Time now for mediabuzz. Donald trump was all but written off a month ago, but the con coverage is changing in the latest president ial polls. I spoke to him earlier by phone from new york. Donald trump, welcome. Thank you, howie. Hillary clinton called half your supporters a basket of deplorables, racists, sexist, xenophobic. When mike pence was making the rounds of the media with wolf blitzer and others, he was asked to call david duke deplorable and when he criticized duke but didnt use the word deplorable, what do you make of that . Its the media, the media is trying to do what they can to stop whats happening. Mike was very rough on david duke, but he didnt want to fall into her word. He didnt want to use her word, and you understood that, because no matter what he said, he would have been criticized. And i was impressed with mike, and i have been very, very impressed with mike. He was very, very tough on david duke, i can tell you that. Colin powell in those hacked emails was very critical of you and Hillary Clinton, calling you a national disgrace, among other things. Your response to the former secretary of state . Well, ive not been a fan of his. I thought when he was talking about weapons of mass destruction, he really let us down a very horrible path that, obviously, the administration picked up and they went into a war that they shouldnt have gone into, but i was never a fan of his, and we can do a lot better, so, you know, i guess he knows my feelings about him, and, you know, might as well say whatever he wants to say, but hes known my feelings about him. Right. Youve been ripping certain News Organizations on twitter, calling cnn a disgrace and an arm of the Clinton Campaign, accusing the New York Times of dishonest hits and calling msnbcs morning team two clowns. How do you benefit from that . Well, i want to set the public straight, because im being hit. The New York Times did a story on women and donald trump and past relationships and all the women came out and said they think donald trump is terrific. It was a totally phoney story and the New York Times fully understands that, made it a frontpage story. That was one thing out of many. Hit after hit after hit, no matter how well you do, they refuse to do it, then you see some of their reporters, martin and some of the others, they have twitters that are just horrible what they say on twitter and they are supposed to be objective reporters. So i just like to set the record straight and whatever it is, it is, thats the way it goes. At the same time, youve now lifted the restrictions, youd yanked the credentials of a bunch of News Organizations, why did you change your mind on that . Just because they cant treat me any worse, i might as well let them be there. Lets turn to the debates. You said you would prefer no moderators, quote, the system is being rigged so it would be a very unfair debate. How is the debate system rigged . Well, it is a rigged system. The whole thing is, if you look at whats going on. Look, matt lauer did a fine job. Matt lauer was very tough on me and, i guess, he was tough on her. I thought, frankly, he was tougher on me. I won that evening, the forum, the nbc forum, and according to every poll and everybody just about, i won that evening with hillary. Lauer got hammered by the press. And they hammered lauer, but matt did a fine job. Matt was very tough on me. So what happens, its called gaming the system, like a great basketball coach, like bobby knight, who was one of the greats, he would hit the referee and keep hitting him and in the end was hoping for the favorable call. Well, they are hitting matt lauer and that sort of indicative, they are trying to game the system. They want, and i think its terrible, but they want the host to go after trump, and thats what they are doing by gaming the system. And you understand it as well as anybody. Lets not even have a host. Lets see, but i would say that would be great. But do you think that lester holt or martha radich or Anderson Cooper is going to be pressured into not being fair with you . Sure, i think thats whats happening right now by the way they are hitting matt lauer, because matt lauer they felt wasnt as tough on me, and he was just as tough, if not tougher, but by doing that they are gaming the system, thats what they are doing and why they are doing it, for the debates. I think that and i think you think that, too, howie. Youve made yourself clear. I think lauer did a good job. He was tough on me, i thought he did a very professional job. Lets move on, you said in many interviews, including with me, you opposed the iraq war before it began. I looked at the forums you cited and dont see any clear evidence of that. Of course, you had a lukewarm comment to howard stern. That was long before the war started with