the same unnamed author of that september 2018 "new york times" opinion column titled i al part of the resistance inside the trump administration. the experts offer one person's view of what it's like to be in the administration. nbc news has not seen nor been able to confirm the contents of what's being reported tonight. the excerpts describe a ka baob the authors refers to. quote, president trump should not be shocked that wary aids and cabinet members saved his presidency. my colleagues have done so many times. he should be worried. we should all be worried that these reasonable professionals are vanishing. with every dismissal or departure of a level-headed senior leader, the risks to the country grow and the president is validated by a shrinking condrey of advisors that abet or encourage his bad behaviobehavi. we're already seeing the consequences. another section of the book goes into detail about how the president must be briefed quote it took a lot of trial error for west wing staff to realize there needed to be a change in the white house briefing process until that happened,

that was "the new york times" today. this was the headline in the "arkansas democrat gazette" today. again another big dramatic photo of fiona hill at her testimony. and there's the headline. "expert, ukraine meddling lie." and you see the subhead there, "narrative furthered by russia," she asserts. here's that "tampa bay times" from florida. "hill: discord serves putin." former security aid and expert fiona hill warns the gop of fictions and dramatic comments on thursday. up in the great state of maine this was the portland press herald today. "witness: fictions about ukraine help russia" testimony in the last scheduled public hearings reinforces the case that the president's efforts work today the detriment of u.s. security. and then you see the subhead there below the fiona hill photo. "ex-white house aide says moscow was behind the claim." this is front page of "the washington post." multiple stories on the impeachment inquiry overall and again another big main photo taking up most of the front page. four columns wide

he ultimately did not pursue these agreements because they were too complicated and he told the "new york timesthat he never received a penny. it is significant because we already know that the southern district of new york is already investigating giuliani over whether or not he may have violated foreign lobbying laws. this certainly raises more questions about rudy giuliani's involvement in all of these activities in ukraine. >> indeed. >>> rudy giuliani says he was joking when he said he had insurance if the president threw him under the bus over ukraine. now we may find out what he really meant because the president just tossed his personal attorney into the middle of pennsylvania with the bus heading straight for him. bill o'reilly asked the president about whether he directed giuliani's efforts to dig up dirt in ukraine. here's his answer. >> touyou have to ask that to r. i know he was going to go to ukraine and i think he cancelled a trip. rudy has other clients other than me. no, i didn't direct him. but he is a warrior. rudy is a warrior. rudy went, he possibly saw -- you have to under

some reports online maybe he wasn't the guy, what's your take. >> this is irresponsible by the "new york timessher of the "new york times" and his family, the paper of record. he has to verify if it's a senior administration official. snodgrass was a speech writer, you a navy captain who was a disgruntled speech writer for jim mattis. much, much his book has tremendous errors tonight. and i read it. this was published as a warning. this came out in an op-ed over a year ago. it dovetails with the impeachment. it's the same type of you be elected bureaucrats who oppose president trump's national security policies. the same times of people you saw the last two weeks under schiff's program that the american people tuned out on. and we know from independent, independent are turning against impeachment because of their testimony. the facts are coming out. this was actually more insidious. you have the op-ed, you have nikki haley's book, ambassador haley's charges have not been denied. i don't think we have been denied at all. trish: they said we need you to work with us. >> i think what's incompeten

just last month, the new york times breathlessly reported that there were new sexual misconduct allegations that have emerged about brett kavanaugh's time at yale. yet, in the times's initial reporting, and i am only picking on the new york times because lee represents the new york times, in the initial reporting, the paper completely omitted the fact that the women woman who was supposedly the victim doesn't even remember the incident and that she declined to be interviewed on this reporting for this topic. that was a serious lapse of journalistic standards to omit these important facts that would have given readers a more fulsome perspective on the allegations themselves. and pre-sullivan rollback, i suspect they would not have been omitted. should the press be restrained? yikes. what a loaded question, it harkens back to images of reporters in handcuffs. let me be clear, i'm not in favor of imposing criminal liability for defamation. i'm going to write that down. >> (laughs) >> that's off the record. should the press be restrained also raises another important question, restrained by who

