to protect their people like the new york times, washington post. so and with that, so much speculation being dismissed now on newspapers such as such as the washington post and new york times remaining relevant, ben you see the thing is it journalism, investigative journalism? any kind of journalism reporting is always relevant. we need that in society and inform society is the only one that can thrive or have any chance and have it at obtaining or remaining in some kind of a system of either a republic or democracy. where, where people are free to, to know information, what's going on that isn't basic journalism or reporting. the problem is in new york times and washington pose had become propaganda outlets of either the democratic party or whatever mouth piece or narrative fits their board, their owners, what we don't realize and what's now thankfully good reported work at these mainstream alice in the united states are owned by 5 or 6 corporations, 5 or 6 of the exact same entities that meet together to decide whatever narrative they want to pus

and the washington post did not do veto journalism. if you put the washington post and real journalism in a room together, it would be like 2 alpha male cats just then as will analysis rides on like wiki league revelations, where wrong doing by the world's most powerful actors was laid bare for all to see the pandora papers reach us after going through the digestive tract of the corporate media. so don't expect a status quo to be challenged at all. if this were wiki leagues, they would have easily searchable online database. you could go and see all the documents, but you can't search the pandora papers at all. instead they just tell us trust trust the corporate media grounds is going to be find it, feel coincidence that this investigation is just looking for someone who can be tied to potent or other evil actors. a few sacrificial lambs are thrown in to make it look credible and rigorous, like the legendary buffoon who is the king of jordan. so it's that, that the revelations aren't real. it seems they are. but we're left to wonder wh

this is a "washington post" book.drew on many people from the news room, no doubt. >> i should point out that on projects like these it's not uncommon to see multiple reporters and multiple by lines. and when it came out it was, it was an arduous and extraordinary work. the other point about journalism that is a macro question coming from robert. he asks if the press failed in their role to inform the american public about the failures you're reporting now? >> i think the press can always do a better job. that said, i don't want to appear defensive, but i think many reporters have dope a good job and many were reported and made public about corruption in afghanistan, about the problems for the training of the afghan military and the police force. questioning if the withdrawal would go well and negotiations with the taliban and there was a lot of questioning skeptical coverage through the years. but maybe, you know, we didn't do enough of it. or maybe certain outlets could do more of it. there was no question in recent

a brand-new investigation by "the washington post" is revealing in chilling detail all the missed warning signs before the january 6th insurrection. here's just one part, and we have this on-screen. one of the most striking flares came when a tipster called on the afternoon of december 20th. trump supporters were discussing online how to sneak guns into washington to overrun police and arrest members of congress in january. the tipster offers specifics. those planning violence believe they had orders from the president and used code words such as pick axe and posted the times and locations around the country for caravans to meet the day before the joint session. on one point, a poster specifically mentioned senator mitt romney as a target. according to "the washington post," the fbi believes many of these threats were aspirational and couldn't be pursue the. the investigation also found some pentagon leaders feared trump would misuse the national guard to stay in power. there were also fears that far right extremists could bait soldiers into a boston massacre-type situation. it was those

joining me now is the author of "the early 202: a washington post newsletter." she's also one of the journalists who reported that big piece that weekend on what happened in the willard command center. good morning, good to see you, my friend. we knew there was something happening at the willard. it speaks to the degree and the sophistication and the involvement of the people who were working out of the willard hotel, which leads one to believe that everything that happened on january 6th was not as spontaneous as it may have seemed. >> yeah, thank you for having me this morning to discuss this reporting. we found out, you know, as soon as liz cheney, the vice-chairwoman of the january 6th select committee mentioned this war room during the contempt proceedings that we saw play out. we quickly went into all of our notes and checked back with our sources to figure out what exactly was going on in these days january 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th leading up to the january 6th insurrection to figure out what these people rudy giuliani, bernard carrick, boris epshteyn, stev
