donald trump does not like the media. he does not want to be confroronted by the e media. oes not wantnt to have news confererences.s. three days after he was elected, barack obama had h his first nes conference. three days after he was elected and the supreme court decideded thatat election, george w. bush had his first news conference. donald trump has not had a news conference since july. he has not had any news conference since he was elected. ist he wants to avoid here being ganged up on. he is desperately afraid thahat there mighght be a a variety of questions coming from various news organizations about the same set of issues. and that would make him look and feel less powerful. and so like many -- and i use this word advisedly -- many dictators were tyrants in history who do notot want to hae news conferences, they do not want to be bothered d with ququestions from the press, dond trump is avoiding the possibibility that he will have many different news outlets asking him and pummeling him with questions. he does not want that possibility. amy: and finally, you talk

immedia the media. we don't have the trust, that's a problem for us. >> jim, give it to her. >> the column that you referred to actually had -- >> jim is a media critic for the "the new york times." go ahead. >> the column you referred toed a a beginning, a middle and an end. the idea was that donald trump was challenging the norm and it raised a lot of questions up top including where does the old rule book fit in. and where that column concluded is journalism shouldn't measure definition of fairness. it's journism's job to be true to the viewers and readers and true to the fact. that stands. as for the briefing room, the american public will not care if we lose or seats. i get that. i used to sit in the briefing room. the seat were left in the press's control so it wouldn't seem that the white house is -- >> that's right. >> mr. gingrich talked about rotating reporters around. maybe that's something they consider. >> that's not going to have a whole lot of an effect. but if there aren't tailly briefin

that's what the media seem like. whichever direction they turn they just keep stepping on rakes. >> a cartoon character. but the debate here with trump continuing to bash the president, and journalists by name, you know, should he be more gracious? and unifying? or is it better for him to be riling up his base and keeping them. >> yes he should be more gracious and unifying. but yes it's better for him politically to rile up his base. in a normal world, they would not be very mutually exclusive. no, he knows that the people who voted for him, and the hard-core trump supporters whenever he sends out a tweet that says the media did this and its outrageous, they're going to believe him no matter what the actual objective truth of the matter is. so that the way to keep people on his side is to keep people worked up. >> right. >> to a grand total of two electors going rogue against trump and four against hillary, yes, of course it has to be covered. but sort of interesting. should we now admit that this was blown out of pr

to the news media it is about notice of -- to the news media. out notifying the public of important things. issue is the public statements, public documents published in the newspapers. for $70 million plus a year in newspaper revenue. you takern: -- guest: this away, you are taking away the understanding of what is going on in people's these. i am not going to shy away from the fact that it is a way to economically -- newspapers. we forget about public notice. do we want the public to know actions? e government i think we do. on the third page of some local government's websites, there is no way to notify the public. host: do you think this is vengeance by governor christie? guest: i don't know what is going on in his mind, but i do know the way it has been saving a to the public bunch of money for the taxpayers without being any evidence, and there is a long history of animosity between the governor and the press. it makes you wonder about the motive. host: let's talk about fake news. how did this come about? guest: there has been fake news for

the media is using up all of the ammo now and we see the reports and they do not trust the media and a constant garage of donald trump and seem bias throughout the election ocess. >> yeah, but the focus on having dealings with russia. well, the ceo he had dealings all around the world and that's one of the reasons that president-elect donald trump is thinking of choosing him. >> well, alarms and exxon chief could empower putin. accord to go the services and the way that they're thinking. seems like again the political battle lines are being drawn in the media accounts. >> well, i think that i saw a statement from them to this effect. you clearly see the right divisions but right right divisions and understandably so. i am not taking anything away from donald trump's victory. but these reports that strike me as credible and though as you point out should be questioned and that's about the russia interference and then putin at the very least deserve questioning and scrutiny. that's the confirmations here and if there are republicans senators and good for them for doing the con vising j