that op-ed published in "the new york times" last september, the author anonymous. before you got to the actual op-ed there was this paragraph of explanation from "the new york times" explaining why the paper was taking this, quote, rare step of publishing an anonymous op-ed. "the times" said it had done so, quote, at the request of the author, a senior official in the trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. but then below that explanatory intro from "the times" the mysterious author just jumped right in, and it was as dramatic as you'd think it might be. quote, president trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern american leader. many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. i would know, i am one of them. quote, we believe our first duty is to this country and the president continues to act in a manner detrimental to the health of our republic. that is why trump appointee

get some more information if this thing keeps going on as we saw from maggie's reporting in "the new york times the context here as nia perfectly pointed out. people knew about this in real time and vindman, fiona hill knew about, we're talking to the lawyers and john bolton told people to talk to the lawyers. we're finding out tonight and mark sandy, the top white house budget official, he was at the omb is the one who holds the aid and would release the aid. somebody asked him behind closed doors in the intelligence xhisht committee, quote, are you aware of anybody leaving omb in part by the security assistance, the answer, oh, yes, i am. i mean, so people were actually -- somebody at least -- at least one person resigned over this. >> it sounds like all of the alarm bells were going off and it wasn't people speaking to their other policy colleagues. they were speaking to the lawyers and they knew this was a serious legal problem and it's notable that the person who resigns in the omb is in the legal division and according to sandy is because they were concerned about the impoundment act whic

that's not a narrative you hear usually from the "new york times" or the "washington post" and otherst some may be fading because of impeachment and trade wars and other stuff. your analysis and the "new york times" said wait a second. >> one thing that is unique about donald trump, part of his appeal that enabled him to wins he is not much of a republican. he spent most of his life as a democrat and he was critical of republicans. there is a slice of the american electorate looking for someone who is not quite a republican but rejects the liberal policies of today's democrats. that's what you see in the analysis from the "new york times" and people in our book. >> the president has been blunt. saying you may not always like what i tweet or say, but look at the other side. that is helping him. pointing out elizabeth warren and some of the plans that are so expensive. take us inside the rust belt voters that you talked to. what did that say about all that? >> bonnie smith the first woman in our book in the first chapter. he owned a bakery in ohio. they are in northeast ohio. it hasn't

purdue pharma now sally's to tell says she has no idea that her institute was funded by purdue the new york times and the american enterprise institute have denied any wrongdoing but sallies to tell didn't just defend the profits of purdue in the new york times she also did it elsewhere she was quite a media star when it came to propane killer opining. oxycontin does not cause addiction it's abusers are already addicts. the real public health damage here comes from the peach campaign conducted by zealous prosecutors and public interest advocates to demonize the drug itself. this is tragic because oxycontin has been a godsend for millions of patients. only a minority of people who are prescribe opiates for pain become addicted to them and those who do become addicted and who die from painkillers over dues is done to obtain these medications from sources other than their own physicians but media spin was just one step for do also funded other organizations to push its agenda of more prescriptions for pain killers the american academy of pain medicine and the american pain society promoted this for

just last month the "new york times" breathlessly reported that there were new sexual misconduct allegationshat have emerged about brett kavanaugh's time at yale. yet in the misreporting, emily pickett on the nuke times because lee represents the "new york times," yet in the initial reporting on this topic of the paper record completely omitted the fact that the woman who was supposedly the victim of this misconduct doesn't even remember the incident, and that she declined to be interviewed on this recording, this topic. that was a serious lapse of journalistic standards to omit these important facts that would have given readers a more full some perspective on the allegations themselves. and under pre-sullivan world i suspect it would not have been omitted. so i want to finish today by coming back to the original question to the panel, should the press be restrained? yikes, what a loaded question. restrained harkins of these ridges of reporters in handcuffs. and let me be clear. i am not in favor of imposing criminal liability for defamation. you can quote me, that's not off the record.

