we need journalism more than ever. the traditional role of journalists have, it's been weekend and all kinds of ways. i think we really are looking at some kind of press. the second message was, i think it has to be better. just like everything. nothing survives unless it is the internet, i think journalism and thinking about it sometimes struggle with the trust. some people aren't actually turning to journalism as widely as they should. i think we have to square up to the feelings we have. >> what is the biggest of journalism today? >> it's not big enough. you're making gigantic generalizations. there's journalism that is mechanisms. you're sitting along that. when i was writing this book, it's the most consequential decision people make. as a citizen, what i wanted was them to recognize this issue and is a look, there are two sides that this is going to reliant. if you make a good decision and all that, that's not what they've done. most journalism screams bullying, multitude. we've now arrived in a position in which

that i do recall we call it narrative journalism. the longer stories it says kind of stories that drew me to journalism. people's lives are being deeply impacted by those things that are happening in the country. and also maybe people are paying enough attention to those places. ts,s, i go and i spend a lot of time and i learn about people whose experiences are very different than my own. people reading about them might understand o other people and other experiences that are very different from their own. this is what i hope to get to continue to do. emma to take a little bit of issue towards the end of the remarks. she views herself as somebody who presents all sides of the story. the highest calling for a journalist not to tell you readers what to think. but to empower them to come to an informed conclusion and if coming to this conclusion means informing them they are simply not correct. that's part of it. i will just simply say just a journalist is to take a hard look at the norms of mainstreamna journalism. the embedded which i

today, when i teach journalism and anybody teaches journalism, the textbooks emphasize reporting the five ws. you need to report the who, what, where, when and why. but prior to then, the rule for general working reporters was the four ws, just who, what, where and when, and the why, that wasn't supposed to be touched. that was the province of editorial writers and columnists and maybe if you were lucky enough to write an article for the sunday review section. but most articles were meant to focus just on the facts and not try to explain why. so what happened, what caused this shift to more analysis, more interpretive reporting? i argue in the book there were two main factors. one was the technology factor again, the rise of tv news, which prior to 1963, was only 15 minutes each evening and even after that, it wasn't in too much depth. and so tv news could provide headlines and sound bites but really not much else. so for newspapers to stay relevant, they had to provide something more. the other main factor in the growth of interpretation and analysis was the rise of a certain demago

think ofo you television journalism? >> i would be the last one to ask, because i stopped watching much. but i -- >> when did you stop watching? >> oh, in the last year, year half. ofike the business channels cnbc. you know, it's what everybody says. mostly extravagant exaggeration. it's not really where the american people are. it's entertainment obviously. little bit concerned that there are some impressionable who take stuffe too seriously, like people who go into synagogues and send mail to democrats, that sort of thing. but i think on the whole, it's just an entertainment business now. >> october 19. you wrote, america has yet to inke stock of what happened 2016. and the strange circumstances the frequently loudish mr. trump an instrument for refreshing our political culture, a place to start is recognizing his singular making newn of things savable. >> well, that is true. to question nato, which was so sacrosanct. to put that -- the truth is, we have alliances with countries that no longer have militaries. we're ba

journalism. and both the opportunity we have, but also the challenge to get that out there. and i think there was a new realism about the conditions we're facing that's actually in some ways daunting, but in some ways healthy for all of us in journalism. >> there's so many websites following your lead. the website has had a pay wall for many years where you have to pay to read the news. all of these websites are now launching scripti ining subscri. cnn's parent company, now at&t, at&t took over earlier this year. now at&t is putting up a big streaming service, launching in 2019. disney's doing that. so in both news and entertainment, we're seeing more and more of this model, relying less on advertising, and more on scriptio subscription. >> i think people almost feel embarrassed when we said, all content wants to be free and this is going to liberate us. it seems highly naive in retrospect. in the industry, but also readers, which i think explains part of the success we and others are having with