the nation's first social media president. think about how you use your cell phone in ways you didn't eight years ago. well, the white house had to reckon with that as well. obama's relationship with the press was -- complicated. so what should we learn from the last eight years and how can it apply to the next four to eight years of a trump administration? let's hear from reporters who were there covering the president every single day, david gregory, former white house correspondent and host of "meet the press," now a cnn political analyst. april ryan, white house correspondent and washington bureau chief for american urban radio networks, and ann compton, former white house correspondent for abc news. thank you for being here. >> thanks. >> ann, my impression, maybe i'm wrong, is that obama respected the existence of the press corps but resented of how some reporters do their jobs, the breathless coverage, the demands for more access. does that sound right to you? >> he scolded us, sometimes with four-letter words. >> four-l

but with the mainstream media, i would say the way we in the white house view the media is that it's a spectrum, right? there's "the new york times," there's "the washington post," but there's online outlets that do excellent work, mike.com is one we've done work with, buzzfeed has done interesting things, it's not all cat videos, i promise you. i'm not in the media, but this us versus them is very problematic. one of the soul-searching things the mainstream media needs to do is figure out how to actually reach people and change how they do that. >> something in response, jen and i were talking about this earlier, here is an astonishing fact about the obama presidency. it's okay. because you're going to -- you know, you can explain why that's a totally sensible choice, right? so president obama came when he was president-elect obama for an editorial board meeting, because, once again, we had failed to lure him when he was a candidate. so he came for an editorial board meeting. and this is a true fact. that was the last time he spoke on the record to "the washington post." through two

the media -- hitting the media is a crutch for you. it's not about the media. >> it's not a crutch. >> the way donald trump lies has people rethinking journalism, like the assumption that everything a president says is automatically news. i think trump does it differently than past presidents. his lies are different and deserve scrutiny. >> never in a million years could i have imagined myself on the stage in new york reappealing for the safety and freedom of the american press. i base that on obviously donald trump's rhetoric against the press. i feel i have to stand up for my own tribe in the united states. >> the president-elect took to twitter. if the press would cover me accurately and honorably, i would have far less reason to tweet. sadly, i don't know if that will ever happen. three journalists with decades of quality reporting under their belts somehow allowing the idea of a trump presidency to throw even these veteran journalists off their game. i would say trump is living rent free in the mainstream media's heads. i love it.

a quandary for the news media. since election day the president-elect has proposed a u-turn and american diplomatic relations with cuba, boasted about negotiations with a major manufacturer, trumpeted false claims about millions of illegal votes, and he might of been current free speech laws by banning flagburning. news organizations grapple with coverage. account,ump's twitter a bully pulpit, propaganda magnet all rolled into one. a fresh journalistic challenge in a source of lively debates in newsrooms around the country. guest: yeah, i think this is an evolving issue for newsrooms. first of all, to have a presidential candidate, let alone president-elect, actually tweeting, was probably news for a while. the very fact of the act of it at some level was news and created coverage. then you get into a whole thing about everything a president-elect or president says, is it all news? rarely do they say publicly, yes, it was. i think we will evolve to some of these tweets are incredibly important, very newsworthy. rela

his campaign is against the news media, jaurnlists, zeleny and cnn as well as the entertainment media. baldwin may be the perfect foil for the republican president. what are the consequences of an anti news media campaign? joining me with answers, john hughey, former editor and chief and co-author of digitalriptide.org. celina from the "new york post" and frank from the gwu and former cnn washington bureau chief. you wrote turning reporters into enemies, not just adversaries is the kind of horrific thing we expect to see in venezuela, russia or cuba, never in the united states of america. is that where we are? at the point where we have to talk about what it means to have an authoritarian as opposed to a democratic president -- >> i'm not prepared to brand him authoritarian yet, but he certainly is sounding that way. i think the point i was making in that piece is the media have had throughout our history an additional relationship with the president and people in power. that's our job, that's your job. the people in pourt don't like it and they have an add sarg relationship back. tha

the media, they like to go around the media. we don't need the media. texting, facebook. on the one hand, it's the immediate why's fault. on the other hand, we don't need the media. we can make end runs. the second is what the media has done and very poorly -- sorry, is to make congress inept. >> that's all right. i gotta go. we will try to alert the affiliates for a second hour. it won't happen this week, but maybe next week. if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." >> you can see more end game in post game sponsored by boeing, on the "meet the press" facebook page. >>> hello,'m richard lui and a very good sunday to you. welcome to "pulse of america" right here on msnbc where your voice can be heard in real time. these are the stories that we want to get your pulse on today. the chinese state media saying that donald trump's phone call with the president of taiwan exposes a trump team with a different take on the foreign affairs, and was accepting the call a shrewd move or mistak

