i would like to start with our journalist, jim rutenberg. , reallyn one sense loves the media. he watches tv news incessantly. he has coverage, -- he has covers, and his office, when he some.verboy and even made he seems to like engaging with reporters. at the same time, he blasts the press every day. he has called the press the enemy of the american people. how do you put those things together? is it just is instinctive need to find enemies? is it a clever political strategy? what is really going on? jim: i think our best thinking on this subject -- we try every day to get our heads around this, even now -- but we believe it is a mix of annex dictation of the new york media world that he became donald trump in should have shown him more deference. it angers him when it feels like he does not get deference prayer that said, it also has fueled his movement. his movement hates the press. it works to his advantage. and it plays well on twitter. and most importantly, when it comes to the strategy, obviously, if you create the impression that there is no such thing as a valid turn o

one of my favorite reporters, media columnist, jim rutenberg.our inaugural trip to "deadline white house." one of the best articulations you have is that this one should be clear. arguments at sites like facebook are merely open platforms like phone wires is the analogy a lot of people make and not media companies who make editorial judgments. they fall woefully flat when it comes to meddling in our democracy. the first amendment may not protect a foreign member -- >> those of white house follow politics have spent so much time talking about who is behind this shady ad? what's the intention? here's a bigger deal and it's just starting to be spoken about in these terms. >> they came after john kerry and you and your colleagues and other reporters at "the times" called us day after day about whether there was any coordination or whether we approved of the ads. who paid for it? did we know about it? what do you think -- these are ads bought on facebook by russians. >> right. the fact that you just said that and it's true is -- or allegedly true but