now there are 2.5 million journal subscribers.e have to attend to what they are interested in pretty closely. host: why don't you read twitter? guest: i do not have time. i thought about it early. i signed up. i sent a few tweets. but i realized it could be a time suck. what kind of impact do you think it has when the president tweets and that people are tweeting? guest: i think it is magnificent for the president to be able to control the nation's agenda without being able to get out of his bathrobe in the morning. he can get up in the middle of the night and send a tweet and that is all we are going to be talking about the next day. i have encouraged them to stop doing that. but it is a powerful tool. "finally we come to the compulsive splitting of all things and people between good and bad. it is seen as a symptom of borderline personality disorder. to such people as often seems the central purpose of mental life. now it's widely understood to be the way of the human brain." guest: the first two things come from psychology. , a

are in on the out but we are watching it unfold in front of our eyes is the criminalization of journalism. across talking julian assange which i'm joined by my guest joe lauria in washington he's editor in chief of consortium news dot com and author of how i lost my hillary clinton with a forward by julian assange also in washington we have gareth porter he's an independent investigative journalist and historian as well as author of manufactured crisis the untold story of the around nucular scare and in plymouth we cross to patrick and he is a journalist writer and founder of the news website twenty first century wired dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it and i to open up by saying thanking all three of you to come here to speak out on the behalf of the profession known as journalism. it's pretty scarce profession at least. acted out in the live by professionals so i'm glad that you're here gareth let me go to you first and let's talk about journalism because julian a songe is his case his case study a

by professionals so i'm glad that you're here gareth let me go to you first and let's talk about journalism because julian a songe is his case his case study as it were is a precedent in the making and it really galls me that the profession cannot see the slippery slope that we're all staring down at once it happens to julian assange as a publisher then who's next go ahead gareth. well i can't agree anymore with what you said it's clear that songe is on the block here in a way that is extremely dangerous to the profession of journalism. because it would in fact. i think you just suggested it would set a precedent for the u.s. government to go after journalists under a wide range of circumstances. as long as they can portray somebody as somehow connected with the enemy whatever that enemy might happen at the moment. yeah you know i think that that is indeed the issue that we're staring in the face here joe you did a wonderful interview with chris hedges and i commend everyone. to watch it as i think was absolutely brilliant explain to us how the espionage act could play out these of julian a

and what happening in journalism. it goes from being an american journalist to foreign to protection to making you a target met their life. >> it's not really a follow-up but i have another question. i wondered how, if you could talk more about how she influenced the generation of female reporters, there's the marie colvin network of journalists and i just wondered how her work has been influenced so many other female journalists particularly. >> she was influential in the sense that when marie started to work for the sunday times, she had come from services with a -- why am telling the story. the new york times, you would never write, i saw -- you take off this reporter saw a reporter saw. marie didn't do that. she used it personalized. she was recognize her self, or -- she never did that. i saw this. this man told me this. she put herself in the story. this is a very commonplace now. everybody does that now. but they didn't when marie started to do it. that is also this issue of learning the boundaries. there was an

i was interested in journalism in college, i just liked language. and majored in english and french and got a masters in english. i liked poetry. i did like rock concert reviews but i was not a news junkie by any stretch. >> host: first job? >> guest: my first journalism job. >> host: about the mall. >> guest: it was for the queen's chronicle. what is horrible about new york is you can live in new york but you have to take so many jobs before you can actually work in new york so i had to work in greenwich and abu dhabi and dc. it takes a long time to work as a journalist in new york. >> host: your career path, networking, trying to make things happen, people just call? how did it come together? >> guest: i would go to journalismjobs.com. the main thing you have to have is a car. journalist salary, you do not pay for your car. we drive around queens or whatever, and there was a moment, the old journalism path. i did the community board meeting in the middle of the night and is gone. and an internship at the village voice in the middle of that path an