trump went off calling them the dishonest media. is he sending a signal as president he's going to continue his hand-to-hand combat with the press? >> i think he is. he's doing this because he's hoping it will inoculate him against the media when in the face of future controversies when the media continues to criticize him, but what the media could do is take this as a challenge to be sharper and more precise in its coverage. >> let me play you a bit of what trump had to say in the rally and get your reaction. >> breaking news, donald trump has won florida. they say, whoa. and we won it big. but then the people back there, the extremely dishonest press -- we won in a landslide. that was a landslide. we didn't have the press. the press was brutal. >> he did face a lot of negative press. would you have advised him to rub salt in the wounds of some of these battles with the media? >> donald trump is a master at creating these narratives. every good narrative needs a bad guy. the press has willingly played in. >> willingly? we like being

so they the media, on the other hand, we can make end runs around the media. what the media has done very poorly is to make congress inept. >> yeah. right. >> sorry. >> that's all right. i have to go. we'll try to alert the affiliates for a second hour. not going to happen this week. we'll be back next week, maybe for two hours. because if it's sunday it's "meet the press." >> you can see more "end game" and postgame sponsored by boeing on the "meet the press" facebook >>> new detales on the devastating inferno at the warehouse known as the ghost ship as the death toll continues to rise. >> we believe that a lot of our victims were in their 20s to 30s, and have 17-year-old victims. >>> global reaction continues to pour in from donald trump's phone call with taiwan's leader, and the incoming president's tweets on trade. >>> cheers from the dakota pipe liep as protesters celebrate a major victory, but not everyone is happy. >>> a frightening incident involving a man who fires a

facebook subsumed the media. the media requires facebook it spends took f. much time railing against facebook or worrying about the fake news on the opulation, it is going to let power wane even more. host: katie from apex, north carolina, good morning. caller: good morning. max, i hope you would address my phone call in your own professional the standards of journalism, which ave definitely been drifted away from in that now the onversation is in regard to "fake news," where viewers were seeking information and the were gettinghat we was that a lot of these different news sites were biassed.y a lot of interviews when people were confronted with things that released tunately through wikileaks were flat-out be ed and later proven to true. when you have someone that you're hopefully receiving truth from and then you repeatedly have evidence that is case, there needs to be a commitment first to professional journalism before a 're going to have conversation about fake news. going to f you're discuss fake news, then what was the real news. constantly give an exam

it was much noted by the media during the campaign, especially since he would pop up on local tv interviews. while that's not new for presidential candidates, another allegation has surfaced with regard to trump, that his campaign cut a deal with a major media company to try to get better coverage. none other than trump's son-in-law and trusted adviser jared kushner described the deal to business executives at after off-the-record meeting. "kushner said the agreement with sinclair gave them more access to trump and the campaign." in exchange, sinclair would broadcast their trump interviews across the country without commentary," kushner said. they own dozens of stations across the country, including swing states told politico this kind of deal is nothing new. the offer for extended interviews was made to both candidates. trump did a handful of interviews while hillary clinton did not. they have already abandoned many norms with regard to the media with the motive of making it more easy to shape their coverage. trump himself has given so little access to the media since the election. trump s

describe the propaganda media. drop the term "news media" until they earn it. the propaganda media cannot come to grips with the level of talent they are dealing with. you -- i would say to you -- a brief commercial " is available as an e-book. was puzzled. the first breakthrough with me was the fox debate in august when trump and megyn kelly got into a brawl. if you watch after that debate, everybody in the elite, groups groups,ocus social organisms, they talked themselves into positions they did not believe. a key part of what happened in 2016 is they finally had the guts to say, no, that is not true. and people that, while we did not do was either. laughter] mr. gingrich: i am watching after the debate all of these people pontificating and they are unanimous. there were still 16 other candidates at that point. on the internet, on the various voting things, not just from right wing places, 70% of the people voting were picking trump. i am sitting there as a historian going ok, all of the elites believed this and 7