howard, thats the first time the word iraq was ever mentioned to me and that was a long time ago. Wait a minute, it was very lukewarm and then i spoke to neil caputo and that was very much on the other side, but i spoke to other people and if you look also, speak to sean hannity, whos a terrific guy, by the way, speak to him and he and i used to have arguments about the iraq war. Sean believed in the iraq war. We used to have arguments about it, big arguments, and that was before the war started. I was a private businessman, no responsibility to take a public position before the war and criticized the invasion after it began . I fought with sean hannity over it and the neil cavuto statement is pretty close to being like dont go in and dont make the mistake of going in. I said, i think, the economy has to come first. And also if you look shortly thereafter, one of the major people on television actually say, you know, whether trump was for it before the war, the fact is he was totally against it in the esquire interview, which took place pretty quickly after the war started. To me its not even the same thing. I was against it before the war started and i hear more about this. But sean hannity will tell you that. I used to argue with him all the time. All right. The medias credibility is now at an alltime low according to a new poll, 32 having confidence in the press and you said the other day on a radio show you take some of the credit for that. When you look at it, do you feel when it comes to credibility its you versus them . I think the media is disgraceful. I think they are unbelievably dishonest. Im not talking about you, im not talking about certain people, because ive got tremendous confidence and tremendous respect for certain reporters, set set cetera, but large portion of the media is disgustingly dishonest, i could name all of them that way, and probably some day i will, but they should be ashamed of themselves. And im very proud of the fact that at rallies, well have 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 or more, i will call the media out, and i think the word has gotten through, and i think the people, otherwise, look, im leading in so many polls, im leading in a lot of people that are starting to think im leading in almost all of the polls if you take a look at whats happened. How could that happen if people really believed the media, because all they want to do is write negatively about me. It is so biased. You talk about cnn, its called the clinton news network, cnn. It is so biased, its ridiculous. And they are very dishonest and very dishonest people. I call them out and im proud of it and now i see their poll numbers are at an all time low and frankly i think i have something to do with it, but im very proud of it. Let me finish on the question of the polls. By most accounts youre running a more disciplined campaign, giving scripted speeches, and thats a contrast to august when you were creating a lot of controversies, you say the press were making too much of those controversies, but sometimes youd make off the cuff remarks that would resinate for days. Do you think you adjusted and the previous style was a mistake when you were down in the polls now that youre coming back about even . I think i have somewhat adjusted. I thought i did very well before. When they said he did a bad three weeks, tell me what i did wrong, people couldnt even say. Theyd take something i said and take it out of context, shorten the sentence or do something else, chop it up into pieces and wouldnt sound like what i said. Do you express regret . You express regret for some of your personal attacks, that perhaps led you to change your style or not . I think maybe so, because the media was not treating statements fairly. They would chop them up and shorten the statement, didnt sound proper or didnt sound as good when they did that. It was very unfair. Now im doing it a little bit differently. Weve had a great month. I see were up in florida, up in ohio, were up in iowa, were up all over the place. And were up in the national polls, too. The Los Angeles Times just came out, were five orn the Los Angeles Times, thats a national poll, and and its a onepoint race according to a fox news poll. Its a onepoint race according to the latest fox news poll. Clearly, the race is tightening. I wanted a sense of how you have adjusted. Donald trump, thanks very much for calling into the show. Thanks very much, thank you. Interview took place before the press conference about birtherism. Let us know what you think, when we come back, did trump stage the media to talk about birtherism . And later, why cbs went way over the line in editing bill clinton. Remember here at ally, nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. Whos with me . Im in. Im in. Im in. Im in.