the attorney he once said, quote, very much knows what's happening. i'm john berman, in for anderson. and on top of that, new reporting from the "washington post" in "the new york times" that says at the very same time rudy giuliani was conducting his shadow diplomacy campaign for the president, attempting to drum up dirt on the bidens in ukraine, he was also working to secure contracts with those same officials that would have paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars. it also appears no deal was ever finalized, but he was essentially trying to leverage his white house connections for money. something he's accused the bidens of doing, but without any evidence. these late est reports come two days after reports of federal subpoenas for rudy giuliani's associates seeking information regarding his consulting business. until lately, president trump has appeared to stand by his attorney. it appears he is now trying to put a bit of daylight between them. >> what was rudy giuliani doing in ukraine on your behalf? >> well, you have to ask that to rudy, but rudy -- i don't even know -- i know he was going to go to ukraine and i think he canceled a trip. but rudy has other cl

the resignation letter being sent to "the new york times" is another. n letter being sent to "the new york times" from a bloomberg staffer who she now currently works for the bloomberg campaign. >> i don't know who "the new york times" opinion letter. i don't know who "the new york times" obtained the letter from but i want to read for people who haven't read the full piece, this is the resignation letter written november 11th by the state operations director for the harris campaign. here's the key line out of it. this is my third presidential campaign, and i have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly. bakari? >> let me also say this. i think that there are lessons to be learned. i think that it's in poor taste for kelly who is now a bloomberg staffer. however "the new york times" got it, she's currently working for another presidential campaign to now be the vocal point of a hit piece on another candidate. but let me just push back on gil for one second so that we all understand and we're extremely clear. to be an african-american woman i

fred smith challenging sulzberger to a debate, i hereby challenge ag sulzberger publisher of "the new york timesness section editor to a public debate in washington, d.c., with me and the fedex corporate vice president of tax. we got in touch with "new york times" to fox business. fedex's colorful response does not challenge a single fact of our story. it is clearly a stunt a stunt and and effort to distract from our findings of our story. when you're paying nothing in federal taxes you should reinvest into the u.s. and provide american jobs as well. charles? charles: susan, before i come in my thoughts it could backfire. "new york times" looks like hypocrites, fedex and many other businesses have to be careful. for instance, when fed smith and others talk about holding back invests because of tariffs even after pocketing hundreds of billions of dollars from lower taxes, lower regulations not a good look. their invests create jobs no doubt about that. they're not altruistic, they benefit the business. if we use the same logic on other things, some should say we should write off college loans, be

we are not suing "the new york times," because "the new york times" is a publication, so therefore itgoverned by laws of libel and can publish anything it wants or doesn't want. but right now, google wants it both ways. they want to be protected from libel but be an open forum and have no possibility of liability. they cannot have it both ways. the issue is not a constitutional issue. the issue is a free speech issue having nothing to do with the government. we know that. but you cannot be the conduit of 90% of the world's information and then pick and choose what you will allow to be said. that is what the danger is, with regard to something as powerful as google. we are not suing "the new york times." host: so what, if anything, do you want from the federal government? guest: we have not asked the federal government for anything. we have asked the courts to adjudicate if this is a publication or an open forum? let's get this straight. if you claim to be an open forum and you are not, you are lying. now, at some point, unfortunately -- truly unfortunately, because i want as little go

he would like the new york times reporting sadly in the last 20 years has become scurrilous there are numerous examples of new york times stories that were puffed up beyond all measure i mean this is really just beyond silly will tell also claims that discussions on financial aid to ukraine were delayed because the top of ministration was distracted by attempts to buy greenland. what do you deduce from that that's our ally is fighting with the russians but all of these agencies that support this can't go to musing with the president to discuss it it turns out mr chairman that those principles as we call them were in different troops at different times i think this was also the time of the greenland question about the british in greenland which took up a lot of energy in the end and see. that's disturbing for a whole different reason this just tells you how far out of the loop taylor actually was we could afford to do multiple things at the same time and to suggest with a straight face that the truck white house could not have could not consider his in treaty because they were too