that's a failure of journalism. the reason why it is so dangerous, you have seen on the streets of paris, political leaders will have to do uncomfortable things. if the population had not been in any way prepared for the story or worse had been told to disbelieve it, that's the kind of disaster for democracy and the species. so i think journalism has to take the story more seriously. >> what do you feel right now? i mean, do you feel optimistic, the press has regained its rightful place, its footing? look, we saw this year you saw words have consequences. cnn and other organizations and individuals were targeted by these pipe bombs. you know, there was a lot of pointing fingers at the words that have come out of the administration. of course as you said, the words, the action is reproduced and permitted then around the world. >> i do feel optimistic for good journalism. the journalism that counts, that was in the public interest that serves as a public service. i think people recognize that's necessary and they will

today when i teach journalism, the textbook reporting is on the five w.'s unique to report, what, where, when and why of buy your, the rule for the general reporters with affordable use, use,who, what, where and when and why he wasn't supposed to be touched. it was the province of editorial writers and columnists and a few were lucky enough to write an article for the sunday review section but most articles were meant to focus just on the facts and not try to explain why. so what happened and what caused this shift to more an more and d interpretive reportinanalysts ae in the book that there were two main factors when was the technology sector, the rise of tv and news which prior to 1953 was 15 minutes each evening and after that it wasn't too much depth. so, tv news could provide headlines and soundbites but not much else so for them to stay relevant they had to provide more. the other main factor in the interpretation and analysis was the rise of a certain politician mainly senator joseph mccarthy who came to prominence thanks to the sensational charges

sources tell "the journal." let's talk about this.ledge up front, and i'm not excusing anything, but inaugural committees a legend airline sleazy operations. they are exempt from all sorts of rules and disclosures. people try to raise as much money as they can from corporations. they are like conventions that way. >> there's a big problem in politics in general. money moving into these campaigns, including the inaugurations and it's -- it's hard to say that no it doesn't have any impact whatsoever. it would not surprise me in the slightest though that this administration took it so much further. there's no way investigators are actually going after this or charges are going to be filed until they have real documentation of quid pro quo. sounds like they might have a recording of that. i would also say that this is the president who gave the presidential medal of freedom to sheldon adelson's wife. unclear what she did for this. there's a lot to sale. >> sheldon adelson who was one of the biggest donors, but what's really interesting is

this is the headline tonight in the journal.te, trump inaugural spending under criminal investigation by prosecutors. rebecca o'brien, one of the reporters behind the scoop tonight. miss o'brien, it's great to have you here. you guys have been doing great work, you've had a lot of scoops lately. >> thanks so much. thanks so much. >> we've been interested in this inaugural funding story for a long time on this show for some of the reasons that i explained there. and there has been previous reporting, six months or so ago, about federal investigators looking into the possibility about foreign money might have gotten into trump's inaugural funds. that came up, for example, in the indictment of sam paton, one of the lower profile indictments in which he was accused of setting up an american straw purchaser so a foreigner could actually spend a bunch of money and go to the trump inauguration. what you guys are talking about here is a federal investigation not into the money coming into the inauguration necessarily, but the spending.

connell: that was the journal point from the editorial board at "the wall street journal" that it isime for a pause. no matter what, take the president out of it. i'm kind of mixed on this and trying to think through it. whether that is actually possible. i'm inclined to say the federal reserve is independent and quote, unquote, data dependent. they see what the president is saying know how all of that is perceived. i don't know. >> they have to do what is right based on what their data tells them and then as making, in making the statement they have got to justify that and say, yes, we went up with the rates because the data or no, we didn't because of the data, not because of -- connell: that is what they will say. we'll never know with played in -- >> we'll get a dovish statement no matter what happens. connell: you're right. >> we're looking at less hikes next year. let it wash through the system, give it some time. we fully understand the need for normalization. focus on the balance sheet. let that run off. data suggests they should pause. connell: right. >> markets would embrac