Eight were injured after a man in a security uniform wielded a knife in st. Cloud. An off Duty Police Officer killed the suspect. Right now we have no evidence the suspect was in contact with isis before the attack. Officials are expected to hold a News Conference in minnesota in the next hour. Well bring that to you right here on fox news. I was at Donald Trumps hotel on pennsylvania avenue on friday, along with the rest of the press pack after he signalled he would finally talk about his stance on birtherism. Cable News Networks took most of the event live as trump touted the hotel and decorated veterans touted trump before he got to the main event. I think it may be one of the great Hotels Anywhere in the world. Thats the way it turned out. Hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I finished it. You know what i mean. President barack obama was born in the united states, period. And he walked off without taking questions. Joining me now, kelly riddell. And joe trippy, the democratic strategist and fox news contributor. Erin, journalists were really angry, some of them were standing on chairs and shouting questions at trump as he walked away. Did trump do a bait and switch to draw that almost nonstop cable coverage for what we thought were major remarks on the birther issue . He shouldnt have said he was going to take questions and then not take questions. Im not sure he was saying that. Cnn looked especially whiney because all their anchors were saying we were duped. For at least a year the networks have been taking trumps events live. They could have decided to go into the event when donald trump started speaking about the birther comments. They didnt have to take the whole event live. The other thing i would point out, donald trump has been smeared through the press for being the king of tax breaks for all kind of other problems hes had with his hotel chains. Here he had an opportunity with two months left to go before election day to remind everything of the success hes had. Why people like him in the first place. I thought it was a smart Public Relations move on his point. Nobody forced the Cable Networks to stay with that event until he got to the main topic, but was donald trump, in effect, forced, pressured to do this by the media because his top surrogates, Rudy Giuliani and Kellyanne Conway went on and said we believe obama was born in the united states, then people asked why isnt he saying . He tweeted earlier dont believe anyone you hear other than me, im the official word on everything, so, yes, i think he had to come out and put this issue to rest, because it was percolating in the press and now he can say i believe obama is a u. S. Citizen and thats important in his rehabilitation effort. I would say what i found very appalling about the Media Coverage at this was the debate of donald trump is he corrected one falsehood, but then gave two others. Now, there is indisputable, Fact Checkers have said Hillary Clinton didnt start the 2007 birther rumor, but she, in fact, did. Started with a mark penn memo in 2007. She didnt personally. Her campaign did. He said she and her campaign. Then her Campaign Manager went on cnn on friday, yeah, we had a staffer who sent a birther email out and we fired them. That came from the campaign. Let me get you in on this, the staffer was a volunteer that was fired, internal memo, didnt talk about obamas citizenship, but talked about painting him as an other and a reporter now says blumenthal actually told this reporter that obama might have been born elsewhere, blumenth blumenthalen denies that. Is the press Holding Trump accountable for making this charge against Hillary Clinton himself in the same two sentences where hes saying i accept obama is american . Yeah, they are. Lets go back to the original thing, president ial candidate manipulating the media to get coverage, im shocked about that. So i agree about, you know, that theyve got duped into it, but then they went with it and stayed with it. On this issue, though, look, there were volunteers in the Clinton Campaign spread something or somebody not running for president. This is a guy who ran for president , is running for president , and the reason he got the nomination, big piece of it, was him playing to the Birther Movement and the coverage he got about that. So to show up five years later and just sort of, like, hey, i finished it, its over well get into this more later in the program, but there also seems to be a theme in the media that he didnt apologize, he needed to apologize because he did push this beginning five years ago. Fair or unfair . Has he ever apologized for anything . Of course he wasnt going to apologize. Thats not his style. Stop complaining about it. What did you think in my interview with him as he talked about the disgustingly Dishonest Media that he is saying in advance, the debate mod rate tors will all be unfair, preemptive strike . I think that started earlier with the matt lauer interview when Hillary Clinton started fundraising off of the fact that matt lauer was so unfair to her in that, and all of her surrogates went on tv and said matt lauer did not hit donald trump like he needed to, didnt fact check on the spot, and that was cig falling to lester holt, to chris wallace, to the moderators, you better, you better go after donald trump and you better, perhaps, lay off Hillary Clinton or were going to question your credibility. That assumes these are not journalists that can withstand pressure and i will withhold judgment until we see these debates. Let me know what you think on twitter. Ahead from Hillary Clintons bout to pneumonia to Donald Trumps visit to dr. Oz, is the press covering the health issue fairly . Plus, did the Network Change bill clintons meaning . Scalpel. I have no idea what im doing. Im just a tv doctor. I never went to college. scream i dont do blood. But now, thanks to cigna, i can do more than just look the part. Is that a foot .

