when you say the media portrayed the bill as being a great thing, i think the media has -- if you readt out that it's a message aing bill. hr4, the john lewis act, is something a little different. that would reinstate the voting rights act that congress let expire and never acted on. howie: ten seconds for a response. >> the media maybe are not exclusively monolithic but maybe sufficiently so that you can characterize their behavior as partisan. they're not allowing debate on this. the big problem in america, it's not expanding voting without having anti-fraud measures but precisely the opposite. we need to make sure we can trust our elections, winners and losers alike. howie: thanks very much for joining us this sunday. up next, a flood of anti-trump information is raising allegations against the former president. why the media can't seem to let it go. [ echoing ] some of us were born for this. to protect people. to help them save. with a home and auto bundle from progressive. ahh. i was born for this. and now it's prime time. cut. jamie, what are you doing? you're not even in this on

this is a very familiar criticism expressed in the social media and also in the digital news media. very fine voices in the digital media space — publications like the wire, publications like scroll, quint, the caravan magazine and so on. and i would like to add frontline to that list, the economic and political weekly and so on. but by and large, that's not... it's not representative of the response from the news media in india. no, but surely one point here is — and we go back to the very opening premise about india being a democracy — what we know from elections is that mr modi is the dominant popular politician in india today. we know that many readers of many media organisations�* platforms, such as your own, probably vote for mr modi and many media owners and journalists see an interest in attracting readership, attracting advertising. and all of that, for many of them, persuades them that there's merit in being loyal to the current government. yes, they do, but then you see many examples around the world of elected leaders turning autocratic, authoritarian. you saw what happe

the media works for the rest of those. the corporate media is bought and sold is controlled by the rest of that complex. now it's the military, industrial, congressional intelligence, media, academia, think tank complex. i call it that. make you mad. now back in the day when i was working as a, there was a lot of interference with the media that a lot of people placed in the media. the church commission was in 1975 if memory serves, and there were some steps taken aboard it. so one decade later, bill casey comes in under ronald reagan, bill k, she becomes the director of central intelligence. and the 1st thing he says at the 1st cabinet meeting in the white house, and i have an eye witness there and told me this when we have dish our information . so that everything the american people believe is why we will have achieved our mission. bill casey, a direct quote, shared simultaneous or contemporaneously with people or the washington post. so, you know, i don't know where bill case she is now. she's probably, well, i think,

not the media. use their profit model is always pointing fingers, so it is impossible for them to implicate themselves, so if the public is sick of their lives, that is the public's fault. they just assume they can smear americans and push policies meant to punish them and we will still be here for them later. now they are creating a narrative that domestic 9/11 is just around the corner. >> if we don't do this, then what happens, in your view? >> well, look, i think it is our inability to imagine what will happen, which is our greatest danger. is a replay of 9/11 and we cannot imagine what this attack on america, and we have to get out of that. it could have failed. >> greg: so what is it going to be, you bozos? are we terrorists or slave owners? are we on the road to another civil war, or another 9/11? i'd say make up your mind, but you need mines to make up. joy and that freak can barely scrape four brain cells together. this is a great opportunity for me to expand how to assess the media in a way

ok, which is just a blackout in the mainstream media. there's a lot of things going on in his case, but they won't talk about it. okay. but it's being this is that not just misinformation? it's just the policy of omission all of the time. go ahead, daniel. well, i think it is, you know, that the process of the media and the, and the intelligence community merging, started and has been facilitated by war if you remember. and you can go back further, i'm sure, but i would market the 1st gulf war, where you started seeing generals and other military personnel appear on cnn and appear on the other networks as experts they brought in their outside expertise and they brought it in to explain to people what was happening, of course it was colored by their affiliations. then you saw an increase in that of course in yugoslavia, more military people, more intelligence people. and now we're at the point where we're not bringing in outside experts to serve to explain military operations to civilians. you're actually seeing a merger between the intell