this is the "wall street journal."st he surprised everyone by taking public ownership of a possible shutdown in a meeting in the oval office with democratic leaders. by the way, this is the "wall street journal" saying this. then he agreed to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's proposal to fund the government for two months to move the funding debate into the new year when democrats run the house. then the freedom gop house caucus and talk radio hosts stomped their feet and trump flipped back to welcoming a shutdown, and tweeting that, quote, it could be a long stay. i don't know if i told you, but this is a conservative "wall street journal" editorial page asking the question to what end? trump shutdown tactic is to hold his breath until the other side gives in. this didn't work for newt gingrich in 1995, though at least newt was battling bill clinton over major reforms in the entitlement state. trump is holding his breath over a mere $3.4 billion in spending for a piece of political symbolism. and, rick tyler, a

and that reporting, nbc matching "the wall street journal," again, "the wall street journal" has been all over these various investigation stories and deserves a lot of credit for this. in this case, you know, the reporting is that the person or persons from the campaign that were mentioned in documents related to the "national enquirer," a.m.i. its parent company, and michael cohen to make the karen mcdougal payments and sort of arranging this, there was this arrangement between the "national enquirer's" parent company and david pecker who headed a.m.i., and president trump apparently, and michael cohen, to have sort of an arrangement, if there was something that came up, if the "national enquirer" came upon the story of women who could injure the president's campaign, that they would help put those stories away. >> uh-huh. >> and if president trump was the individual from the campaign in the room, as nbc and "the wall street journal" are reporting, that is significant, and makes what he had been saying about not knowing anything even less credible than it was before. >> and, jim, be

journalism stuff that you find in the checkout counter that talks about aliens coming down that i think is demonstrably things that everybody agrees on didn't happen or faults are just outlandish i think what we've seen now is that continual move into a lot of stories where there might be a piece which there is an element that is wrong or off so that let's if you if you assume that a story has to be one hundred percent right you'll find two or three or five things in a story and say well then therefore it's faults it's fake and then that suggests stands all the way to what i think maria was alluding to a little bit which is now it is somewhat gone even further which is that people who disagree with the story the narrative of it say well that's fake and so it sort of encompasses now a lot more than where it did maybe say five or ten years ago that's two different things surely just pushing there for a second using fake news as an accusation or using it as a discrete right where you're caught you asos whatever different thing yet you asked a question of what it was and i'm trying to expla

side have responsibility as well but my bottom line is journalism is not a crime journalism is not worthy of a death sentence for anybody sean very quickly in twenty seconds is it as journalists reporters anchors to trust the audience the consumers to work out what is fake and what is not with the danger off the back of that to journalists like maria i mean i think that you should strive every day to instill a sense of trust you earn trust it's not given so i think that to the point that david made were spot on which is journalists should try every day to do things that instill trust in the writing and the publishing of everything that they do. maria very briefly twenty seconds we assume of course the truth will always shine through what if we're wrong or wrong it will not always shine through we all believe information is power that we agree on but the information ecosystem is broken and that's part of the reason democracy journalists are under attack because we're the front line to protect democracy and democracies are under attack and i think what we need to do now is to look at how we

and how he got into journalism? >> she went to yale and at yale she studied nonfiction writing. the great world war ii journalist who wrote fantastic books, very short book, tells the story of 5 people in hiroshima after the bomb is dropped. it's not about strategy, it's not about weaponry, it's not the high politics but it's about these people's lives in the atomic aftermath and marie's best friend katrina remembers coming out and says that is what i want to do, i want to tell the big stories in the human way and she always said that hiroshima was the best book ever written on war and many of us would agree with that and so that was what happened at yale and then but, of course, you can't get straight into what you want to do and she spent time freelancing and got a job and she liked tough guys, you know, great journalism. you get to go and interview the guys who shoot horses, new york city police, she got job in paris. from paris she managed to get a visa to libya, this was in 1986 on the eve of reagan bombing, wh