In the fallout over Hillary Clintons health, charlie rose was interviewing bill clinton. This is how the interview looked on the cbs evening news. Because when you look at that collapse, that video that was taken, you wonder if its not more serious. No, no than dehydration. Well, if it is, its a mystery to me and all of her doctors. Rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years, the same sort of things happened to her where shes just got severely dehydrated. But that involved some self editing and when the interview aired on cbs this morning we heard what the former president actually said. Because frequently, not frequently, rarely, but on more than one occasion over the last many, many years, the same sort of things happened to her where she just got severely dehydrated. So cbss nightly newscast deleted the part where the former president said happened frequently and changed to rarely. Come on, it saved a grand total of two seconds and changed the meaning of bill clintons comment in a way more favorable to Hillary Clinton. Steve scully, the veteran cspan anchor, has always been highly dependable. From chicago, independent line, good morning. Scully is taking on a new role thats never existed before, hell be the backup president ial moderator in case one of the others cant make it on to the stage at the last minute. Scully is doing all the preparation, writing questions, and will be at long island, st. Louis, las vegas, though he knows the odds are overwhelming that he wont be called off the bench. Ahead, the hacking of Colin Powells emails have folks forgetting this is email. James rosen is on deck. And later, the story about melania trump, news photos, and gaming the immigration system turns out to be wrong. Heard anything about it . That injured 29 people but fortunately no one was killed. Investigators are looking into who might have left the bomb and a second device that was found and removed four blocks away. More questions than answers at the moment about what new York Governor Andrew Cuomo described as an act of terrorism, but saying no evidence necessarily of international terrorism. Mayor bill de blasio is holding a News Conference at the top of the hour and fox news will bring it to you live. We were on the air last sunday afternoon after hours of speculation about why Hillary Clinton left a 9 11 ceremony earlier, when the news broke. This is a fox news alert, Hillary Clinton has been diagnosed with pneumonia, that according to a statement from her longtime physician. That statement from the clinton camp came after a bystanders video showing how the democratic nominee almost collapsed as she was being helped into a waiting car. A reporter asked clinton about how that was mishandled and about her defensiveness with the press. Can you be a little bit more specific about what youre referring to and did voters get a sense of some of that in the way your campaign handled the events of your illness over the weekend . You know, my Campaign Said they could have been faster, and i agree with that, but i have to say, from my perspective, i thought i was going to be fine, and i thought that there wasnt really any reason to make a big fuss about it. Both candidates putting out brief letters from their physicians, trump released his with dr. Oz. How do you stay healthy on a campaign trail . Well, its a lot of work, you know, when im speaking in front of 15,000 and 20,000 people and up there using a lot of motion, i guess in its own way its Pretty Healthy act. True if youre an anchor, too. Kelly riddell, is the media overplaying the Hillary Clinton pneumonia story, or did Clintons Campaign kind of turn this into a crisis through how they dealt with the media . They turned it into a crisis with how they dealt with the media, for sure. If she had pneumonia diagnosed on friday, as soon as she had to leave that ceremony early and dodge her press pool, they should have been notified, Hillary Clinton has pneumonia and is not feeling well, shes got to step out. Everyone would have understood, the story would have been over, but no, she had to wait eight hours later in order to make that announcement and that just raises suspicions. Some clinton defenders are saying this is sexist, a woman being portrayed as frail, cant a girl have a sick day, she asks, as if the only question was about her getting sick as opposed to not releasing the information about the earlier diagnose of pneumonia. Thats all true, all of it. I agree with kelly. The thing here is, look, from being in a president ial campaign, ive never been in one where pneumonia or Something Like it didnt sweep through the plane. Candidates get sick, staffers get sick. No one, not one of them, would have been announced it before the candidate went down. I mean, that would not have happened. The whole thing within the campaign is keep pushing forward, but once she had to leave that event early, that campaign, if it wanted to avoid any of this, had to immediately go out and say she had been diagnosed with pneumonia. Rare moment of convergence, agreement between these two. Erin mcpike, what about the contrast with donald trump who did his thing with a rather friendly dr. Oz, do you think that generated more positive or negative coverage for him doing it in that forum . Although the