twenty-one years old, coming to the new york times as a copy boy. what was wonderful about that time and it was probably the most important job of my life. the beginning of the job meant that in a 14 story new york times building, as a copy boy, i would not only walk around the city room, third floor delivering messages and essentially a servant boy. there were other theirs, too. i would also carry messages from certain editors on the third floor to the eighth floor which is the sunday magazine section and the template which is the editorial where the people wrote editorials. and to the 14 ford on the 14th for the ivory tower where the sulzberger family, the owners, head offices. you go to the 14th floor and you saw a statue of the sulzberger's really owe their position to adolph fox who died in 1935 and he bought the paper before the 1900s and made the new york times the great paper that it was and still is. all of this history that i'm getting up and walking down and the elevators -- in those days the elevator men were all african-americans, all wo

i saw "the new york times" people embedded. one time i was on a stage of the 92nd street y nine years ago. and among the people, arthur ox salsburger and i said as a grad idea of your institution, i am embarrassed you would have reporters in baghdad working for "the new york times" embedded with the military. you are making them mascots of the military. they are actually public officers. we cannot get out of iraq. and the well ns of mass destruction story should never have gone unchallenged but it did. when you ask me these questions, i would like to be responsive and my lack of capacity to do that will probably bring disappointment on me. but i don't recognize today the pride full feelings i had when i was younger. i have a memory of glory. it wasn't me. i wasn't a war correspondent but i remember neal shehan and malcom brown and harrison salsbury, a man i knew and admired who went in 1966 and didn't have credentials but wrote about american bombs in hospitals when the american government and state department was denying. gover

so why not leak to the "new york times" yourself? >> i worried it would be like feeding seagulls at the beach if it was i who gave it to the media, sow i asked my friend to make sure it gets out. judge jeanine: weren't you worried some reporter might out you. i have a hard time believing this was your virgin attempt at leaking. who even thinks like that, especially someone who is supposed to be the paradigm of virtue. and your hogwash about that shining city on a hill. you are the director of the f.b.i. acting like j. edgar hoover leaking negative information about the president. doesn't that send a message to the f.b.i. that it's okay to leak? you allow a "new york times" article saying members of the trump campaign had contact with senior russian officials when you knew it wasn't true. you could have put truth to that lie but you refused, allowing the country some to suffer a trauma hyped to watergate proportions. why not leak to the "times" this was false? or was your agenda to proliferate anti-trump hate. one thing never leaked w

and we are supposed to have the inside track to what's going on at the "new york times." a day that we're going to really layout in rich detail, we invest all this time and energy to it. and then at 6:00 the president fires his national security adviser. >> seth: you do have, of course, this incredible resource which is you have to apologize to this person. then the expert on the thing that just happened is what just right down the hall basically? >> yeah, one phone call away. so part of what we do on the show is we call my colleagues, wherever they are on earth. >> seth: and you record. you play the conversation? >> we play the conversation so that when they pick up the phone, and they're still screaming at somebody -- >> yeah. >> we play it. we do that and it's become such a recurring theme, and it's really popular that we have occasionally skirted the line between what a reporter would want to us play and what we would want to play. so now what we occasionally do is, we capture people bickering, we capture somebody in a sort of foul mood. we'll capture all these wonderf

charlie savage from "the new york times," is excellent. i also rely havely on the new york review of books, people like david cole, was at george town, now at aclu. as for wikileaks, i'm torn because i think julian assange is such a strange character and was obsessed, like put defeat of hillary clinton and a definite link between the russian hacking and then the laundering of the material to get it to julian assange in a way he can say i didn't get this from the russians. that's my own personal opinion. so i. a sympathetic when wikileaks was started, it was to challenge the government and i think assange has become an anarchist and his target is the united states he has no other target. so, are we -- we have exhausted the subject? thank you.

what does it matter that the "new york times" is removing this job? >> two things are going on here. this is, again, a tough call.

