abramson is going after "the washington post" for biased headlines in news and articles., is this one of those "water is wet" stories that the times is biased. i think the angle that's interesting is not that the times is biased. everybody gets that. everyone has a bias. we are human beings. the story that's fascinating is that she expose the financial interest. they become one big clickbait thing. >> kennedy: that's been the obvious story going for a few years now about print media. it's dying. so you've got all these institutions that are really trying to figure out how to get subscribers. we also learned from her forthcoming booklet at the thes has a billion dollar a year subscription business. it went through the roof the day after the president was inaugurated because they do have a liberal readership and you have to balance the opinion side with the new side. what jill abramson is saying is that the balance is completely out of whack because they have tasted the delicious fruits of digital success. if this is what they are selling and their customers are buying it,

jill abramson is no fan of president trump and loves "the new york times" she is calling out the paper for the coverage of the president. >> jon: the president said he helps "the new york times" as he calls it, the failing "new york times," he helps them sell papers, there is some evidence of that. >> the president, despite his war on what he calls the fake news media cash registers for the papers. digital subscriptions soreed by 600,000 to a total of more than 2 million. higher today probably. doesn't necessarily mean you should program or practice your journalism in order to make more money when it comes to being fair. now, some may say this is sour grapes on the part of jill abramson criticizing her successor, her managing editor who played a role in her firing. there are times in this book merchants of truth where she praises him and i think she is just taking a step back and saying hey, if you are constantly running stories that are anti-trump you'll be perceived that way. in some cases she said the news pages are peddling raw opinion. >> jon: let me read part of what she has to s

i have jill abramson's comments, which i thought were pretty amazing, that the news part of "the newtimes" is anti-trump but it is more than that. i am saying it is every major newspaper and every network, every so-called cable network. are, like, an island on this show. it is every second, minute, hour, everyow day. it is not news anymore. none of it is news anymore. it is activism, call it whatever you want. i'm a talk show host. they never identify themselves as sh. i think it is an information crisis like we have never had in this country before. >> yes, that's true. there was a pullout last year where a majority of americans can't name even one neutral news source. the majority can't say, i could go there and find what i need. that's remarkable you say there is an information crisis. that's true. that montage showed me, you called it activism. i think it is acting, as in bad acting. i see these pundits and all these other networks that are trying to outdo themselves. rachel used to be on a show called "the real world." you had each season, each cast trying to be more sensational

we have also seen that abramson said they are passionately anti-trump. they have also denied that. that's true. they just seem to not be able to take on that self-awareness. butaw if they are the stringent reporters and the journalists fighting for the facts then they should own the misdeed of apparently the one publisher to acquiesce censorship. >> tucker: the paper is a joke. i wish that weren't the case. there are smart people there but in general it's garbage. it's sad. allie, hacked by china mid-segment. thank you for coming on. >> that's what it was. must have been. >> tucker: appreciate it. >> thank>> you. >> tucker: well, you remember parkland deputy scott peterson? he did nothing to stop mass shooter nikolas cruz. he hid outside. he was allowed to keep his massive pension. over $100,000 a year in taxpayer money for life anyway. why did that happen? we will tell you after the break. d ♪ ♪ >> tucker: one of the most dreadful and the frustrating parts of theru horrific school shooting that took place in parkland, florida, was the role played by the police deputy called scott

i appreciate the candor of jill abramson but i don't think that it was any great stark revelation forhing the new york times and their savage treatment of president trump. dagen: that's kind of -- i mean, the whole -- it's interesting, even in popular culture, in our vernacular now, the whole idea of fake news. you hear it repeated on scripted television shows, on reality shows. you just see it everywhere, even in other countries. and james, that's quite frankly one of the reasons that president trump was so popular on the campaign trail and that he won, quite frankly, is because he was kind of stating the obvious. >> not shocking that the new york times is biased. i think it is maybe a little shocking, eve though we're talking about -- even though you're talking about you could call her a disgruntled former employee but this is a person who was running the new york times saying this. >> well, it was somebody from the inside the belly of the beast but i think it's still stating as you say the obvious. the fact is, american people are just disgusted and no longer have much trust in the

jill abramson said given mostly liberal audience, there was implicit financial reward, running trumpnegative. big traffic with trump as president. too many stories in the news pages, not about op-ed, contained raw opinion, unmistakably anti-trump as you said. she said younger staff members at "the times," feel dangers of trump's presidency as they see it, mean that we should toss out the old journalistic standards. that is a real shame. charles: can we get them back, howard? or do economics just like the netflix situation, do economics and ideology now outweigh what used to be sort of standards? this case journalistic standards? >> yeah i have argued again and again i think many news organizations are so wrapped up in their animus toward president trump, never giving him a break on anything. goes to iraq, find stuff to criticize, you name it. the fact, by the way it has become a good business model for certain other cable news channels and places like "the times" to run a lot of anti-trump stories, what the liberal viewership or leadership wants i don't see anytime soon. long term co

jill i gram o -- jill abramson e news pages were unmistakably anti-trump. headlines contained raw opinion and stories that were labeled as news analysis. we kind of know this, right? >> i don't believe anybody is surprised by any of this. when you become recognized as only being against something or someone, it's fair that you be labeled as biased. she is an insider, she kind of knows. she is a former editor. to say it out loud, i applaud her for it. susan: doesn't this hurt the credibility of the "new york times." some people saying they are part of the opposition inside the white house? >> absolutely. you have places like the "new york times" that will jump on any morsel of gossip that comes out of the trump administration. but when you have a well sourced from the "new york times," they say no. they put out editorial pieces about trump imperilling the planet. of course they are biased. i don't think anyone can credibly argue there isn't an obvious slant going on at the "new york times." susan: gives credibility to the term fake news as well. >> we need e

people on the left say this is just whining, now jill abramson is saying is true. >> it is an incrediblytant point to bring up that we discussed before, the blending of news and opinion and social media has greatly contributed to this kind of problem now that so many news writers or journalists are on twitter or instagram sharing personal opinions that may not reflect the way their work is supposed to be put forward but i did notice a glaring issue, the new york times broke the story about hillary clinton's email server which many attribute to being her downfall in all of this and hillary spoke about that on the campaign trail and in her book what happened. there are some important points and we should highlight that there was an issue between her as she was on her way out. i'm happy to have a conversation about news and opinion and we should look at right-wing media while we are at it. >> what about the point about hillary clinton said in her campaign that everybody thinks the new york times is often democrats and hillary clinton felt they were tougher on her than anything but with a to
