and what the important role of the press is. most of you know allen miller, he used at the la times he runs a program in news literacy now and that is fundamentally important. >> go ahead. >> thank you, frank and everybody for a wonderful panel session. i'm reflecting on comparison between yesterday morning's panel on presidential memory and history and what both richard and frank talked about today, and that is how the perception of a president changes over the decades after they leave office. and the -- my question is, if that's true, that means that the perception of the president that's presented by the media currently is not accurate, and whether that's fake news or it's not fake news, i wonder if -- since i don't hear it very often, if there's any reflection that you hear among journalists and people who study this issue as to whether there could be a better job done by journalists instead of just always apologizing for how good journalism is and how the president is the one, like you were saying, that's always just angry o

the other. you have to have a free press. free opinion, but also people who actually give us some facts, facts are stubborn things. as adam said. you have to have engage citizens who are willing to create that part of the democratic conversation, lowercase d, where all too often , you know as well as i do if not better, politicians are mirrors of who we are as opposed to molders. if we want the city to change, we have to change. >> our citizens engaged now? the polls show a big chunk of the american public today does not trust the press. just thinks the press makes it up.>> i think we are ahead of dyck cheney but that's about it. the press, and the polls. >> [ laughter ] >> we may not be. >> it is winning now? >> [ laughter ] >> now we are in trouble. congress is worse ... i think people also, i distrust those polls a little bit. i don't know what the press means. anymore. if i don't i suspect many people don't. because my mississippi in-laws sure believe what is on fox. particularly when they attack me, they love that. and th

the white house. and, i was fourth press secretary. and, the big change it seems to me is, in those days, you had morning newspapers, with a deadline of 6:30 in the evening. you had on television, no cable television, and he didn't have any internet. and, you had, morning newspapers, hunter brinkley and cronkite on at 6:30 at night. so, when i was at nbc, if i covered a story at 10:00 in the morning, 11:00 or whatever, press secretaries briefing in the morning, i had until mid or late afternoon, to do research, to contact other sources, and so forth. and now, two things as a result of cable tv, and also, as a result of cell phones, basically, everybody is a journalist. you know, i have my cell phone right here. i can take any -- type anything i want to and hit the send button and it goes up to 10 million people in the world. >> you have a very good following. >> congratulations. >> i think that is really a big change. >> absolutely. i say to people, i was with cnn, cnn revolutionized things. we knew that in the white house . for the fir

you have -- as judy said, you have the opinion driven, partisan driven press. that begins to end in the 20th century, a couple reasons. one was progressive era, the rise of political science, the rise of the idea that data could drive decisions was infecting journalism to some extent. when adolph ox box the "new york times" in 1946, there was like 47 daily newspapers in new york. he took the position we should do this without fear or favor because that was the only open marketing place. if you were a pro-life mug wamp you had your own newspaper in manhattan. he needed something to say. and then the titanic went down. and he said he understood big stories. he wanted a "newsroom" that could cover a story of than scope. so the times wins out. and then, of course, 1921 radio comes along, television in the late '40s. there's something called the fairness doctrine, which was not repealed until '86 or '87 i think because we all own the publicairwaves. so the idea was you could not express an opinion unless you gave equal time to both sides. so most people stayed out of

bush last night talked about the press. i'm quote egg, he said you want the press to be active with powerful people because you want the press to hold people powerful people account and keep people honest as long as they're honest. it's just so interesting that this president seems to be incapable of having the same -- i don't know if it's respect that needs to be had, but understanding of what the job of the press is. >> well, you know, look, the press is a critical part of a free society. and of course, people in politics, a lot of times they don't like what the press has to say, because they can make it difficult. that's their job. and you need to respect that. but what i'm really concerned about is -- i'm really concerned about whether the president, and i'm starting to think it's not possible for him, unless there's a damascus road experience, is unable to bring people together. that he does play to this base. that he uses this language. and i guess what we're seeing now is the unwillingness to take any personal respons

of course the press can publish the information. i don't think there is a serious policy debate over whether or not the information can be published. we see that -- i think for the most part. maybe specific instances where the government can make an argument. as a matter of most people -- understand the press has a right to publish information. the punishment the investigation and the responsibility under the justice system falls on the individuals in the position of trust. there is a big distinction between the individual who works for the government who has -- access to the classified information. reveals it publicly. the person -- very differently then how we would evaluate the --. >>> the question is why. why should we deny whistleblowers protections we get to the press in those instances in which disclosure is in the public interest? obviously there will be a question of whether it is in the public interest or not. it can't be there whistleblowers. it has to be someone independent of the whistleblower. it doesn't seem obvious t

