you had groups like the media research center that were criticized in the media for a liberal bias and yet with a network like c.n.n. you had an organization like the media research center that could go to c.n.n. and i could meet with the president of c.n.n. and could lay out their grievances and discuss it c.n.n. might might not agree alternately but there was a discussion that could be had there is no discussion any longer there is an antagonism toward the conservative movement that we've never seen before the conservative movement in general and donald trump in particular the likes that no one has ever seen before well before before we get back to my question let's talk about the conservative movement what what particularly do you mean by that because you know as someone who was an active critic of obama during his administration and active critic of the media under obama critical of his drone bombing attacks critical of his disregard of the rule of law when it came to bring osama bin laden to justice and really delving into the circumstances behind the horrific attack. i was critic

david: thank you, hillary joining us to weigh in is media research center vice president dan gainer soo what extent are google and facebook and all of the other social media free riding on the backs of media outlets that do pay for their content? >> yeah i'm in a weird spot because on one hand, yeah, i think anti-trust looking at these companies for a lot of reasons but the journalism industry has no reason to complain. they're getting infinite number of clicks, visitors, the problem they've got is they're not keeping them. that's their fault . that's not google and facebook's fault. if you get visitors to your website and they don't stay that's on you. this is like buggy manufactures complaining about the car manufactures. >> so dan, at the heart of the anti-trust issue is lower prices , does this increase prices for consumers, and, you know, is it anti-competitive but in the case of amazon for example, it actually lowers prices for consumers, so what is going to be the argument? is it solely on the base that they are pushing competition out and exhibiting anti-competitive behavior be

according to the media research center, cnn and msnbc prime time shows last night wasted 72% of theirg about president trump's comment that he would hypothetically want to hear foreign political dirt. disgraced former acting fbi director andrew mccabe, one of the leaders of the trump coup attempt, under investigation for lying under oath now, weighing in on impeaching trump. >> i'm not a political person. i'm not a political operative. i respect the house leadership and the fact that they may be considering, you know, a lot of polls and political strategy in the way to figuring out what to do next. i think we are clearly there with the results of the special counsel team. there are so many witnesses who could provide important, essential testimony to congress that could only be done in the scope of an impeachment inquiry. i think that action should be taken immediately. gregg: andrew mccabe. why would anybody in their right mind even talk to him? heritage foundation hans von is spi kousky joins us. hans, great to see you. i read mccabe's book, it was painful because it's as nauseating

here to discuss, senior fellow of the media research center and fox news contributor lieutenant colonelat to see you. >> good to be with you, charles. charles: let's start with venezuela. an amazing piece was put out today by "the financial times." apparently for some reason the central bank of venezuela shared some economic data. inflation 130,000%. 130,000%! gdp down every single quarter since the beginning of 2014. this is not a new economic implosion but it feels like it can't get any worse. now russia is pulling out. >> of course it can get a lot worse. that is one of the things that russia is looking at, their return on investment. the economy of russia is smaller than the state of texas where i live. russia cannot afford with their type of economy to stretch itself so thin across the globe. i'm sure they're looking where can we pull back. when you know that right now russia is heavily involved with what is going on in syria. they're doing things in crimea, eastern ukraine. they have to start looking where can we focus or resources. i don't think venezuela in the long term is as i

you know, the media research center did a poll and 65% of conservatives on social media feel like they'ree not being heard. we know the white house just announced they will have a social media summit in july, where they are going to be talking about these issues. there's been a lot of hearings on capitol hill. ted cruz has been very vocal on this, the senate judiciary committee is looking at this, because these companies have a monopoly and the president is right, they are left-leaning democrats that own and kind of don't have any competition and have the censorship ability to see what voices they want to have heard. stuart: i think the president's got a very good point because these companies dominate the news and what we see as news and what is presented as opinion and they just carve out no space for conservative opinion at all. i think the man's got a point. >> i do, too. stuart: you think he's going to sue them the break them up? >> i think on maria's show this morning, one representative already is suing them and -- but i think we will see legislation to make these markets, make the

research center. thank you forjoining us. we have already had north korean estate media reporting about this. it is quite a big response. by the north korean public? it will be received extremely well. after the collapse of hanoi, has been political pressure in the system and when there is uncertainty and instability of the top it gets socialised downwards so people have been very stressed out in the last few months. political study sessions have got more intense. more demands for people to profess loyalty and fine mistakes in others. it has become a pressure cooker. if there is clarity now between north korea and the us in terms of policy, it will be good for the people of pyongyang and the rest of the country. critics saying this was just a gigantic photo opportunity. it was certainly a photo opportunity. the president, as we know it likes media attention and he is very good at getting it but it is more than that. the symbolism of what he did was necessary to unlock the frozen process that had really settled into a kind of a stasis after hanoi. the north korean had not been communicating for the past couple of months

in the forensic discipline we have our center for media forensics. we researchhniques to detect manipulated audio and video. colleagues at other universities and other research institutions work on this as well. host: i want to show the viewers with the house intelligence chair had to say about this issue and his concern about deepfake videos used in the 2020 election. [video] the russians can inject into our political bloodstream falls video and audio that is almost indistinguishable from real. in the highly polarized electorate like we have today, if you released a video of a candidate saying something racist or misogynist or criminal, they would be -- they would be almost no way to disprove his veracity. even if you could disprove it, psychological -- psychologist will tell you the damages done. even if your brain is persuaded what you saw is a forgery, you will never lose completely the negative impression of the person that was formed. this is what the future could look like if we are not prepared. he had to about what say about 2020. you can never undo the

the center is made up of more than 50 scholars of color whose research, teaching and public engagement place race at the center of our work on digital media and technology. what it means to place race at the core of our understanding of technology and why it is necessary to place race at the center rather than at the paris feel of today's most prominent controversy about digital technology is the focus of today's event. and so, to set a backdrop for both today and then introducing our first panel i want to bring us a few words just from a historical context, i want to draw your attention to a headline, the headline reads, collision course, for civil rights and automation. no, this is not one of the many headlines about facebook. lawsuits because a platform enables the most egregious kind of discrimination. nor did it follow the recent news that tsa body scanners is proportionately flagged black girls and women because of their hair. neither was it about location data used to threaten more innocent people of color. know this headline above followed none of these recent conflicts about race, technology, and civil rights. but it could have.
