teamed up to demand change brant bozell is the founder of the group he's president of the media research center in the city. we recently spoke to him about his group's claims abayas on social media here is that interview what brand you claim that the social media and tech companies exhibit a bias against conservatives can you give us some examples. yeah i do there's been an awful lot of complaints that have been coming in the last year specifically from conservative organizations across the dial complaining about this and sometimes larry you know you you listen to them and and you know they're not exactly accurate they don't understand the algorithms they might not have good material and the like but other things that you listen to you know have a basis in truth so we decided to investigate twenty eight different claims and we drill down quite deeply and all twenty eight of them the know the numbers are telling in five cases we found that they didn't have merit at all in nine cases we found we called them questionable for example facebook took down a post of a conservative organization that con

sue media sites like facebook and twitter censoring conservatives brant bozell head of the media research center says they are and that he has truth and he joins me after the break stay right there more politicking right after this. but it would kind of go into accepting you need to have turned out to try ration of independence that's what's hot stuff and him push away that is the beginning and the nightmare of the trio of how faked and don't fall in love from a book. that are out here that. much as you just read that is all. just. fun and he has said i had been but been alaw don't suggest that you get outside of that much on them and. by then i got a session on the nod that i am. by then is a shift on. a stock that's not set in the first going then what. sucks for someone not so it. can be no surprise was it behoved even the pope multiple injuries among can connect to so the keeps a few bits of the book but the show's reality amar's on the phone to the book and even perfectly possible sources say yes but i can. a loss of what it might. all of a bit of luck. a falafel on the focus on the somethi

i don't know what we would do without the media research center. thank you so much.o come, the tactics universities across the country used to suppress free speech and the plight of professors caught in the pc machine. >> laura: the latest target of campus censorship and the epidemic there is a renowned history professor bert folsom of hillsdale college. an approval committee at davidson college in north carolina tried to ban him from delivering a lecture on campus. the committee's excuse? they claimed the lecture would not be academic enough. let's bring in a spokesman for the group that invited the professor to speak. we have other stories to get to as well. they ultimately allowed him to speak on campus, but not at that particular venue, which is bigger and they put him off to the side somewhere and they said you can speak over here, the unwashed professor. what's going on? >> that's exactly right. i don't think it's any secret to you or your viewers that there's a real crisis and ideological diversity on college campuses. what surprises us is the excuses liberal

bring in media research center director, tim graham. great to see you, what is your reaction?big smear. look if the part where he said a then -- ough represents a big c. that is absurd. what is less absurd, when chris hayes within on memorial day week, and said he was uncomfortable using word hero to describe our war dead he represented a significant chunk of the obama voters, is that fair? >> that is a great point. really media deciding what news they think you should see. by the way. what was not pointed out president trump did get 8% of the black vote, 28% of hispanics, 27% of asians. what is your take in media going wall-to-wall on stories like the roseanne barr story with other stories to cover. >> i think there is a answer, this tweet was objectionable in the extreme. but these people love talking about race, not a mystery they all scheduled a an hour long ton hall meeting to talk about, their title, every day racism in america. they think that everyone in america is a racists, there is no time to discuss, i watched it how about farrakhan? how about people who think that

it is so bad that there is 91% negative coverage, according to the media research center. >> it's unrealount of negative coverage that comes from the media covering this white house. nowt' just because it is so one-sided but because there is so many good things that they could be talking about. the economy is booming, isis is on the run. remaking of the judiciary. getting rid of the individual mandate. the foreign policy, and the relationship that this president has built. d every single day, there's a good news story to tell. and yet, 90% of the coverage is negative.f john, one of the clips i hope you will go back and watch it, i think jim acosta also said, he would love to go one-on-one with president trump. just a note to jim, i think he should stick with going one-on-one with me because president trump is way out of his league. i don't think he wants to take on that challenge because he want win. iia think the media bias is outf control and he was a leader for the pack. >> sean: he wants to be an opinion person. i am a talk show host. as a talk show, sometimes i do straightht to news

it's so bad that there is 91% negative coverage according to the media research center. >> sarah: it's unreal the amount of negative coverage that comes from the media covering the white house. not just because it's so one-sided but because there are so many good things they could be talking about. the economy is booming. isis is on the run. remaking of the judiciary. getting rid of the individual mandate. the foreign policy and the relationship that this president built. every day there is a good news story to tell. 90% of the coverage is negative. one of the clips i hope you will go back and walk that i think jim acosta also said with the interview he would love to go one on one with president trump. note to jim. he should stick to go one-on-one with me because president trump is way out of his league and i don't think he wants to take on the challenge. he is definitely not going to win. the media bias is out of control and he is a leader of the pack. >> sean: if he wants to be an opinion person, i'm a talk show host. sometimes i do straight news interviews and sometimes i give opini