>> it's coming from "the new york times" and saw "the new york times" has been so reliable, how can we disagree with that? speak of "the new york times" will spin this any way i can to undercut what happened there which was at the fbi was actually spying on members of the trump campaign. that is why you have fisa warrants, carter page being looked at. george papadopoulos. i find it intriguing that there out there spinning it and then it always gets back to who is leaking this stuff? i find that interesting as well. >> shannon: our understanding is people are called in if they been witnesses. their attorneys are called in and they're allowed to give reaction to the report we been hearing about that process. we were told they were supposed to sign nondisclosure agreements. we don't know if it's one of those. we don't know. it's coming december 9th and then we'll know for sure what is true what's not. in the meantime, he reported there has been a breaking development in the house democrats efforts to force don mcgann from the white house counsel who come to the hill and testify. he hasn't

"the new york times, puts out a statement, puts it on twitter, puts it everywhere, he doesn't attack "the new york times" their report something wrong, hey, kettle, who is calling black here. doing the same thing as we are. what did you think of that? >> that is wonderful. we know fred smith is no shrinking violet when it comes to this sort of thing. it is great he is standing up for the private sector. here is one of the greatest entrepreneurs arguably in the history of the country. the number of employees employed by fedex worldwide is 425,000 people. i mean fred smith and fedex are supporting nearly half a million people, they have been doing it for years. so you got to ask yourself, which would you prefer? a world of private sector investment of the sort that fred smith represents or what "the times" seems to want, to transfer most of their corporate tax income to the federal government and let them make the choices. that seems to be the debate fred smith wants to have with the "new york times." meli

would be screaming bloody murder the new york times wants facebook to censor material that the new york times doesn't like so it's it's obvious obviously highly agree just biased there's always the argument that whistle blows need to be cat anonymous for their own safety fear of reprisal but what about the argument and how much reprisal is there really in terms of a threat but what about the argument that whistleblowers are often use now and a very convenient and often incentivized some people would say to come forward come forward with a story and they remain in the shadows and never really put themselves in any kind of risk and there's not even any reprisal if that they're not even telling the truth well i mean what's the blower is like no that's a that's a neutral concept i mean some whistleblowers put out accurate news and some are some put out inaccurate. and of course the most the world's most important whistleblower join the stock which is now languishing up there and a british resident has his health was deteriorating dramatically and the democrats couldn't care less th

so says the new york times. ery year they will be an annual review of how protesters are being treated in hong kong, by the united states. this story is quite interesting because we often see stories coming out of the us where it is all aboutjohn. trump has decided this, and he doesn't necessarily have, it feels, the full support of anyone behind him in the united states. this is quite a different story because this actually passed through both houses in the us, anti—trump, from some of the wording in here, it sounds like he was almost reticent to sign some of this, and one of the statements quoted in here is very interesting, from the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. america is proud to stand with hong kong on the side of freedom and justice. a very political statement, not actually coming from trump. it is an interesting aspect of the story. and it isa interesting aspect of the story. and it is a very strong political statement, coming from the us, when it is right in the middle of very important trade negot

the country the new york times leaks demonstrated to us that there was a huge purge of communist party officials who refused to carry out the campaign of mass attention with sufficient enthusiasm so there has been resistant and quite a bit of resistance to these leaks reflect the fact that there are people who view the policy is there with a degree of horror the chinese strategy of keeping a close look on what is happening there i think really indicates how much to consider this to be an atrocity officials who violate party discipline of who leaked any information are being severely punished no person no official no circumstance must be allowed to leak anything at all on the whole reeducation effort to camps or anything related to it i mean this is the government that spent a year in denying that these camps existed at all and then under international pressure changed its tune to suggest that they're only vocational training programs that everybody is perfectly happy to go off to but i think again one of the matter of fact of the publication of these documents is to show that even you
