the president recently held a social media summit at the white house. our conservatives being censored on social media, in your view? >> guest: i set before marsha blackburn went to the senate, she sat next to me in committee and we all remember what happened to her on social media. i think it's really important that the algorithms that are being used by the companies out there are fair. that's where again the oversight that we are talking about is that we want to make sure that everybody has the right opportunity to be out there on our social media sites. all of a sudden they're saying we don't like this one word or this term, and if it is affecting conservatives more than the other side, we have to make sure it's not -- we want to make sure that it's free and fair speech out there, that people have the opportunity to get out there and express their opinions. >> host: congressman bob latta of ohio is the top republican on the committee kaisha and technology subcommittee. is that our guest on "the communicators" this week. and ashley gold is washington r

ironically while a bunch of right wing personalities are in the white house for a social media summit who are in there. that's for another day. a live look on social media. it's raining in the swamp. a little more than an hour from now, the president is scheduled to make an announcement about the citizenship question. sources are telling fox news that that question will not be on the census. fox news has covered both events in this hour. more to come, a man that claimed he was one of the most infamous fugitives of the last century and took it back has died. his name is robert rackstraw. to this day we still don't know whether he was also the hijacker known as d.b. cooper. the year was 1971. a man calling himself cooper told the flight attendant that he had a bomb and showed something in a bag, demanded money and four parachutes. after the plan landed in seattle, he traded his hostages for cash and parachutes and ordered the pilot to fly to mexico. along the way, somewhere between seattle and reno, d.b. cooper disappeared. there was debate over which d.b. cooper survived. and then a lo

. >> donald trump bringing lawmakers, activists and key online for use to the white house for a social media summit. the group addressing conservative censorship and bias. the left and some of the media say that is nothing more than a conspiracy theory. a visiting fellow attending the suspect summit joins us and explains the issue is very real. >> for this to be by cnn and other networks to say this is just some all right gathering, couldn't be farther from the truth. there is bias out there. the question is what do we do about it? i think what we need to do is put a spotlight on this which is why the summit is here. >> the white house is launching a program for americans to share their stories of how they are affected by bias online. >> weather now. louisiana under a state of emergency, severe flooding stuns new orleans. a major storm is bearing down on the gulf coast potentially becoming a hurricane by saturday. >> flash flooding turning street into rivers forcing some residents to cut across town in kayaks and look at this, this has gone everywhere, dark clouds and water spout touching down on a

president donald trump is hosting what he calls a social media summit at the white house on thursday trump is facing criticism for the event which includes a lineup of online personalities from across the right wing media and google facebook and twitter officials are excluded from the gathering trump has accused them of bias against him and other conservatives this week to felipa travis and he's an assistant professor of communication at the american university in washington d.c. he's joining us via skype good to have you with us on the news hour as so what message does this send to the country when the president is hosting what some say is a right wing conservative summit at the white house excluding social media companies . well thank you for having me on your program and you know i think it kind of it nailed it then when you. reminded us of the 5 only a right way personalities were invited to. this event today at the white house you know allegedly this is what the president himself very coldly said on twitter the event today is to discuss partisan bias on social media and particul

at its own game we are going to continue following that i got to ask about this white house summit holding a social mediavite list many there about faced intent consensusorship last month i spoke with president about plans for big technology listen to what he said i found it interesting i got to get your cake. >> how concerned are you that intelligent ask ask skoentz are sensureing conservatives right up to 2020 election. >> they make it very hard for people to join me on twitter they make it very much harder for me to get out the message, they make it -- it is incredible, yeah. maria: what are you going to do about it companions the enormous amount of power if they could even stop the president of the free world -- >> twitter is terrible what they do, they don't let you get the word i have had so many people come to me, sir, i can't join you on twitter i see what is happening one hundred percent. maria: would you rather see competition or do you want legacy coming down to twail -- >> you may need legacy legislation to create competition. >> what they did is that legal are they breaking the law mr. presi

steve, i don't think we're going to get much out of this social media white house summit today other go at the social media companies for conservatives being censored. i think that's all we're going to get. what do you say? >> yeah, that seems to be the focus of what the white house intends and it's a good point. look, i just had a look on social media about the discussion around the social media summit. it kind of makes the president's point. it's full of attacks on him and the people going and saying the whole thing is a kind of alt-right circus and so on. i think the real point here is that if we want to address the very real questions around potential bias and censorship and so on, the answer i don't think is prescriptive regulation of how these companies behave. it's a point i made to you before, stuart. i think it's all about the fact the big dominant companies like facebook and twitter, where a lot of this conversation goes on, they're too dominant. they're too big. if you had a much more competitive market in these industries, it wouldn't matter so much. it would be like the r
