time when critics accuse mainstream media of making unsubstantiated claims a case in point is a newsweek feature on republican senator tom cotton which caused doubts on his military career it centers around calls claim that he served as an army ranger based on a 2 month training course only well newsweek insists that the title ranger is associated only with an elite unit in the army while the senator says the army ranger is always applied to ranges school graduates including by newsweek itself with dade in the 2015 article bear with me here the outlet did identify 2 female ranger school graduates as army rangers but the news weeks recently revisited that 5 year old piece changing the wording there so that it fits the let's current narrative that the title ranger is reserved for elite army unit members only conservative commentators are bracing for a new climate of hostility under the biden ministration on fox news anchor indeed a stern warning for where the country's heading in his view you see those efforts all around you know never in american history has there been press censorship on

media are being accused of singling out republicans for character assassinations one example is a newsweekfeature on sen tom cotton and a long running claim that he falsified his military career and revolves around cottons claim to have served as an army ranger based on a 2 month training course he once did a range of school the magazines that is that the times a ranger is associated with an elite unit in the army or the senators that is the liberal media have always referred to a range of school graduates as army rangers to illustrate that point back in 2015 newsweek is self identified to theme brain just school graduates as army ranges but recently the outlets edited that 5 year old piece to say that women will be allowed to wear the coveted ranger top on their uniforms meanwhile a conservative commentators are bracing for a new climate of hostility under the bided administration and one fox news anchor had a stern warning for where the country is heading you shoes are all around you know never in american history has there been pressure on this scale well i spoke with legal and media an

you also see in this case pictures from newsweek magazine.t photos that had leaked covering newsweek magazine from 44 of remains at my demonic, and the killing of one of the nazi concentration camps. the victims shoes. and himmler, the architect, on the cover of time magazine in october of 1943. the article in the interior of the magazine reads that the gestapo have organized a program of destruction without parallel. we show then multiple american magazines are covering this story. we don't have a name for the crime. western churchill famously says a 1941 we are in the presence of a crime without a name. and we wanted to tell a story of the exhibition of rafael, this man who coins the word genocide during the war. he defines genocide as the deliberate destruction of a nation or ethnic group. in 1944, december 1940, for the washington post runs a editorial simply titled genocide, which speaks of the atrocities going on at auschwitz and birkenau as purposeful killings. i think part of americans doubt, and part of their unwillingness to believe

he was on abc's newsweek.

for more, we're joined by william arkin, national security reporter for newsweek, whose recent pieces headlined "threat of pro-trump violence in washington overshadows inauguration security plans." can you start talking about what the police and the authorities are most concerned about today in the streets of washington, d.c.? >> their most concerned about donald trump, whether he is going to instigate the thousands of people who have flooded into the district to take a violence either to march on the capital or even try to enter the capital during the elector count. the people i have talked to -- and it has been a broad range of national guard, law-enforcement, say toy officials -- all me this is an unprecedented moment. unprecedented because you have a president who is not only instigating protest and violence against the constitutional process, but also because there are other conditions which have been introduced. first talk of martial law. second, talk of implementation act, whichrrection would allow the military national guard to engage in law enforcement. third, a kind of brea

melinda liu, the beijing bureau chief of newsweek magazine.iktor olevich, the lead expert for the center for actual politics think tank. at a time when democracy is in retreat and so much of the world, how much of a threat does the attack that transpired on the capital in the u.s. pose to democracy in the u.s. and around the world? jason: obviously the last four years have been terrible for the brand of democracy. it reinforced the thought that democracy is hypocritical, it is a mask in the u.s. for white supremacy, for naked power grabs, and minority powers and the wealthy to use ultra nationalism in the service of their own glorification and power. yesterday was hopefully the culmination of that. i am hoping that the backlash to yesterday will help the brand of democracy rather than harm the brand of democracy. of course, it is obvious what the effects of yesterday were and how it will be exploited by figures like gyre bolsonaro -- jair bolsonaro. mohammed: xi jinping has been holding up china's surveillance state as a model the rest of the

. ♪ gerry: i'm back with "newsweek" opinion editor josh hammer and mat welch.f the things that the everybody's talking about right now as they look to this coming year, more generally in terms of the state of politics in this country and much of the west is the have we entered a new phase in global politics, the decline of liberal democracy. we've got the sort of neo-liberal order that josh was talking about that's kind of run things seems to be falling apart. do you think it is falling apart, and if so -- i'm sorry for such a brief period of time -- what's replacing it? rewe entering a period of sort of authoritarian populist nationalism, and what should we look for in 2021? >> this has been happening for ten years. people who measure this stuff closely have noted the rise of both left-wing and right-wing populism. this is a left wing, a kind of, a variant of it that you see in latin america and elsewhere. populism, for me as someone who's oriented towards individual rights and economic freedom, tends to not be my friend. it doesn't produce the outcomes that i

