. >> steve bannon run breitbart news which is notorious for stories like this. they pedalled a lot of stories on that website that are just false. they're just not true. and that reinforced sexist, racist, anti sem mittic notions. >> i think america said there is a difference between what may foend me and what absolutely affects me and i as a voter am going that way. >> the president-elect is taking a break today ahead of tuesday when he resumes his thank you tour. he'll travel to north carolina, and then on thursday, he and the vice president elect will visit iowa. >>> on the democratic side, congressman keith ellison emerging as the front runner. now that former chairman howard dean is taking his hat out of the ring. as ellison faces renewed challenges for questioning u.s. policies toward israel, in a 2010 speech, he's trying to ease kernels over whether he would be able to serve as dnc chair and keep his day job. here's what end at an event in denver featuring others vying for dnc chair yesterday. >> i absolutely will make the dnc my number one commitment. wh

presidential inaugural committee spokesperson also told breitbart news the parade itself will last no longer than 90 minutes. and that's because trump plans to work between the end of the ceremony and the inaugural ball on january 20th. more than 40 groups and bands from around the country will take part in the parade, including the ones you see listed here from virginia. >> we previously told you how no bands from the district applied to take part in the 2017 inaugural parade. we have more details about that and a map showing all of the cities that do have marching bands participating. that's up right now on nbcwashington.com and in our app. >> i feel like i could see snow in the background at noon when we were doing the show, and a little outside, too. >> are we done or is there a little snow still? >> still coming down in parts of the area. these are just snow showers ng move on through the rest of the evening hours. take a look at storm team 4 radar now, and you notice, still some snow on the radar. back towards the radar beam here. you look at dulles airport seeing snow right now

nervous for any administration, it makes me particularly nervous for the administration advised by breitbart news. >> even to say we are now going to break for a commercial announcement? >> so for example, the ftc, which i know a little bit about, having been married to somebody who worked there, got involved in requiring bloggers who received freebies to disclose that it was a freebie. that seems like a perfectly legitimate disclosure rule. but i just -- i just have this kind of instinctive antipathy to government involvement in telling people how to consume or understand news. that feels like another slope i don't want to go down. >> okay. do we have some questions from the audience? apparently we do. >> let's begin with this one. false equivalency. someone knows how the press would police false equivalency. if i could append something to that, your reaction in that regard to the editor of "the new york times" saying the traditional standards of journalism in the context of this year's election required suspension. that is to say, there had to be somewhat more editorial judgment in the news rep

when trump named steve bannon out of breitbart news as his campaign ceo critics say it brought fringespiracy ideas in the mainstream of politics. >> trump, bannon and breitbart were real champions of trump. >> bannon once called breitbart a platform for the alt-right a movement linked to white nationalism, racism and misogyny. now bannon will be the president's chief strategist. so alt-right will have a more powerful platform right inside the white house. a charge bannon denies. >>> number three the stunning downfall of fox ceo roger ailes. >> breaking news. >> back with some breaking news, a media bombshell. >> in july, former fox host gretchen carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against ailes. two weeks later he was out. although ailes strongly denied the allegations, multiple women inside fox, including megyn kelly, came forward with similar stories. it was a shocking end to the controversial gop kingmaker and mastermind of the country's highest rated cable news channel. number two one of the biggest media miscues in decades. donald trump winning the presidency something most

but breitbart news, which used to be run by trump white house senior adviser steve bannon, just published its own article saying that food stamp use has risen during president obama's presidency. that's technically true although it wasn't linked to new data either. it ignores key facts. it also rose during president obama's predecessor. it does spike during recession. but that's just the numbers. in politics two dynamics are at play here. making the program sound flawed so you can try to cancel it and the effort to tie president obama and liberals to providing food stamps as if it's something bad, a tactic that's been tried many times most memorably by newt gingrich back in his 2012 run for president. >> barack obama is the best food stamp president in american history. the fact is barack obama is the best food stamp president in american history. that's a fact. the fact is barack obama is the best food stamp president in american history. that's a fact. >> you just say it. you say it over and over. now, when newt gingrich was challenged on what he was really saying basically in that clai