the media flip-flopping on the covid will him loudly after misleading the public on that that over theears until and it's on the gop race, the white house said it would support state three imposing covid-19 restrictions w and lockdowns in the white house also says it's up to schools, colleges and companies if theyf want to s.mandate vaccines. which is it, they stand for joining us i'm elizabeth macdonald in "the evening edit" starts rights now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show you're watching the fox business network we begin with president trump filing a lawsuit that seeks punitive damages against facebook, twitter, google youtube as well as mark zuckerberg, jack dorsey over censorship after they in the wake of capital riots and much more lauren simonetti has the details. >> good evening former president donald trump filing a class-action lawsuit against the country's biggestla tech compans twitter, facebook and google and their ceos, this marks the latest exhalation with social media giants of free speech and censorship of conservative viewpoints. >> were demanding more from and add

we know the media, they will pretend like nothing happened. the story will vanish like joy reid's homophobic blog posts because in the end, they are all rats, just like avenatti just with more places to hide. welcome! tonight's guests. he did stand up for 10 years until someone realized you're perfect for a job without laughter. "fox and friends" co-host brian kilmeade. as a vegan, she won't hurt hurt animals, but people? that's another story. fox business network anchor dagen mcdowell. his audiences shout requests like "please stop talking." comedian joe machi. and she's a ten. but enough about her blood alcohol content. fox news contributor kat timpf. brian, you have been here 20 years. you made a lot of mistakes. a lot. we have seen. almost like every week. it is a parade of errors. but you at least admit your errors. should the media that fawned over the sky apologize? >> brian: can i look at the stat sheet? a lot of errors? i agree with you about the cooking segments. a couple things. by the way, this crowd of 4,000. they are fantastic. mo

crickets from most of the media. with any of the intensity that donald trump did every day. >> he doesn't lie with the intensity that donald trump did every day so i don't think it's apples to apples to compare them. when you look at cnn's fact checking. howie: that was wrong. >> when you look at cnn's fact checker, daniel dale, who was famous for fact checking trump and he also fact checks biden. i think there are fact checkers looking at what joe biden is saying. there's a long history of presidents doing town halls with networks or anchors they feel more comfortable with. i think the fact checker were out there. they were doing their job. howie: there was a period in the town hall when biden really stumbled, conservative commentators jumped on this. i want to play it for the viewers. >> and the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are -- why can't the experts say we know that this virus is in fact -- it's going to be -- excuse me, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily ap

and now we have this, the media, many in the left-wing media is pushing on critical race theory. he teachers union demanding mandatory vaccination of all students and staff before they reopen. what do you say to this? >> well, parents not only are they fighting back but getting arrested at school board meetings for speaking up against mandated vaccinations or critical race theory. this is, it is incredible what is happening in this country. i think like many americans, like myself included, my family, my friends, my neighbors, we're often turning off the news at night because it is so negative. elizabeth: you know at least six states have passed bills that is moving to ban concepts associated with critical race theory. at least 20 more are considering similar legislation. we've got cnn accused of gaslighting and portraying anybody who criticizes critical race theory as quote, idiots, after african-american parents came before school boards saying don't do it. you're dividing our children, teaching them to look at people based on the color of their skin. they say they don't want th

the people who post the content. social media is different to traditional publications in the sense that mark zuckerberg is not like a newspaper editor. that's a great disruptive thing about social media. people using new technologies to express themselves. we all have a responsibility. people are posting content. what we can do it facebook is remove and block things that would lead to direct harm. in terms of trying to connect people to useful information so they get reliable information about what's going on in an election campaign, we create resources. we created a voter information center, directed 140 million people to it. that was election day alone. that helped over 4.5 million americans to vote who otherwise wouldn't have registered. we have 80 fact checkers in over 60 languages around the world. they can independently label things as missing context or probably false. here's the big but. at the end of the day, the right to talk gibberish, the right to talk nonsense is a fundamental right. i don't think anyone would want

look at the media today, look at big tech. do not believe in differences of opinion, competition of an opinion because marxism doesn't believe in free speech. they are righteous, narrative, they get to decide what the language is, to characterize events and that's how i will answer this. >> sean: how they embrace the most radical ideas ever and used to talk about joe lieberman once the vice presidential candidate for the democratic party and he wasn't radical enough to the party and then he had to run as an independent as you recall but democrats for a long time tried to hide their true beliefs. now they are openly embracing things that they had never embraced before and advocating for. the biggest power grab ever of any major political party in history. i don't care if it's packing and stacking the u.s. supreme court, d.c., puerto rico statehood and the legislative filibuster and seem to be open with it all. in other words, the radical left now controls this party. it is now a major force and runs the democratic party. a fair

