have to look at their health records, not just a summary. we should see their health records and it's relevant to know. the future of our country is going to be in one of their two hands over the next several months. >> the clintons case the doctor says she's but that one moment in time can dog her well beyond that week. >> it can. one reason is a political gaffe isn't just necessarily a mistake. it's something that plays into the narrative that your opponent created for you. so when donald trump tried to define hillary clinton as e crooked hillary, he can use this to say he wasn't up front about it. she admitted she didn't tell the public for several days.

line that's where these type of gaffes get difficult to navigate. she's going to hope to change the sjt. that's why we've seen some of the tweets and responses to some of the things the trump campaign said. >> evans corner. thank you. i love it it's been too long. >> good to be back. >> thank you. >> coming up. new fox 13 poll numbers and changes on the election map. come into steak 'n shake for hand-dipped milkshakes. better yet, come into steak 'n shake for hand-dipped milkshakes at half price during half-price happier hour, weekdays, now two to five at steak 'n shake. new at steak 'n shake! 24 meals under four dollars. with handcrafted steakburgers, all-beef footlongs and fresh guacamole made from scratch. get 24 meals for under four dollars.

let's start with tonights new fox poll across the nation. it is showing a tie. clinton at 41% and trump at 40% johnson at 8%. out of the mix in terms of debate. this is happening because hillary clinton has been off the the campaign trail for three days. had some health concerns initially. that did not deplorables remark. donald trump has momentum but the cards are stacked against him state by state in the electoral college. new predictions tomorrow night

i'm really good at war. i love war in a certain way. including with nukes, yes including with nukes. nuclear, just the power the devastation, is very important to me. i want to be unpredictable, unpredictable, unpredictable, unpredictable.
