[laughter] host: i want to share this tweet, "bring back the days of walter cronkite. people could trust the news back then. straightforward reporting, not bs." the end of the gatekeepers in some respects. guest: the walter cronkite era, i am old enough to remember all of that, but also understand there are pretty narrow places you got the news. when i was growing up in pittsburgh, the news was the pittsburgh press on the driveway, and what was on the 6:00 news. that was the news. my parents did not have access to the wall street journal, the new york times. i think we need to embrace the wonder of all the access to information we have. people need to consume more news than ever by multiples because they can, and there is a wonder and tremendous value to that. what we're trying to figure out is the border between now you can consume all this information, that is great, but also what happens when a bunch of it is garbage or fake or misguided or opinion parading as fact? let's figure that out. i remain really about the fact that we have access to lots of wonderful news c

we believed walter cronkite years ago. this is not walter cronkite. so we tend to believe them. and yet i go out and we have crowds like this. the crowds in pennsylvania and ohio and iowa. always a massive crowd. and even after the election. this is just a thank you from me to you and the folks. [ cheers and applause ] by to have crowds. we had a crowd last night. that the manager said was 30,000 people. and i read the palm beach post tomorrow, the one that just came out. and there was a line in the second paragraph -- now,s the it was one of the biggest crowds that i've seen. you couldn't even see the end of it. it was a field. actually a field. last night, orlando. it was incredible. and i read the palm beach post today. and i read the post today. "donald trump spoke before hundreds of people." right? very dishonest. but that's okay. hundreds of people is not 25 or 30 thousand people. do we agree with that? but they know what they are doing. they all know what they are doing but i guess it didn't work because we're here together, folks. right? the movement. but we've been hear

you and i were growing up, walter cronkite said something, john chancellor said something, that was about it, the major newspapers. now people are getting information from god knows where, including alex jones and people like that, and they're acting on it. >> yeah, i think the problem for mainstream media, journalists. cable tv, and everybody else, print, television, is they are having to make decisions in real time because we're in the midst of this revolution. it's not completed. every day, we're dealing with new news. when this started, no one was talking about fake news. it's a fairly recent emergence. today also i think president obama asked his intelligence agencies to report to him about what happened in terms of russia's interference potentially in the election. things happened here in the last six or seven months that are unprecedented. it puts everybody in a tough spot. it puts campaigns in a tough spot, guys like you and everybody in the media in a tough spot. >> you get purnged, too. people call in with something. a younger person, perhaps, somebody who isn't smart enough to

. >> you remember walter cronkite. on that show -- >> i'll have to ask you to cool it.ll come back to you. i want to stick with this idea with the role of journalism. >> the role has always been -- it is a special role in a vibrant democracy. we're supposed to serve as a kind of watchdog. on government, public policy, all of that. we are always delighted to quote our founding fathers. we say that they placed the concept of freedom of the press right up there in the first amendment of the bill of rights of the u.s. constitution. it was not an afterthought when they did that. it was fundamental. thomas jefferson said famously that he had newspapers without government or government without newspapers, he would take the newspapers. when i hear many colleagues -- maybe not the two of you, but many i know -- fear that a trump administration may in one way or another cut back on freedom of the press, they also feel that many americans are so distrustful of the media they would raise no meaningful objection that the government attempted to crack down. do you share these concern

when a candidate is able to talk to his twitter followers than when they had to talk through walter cronkite or pay money to get air time. i think that has a lot of troubles consequences which we have seen. while there's always the utopian view, powered people, everybody has an equal voice, equal megaphone. the utopic side enables the racist fringe to have a greater megaphone, as well as the fact that democracy needs mediators, that you need someone to aggregate interest, you need political parties to effectuate policy that 300 million people yelling is not a way to run a government. the way i think about the consequences of the, the unique consequences of the move toward internet democracy, it's about the effect of anonimity. one of the consequences, and one of the things that enables a lot of the hateful rhetoric online is the fact that unlike if you were to run a television ad to a mass audience, because the enimity twitter and other platforms allow you, you don't have to take responsibility for the speech. it facilitates the hateful language we've seen. sovereignty or territoryality when