press ridiculed it, consider the alternative, in may of 2008 when john mccain was 71 years old, he allowed a select small group of reporters into a cold, darkroom for three hours to view thousands of pages of medical records and what he got was a couple of stories, lengthy stories, about some of the Health Issues hes had, but hes healthy, boring. Donald trump taking a page from barack obama, whos gone on Late Night Television to slow jam the news on policy, realizes he could get positive press with supporters for this. I think for him it was a good move. Interesting, kelly, i think the press corps was pretty tough on Hillary Clinton over this whole pneumonia incident, in part because i think the press felt misled and as you said, the press pool was there. In the New York Times, privacy backfired, her tendency to hunker down threatens to make her look again as if she had something to hide. When it comes to the comment she later regretted saying half of trumps supporters are deplorables, et cetera, the times puts together two paragraphs at the end of a story. What about that contrast . I mean, its just bias. Donald trump is right when he says theres a certain level of bias. She and her deplorables statement didnt get nearly as much coverage as romneys 47 coverage did. That lasted weeks on end. Weve all heard the end of the deplorables comment. You heard in an interview with mike pence and donald trump earlier today was criticized for not using the word deplorable against david duke and the campaign has repeatedly denounced david duke and david duke is a racist, hes not deplorab deplorable. He could be both. He could be both. Let me get joe in, because some in the media reacted and i want to play a little sound here, by kind of defending the point Hillary Clinton was making about Trump Supporters. Lets roll that. Did she actually need to apologize for that . When you think about many of the architects behind the Trump Campaign who come from the altright universe, one could say her deplorable. As a matter of statistics, its probably true people expressing racist sentiment constitute more than half of Trump Supporters. So were hearing a lot of, yeah, Hillary Clinton was right, by people in the press who think half or more of donald Trump Supporters are terrible people. I dont think who knows how many are. Thats what got her in the whole trouble in the first place. Youve been in campaigns, is it smart to attack the opponents voters when those voters may be tens of millions of americans . Its not, but one of the things that slammed the door on that was trumps birther comments. He had her sort of trying to explain away the deplorable thing, which put the question of race and bigotry and stuff out there, and then he comes in and by trying to slam the door on birthers, sort of reignited a bit. That was interesting. The coverage, i think, he turned the coverage was going against her and turned it on himself. Heres the thing, when i interviewed donald trump, hes on the threeweek stretch of being more scripted and restrained, then we had the birther event and also donald trump saying this about Hillary Clinton and her body guards. I think that her body guards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. I think they should disarm. Immediately. What do you think, yes . Yes. Yeah. Take their guns away. She doesnt want guns. Take them. Lets see what happens to her. So, gun rights activists also make the point that people who are opposed to gun rights, they have security, its kind of a talking point. The press is playing this as an outrageous statement. Certainly unusual for a president ial candidate to say about his opponent. Its important for the press to cover it because everything a president ial candidate says is important and speaks to their temperament. The Washington Post, erin blake the reporter, actually unpacked the comment he made and said hes made the comment many times before and is just giving his sentiment on the second amendment. New york times says trump raised the spectrum of violence against Hillary Clinton. I think this one is really dangerous territory for him and the press to go down, not because of what he said, but because of somebody out there who might hear it and act on it and president ial candidates and the press, i think, having been in all these campaigns where these threats are real, you have to be careful about it. I just think that we should be debating the gun policy. Second amendment policy between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Theres a distinct difference. Lets focus on the policy. This is a good way to bring that issue forward and were not talking about it. Can i say one thing about the deplorables comment, the difference with mitt romney is mitt romney tried to explain his comment on 47 away for weeks and didnt apologize right away, whereas Hillary Clinton, the reason i think the coverage went away she apologized for saying half. Ive got to move on. Interestingly, trump is liking comments more endowed, now calling her crazy, whacky, and neurotic dope. Shes, i think, off the Christmas Card list. Coming up, juicy stuff about trump and clinton in Colin Powells emails, but are foreign hackers driving the elections is this. And later, the dropping of the birther issue. Well name some names.