the media go haywire over that. >>> plus the journalist who was filed over tweeting something about donaldtrump and his former wife ivanka. i'm howard kurtz. and this is "media buzz." we begin this morning with a woman who has become the face of the presidential transition. kellyanne conway. she joins us from his mar-a-lago estate in florida. good morning. >> good morning. >> let me start with something that the news story said was false. he said if russia or some other entity was hacking, why did the white house take so long to act? why did they complain only after hillary clinton lost. but james claerp formally accused the russians of hacking during the campaign. how do you reconcile the two statements? >> they're easily reconcileable. he says it actually interfered in a way that switched the election results toward hillary clinton. he wasn't willing to do that which puts the president at odds with many in his party. i would say even hillary clinton is saying at her party or wake or whatever you want to call the russia hacking affected the election results. no, they did not. she knows sh

we don't need the media, we have twitter, we have texting. we have facebook. one hand, it's the nemedia, on the other hand,e can make end runs around the media. what the media has done very poorly is to make congress inept. >> yeah.t's l right. i have to go. we'll try to alert the affiliates for a second hour. not going to happen this week. we'll be back next week, maybe for two hours. because if it's sunday it's y c and postgame sponsored by boeing on the "meet the press" facebook page.

well the media doesn't get it on the economy. look at nbc, meet the press, chuck todd, they wanted to turn a great story into a bad one by grilling vice president-elect mike pence over the carrier deal. >> the only reason carrier is staying in the united states is because donald trump was elected president of the united states. >> this is a government sbo intervene in the private sector. >> sno. >> why isn't it the government intervening? >> a lot of hoosiers have -- >> 700 don't. >> i couldn't be more grateful for that and the people of indiana couldn't be more happy. >> 700 don't. >> i know the glass is half empty according to the media. >> hitting the media is a crutch for you. >> overpaid media leads by chicky todd, they don't care that job were saved and probably never would. i spent 20 years of my life doing blue collar work. obviously trump needs to go back and try it. fortunately president-elect trump understands they're never going to be in his corner. that's why he says his focus will be on fixing the broken economy for

let's watch. >> this is a problem with the media. you guys took everything donald trump said so literally. and the problem with that is the american people didn't. and they understood it. they understood that sometimes when you have a conversation with people, whether it's around the dinner table, or it's at the bar or wherever it is, you're going to say something, you don't have all the facts to back it up, but that's how the american people live. >> we have to be able to figure it out what the parable meant. if he said something like jesus in the bible, what he really meant was, he didn't mean this, he meant that. how do we report that? >> it's hard to report. and we need to take things literally, because when people are president, their words matter. but i actually think the analysis which i first saw in the article in the atlantic that voters took trump seriously but not literally. reporters took trump literally but not seriously. voters were less consumed when things were demonstrably untrue than -- >> he said obama wasn't really

, just a couple hours ago he blamed the media. eeting is because the media gets so much stuff wrong, and he says i guess they're not going to change that, so i'll probably have to keep tweeting. trish: yeah, no, that's right. >> 100% true. trish: look, at least the advantage of twitter is he can take his message directly to the people in the words and ways that he wants to do so. let me ask you about something else that the media's been picking all up on, and that's his cabinet choices, that they're all so wealthy. they're also ang that he, in their view, is not going to be able to properly distance himself from his own business if he puts his daughter in charge, for example. they say that's not enough. what exactly do they want him to do? do they want our president to go out and liquidate a business that he's actually built, thereby discouraging, i might add, dan, any future billionaires, entrepreneur, successful people from seeking that office. >> there's absolutely nothing that trump can do except resign and hand over the job to

the news media does not report when the plane lands on time. if there's nothing in the e-mails disdebbie wasserman shut was tripe to skew the election to the -- the primary towards clinton and not bernie sanders, we would have nothing to report. we don't report boring e-mails. so, not that is -- >> er boring e boring e-mails didn't get a fraction of the coverage or good copy, some of the salacious comments donald trump made. i remember that and if he was buffoon and speaking out of turn and didn't know his element. the comparison of that coverage versus the staffers and what they were leak ought about hillary clinton, just didn't think there was any compare son. that just my point of view here, but adam? >> i agree. i was thinking the same thing while the president was speaking today. the media, i think completely appropriately, was extremely tough on donald trump throughout the campaign so i think the media did its job and i'm happy to hear you leading that conversation that i think agrees with my point, neil, and i think my prepares -- >> i'm