this is journalism of those who are going alone with the state it's having grown up in the cold war i find it quite difficult to believe that journalists some of them distinguished in the right in many but all of the willing journalists distinguished in their own right. should go alone should allow themselves to be indulged by the british government at a time when there is a litany of lies about. russia about china about so many issues that in dangerous. the prospect of war with russia the prospect of war with china in danger us that the public have a right to understand and truthfully have a right to know about and that's our job as journalists and for journalists to be going alone to a foreign office. meeting. and it's set up by something called the institute of state growth which is in a whatsit in a at mt milligan scotland run by we think oh no let's wasn't very it's subtle but it's not satire. in another sense because why are journalists doing this has journalism got to that point robert fisk said recently that it's become a cancer as he put it a cancer of the bottom of journal

attacks on journalism and the future of democracy it's sickening. that we have to discuss this but here we are. and let begin with a few data points. according to the december 20 17th pew government trust and survey a portion of the public trusting uncle sam to do what is right just about always or most of the time was 18 percent. among millennials, it was 13 percent. among republicans, who control, still control all three branches of government, it was 22 %. just by way of comparison, in october 1964 ms. civil rights tensions in the early days of vietnam, the value was 77 %. the democracy project survey has responded to respond to the importance of democracy as the only form of government. only 39 % of those aged 29 or younger and absolutely important. the most recent world values survey said that among american millennials 23 % said the democracy is a bad way or very bad way to run the country in the 2017 survey by the democracy fund, 29 % of respondents showed at least some support for either a strong leader or army rule. army rule. the suspicion

journalism? >> she studied nonfiction writing on the great world war ii journalist who wrote the fantastic book hiroshima which is a very short book that tells the story of five people in hiroshima after the bomb had stopped and it's not about the strategy or weaponry or the politics. it's about these people people's in the atomic aftermath. so she remembered her coming out and saying that is what i want to do i want to tell these big stories in a human way and she always said that it was the best book ever written on the war and many of us would agree with that and so that is what happened at yale and you can't get straightened into doing wha whau want to do so she time freelancing and got a job that she liked. it's a great journalism you get to interview the guys at the new york city police and all that. then she got a job at upi and ended up in paris and from paris she got a visa to libya and this was in 1986 on the eve of the reagan bombing on the eve when he was about to bomb tripoli and ben

our first guest is professor of journalism at nyu. jay rosen is here!and applause ) this is day three of trevor being unable to speak. the doctor ordered him to rest his vocal chords, so, congratulations, society, you silenced another black man. ( laughter ) ( applause ) but he is still sitting here, using a talking app on his phone. say something, trevor. >> for quality assurance purposes, this show may be recorded. >> very nice! let's catch up on today's headlines. for a few months, now, the u.s. and china have been in a trade war, which, let's be honest, it's the most boring kind of war there is. until now. >> all right, breaking news. a new rift potentially between the united states and china after an executive for a chinese tech chinned wan wawway. >> cheers officials are calling on canada to release her. >> did you get her? the u.s. and canada just arrested the daughter of one of china's most powerful families, going full game of thrones on this trade war. how do you think president trump would like it if china threw one of his kids in prison? >>

i want to bring in "the wall street journal"'s reporter rebecca ball house. first of all, tell us what you and your colleagues are leverage. how did this start? this is a criminal investigation? >> so what we suns that this investigation came out of federal prosecutors in manan's investigation of michael cohen. we understand that in their raid of cohen he's hotel room and office and home earlier this year in april, they seized, among other things, a recording of a conversation that he had with an adviser to the inaugural fund and informer adviser to melania trump earlier this year, and twhe understand questions about how the inaugural committee was spending the >> unare some of the funds unaccounted for or just not pubically identified? >> they are not pubically identified. those top five vendors accounted for much of the expense but they are looking at whether top donors are paying for access to the new administration, to the incoming administration. tell us about that. >> we understand that the investigation basically has two prongs, one seems to be examini