the media research center tracks coverage, closely the media coverage, reveals in a new stud dishes 91%ing, the president's poll numbers, look at bottom, citing another news network, they are actually climbing. ainsley: if you don't understand what that mean, it says his approval rating gone up. december it was 37%. end of april it was 43%. here to weigh in, senior editor at the federalist, fox news contributor mollie hemingway. >> great to be here. ainsley: why is approval rating going up so drastically? >> a few things. when everything is a problem, nothing is a problem. the media has been saying histrionic hysterical things about donald trump since he was elected, before he was elected. it causes people to tune out. there is no distinguishing between things that might be a problem and things every one can tell aren't. it is also true what the media as think of negative can come off very positive. so when the media say, gosh this guy is abnormal, doing things the way you're not supposed to do them, they portray it as very negative thing. for a lot of americans sick and tired the way w

fair treatment from the big three television networks, a new survey from the conservative media research center finds 90% of negative analysis on trump in broadcasts in all of their coverage during the first four months of the year. that's identical from last year, too. the study found the russia probe dominated the coverage of the president and his administration. so let's talk about this. if it doesn't have, david, stormy in the headlines or doesn't have russia, it's not part of the news it seems. >> you got to drill down and name names. on sunday i was watching one of the talk shows, abc, george steph indianapolis, he used to attack critics of president clinton who called him out for some of his lies. he used to be his attack dog. and she was criticizing this president for lying. find somebody at cnn or msnbc, i don't think you are going to find them. they called president trump a liar on air. you don't have that diversity of opinion elsewhere. i don't mean to toot our horn, but you have a diversity of ideas you don't get elsewhere. >> do you think this is going to backfire? >> harris: i thi

broadcast evening news tallied by the media research center. e been saying this for a long time. the harder and harder the media hits this president, the more his poll numbers. >> greg: i am not sure if these numbers are rising despite the attacks. are the numbers rising because of the attacks? over the top manic, chasing every possible story about stormy. it's revolting to america. they are like, physically and mentally impossible for trump to be all of these things. it all can't be true. i think they start looking at the media as though they are at a carnival sideshow and they are looking at the two headed goat. it's the media that's in this hysterical crazed bubble. americans are going, these guys have got problems. >> jesse: do you think the numbers rising are a result of the negative coverage? or despite the negative coverage? >> dana: i think it's based on reality and results. i was on the seven day road trip. houston, nashville, met a lot of people. saw a lot of people. watched a lot of local news. no one is talking about washington, d.c.

for more details we are joined by brent bozell, founder of the very important media research center.great to have you. first appearance on the show. where have you been? tell us what you found. >> it's a massive study done by dan gainer and ashry goldenberg. it's 50 pages documenting what conservatives have been suggesting has been happening. it sounds hyperbolic but it's true. it's emerging of the greatest censorship of free speech worldwide in the history of man. let me explain this. the left is on a jihad against conservative thought. it's happening in am dame yeah, religion, everywhere. now they're going to the social media giants. these social media giants have audiences in the billions. and what we've shown in this massive report is whether it's facebook or twitter or google or youtube they are employing different tactics. >> laura: let's go through some of them. here's some examples. google search aids democrats and study found that 2016 campaign searches were biassed for hillary clinton and facebook and google are relying on anti-conservative fact checkers like snoeps and wik

the media research center finds he was on that at work 59 times in less than two months.e a day, for those bad at math, like me. avenatti is indicting his true intentions. >> we are going to continue to use the media. we've used it with great success. this entire process is about results. that's what we are ultimately interested in. >> jesse: stormy's attorney telling vented or fair multiple networks are approaching him about having his own show. avenatti reportedly pitched msnbc directly about joining. a juan, this guy is a publicity hound. you have to admit it. >> juan: he is using the press ably. >> jesse: and the press loves being used. >> juan: greg was talking about how kim jong un is reading "art of the deal." i think in this case, avenatti is following the trump blueprint and how you use media to advance your political cause. he is doing it ably, i must say. giuliani is on the air all the time. maybe he has picked up on this too. how to use media to advance this cause? avenatti is effective. i think that's why they keep having them on. the stormy daniels story is

this is according to the media research center.as the president's approval ratings are on the rise with an average of 43.2% according to real clear politics, a 6% jump from december of 2017. here's todd starnes, fox news radio host. shocking look at the media evening newscast and found 90% of the coverage was negative but at the same time his approval rating is going up. do you think there's a connection there? a disconnect? >> it's shocking that 90% number. i thought that was rather low. i thought it would be 98%. look, the nation's a lot smarter than i think we give them credit for. so-called deplorables out there. i think they can see through the news coverage and understand what's really going on. especially when they look at their bank accounts. the economy is doing great, people are getting money back in the bank accounts thanks to the tax reform plan, and when they see the mainstream media focused on stormy daniels. see the mainstream media focused on the russia collusion nonsense, they see through that and they understand t