hollywood and the liberal media, no balls whatsoever. s think about the top gun sequel maverick. his bomber jacket they had to take off a patch that had taiwan on. john in the fast and furious made a great mistake of calling taiwan a country. he had to apologize to the chinese over that. let's put this into context. if during the cold war imagine if dan and chevy chase had to apologize for fighting the russians in spies like us or roger moore and other people that played james bond. you take your pick of films where hollywood had balls during the cold war to take on russia. now they will bend over backwards for china. >> spies like us. i am glad you called that out. that's a good motive. -- movie. we are about to celebrate independence day. you lost your legs in the u.s. military. what does the flag mean to you and your family? >> well, when i look at 15 stars and 13 red and white stripes i see the opportunity to wake up every day and make today better than yesterday. it doesn't matter if yesterday you lost two legs and a finger, in ameri

media. as a matter of fact, the term mass media. no longer really has much meaning as does the term mainstream they're mainstream has gotten so wide, but it's also gotten shallow. used to be the main stream was narrow, but very deep. you had these big ocean liners that could pass through. and if we were doing this, this water analogy, but now it's widening mainstream and you have to really look carefully to see who you're dealing with. i think that everything has been disrupted in terms of turning the tables. politicians have been saying bad things about the media all the way back to thomas jefferson, who perhaps was the last politician to say, i'd rather have the media, the government. i'd rather have a corrupt media that a corrupt government, john paraphrasing, thomas jefferson. but after that, most politicians have blamed the media when it didn't go their way of a could. spiro agnew in richard nixon. you won't have nixon to kick around anymore . we just tend to think that the now is, is like no other time before it's difficult run

this is the marker of the media myth. to embrace the presumed power of the cronkite moment really is to embrace the dubious magic bullet theory of media effects. the magic bullet theory which proposes that media audiences take in media messages and are profoundly moved by that. the magic bullet effect has a powerful and immediate effect on its audiences. the media messaging has immediate effect on media audiences. that's what's at work here if you buy into the moment. his words had supposedly a powerful, a sudden and decisive effect on the thinking of the u.s. president as well as the public. also, to embrace the cronkite moment is to ignore a vigorous pro-war speech that lyndon johnson himself had given that very day earlier in the day in february 1968. he was in dallas, texas at midday where he delivered a speech in which he declared there would be no breaking of america's words on commitments in vietnam. the headline shown here from the chicago tribune the next day. johnson's promising blood, sweat and tears in vietnam

the wording,if the language, the media, the institutions they use. want to get ahead of myself here but now that we have identified the problem and in the next segment, we will get to what the solutions are but more importantly, i want to ask you this. you said in liberty and tyrannyt in one of your past books that we are in a post-constitutional america. do you still believe that? and can we get it back before we get to our next segment which is how toet choose liberty and save this country? >> in many ways, we are in a post-constitutional america. we just had an election and two lawsuits in pennsylvania, one in particular in which the lawsuit said apart from ballots in all of it that the constitution makes abundantly clear in article two at the state legislatures make election laws in the states particularly as it applies to the selection of a president and vice president so you have the state of pennsylvania where the governor, secretary of state, and radical left supreme court changed the laws, the election laws in pennsylvania at the urging of t

i think the media has done a terrible job on this. guy, you're full of sanctimony. you become one of the problems of the media. you come on here and have a monopoly on truth. you know exactly how things are supposed to be done. you know, you are why one of the reasons people can't stand the media. i'm sorry. >> you're cracking me up. >> it's your fault. >> so what should i do differently, michael? >> you know, don't talk so much. listen more. you know, people have genuine problems with the media. the media doesn't get the story right. the media exists in its own bubble. >> that's true, i agree. >> you know, you've got to stop -- i mean that last segment that i just had to listen to, of all of the people saying the same old stuff. also you're incredibly re repe repetitive. it's week after week. you're the flip side of donald trump. you know, fake news and you say virtuous news. you know, there's -- >> no, we just figure out what is real. >> well, figuring out -- yeah, figuring out what is real is not so -- is not so easy. and most peop