this is a one off case german journalism is in general of high quality but this one of k. should never have happened it's a disaster. we have to deal with this proactively we have to make clear sometimes we do make mistakes and sometimes there are even criminals among us as i think is the case here we have to investigate. them. while germany's news organizations fret about how to ensure this kind of fraud can't happen again some are calling it fake needs politicians from the far right a f d have been quick to point out the failings that dish legal and to suggest it's been unfairly critical of those on the right. the invented journalism of class may be a rare case but it's likely only to add to the skepticism of those who already believe that the mainstream media doesn't tell the truth. dish beagle isn't out of the woods yet in fact the u.s. ambassador to germany has called for an independent investigation into what he sees as institutional bias and anti american attitudes and with more on this developing story we're joined by dint of his digital reporter we thank you for j

why you sure in years' time, the "the wall street journal," "post," will still be there? >> one, because they're making money, assuming their financial statements are right, which i do. and they're making money. they have a model that for them works. they have a national, international audience. they have a series of groups of people who are interested in -- in what they're doing. and the "washington post's" case, certainly, realizing they're not going to do it as a local paper, that the most important thing was really to be a national or international paper of politics, which i think they've done extraordinarily well. i think -- i mean, they're going to be there. the numbers are there. they're not going to make as much money as i said papers used to make in the old days. for them, it's going to work. those big papers will be there. they should. i think the question, again, is what happens to a lot of other not just -- not just, you know, newspapers, it's magazines, too. i mean, my wife worked for 22 years at "newsweek." you remember "newsweek"? that's pretty amazing. and

that's according to the reporting of the "wall street journal" as well. the parent company of the journal and our company share common ownership. part of the article reads -- >> shepard: here's the response from the white house. >> that doesn't have anything to do with the president or the first lady. the biggest thing the president did in his engagement in inauguration was to come here and raise his hand and take the oath of office. the president was focused on the transition during that time and not on any of the plans. >> shepard: the journal notes that robert mueller is looking into whether any foreign money flowed into the inaugural fund, which is also not allowed. and there's breaking news now on fox news channel. we said at the top of this news cast that the deadline had just expired for michael flynn documents to be released and it's happened. our catherine herridge has the list of those documents. just moments ago, robert mueller handed over documents related to flynn's interview with the fbi. that interview took place in january of last year. so

and great journalism.you get to go and interview the hustlers, the guys who you know, shoot the horses in the new york city police. she liked all of that. then she got a job as he said, at upi and ended up in paris. from paris, she managed to get a visa to libya. and this was in 1986. on the eve of the reagan bombing. when reagan was about to bomb benghazi and marie -- was well known and marie fit into a category. and it was kind of creepy. she knows she telling us about this many years later she often tells a story, he was predatory always putting his hand on her knee and she interviewed him on several occasions. at that particular point. one occasion when he would put out a little white dress and green shoes for her. she says i'm not going to wear that because it is too small. but, marie always loved clothes. that was another theme in the book. should always describe what people were wearing in great detail. and qaddafi with his gold cape and lizard skin shoes and in a sometimes gray padded flight suits

journalism cannot be a check on power because the very system encourages complicity. governments corporations big institutions know how to play the immediate game they know how to influence the news narrative the feed media scoops official account interviews with the experts. they make themselves crucial to the process of journalism so those in power and those who look forward on that are in bed with each other. if you want to challenge power you'll be pushed to the margins your name will be down you won't be getting it you lost your access you lost the story. when the media journalists whistle blowers sources stray away from the consensus they get slack that's the fourth filter when the story is inconvenient for the powers that be you'll see the flash machine in action discrediting sources trashing stories and diverting the conversation. to measure such concerns and enemy the target. common enemy is the fifth. tanya's of terrorists and it's coming and it. will be met to hear those caroll public opinion. filters one big media theory consensus is being manufactured all

thank you to the wall street journal for raising this issue. have you seen outside of publicly traded company sectors that seem to be doing a better job of this? the military? academia? government? not-for-profit? >> i think there are -- no is the short answer. i think there are entities, organizations and companies across the board that are doing it well, and i think there are many that need to do it better. and i don't think there is one particular industry that is standing out and leading the way. >> i get that question all the time. i can't really come up with one. one reason i think, and an important point i want to get to, i think one of the reasons there is so much difficulty across the board is we had treated these issues like legal liability limitations. you think about your sexual harassment training, historically, it has probably been legal liability limitation training. not training to the culture you want. that was best practice in the past, but it has led to the workplace cultures because the law is really limited. there's a lot o