according to comey, the article was garbage. >> that reported by "the new york times" was not true.s that a fair statement? >> in the mena was not true. if the people talking about it, often don't understand what is going on, and those that understand, we are not talking about it. we do not call the press to say, hey, you got this thing wrong about the sensitive topic. we have to leave it there. >> tucker: unless we are leaking to the press ourselves, but that was not the only lie that's made it into the news cycle recently, cnn cited an unnamed source to claim that james comey would deny ever telling president trump that he was not under investigation. trump told him that three times. cnn said, that is untrue. less than a day later, the opening statement prove that to be laughably false. the group has been responsible more than anyone else for fueling the past have amounts of media hysteria, often lied. and that makes sense, they are not giving their names for a reason. maybe reporters ought to take that into account before acting as their stenographers as a usually do. third, we l

someone as high in stature as james comey decides to leak to "the new york times." >> kat: i think you have, if he was concerned, to have said something at the time rather than waiting until after he was fired. you do something after you get fired -- he said, who does he talk to? president trump being the president on the way he operates, whether it's good or bad, you have to admit it's different and normally there isn't direct contact between the fbi director and the president. he may have not known what to do. i don't think anyone would argue that the way he handled it was good, because of course are going to have the defense. >> eric: trump didn't accuse comey of doing anything but comey leaked the document. sometimes there is false stuff, reportedly don't get involved. >> mary anne: the biggest source of leaks today is the white house. >> eric: not necessarily the trump white house but holdovers from obama as well. >> mary anne: i would say the trump white house. >> eboni: you have to have corroborating evidence. coming up, kat on the streets. what do regular americans think about

guest: first, i don't think "the new york times" is always wrong. i think now we're dealing with perception and what is known as confirmation bias which is that you seek out information that you believe and that confirms your belief. and i think we are so polarized now that if i am more liberal, possibly i will go to "the new york times." if i am more conservative i will go to fox, and i think we just need to be more open to opinions that don't confirm our beliefs, that we need to listen to other people and not use the words always wrong or -- host: what do you think is the solution for the media given the animosity that some people have toward the media? and also the poll numbers that reflect that. what is it that the media can do? should the media be fighting back? should they enter the fray? guest: well, i think that what news organizations, responsible, credible news organizations need to do is continue doing their job as best as they can, as accurately as they can. i know that just sounds like a stomp speech, but i think that's important. but i

the "new york times" tried to follow up with the four sources that he used the unnamed ones and they t be found at this time to corroborate what they originally had said. that's pretty telling. >> so let's talk about the excitement that built up to it. i hate to use the word skycam to talk about the senate intelligence committee. but dc with all the bars open and a lot of people out watching this, high expectations, i believe after we saw that opening testimony, i didn't expect any bomb el from a few things yesterday and i think a lot of people were like, is this it? >> well, it was -- what i liked about it was the fact that it was two hours and 45 minutes, commercial-free, but more importantly pundant free >> that's exactly it >> i could see adults, senate intelligence committee i thought they conducted themselves very well and comey giving answers, where we're at with russia and the bottom line is i still don't know what the crime is or evidence of company he collusion between trump the trump campaign and russia. >> this didn't seem like one of those hearing, you'll see hearings whe

"the new york times" is backing up comey's description of this. >> yeah. in fact, it seems pretty clear cut, george, because the tweet that was referenced by comey actually came on may 12th, "the new york times" story that quoted the memos came on may 16th, so a full four days later despite the fact that the charge here made by the president's lawyer was that the story came a day before the tweet. it seems that it simply did not. it came well after. >> john, pretty clear here that the president's attorney is digging in and doing what a personal attorney would do. i wonder what the white house is going to do when these questions quite naturally the next time a presidential spokesman is in the briefing room, how they're going to handle it? >> my only real reference to something close to this was the days of the clinton impeachment scandal, and i remember well-being in that briefing room with mike mccurry, the press secretary and on questions related to the legal case would constantly refer it to the legal team and would not take the questions from the podium