it's a great formula for the media to get excited about. ays it will be a non-partisan investigation. in fairness they tried to do the independent commission. republicans didn't go for that either. what is fascinating to me. kevin mccarthy. house minority leader. he threaten any republican went on the committee as pelosi's appointee might be in danger of losing their committee assignments. doesn't look like he is following through. this republican infighting. go out on a limb saying reporters love this sort of thing. >> of course. this is, this is, like i said, it is, a lot of, what we gravitate too on capitol hill is about personalities and conflict certainly liz cheney sitting on this committee, the conflict will only intensify. there will be leaks about what they're uncovering. they have got subpoena power. they can actually subpoena mccarthy who as we all know had the very tense conversation president the day of the right i don't think, he tried to get the president to help call off the protest. there is a lot of interest in trying to ge

coming up, the worst media offenders of the week, that is next, stay there. >> it's jason: it is easyb to media bias the ingraham angle is keeping track of the worst offenders of the wii, former cnn commentator and contributing editor of the american spectator and the president of accuracy in media. first up, m s nbc's claire mccaskill doesn't want to watch fireworks on the fourth of july. the has a great new deranged tradition. >> come to start a new tradition in my family on the fourth of july and every fourth of july going forward we are going to watch that video the new york times put together of january 6th. jason: what a twisted way to celebrate our nation's independence. >> i can only imagine, if this was 1775 she would have been supporting the british because she would have been opposed to the boston tea party and opposed to the battle of bunker hill. there is a whole list -- there's a whole list of videos and movies about all of those that maybe she should sit down and take a look at. this is unbelievable and maybe even she might want to watch the interview lawrence jones did

to try to gain that protection for the media. but i note that it could be strengthened with a greater explanation of presumptions, but also, i believe it has to be rewritten on the definition of what constitutes a journalist. it has frozen in journalistic amber, age is out of date. i would suggest examining that. i've only said this as did i 15 years ago. we cannot afford the consequences of leaving the media exposed the way we have. that will leave not just them exposed but the public in the dark. it will be as madison that, a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or both. we can avoid both and we need to pass this law. thank you. >> thank you for your testimony. >> chairman nadler, members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to testify today. we have learned in the last few weeks that the justice department has secretly sought the email and telephone records of eight journalists who worked for three media companies and what appears to be a purposeful attempt to evade the protections of the law and the department's own guideli

the way i look at this is if you have the media in this country that the democrats control and you run that through a filter for social media companies, it makes it easy to govern as long as you were doing in the united states. so you run a campaign, you hide in your basement, don't answer any tough questions. the same thing happens here in the united states. he's been snapping at his own press people that they control that's even when they're giving him cards to tell him how to answer certain questions. but here's the problem, putin knows exactly how this works. he's a former kgb guy, he runs the press in his country. the same thing with president xi. he does the same thing with the chinese communist party propaganda all throughout the globe so when he sits down with these people, they laugh at him because they know his cognitive decline. probably some of the other people that get to sit one on one with him. very few members of congress have sat down with him for any length of time. so the way i would explain it is when you get out of the real world where people will kill others, take

of issuance, the media organizations would've n able to challenge them in court. stead, and events of the prosecutors were seeking three-year-old records for publicly recommendation the department justice was able to convince a magistrate judge in at least one case that informing the journalist of the request would quote seriously jeopardize the ongoing investigation by giving targets the opportunity to destroy or tamper with evidence. congress should now act to more fully protect the rights of journalist to bring crucial information to the public. the audible members of the judiciary committee should consider several legislative enhancements -- honorable -- the strongest and simples way to protect the rights of journalists to report on the actions of government and the rights of the public to receive such reporting would be to pass legislation banning governmental inquiries into journalist horses there as attorney general garland has now said he would strive to do. this would be the simplest response and would demonstrate the importance of the free flow of informa