that was highlighted by "newsweek" today showing that some of the newer vaccines colingology -- rolling. johnson and johnson, are less effective against some of these variants. it makes it so much more important to have widespread vaccination quickly because you want to cut these vaccines off a at the knees. you don't want them to get too far into the country. i think it makes next month or so a really critical period and heightens everything the biden administration is trying to do. getting shots into people is so much more important when you have these variants that are more contagious tarmenting to circulate in the country. amna: the effects of the pandemic and the recession ripple across the country. millions of americans are struggling to stay safe and fed and in their homes and the country's g.d.p. is shrinking more than since world war ii. just yesterday, house speaker nancy pelosi said this about the hope of a bill. >> we would home we would have bipartisan people to moo elt the needs of the american people in terms of health, equitable distribution of the vaccine, tracing and t

from beijing melinda liu the beijing bureau chief for newsweek magazine and from moscow victor only of its lead expert at the center for actual politics think tank welcome to you all jason let me start with you today at a time when democracy is in retreat in so many parts of the world how much of a threat does the attack the transpired on the capital in the us pose to both democracy in the u.s. and democracy around the world well obviously the last 4 years have been terrible for the brand of democracy they have reinforced the the thought of the enemies of democracy that democracy is hypocritical it's a mask in the united states for white supremacy for for naked power grabs and for minority powers and the wealthy to use ultra nationalism in the service of their own glorification and our and yesterday was the hopefully the culmination of that so so i'm hoping that the backlash to yesterday will will will help the brand of democracy rather than harm the brand of democracy of course it's obvious what the facts of yesterday were and how it's going to be exploited by figures like jay or both

congressman clyburn set up this monumental newsweek were we have inauguration, first-aid agenda, bidenoing to the hill, and the impeachment trial of the last president. an enormous amount of news and a lot going on. what is everyone looking for? >> tomorrow, joe biden will come out with a ton of executive orders. he likes to say day one. and how different will tomorrow feel like than today? how many of these executive orders have a legal precedent to them? how many will change? will he lead by executive orders like president trump and in some ways a less permanent effect on the country? like we were saying about clyburn, he will be useful to president biden as a consensus builder. that has been one thing he could do. been able to convince progressives to come along and unite as a party. democrats and republicans have the same problem, their parties are splintered. they need these consensus builders to bring them together if there will be any impact. >> what about you? >> i think the first thing i am thinking about is the inauguration. that is a point where joe biden has been promising

at the beginning of the nazi regime where you see hitler on the cover of vanity fair, time, and newsweek. this one is particularly fascinating. that's joseph on the cover of the time magazine. july 10th, 1933. there is a 3000 word article in this magazine covering nazi germany. and what you see even on the cover under the words minister of propaganda girls is say it in your dreams, the jews are to blame. so americans who were picking up magazines like this. these are popular magazines, could have read about the rise of fascism in germany, but what is not hidden here is the fact that antisemitism is essential to nazi ideology. this doesn't mean that americans could have predicted in 1933 that mass murder is to come by the 1940s. but also, it doesn't allow us to say, oh we didn't know. we couldn't let americans of the 1930s off the hook so easily. we want to tell in the exhibition a lot of individual stories. here we are showing american magazines, and a individual story about dorothy thompson. dorothy thompson is the first american journalist expelled from nazi germany in august of 1934.

first amendment itself simply did not apply to the actionsch private organizations whether it be "newsweekcnn or twitter. >> thank you for clarifying. the "c" word, censorship comes with a heavy connotation. is this censorship? >> well, that it is censorship of a sort. it censorship means not allowing someone to speak isn't a particular context because one disapproves of the message that the individual will communicate. but on the other hand, it's important to understand that censorship of that sort is common in media. i have no right to be on cnn. donald trump has no right to have his speech quoted or transposed in "the new york times." all of those entities, when it be newspapers, magazines, tv, radio, cable, they all have complete discretion to decide for themselves what to broadcast or what to print. or whatnot to broadcast or to print. you can call that censorship if you wish. that's part of making decisions how to decide to use limited resources. what makes social media different is that they're not limited in the same way. cnn only has so many hours in the day. "the new york times"