abc, cbs, nbc according to media research center, 91% of their coverage according to mrc is negative.> looks like somebody carved a little time oust his schedule to watch some of "fox and friends" this morning. [ laughter ] he can save a lot of time -- if he just gave fox news his twitter password, he could save who knows how much time? and by the way, i'm pretty sure 91% of the coverage of the ebola virus was negative too. didn't make it fake news. meanwhile, another stiletto has dropped in the curious case of stormy daniels. her lawyer michael avenatti released documents that say michael cohen received $500,000 from a russian oligarch who has close ties to vladimir putin. the guy's name is viktor vehicles'llberg. not only did he give cohen half a million dollars for reasons unknown, reportedly he deposited it into the same account cohen used to pay stormy the $130,000 in hush money. this is viktor vekselberg with putin. you see conspiring. really every photo of these two looks like there's some sinister plot being hatched. that's not suspicious at all. [ laughter ] this guy wasn't t

an updated account of his television appearances by the media research center found that the creepy pornhas been interviewed 147 times since march 7th. that's more than two appearances a day, every day. 74 of those televised interviews were on cnn, they are proud of d that. 57 were on msnbc. if you want to remain safe, we i advise two courses of action. first, remain there bright lights in the way from empty alleyways and second stay very close to a fox studio in your area. he has proved totally unwilling to even get anywhere near that. thank heavens. on twitter, you may read former cia head john brennan spouting off about the political news of the day, attacking the president's dishonesty, he says. it turns out brennan himself is a liar. he's been caught lying. odd for a government official. last year, for example, brennan told congress the infamous steele dossier had no influence at all on the intel community's claim that russia interfered in the 2016 election. here's a selection.. >> do you know who commissioned the steele dossier? >> i don't. >> did the cia rely on it? >> no. >> why

we'll bring in media research center to set the record straight after this. ♪ termites, feasting on homes. we're on the move. roger. hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. termites never stop trying to get in, we never stop working to keep them out. terminix. defenders of home. at crowne plaza, we know business travel isn't just business. there's this. a bit of this. why not? your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. which is what we do. crowne plaza. we're all business, mostly. >> america's allies had urged the president not to do this they are reacting to night and so is iran, already with a new threat. >> they are dismayed and bewildered right now saying that america is arrogant, can't be trusted. >> trump promised to pull out of it. today president trump did, with widespread implications. >> the u.s. is essentially reneging on the nuclear deal with iran. >> across europe there is a chill tonight that the u.s. under president trump may not be a reliable partner anymore. >> they have basically said to the rest of the world, we are not obeying an agreement

media research center rich noye, turning point usa founder charlie kirk.n the eye of the beholder. fake news to this administration is negative news. this would not be the first president didn't like hearing bad things about himself but the point he was making, that the administration is making it's over the top negative and there is a reassessment in order here. is there? >> without a doubt. look no president is above criticism. in fact the press plays a necessary and healthy role to keep the public informed and really put pressure on the administration to stay honest but this is completely and totally above the pale. the accomplish manes of administration, look what is happening in korea. despite this network, seems like the only network giving kudos where it is due. some of the networks are talking about the nonsensical story where history is being made truly in front of our eyes. i think it is having adverse effect. you see 91% of the coverage is negative. what happens the american people start it tune out, i get it already. things are actually pretty

i want to get the read from access media reporter, sara fisher, media research center expert, rich noissorry i lost my place, sir. get your thoughts on the unusual nature of what the president said here. i will get into the korean stuff here, but this idea he already moved forward called this "spygate." there might have been plants within the trump campaign. you know, sort of sniffing around there. he says spying on them. others have said the same. is it your sense this develops into something or much ado about nothing? >> well it is too soon it tell as the president referenced that ig report that is supposed to be coming out shortly will give us more information but it is important to recognize this is a pivotal moment for the trump presidency. it sort of solidifies positioning between them and sort of the mainstream media and the intelligence forces. even just using the term "spygate" is the president's way of calling this out and calling it a significant issue to the american public. neil: i like the way he said, that is what you call it. started with him calling it that. you got to

interesting research about social media and in particular this thing called twitter, which you may have heard of. and finally robert farris, the research director at harvard's client center -- kline center for the internet and society. robert has been involved in a lot of different research projects, but when i found valuable was a lengthy report about the nature of news coverage in the 2016 election and the media echo system that was in some system created in the context of that election which he may be talking about a little bit today. i will first turned amber for her thoughts. >> it is exciting to be here. i would like to start in thinking about the spread of misinformation and disinformation by reiterating a point of jason and ej made at the beginning. this is not a new phenomenon. it would be unfortunate and not a little bit ironic if we accidentally misrepresented or mischaracterized the prevalence and criticality of misinformation and disinformation. it has always been the case since the beginning of human political communication that we have sought political information to understand the world, and used medical information in order to try to share and promote ou