Gov president ial campaign has a new hacking victim, colin powell, the latest person to have his emails illegal he obtained, most likely by foreign hackers. A website with suspected ties to russia has released private emails from Colin Powells that strongly criticize both candidates for president. Former secretary of state colin powell took a healthy swing at both candidates in emails that were stolen and posted by a website called d. C. Leaks. Joining us now is james rosen, fox news chief washington correspondent and editor of the forthcoming book a torch kept lit. James, media used to engage in hand wringing about these illegal hackings and awful invasion of privacy and now its sort of, well, colin powell got hacked, thats too bad, lets move on to the juicy stuff. True, and its because the tempo of the large scale prominent hackings are occurring, is it self accelerating and were taking it for granted, its becoming a norm, really. Commonplace and we, therefore, skip over the ethical concern . Theres one ethical concern over the beginning which media have endeavored to uphold, which is verification of the authenticity. Theres a difference between readily publishing a false one versus a real one. In this case powell short circuited that by confirming these were his emails. In these emails powell called donald trump a national disgrace, among other things, said everything Hillary Clinton touches she screws up with hubris and says bill clinton was still cleaning this up, blanking the bimbos at home. For any News Organization, how do you not report that when everybody else is, does that become impossible . Virtually, yes. Even the most prestigious outlets are luring clicks away from cat videos, youre not going to make a point of avoiding something salacious and interesting like Colin Powells private emails. Lets put up the screen an interesting apology from dan abrams calls it a hollow apology rather than focusing on the fact that powell is the victim of a crime, we in the media have generally just exacerbated the violation by amplifying and spreading the news with little to no guilt. At least a little guilt . Its always healthy to feel a little guilt, ive known that since i was a child. Colin powell is in public service, doesnt mean hes not a victim here, but the injunction upon all of us to watch what we say in emails has been upon us for about 15 years or 20 years now. They say you make love by email and make war by phone, but look, were all just a hack away from ruin now and i think thats since the colin powell hacking theres been a more widespread sense of that. I think thats a really good point, the fact that there have been so many hackings and credit card information like we all have to think twice about things we used to think were private correspondence. Talked to powell, youve covered the state department over the years, i thought journalists liked colin powell, thought he was a good guy, got Good Relationship with the press, and has good coverage except during the time in the iraq war, do you think reporters kind of relishing this story taking colin powell down a peg or two . I think where colin powell enjoys a large reservoir of support probably is within the Washington Press corps, which he did assiduously cultivate when he was a public servant. I think colin powell has recognition in his own mind that his stellar career was tarnished or undermined in his service in the bush cheney administration, whether that was his fault or sbun elses is up for debate, i think, but i think theres a joy taken at the misery of others, and it was the same for the sony executives and everyone else until it happens to you, then its not so funny. Right, right, its funny, especially the gossipy part, until it happens to someone you know. This is the new normal, new reality. James rosen, thanks very much. Great to see you. After the break, a New York Times news story hammers donald trump for refusing to apologize for pushing the birther conspiracy. Well look at the medias outrage. All you need is love plays my friends know me so well. They can tell what im thinking, just by looking in my eyes. But what they didnt know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. I used artificial tears from the moment i woke up. To the moment i went to bed. So i finally decided to show my eyes some love,. Some eyelove. Eyelove means having a chat with your eye doctor abou because if youre using artificial tears often and still have symptoms, it could be chronic dry eye. Its all about eyelove, my friends.

