joining us, gayle trotter, ed henry, fox news chief national correspondent, and jessica tarlov. yle how much credibility has the media lost? gail require's been a tough year for the media. we have seen the death of the independent journalist. do they have evidence and are they all leaning one particular way. you have bill buckley for decades talking about how the mainstream media was disinclined to fairly and accurately report conservative policies and we seated proof of that with high profile mistake after high profile mistake. jessica, people on the left not happy with the way the trump presidency has turned out. jessica: we have seen major successes, especially the news that came out of alabama. but certainly the media credibility has taken a hit and it has happened on both sides of the aisle. government officials have taken a hit on their credibility as well. i understand why the general public realizes no one is telling them the truth. it led to more partisan hardship and they go to what feels comforting to them. howie: how much is president trump branding what he calls fake

we would like to bring in our and, gayle trotter, also back with us, tammy bruce. yle, what do you make of this? >> first kudos to "politico" for their in-depth and risky reporting. americans thought they got nothing from the iran deal, and this week we learned americans got tons of cocaine. we also learned that probably 300 used car dealerships in the united states were used to launder money in furtherance of terrorist operations. it's a shocking admission that the policy of promoting this iran deal allowed the vital functions of the federal government to be pushed aside to get this deal through. >> even as this was being negotiated. one observation was the administration was bend over backward to make it happen and iran was taking advantage of it every single step of the way. tammy: we have $1.6 billion in cash moved to the major state sponsor of terror in the world, iran, we know they paid in cash multiple currencies. manage if ms-13 was a state-based terror organization or death squad, that's what hezbollah is. barack obama didn't just have treasury and justice

here now to discuss gayle trotter. along with adrianna cohen. it is a another wild scene at press briefing. a lot of pushing on this. do you believe president trump meant anything sexual or sexist with that tweet? >> you know, charles, no, when everything is a sexist smear than nothing is sexist smear. his opponents are angry when he is attacked he punches back. a lot of people would think this is democrat last-ditch effort to derail the tax reform effort. they are trying to call this to news coverage for trump to resign. charles: still it persists, sharing with the tweet. president trump tweeting light weight senator, a total flunky for chuck schumer someone who would come to my office begging for campaign contribution not long ago, would do anything for them, now fighting trump, very disloyal. >> president trump used similar language talking about mitt romney and this year, fight with bobob corker. we have seen him use the same language with men. >> you are right. that is why this is not a sexist sneer, sexism is when you direct somebody towar