the media, they like to go around the media. we don't need the media. we have twitter, texting, facebook. on the one hand, it's the immediate why's fault. on the other hand, we don't need the media. we can make end runs. the second is what the media has done and very poorly -- sorry, is to make congress inept. >> that's all right. goit ta go. we will try to alert the affiliates for a second hour. if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." >> you can see more end game in post game sponsored by boeing, on the "meet the press" facebook wisconsin and people from wisconsin again, at the center of the political universe. >> i'm charlie sykes, and sunday

i am concerned that in studying up the narrative about the media and the dishonest media that what weare headed for is not just journalists being targeted but journalists being shout-out. you hear people from the trump administration saying we shouldn't have the daily briefing, we can have a debate about that, but overall, the media represents the idea that the founders had in mind, the media represents the people and that we are there to question the president and the congress and if we are shut out of the new administration, it's going to be really hard to get any kind of meaningful facts out to the public and specially if that public is so disdainful of the media. i can tell you that the people i know are not rich personalities, people who work for proper salary compare today people they covered with a lot of abuse online and in person. jon: also true that most of the media who would actually report donations or report who they voted for supported democrats in the most recent election cycle? >> no, that's absolutely true. i mean, i used to cut my teeth as being conservative media c

the national media. if you want to be sure, take a position 180 degrees opposite, you will be close to the truth. reporter: for trump and his supporters, the election was a fight against the establishment, political correctness, and the media. >> it is a battle of the heart and a battle of the mind. it is us versus the legacy media. >> they seem shocked that the silent majority has awakened. >> there is no truth in journalism. it is dead. reporter: the media wasn't exactly popular even before the 2016 campaign. americans' trust sunk to historically low levels. >> what you say should be the news, not your twist on the news. reporter: the biggest skeptics, like this group in knoxville, a mixture of students, retirees, and local politicians, believe the mainstream media no longer sees america as they do. >> no one is telling these cupcakes on university campuses that you cannot just take the popular vote. reporter: take the protests on hate crimes. >> protesters are marching because the cupcakes are so to di

>> trish, the media is the not only out of touch, but they're complete hypocrites on this. where was the media complaining about how rich president obama's cabinet picks were, people like kerry, people like mills? they said nothing! >> we're right back to that double standard again. but bruce, you're concerned about this. you see a little hypocrisy? >> well, i do. i don't think it's the media in this. i don't think trump is playing to the voters who elected him. i mean, remember when during the campaign, hillary was bad, ted cruz's wife were bad, because they took money from goldman sachs and now it's great for him to bring goldman sachs people into his cabinet. >> all right, but, you know, sabrina and bill, bill, i'll go to you first, bill, don't you want people that have a little life experience? and i'm talking business experience there in the white house? isn't that the goal here? >> more than that, trish, i would much rather be governed by people who make their fortune before getting elected rather than after. you can count on wilbur ross not going to some uranium deal

and the association of news media. we do a lot of policy work included work on the foia bill and working with the white house correspondents association three years ago on the letter that complain basically to president obama about the lack of access that reporters and photographers were getting to white house events. and that is a precedent that i think the incoming president is going to want to take advantage of. restricting access, controlling the flow of information, and although it wasn't as apparent in the current administration, one way he will take that is if your access will become i'm not an essay pay to play but much more preferential. it will become access journalism a little bit more than accountability. the problem is that you don't have a lot of good ball to push back with. that is my big fear, there's not a lot of legal precedent when the president says, were going to have a meeting with the japanese prime minister and what you'll get is a handout photo that we want you to see but you won't see anything