for the media.tes that don't have those have common law protection for the media. the act of 2017 is great platform supported by both parties t and each time we move back to enactment. i am critical aspects of the law even though i would take that in a heartbeat. to try to gain that protection for media but i note it could be strengthened with greater explanation of presumptions but i also believe it has to be rewritten of what constitutes the journalists, journalism has changed in this world. the definition in the law and journalistic and age is out of date. so i would suggest examining that. i would end with, i did 15 years ago and it this way, we cannot afford consequences of leaving for media exposed the way we have. w that will leave not just them ex post but it i will be as madison said, pro forma tragedy and we need to pass that law. >> missus oberlander, you may habegin. >> chairman napa, ranking member jordan and members of the m committee, thank you for inviting me to testify today. we hav

now a brief message from me to the mob in the media. i have no idea why, but in the last week my coverage of coronavirus, covid 19 got the attention of the liberal press and their attempts to paint this great network of ours which has varying opinions, which is fair and balanced, to paint us as a dangerous anti-vaccine network. they watched this program and were shocked to discover what i said and they had been saying more months and months. "suddenly sean hannity and other fox hosts are urging viewers to get covid 19 vaccines." and another one: sean hannity begs viewers to get vaccinated. another quote. these reports are all false for multiple reasons. first i touted operation warp speed since the beginning. in january 2020 i predicted i had so much faith in american research and the medical community and scientists and it was my prediction it would likely be american genius that will help us find therapeutics and vaccines and answers. i praised the efforts of all of the scientists and medical profiles. those involved in developing ther

these three trump trashing books from the media. you know why we hate the media?u know why we hate "the new york times"? because it deserves that, as i explained in my book. "the new york times" was a mouthpiece for stalin in 1932 with walter duranty in moscow when he was slaughtering ukrainians. "the new york times" covered up the holocaust. their man at berlin was friendly to the nazi regime for "the new york times" is responsible for fidel castro in that awful regime that is there abouout the reporter, matthews d so forth, it is a horrendous, poisonous corporation. forget about media, corporation. this is what we need to focus on, we cannot allow this corrupt media to push this country where it's pushing it. and notice, there's not a dime's worth of difference between most of the media in this country and where these american marxist movements stand, whether it's blm, whether it's the green new deal. they stand for these movements, they stand for this party. we have to stand for ourselves. nobody's going to say, not the republican party, and other conservative

the west. cooperation between american and chinese media. then you see the major funders go on tv to start talking how president xi is not a dictator, he is. doing a good job on the environment. the biggest polluters to making coal-fired power plants and bloomberg is supposed to be a climate activist it's a business move for a guy who seems to have a napoleon complex worth $50 billion. >> what is sleeping giants? most are not aware of these things with the significance and how they are being receptive to your work. >> it's part of a generation of self-appointed sensors to try to sanitize it from content they would argue is fake news or creating violence or spreading misinformation but they do it for those that put out content that does not fit that establishment narrative and as so often is the case the test cases of breitbart the sleeping giant was not related to the ad executive and a woman in tech. these people did not go to breitbart routinely intel trump juan and we were associated with his rise so they found if you opinion pieces writte

and the role of social media companies. cism in football, as the prime minister calls on social media firms to �*up their game�* to combat the issue. meanwhile social firms, such as instagram, have been responding — and make the front of the i. it reports that various messages sent to players didn't break their guidelines. so let's begin. we are going to start with your paper, actually. interesting, steve baker. here we go. warning conservatives that perhaps they need to change their stance on taking the knee. , . , , ., knee. yes and this is an intervention _ knee. yes and this is an intervention from - knee. yes and this is an intervention from an - knee. yes and this is an | intervention from an mp knee. yes and this is an - intervention from an mp who is a former minister who has been extremely influential in the party. he was a campaigner for a very hard brexit, one of the leading rebels against theresa may's leadership and her deal. and he broke cover on tuesday to carol his party that they need to think again about di

of the national news media in 1968. so let me stop this the presentation here for a moment and ask for your observations. responses to those questions. does it matter somehow more if cronkite was the one who said stalemate? or wasn't he just clean catch up. by february 1968 shane please. um, i in regard to whether or not concave letter role. i'm more inclined to believe he's catching up. i think there are a lot of contextual factors throughout the fences. they're really interest me when considering in the media popularity at the time. i think when i was in high school first learning about the pet offensive i learned it is kind of a news event that it was happening with kind of the inception of color tvs and a lot of households and color tvs and news reporting and i think there's something to be said about the fact that not only was his statement something that had been president by other reporters, but that there are a lot of events and changes to how the news was getting reported and and being distributed to what extent