but the point here is really about the freedom of the press, about the role of the press and about themerican civil liberties and rights that we have for journalists to carry out their task. our president, our country has to stand firmly in support of journalists wherever they may be, whatever country they may be in. otherwise the truth will be hidden from the people. that's what the first amendment is all about, and this president has declared war on the press, calling the press the enemy of the people. and in his rallies, encouraging his supporters to take on the press, to condemn the press, and to otherwise harass the press that are trying to cover the president. this is terrible. repercussions will come on. you had a moment ago about duerte in the philippines. we can't allow that to happen. america has to stand firmly in support of the press, in support of the freedom of information. our president is going the opposite direction, and the repercussions are inevitably going to be journalismists dyin more than they have in the past. >> congressman, thank you for being with us. >> good

i don't think anyone is getting band from the press corps anytime soon. >> i think when he says the press is the enemy of the people and delegitimizes what truth is, calling fake news is problematic. his sparring with the press, i don't have a problem with that. gentlemen, thank you so much. great to see you. coming up, the partisan bickering in washington has created a great ideological chasm in america. where's gary?

joe scarborough said the press was unfair to the president. i think the challenge grows greater for the media to figure out where it's going and how it's going to try to find balance. >> you hear something that sara f fagan said. 20 years ago these allegations wouldn't have been published. >> 20 years ago, no major news publication would have published those second allegations. the second allegation or third allegation. we are in a different place in this country. >> frank, is that true ? >> absolutely. i was bureau chief during the lewinsky thing. we had a series of procedures to make sure that hearsay didn't get on the air and we were going to confirm it before we put it on the air. that's completely been overtaken by events with social media. >> what does confirming mean? if it's an on the record accusation but without corroborating effort. >> multiple sources. somebody doesn't just -- if they step forward -- ford had some corroborating evidence. she had her therapy. she had documentable places where she raised this. how she remembered it,

we did ask those questions at the press conference. of course, the fbi said they don't want to release information that can hurt the investigation. because what happens is there's a lot of clues in those devices. they're in tact, so they can do a lot of forensic work and they can pull some of the wiring and some of the casing and figure out where some of these items were purchased. the other thing they don't know whether or not these devices could actually explode. and they want the forensic work and the lab work that will be going on in the next few days over at quantico at the fbi headquarters to figure out could this have really exploded? what were we dealing with before they tell us publicly what these devices were, how could they have exploded if at all? >> shimon, thank you very much. much more now on the mystery of how some of these packages got around the country without postmarks. so it is strange, renee. explain some of them do not have postmarks. >> reporter: so what we know is that several of those suspicious packages were m

it's the press. and why is that? e framers thought if democracy was under threat, if the house and the white house and it was led by an autocrat, there would be one institution that could stand up to that authoritarian person in government and that was the press. the fourth estate. that's why it was protected. a democracy can never be ignorant and free. this attack on the press by trump, the sinisterness of it is the fact he wants to have the one branch of our civil society that could speak truth to power, not have power to speak truth to him. >> michael? >> how do you, though, i think you hit it so well, but here's the question for the press and everyone else is, so what? how do you change -- >> what do we do? >> what do you do? the president gets up and says the press is this, that or the other thing. he puts his arm and embraced the autocratic lifestyle, if you will. he longs for, you know, the power to be president. and admires the way others exercise it. >> and it empowers those bad guys. >> he looks and goes, ah

i don't think anyone is getting band from the press corps anytime soon. >> i think when he says the presss the enemy of the people and delegitimizes what truth is, calling fake news is problematic. his sparring with the press, i don't have a problem with that. gentlemen, thank you so much. great to see you. coming up, the partisan bickering in washington has created a great ideological chasm in america. geico has over 75 years of great savings and service. with such a long history, it's easy to trust geico! thank you todd. it's not just easy. it's-being-a-master-of-hypnotism easy. hey, i got your text- sleep! doug, when i snap my fingers you're going to clean my gutters. ooh i should clean your gutters! great idea. it's not just easy. it's geico easy. todd, you will go make me a frittata. and an ice plant.rs with 70-megawatts, 35 mules, but we brought power to the people- redefining what that meant from one era to the next. over 90 years later we continue to build as one of the nation's largest investors in infrastructure. we don't just help power the american dream. we're part of it. thi

they see the press and the mainstream press is doing a good job in their view of holding government of the rush accountable mission, they identify with journalism and they are inspired to go into journalism school as a result of that. what will the consequence be, i hope it's not more unemployment and i don't think it will be. think garfield is being reinvented quite rapidly and people are being trained and so i think there will be opportunities for them and they are the kind of people we would like to have in our profession . >> some of us still read the print edition for the washington post . >> we love you for it . >> thank you . >> the panel has talked a lot about and it seems that a lot of people agree that the press has become so corporatized, that real stories about the concern and real people are not getting out or being diminished. what can you do to enhance. we've got to the point where jimmy carter calls is not a democracy but a over arche. that's big stuff. the press is responsible for that, for not telling the whole truth about a lot of things to the american people that b