more obvious in most places straddling the line between journalism and activism is problematic but the view only objectivity can suffer audiences don't really know what they're getting and calling the late. a journalist would be inaccurate there was too much activism in the work he did. however that's an ethical issue for outsiders to ponder inside syria more than seven years into this war such a debate would feel like a luxury and indulgence one of the most important aspects of media work and the syrian revolution is this blurring of boundaries between journalism activism art to making and human rights work when you are in a very dark difficult situation where your survival and i've been taken for granted you're not as concerned with a sort of a strictly narrowly defined journalism focused on impartiality on one basic facts as finding out how to survive and helping other people get information to help them survive and write it in that sense was what i called a creative insurgent right he was an exemplary creative insurgent well rounded feresten hide the fact that he was an activist he

the "wall street journal" is going to be there. but there are large swaths, especially spatially local newspapers, things like this, an example somebody gave me here, somebody i know katie, the former editor of small city paper, he came in 2004. the staff was 62. when he left in 2010 the staff was 32. he just checked back with the editor who by the way was being laid off, the latest editor and the staff is 11. and that is the very unpleasant world for a lot of people out there. as i said, big publications will do it. you can see in other things. you can see in tv networks where you'll see the network news, you'll see few two corresponds, a couple guys are women always narrating the news under some producer out there. you don't have the staff and used to have, and that is a huge issue. and the answer is this is still developing and people trying to come up with business models. they are certainly not going to be as profitable as in the old days when having a big city paper, especially a monopoly with the a license to print mo, those

so that we have competing sources of journalism. but let's hiding behind the veneer of impartiality which it doesn't take very much to scratch to see what's underneath. >> i think that's right. i think if you write anything about what is going on, you can't be objective, so it's just going to report on pro- trump said this, democrats said that, so any way today you have to choose or how much you're going to use but what backs you're going to focus on and what backs you will not focus on maybe you will think this is fake news. so you can have impartial journalism, i don't think. but you what you can have is empathetic journalism which tries to understand, is trying to understand where the other person is coming from and where different people are coming from. so you know i think there should be a wall between the op- ed page and the front page. but at the same time, you know and this shows my politics but i do think that we have a president who lies routinely every day and those lies are well documented. you have got to say he is lyi

clerk, who will log them into her journals. >> that's correct.he senate journal is the highest legal authority of the senate. it tracks the major motions. it's something that's required by the constitution, a record of the proceeding. it's a journal we keep of meaningful pages on a daily basis used for our annual published volume. finally, those minutes, once the volume is published, will be sent to the national archives for storage. >> that's the journal role. >> thank you. >> we're considering a joint resolution on the congressional review act, statutory controlled time. one of the things we'll also do is use the timesheet to control time, what's remaining. this one is 10 hours equally divided. obviously five from each side. we had senator cruz last night, four minutes on that. lot of time left. brian: in the actual documentary, this has just been a chat about the things around the documentary and the documentary itself has a lot more substance to it. i wrote down all the different headings. constitution and the senate, legislative body, filibu

isn't that corrupt journalism? guest: i do not think that is corrupt journalism, but we can talk about it now. d outtary mattis was force of the obama administration, and president obama was criticized about some of that. different administrations, different policies. some of the credit that trump has gotten for ringing him back in seems to have gone out of the window with the way he forced m attis out. mattis left a very respectful letter. will be interesting to see how president trump handles that in the months to come. if he decides to go after secretary mattis, as he has done against previous cabinet members sendyrical photos, it will shockwaves through the military. this is still a very respectful person in -- respected person in the military. he issident trump decides going to name call and pick apart secretary mattis, i think there will be a lot of folks in the military who will reevaluate where their support stands for the president. callingt's go to king, from baton rouge, a veteran. caller: good morning.
