( laughter ) when one female fox contributor tried to talk to shine about the sexual abuse at fox news he seemed more interested in talking about the eagles, telling her she should watch a showtime documentary about the rock band because their story was very similar to the story of fox news. hmmmm. you don't know why they are so influential and only old white people listen? yeah, checks out. ( laughter ) in fact, shine was so toxic after leaving fox news that he was considered untouchable by many other perspective employers.

the way i think about it, erin, what bill schein and roger ailes did at fox news, they didn't depictocrats as people we merely disagree with on policy or politics or taxation, they depicted democrats as being the enemy, as being bad people, as being soft on national security. so it does strike me that this is something that the president's been doing, but to flip it into a national security concern could reflect bill schein's influence. let's make the media just as awful and evil as they could possibly be. >> amy, what in the world could the president be referring to when he says the media can cause war? just to contextualize this, the media's job in the past year has included reporting on a president of the united states, who has promised to unleash fire and fury unlikes the world has never seen on kim jong-un. called kim jong-un little rocket man. then went to a summit with him where they were best friends but we are causing war? >> well, erin, look, i think the whole point is he's fed up with the fake news. he's echoing the sentiment of the millions and millions of people across t