what is the emerson collective, and why should consumers of the media be aware of both? one of the most fascinating characters and i know nothing about is relevant to this. she is the s widow to steve jobs from apple and pixar sometimes people forget. when he passed away in his 50s, she inherited tons of money, 15 million, 10 million, something like that. her net worth now perhaps is $20 billion. she's one of the wealthiest women on the planet. and if you -- there's very limited things written and she doesn't do a ton of public appearances but what you would learn about her is that shend ia woman in tack and a philanthropist who inherited a bunch of money. i started to look into what she runs into she's in charge of this thing called the emerson collective that is run as her personal trust. it is a hybrid philanthropic investing arm. i still don't get it and i've been staring at this stuff for months. i think that is 100% on purpose to hide what she's up to. it has a lot of alumni on their board and they thought almost exclusively democrat causes. i noticed a thing where

media group. previously she was the general counsel for media operations at media works. before that she was the general counsel of the new yorker were shows a road for the new yorker .com for many topics. early in her career show so worked at ford's and nbc. she received a b.a. from -- an age 80 from columbia law school. we welcome all of our distinguished witnesses and we thank them for participating today. i will begin by swearing in our witnesses. i asked that the witnesses please rise and raise a right hand. i ask that the remote witness turns on her audio. make sure i can see her face and the raised right and will administer the oath. do you swear under penalty of perjury that the testimony we are about to give is true and correct to the best of your knowledge, information, and believe so help you god? let the record show the witnesses have answered in the affirmative. thank you and please be seated. please note each of your written statements will be entered into the record in its entirety. i asked you summarize your testimony in five minutes. to help you stay withi

let's watch the media on this, deneen. > republicans have co-opted this idea that defund the police means wiping out police forces when what it really does is it enhances and empowers law enforcement. >> now, i want to say that any amount of harm is unacceptable and too much. but i also want to make sure that this hysteria, that this doesn't drive a hysteria and that we look at these numbers in context. >> what's your take on -- do you really think there is an uptick this crime the way that republicans are framing it? >> i don't necessarily think that there's an uptick in crime, and i can tell you that i know firsthand, you know, statistics can be manipulated. >> i think that there are a lot of police unions and gop operatives that would like for us to believe that this recent crime wave has everything to do with this idea of defunding the police. but guess what, stephanie in the police haven't been defunded. so this rising crime is not the fault of the movement, it's actually the fault of the police. elizabeth: okay, let's

they're engaged in the internet and social media to the degree they did. ou have this sort of merging. you also have what are sometimes called net newsers. today polls show that people now mix sources of their media, internet and traditional sources. in fact, more people get their news from social media today than newspapers. so we have to as we talk about technology changing, we also have to update our view of what a journalist is. this is not an easy task. i'm not pretending this doesn't have problems. you can't make everyone a journalist because if that's the case, then journalism means nothing. you have to have some way of distinguishing between what people do. what i've argued is it should be a focus on what their function is, their writing as opposed to how much they're getting paid for it. ted koppel tomorrow could resign from the network and be writing the same columns he did today. would that mean he is not a journalist? under this law, he would not be a journalist because he wouldn't be making any money at it. that's obviously something we don't w

and as a result of that, he just said what he thought about the media. and, and i think that hurting, and i think he would say the same thing today. if he could turn the clock back, i'm not sure he would do that again like that because it was, it just distracted his administration. and i think her hurt his chances for reelection on the issue of reelection since he raised it. do you think that will re run in 2024? no, i don't know he's, he's a very strong person and he's in very good health. and there's as long as he has good healthy s, i think you'll run. but again, that's, he'll be 78 years old or so $5.17. and he's not in good health. what regarding the bite presidency? is that so far what you expected it would be. so by ration it's hard for me to as to say. i know president by knew him as a, as a senator. i have not been with him and also the vice president. i have not seen him since he's been president. i pray for him. i pray that god will give him strength and wisdom. he is, he's not in the best of health, but i believe that god can give him strength