"newsweek," they felt the necessity.y were caught with self editing a 2015 report about senator cotton's military service and an apparent desperate attempt to support a recent piece from salon against senator cotton. here to react to all of this is senator cotton. it's pretty protectable. first, there is not one single good american that didn't watch in a post 9/11 world what happened at the capital without saying how could this ever happen in this country? we can't let that happen. they knew hundreds of people were coming. they knew also apparently investigators discovering all of the signs that a lot of this was preplanned. that is according to "the washington post," cnn, and court documents, senator. how could this happen in a post 9/11 war? >> they have resigned and they should have. and there may need to be more accountability for senior leaders. they did a great job that day. they were underequipped. they didn't have enough manpower. there wasn't enough preparation. my point is that the force posture always needs t

happened after 9/11 those were elevated, you have people who i think at the time was looking at newsweek supported both afghanistan war and iraq were, obviously had no shortage of airtime, people like him and so on and so forth. and even though he's very well-respected at the time, the late edward was not getting invited to speak on primetime television on his positions of these issues. i think the muslims who supported the wars were listen to in elevated the people who express the sense were considered to be ravel browser's and potentially even traders. there was not a sense that it was welcome, this is something that was restricted to muslims, i remember he had a piece in the new yorker a week after the attack because she expressed worry about what might happen in a country in which everybody is exposed to the same three or four slogans and talking points and that indicated toward the massive war. so she was expressing concern about that, she was attacked in the press for weeks. in u.s. foreign policy could cost people their careers really. >> i want to look at self-identity a little b

"newsweek" has a couple opinion pieces.bout what happens when there's fewer and fewer places for people to share their opinions. under the headline, after parler ban. they say conservatives can continue to marginalize themselves in tiny ghettos of the internet but that does not really represent what americans understand free speech to be. free speech is not just about who speaks. it's also about who hears. your reaction to that idea that free speech should be on the major platforms and there should be enforcement. these are private companies. >> it's really interesting. we started back in 2013, the platform rumble and we started it on the premise that the small creator was getting centered. if you think of youtube in 20072008, the most popular videos were "charlie bit my finger. 2013, you're not finding home-based video content and now you fast-forward to 2020 and you're seeing censorship happened across the spectrum for all kinds of different things. it's really, really scary. back in july of 2020, we had congressman devin

in newsweek, magazine put, it candy did not show that he was nixon's master. he did show that he was nixon's match. that was enough. subsequently, kennedy recognized that nixon's willingness to debate him which was an enormous break for him and later told the news man that nixon was a fool to debate me on tv. election results were to prove the accuracy of kennedy's judgment. it may seems to professional, the fact of much of kennedy's success was attributed to his personal appeal. -- kennedy's physical imperious and charm and charisma were terrific assets. according to one reporter who covered the kennedy campaign, kennedy acquired a quote, star quality. previously reserved for most movie idols. now like into the atmosphere kennedy's political reality, to which -- screaming jumping young women. and then there was kennedy's with. typically quick and dry. his -- nixon who was always under meticulous restraint, one standard line of kennedys was quote, mr. nixon had been calling me -- a pied piper and all the rest. i just confine myself to calling him a republican.

. >> joining us now, "new york times's" homeland security correspondent and editor at large at "newsweek" and author of "how to catch a russian spy." zolan, can you give us a sense of what is in place right now in washington, d.c. around the capitol? >> right now, we're seeing almost the full blunt force of some of the federal government's law enforcement resources in downtown washington. it's a washington that many people here would not recognize. you have about approximately 25,000 national guard troops, including troops that have been pulled from different states. let's be clear, that is more than such members in iraq and afghanistan combined at this point. you're going to see fencing and barricades that are extending that perimeter outside, so in an attempt to not have the types of crowds of thousands that you saw outside of the capitol last week. for this event, and by event, i'm referring to the inauguration, you have the secret service. they have designated it what's called the national special security event that puts them at the lead with federal resources behind them for suppor

writing in newsweek at the end of reagan's second term, george will lamented, how wildly wrong reagan about what is happening in moscow. he has accelerated the moral disarmament of the west, an disarmament will follow by having wishful thinking to the status of political philosophy. so december 8th the day that the treaty was signed, will be remembered as the day that the cold war was lost. that did not hold up very well george by the way. but nonetheless, by the time that reagan leaves office, conservatives are looking at one another, and they are saying what did we achieve? we got tax, cuts we got tax reform, but did we fundamentally change the trajectory of the united states? and many of them conclude know that we did not. we did not succeed in this denver. and not only about that, george h. w. bush is about to be elected president. and that's going to school only further frustrate, that. so there is this sort of, belief that we haven't really achieved what they said to achieve. they have not transformed the country in the same way that fdr did in the 1930s. and i want to pivot, no

let's go now to the latest on the capitol hill riot force and bring in former double agent and "newsweek" editor-at-large. great to have you here. fbi agents are working to unravel all the events that led to the attack on capitol hill. there's an alarming new article by "the washington post" which writes investigators cautioned there's an important legal distinction between gathering like-mined people for a political rally which is protected by the first amendment and organizing an armed assault on the seat of american government. the what are your thoughts on this? how much of this attack do you think was coordinated? >> i think a lot of it. the problem that we're having right here, alex, you know, when i talk to federal law enforcement officials they say we don't investigate ideology but we know that's not true. in a post- 9/11 world, you know, the nypd investigated every mosque within a 100-mile raidus of new york city. in fact, they went so far that they had to pull back and disband part of their unit. when it comes to the fbi and white supreme courtsy they have a terrible record of