again, getting back to the press and the programming. we had an urban forest symposium with a tree planting and press conference. i don't know what newspaper that person works for, the big, tall tree person. biodiversity. food, forest, forna. people didn't want to leave with all the of our partners. it was supposed to end at 5:00. peteing couldn't get them out until 6:00. they were starving but they still wanted to stay and chat. fairness. we had a huge event between u.s.f., m.l.k. foundation around ethics and climate justice. we were able to get dr. bob bollard to speak, which is a lot of us -- our personal hero, right. these are a lot of wonky stuff. i want to quote leonard bernstein. the thinkers that will save us that articulate, educate, defy, sing and shout the big dreams. the artists of the world can turn the not net into reality. and so, i was so excited. i mean like 500 500 events. that is how you grab people. we can be charlie brown's teacher all daylong but you grab people through the arts. and so, even our san francisco sympho

the pro brax the press in the u.k. does not limit its antagonism to the e.u. two years ago when a british court ruled that parliament had the constitutional right to have the last say on bricks in the daily mail declared the judges involved enemies of the people and reported that one of them was openly gay the daily mail is one of the country's biggest selling newspapers it's a good deal more popular than it is trustworthy which is not as contradictory as it may appear popularity and trust is not the same thing and this is really clear when you look at the trust scores of individual tabloids around a lot of people really like the daily mail or really like the sun for lots of reasons they find it funny they find it something that sort of you know gets their blood pressure up but it's not necessarily something they consider particularly trustworthy source information trust in all news organizations is dropping its dropping most for the tabloid press that straight people no longer know who to trust and it's largely to do with media really and political elites and

is there a larger connection to the press here? i don't think so. >> is he offended, and is he moving on khashoggi because of the brutality of the alleged murder, or does he think that mbs is just getting too much bad press? >> i'm not sure. i just think that the white house found itself finally in a place yesterday where there was an overwhelming about of media attention, overwhelming about of intelligence that was pointing in one direction, and they realized they had to start to head in that way or it would continue to be a bigger problem for them. >> to drop the rogue killers. thank you for spending some time with us. >>> after the break from body slams to f-bombs, brand new reporting about the fireworks inside the white house yesterday. >>> and being beto, how the texas senate candidate is making democrats feel great again. >>> and donald trump's former chairman paul manafort now a cooperating witness in the mueller probe, all those stories still coming up. a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the

i see a lot of speculation and hearsay and gossip in the press. i caution people to let the investigation unfold. and when the results come out, we'll know the truth. bret: you understand the scepticism, that this was a fight that developed in the consulate, and a 0-year-old columnist -- a 60-year-old columnist writer is going to resist a 15-member security team and one of the members of the team was an autopsy specialist. how do you explain that. >> i don't believe all 15 members were in the consulate when this happened. we are looking at every individual member of the team. we are trying to figure out how they were aaccep a -- how they e assembled and dispatched and what happened consequent to that. the initial results are not conclusive. the investigation is in its early phases. we'll pursue this to the end to uncover the truth to make sure everybody knows what happened and we hold them accountable. bret: i'm sure you heard lawmakers speaking out. here is what senator rand paul said on "fox news sunday." >> i feel certain the crown prince was in

we've heard a lot in the news lately about speech and security and the press, of course. not really just the past few months, but the past many years. i'm thinking in terms of prosecutions of the press, lots of leaks across several administrations, all those issues and kind of the associated cultural dynamics associated with them. so that's kind of what today is about. there is some perspectives we're going to hear tonight that will help us kind of think about those. it isn't necessarily the typical panel that you might hear about for civil liberties or other think tanks. we brought together a couple voices tonight to think about kind of the relation of free speech to a free society, how those, as i said, cultural and other dynamics shape how we think about the interception of press and free speech security. i'd like to acknowledge the jack mueller center who sponsors a lot of career events around the country, and also our friends at carnegie mellon university. i have students here from my class and they have to be here. some logistics just in case we have to exit the buil

and in soccer the head office of buy in munich comes out swinging at the press a fierce attack against the german media in an extraordinary press conference and we'll hear why by on are slamming journalists for the treatment of their players. well i'm terry martin good to have you with us the european union's top court has ordered poland to immediately suspend its forced retirement of judges calling it quote. a threat to judicial independence critics accuse the poland's virtues polled and current right wing government of replacing judges with those supportive of the current regime european court of justice has now told poland to stop the lowering of the retirement age of judges from seventy to sixty five the measure supposedly targets judges appointed under previous governments the move allegedly by lates poland's provisions under the treaty. for more now let's go to brussels were barbara standing by barbara why was the polish law enforcement targets of judges so controversial. the european union has been watching what this government in the martial of those the right wing government h