first off i think the media is going bad and really. ready losing their numbers is because they're so dishonest and people are catching our independent media like ours it is or gaining and gaining, gaining, gaining ground. however, i just, it's really true that certain times i thought ok this popular movement job. it's something cool you know and saying it's something that it's not the normal establishment politics, but the more and more goes on. it's like, i say the more and more it feels like professional wrestling. so i'm getting very, very nervous with what's going on over here, to be honest with you, because there's a lot of things about trump i dislike. i don't use the way forward as far as i'm concerned, and i don't know what lives on the horizon. so despite everything that we see what's going on in front of us, it's still just, it's so uncertain what's happening because everything seems like such a charade. and the media just seems to be so far off ever than they've ever been before. so who knows what we're going to see down the

that's how the media is able to survive. e the people have suddenly become the subject matter. the moment you are in an article and they are talking about you, you go, my god, this is a scam and a sham and they only want to hurt you. >> emily: totally. jessica, the argument sort of flies out the window when you see also loss of the amount of coverage and what it went down to. for example, when it goes down into the mundane. remember when we killed qassem soleimani and it was reported that president trump was enjoying his ice cream when he learned about the air strike? they found a way to cover everything and insert a negative slant. >> jessica: i've seen the studies, obviously, from the trump administration. i would never deny that the press corps is having an easier time with the by demonstration. heart of that is joe biden doesn't hit the press, and president trump hated the press and campaign on it. >> jesse: why would you hit the press if you are a democrat? >> jessica: i think you can have a healthy relationship with the

according to the white house and if the media and democrats had not made covid so political may be morerd with some of the measures and everything else but because they made it all about politics and use it as a political weapon in an election year now they are looking pretty bad when it comes to the extent that they pulled on this private jet where they didn't wear masks and went to meet with some of the most important and powerful people in the country. >> jesse: i feel like there's a lot of unanswered questions about this. that makes me sound really smart. >> greg: that should be a show for you. >> jesse: we never get to the bottom of anything. >> jesse: if everybody is vaccinated, allegedly, how do they get six covid-positive tests, what are the chances of that happening? >> dagen: we have all sucked face with an inappropriate person. i think somebody is not telling the truth. i mentioned it earlier in the week that the breaker cases seem to be very high if all of these individuals are vaccinated but to katie's point, the white house only cares about things it can benefit from polit

you want to ask me about the media? >> greg: yeah, what about the media, dagen?er] >> dagen: i fully expect the screeching, shrieking, preening peacocks and peahens in the media to totally go silent when their fellow asshats, and the democratic party, made butts out of themselves by not following the norms and rules date restlessly preach. they are busy looking for their next -- >> greg: we have that conversation every day. meanwhile -- >> richard: not voter fraud, voting rights. >> greg: it's very simple, voter i.d. paid leave and told -- >> richard: i'm not against voter i.d.! >> greg: but you're bringing this up. let's get to the heart of it. you guys are saying that voter i.d. is the worst thing since the civil war. your team that you are defending. >> richard: i'm just saying it should be a college i.d., utility bill, anything that identifies who you are and where you live. >> ainsley: then democrats need to say yes, everybody needs to have a voter i.d., and republicans can say, so what? will let you vote in the middle of the night. >> richard: i want a vote

i mean, the media is subject for example to defamation. ect to being prosecuted for crimeski committed directly by reporters. but what we're talking about is a constitutionally founded privilege,s up and the critical case of bransberg, the court heavily fractured over a privilege. there weree some like douglas hoobld we should a absolute privilege a number of felt ase qualified privrmg. most of the qualified privilege statutes are based on the language out of that case. qualified privilege just simply gives some added scrutiny and protection to thehe media. it can be overcome in extreme cases. there to protect in core function of the media. if you look at the states, there is 40 states with the privileges, they haven't shut down aprosecution. it hasn'the been over welcomely burdensome. the judges have been able to use them. i think the same would happen to the federal systemm as well. >> the 40 seconds i've got left can you characterize what is the privilege -- what are they privileged to do? and how -- what are the qualifications upon that