And you wont have to guess when well turn up. Because after all. We should fit into your life. [ laughing ] not the other way around. [ clock ticking ] the major newspapers are skewering donald trump over his remarks on birtherism. Were back with the panel. This is a New York Times news analysis. Its still a news story written by a beat reporter. Headline, trump gives up a lie but refuses to repentd. The story says trump surrendered to reality after a Remarkable Campaign of relentless deception that tried to undermine the legitimacy of the nations first black president. Why does that sound like an editorial to me . Throughout that entire story, the reporter said this is not true. This is not true. I was struck when i was watching msnbc that day. Katy trk ur said after every sentence, this is not true, this is not true. What ive noticed is that the press has gone from bemusement and bewilderment and disbelief in covering donald trump to finally decide to do handtohand combat him. You see this especially in the New York Times . Absolutely you see it in the New York Times. The New York Times is focused a lot on intrigue and very flowery language and trying to describe donald trump being overly descriptive. From the Washington Post, theres a lot more indepth coverage of donald trump. I dont think any News Organization has covered either of what the president ial candidates would do as president. Well, the Washington Post is the other paper that day with a headline on not the lead story, but a side bar story. Never sorry, never responsible, and never more loved by supporters. That piece talked about trumps refusal to take ownership of the things hes said and done. The press wants to drive this issue home because they think its a winner for Hillary Clinton. The Africanamerican Community is very unhappy with him. Its very disrespectful for the first, you know, president obama. You had Michelle Obama on the circuit. But isnt it a little more balanced to also say never more loved by his supporters. It is true that even when trump backtracks or moves on from statements that, lets just say, have not been verified or that others say are untrue, it doesnt seem to move the needle. His supporters like him for his unconventional style or his call it like it is style. You saw romney, mccain both try to make nice with the press. They all thought the press might come around to them some day. Mccain joked the press was his base. Exactly. Donald trump is going handtohand combat right back with them. Hes a republican. It was pretty balanced. All that was true. I disagree. Hillary clinton started this her campaign started this birther rumor, and the press just wants to ignore that. She had dirty hands in this as well. Rve. She doesnt have dir i hands. They fired the volunteer that did this. Whatever Hillary Clintons volunteers or aides may have done, donald Trump Campaigned on birtherism. This was his thing. This was like banning all muslims was his thing. Its his thing and his supporters love it. They dont mind when he backs off because they think thats what the media is making him do. Coming wback to the press, d you think that donald trump pushed and hes not apologizing and is that reflected in the coverage . I think its reflected in the coverage. Ic thats true. Just as she got in trouble by not getting in front of the health stuff, he created it when he did the stunt at his hotel. It opened him up to it. I think theres a lot of bias on all sides, but the biggest bias ive experienced is the bias of the press to create a raise. Theyre going to make something out of him right now. Now that hes moving, theyre going to knock him down. Just about out of time. Brief comment, snern. The press always wants a race, but i think theyve treated it as not a race. Rve a month ago i said the polls would stop writing off donald trump. Thanks very much for joining us this sunday. Still to come, two big stories about donald trump that turned out to be wrong.

New york post created a huge media storm by publishing these 20yearold nude modeling photos of melania trump, raising questions whether she was in the u. S. Illegally and whether she lied to immigration authorities. Now that a trump lawyer has certified melania did the photo shoot on a legitimate visa, the post ran one photograph says the photographered a admitted giving the paper wrong information. Where are the corrections for everyone else when ran with this story many the media ripped the Trump Foundation for trying to influence pam bondy after the orlando sent knell reported her office was considering an investigation of trump university. The New York Times has now undercut that story by revealing the 25,000 check was signed and dated four days before that story. Good for the times, but have you seen much other coverage of this . Nope, the media just move on. Donald trump was on jimmy kimmel the other night. The tonight show host boldly went when cable news types have already gone. Sald jimmy fallon is great but he copied me. Watch. Theres no receding hairline. Tiny. No, its good. Just went in there. Thanks a lot, alex. I couldnt get to move. Oh, well.