. >> what a great turnout, i want to thank all of the media. what a great opportunity to get together and discuss something that is really remarkable. >> all of us know there has been great upheaval this year, not just in the u.s. but across the whole world. we thought with brexit, a lot of -- we saw it with brexit, a lot of people wondering what was brexit all about. it's really simple. people wanted their country back. they were tired of centralized bureaucracy, people in other lands, other capitals making , decisions for them. it was simply sovereignty and self-determination. we saw that here in america with donald trump being elected president. people do want their country back. he said things like you don't have a country if you don't have borders. things we have been told we could not say any longer as conservatives. he talked about trade agreements working for the best interest of america. he talked about government working in the best interest of its people. there are still people here in washington and the media that don't seem to under

. >> this is the problem with the media, you guys took everything donald trump said so literally. >> when candidate trump says -- >> we're going to drain the swamp. >> what does he mean? what about repealing obamacare or the conversations with the leaders of taiwan, pakistan and the philippines? this morning, my interview with the vladimir putice-president-e governor mike pence of indiana. >>> post-election bitterness. we're bringing together top campaign figures from the trump and clinton campaigns. kellyanne conway and joel bennenson. and why after losing 63 house seats did the democrats choose the same leadership team? >> i have a special spring in my step today. >> can democrats reach new voters with the same old team? joining me for insight and analysis are amy walter, rich lowry, agrndrea mitchell and heather mcghee. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >> from nbc news in washington, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> good sunday morning. there used to be an ad campaign on tv when i was a kid for ef hutton whose tag line was when ef hutton talks, people listen.

using social media outlets. at thesame time, i think there are two trends going on where there is a proliferation of more ideological news media publications and a widespread belief among conservative voters that the traditional press is a liberal establishment. and i wonder how you see those trends playing out under president trump. >> run that by me again. how we see the trends of the proliferation of the more ideological news organizations at the time that the public pics the mesh thinks -- public thinks news organizations that may not think of themselves and who's getting access. that trend. >> the short answer is i don't know. my guess is i can see some comparisons between kind of a geographic connection and what i mean by that is when president election, more chicago media came and were interested in being part of the white house press corps. is it possible after trump there , will be more conservative leaning news organizations that will start covering the white house on a daily basis and perhaps get encourageme

and those people whether it's the media or their readers, are about to make the same mistake that all the anti-obama people made. a lot of people sat around on cash for eight years now in commodities, in -- waiting for america's decline in thinking obama is going to destroy the economy and the stock market. they missed out on the greatest bull market in one of the histories of the presidencies. and now the other side is about to make the same mistake and think that the policies of this administration are going to lead to doom and destruction and decline of america and everything. and they're going to sit it out. and possibly miss eight years of maybe not as good a period in the market, because we came up with a very big low and higher valuation, but certainly nothing to be avoided sit on cash and hide until the end. i think to not think your politics are so important let it cloud your opinion on investing or what the economy's going to do. because ultimately the policies of these administrations aren't as important as you think they are. >> john, do you worry that the media and that n

members of the media you know, tend is, i'm trying to get a sense of what you're expecting from the next president from president-elect trump's tone, from his tweets. i get the sense he's going to be just as hostile toward the media as president as he was as a candidate. have you talked to him about changing or moderating his approach when it comes to the media? >> that's a great question. and again, i think it's a rather big brush. there's a lot of folks as you know, he does a lot of interviews and speaks with folks. >> yeah. >> it's not everyone. but i think we understand from the president-elect down that the media is a healthy part of our democracy. but we also as much as the press has a right to as much as there's a right to free press, there's a right to free speech. when a reporter reports something false or incomplete, we have equal right to go back and make sure the record's corrected. one of the unique things about donald trump among many is that the number of people that follow him on social media give him a

we wanted to give it a new fuel and it is an example of the media. they created the sites that didn'depend quite an attack ad. we had over 125,000 visitors and the research adds and what is great about these visitors is these were actively seeking information about the democratic candidates in the district and we were able to reach them. back to the search results. another ad on the page. when they click on this it would have the spot running on tv and on the internet. at the wronthe wrong for us page directed users to click on display ads and designed to look similar to the video created so every page but with different. you could watch the video and this doesn't do justice but read more about the candidates and videos and sign up for more information. >> back to the search ad. one thing we did differently is into different out some of you might argue i will note a. when anyone searches for the district we have to add. let's move on to some of the digital. most people saw this running in the pc market. it's not going to be able to play. anyway, she w
