Page 28 - A Question News Today

Confident in my colleagues work but its more about the function of journalism as a whole, of the fourth estate, going back to george washingtons times. this is a pillar of the way open societies work, and one is allowing us to do our work, for instance, letting my colleague jim acosta ask a question, not shout him down, but beyond that, when you produce work that is well sourced and youve done your work on it, that can be accepted. here you find nearly an administration that seems to be part of ...

President-elect donald trump has a formula that works with his base but not a majority of the country at least not yet. bad news attack the media. he tried to shut out cnn at his press conference yesterday. jim acosta fought for the right to question the president-elect. watch. >> youre attacking our news organization. can you give us a chance. >> your news organization is terrible. >> can you give us a chance to ask a question, sir. sir -- >> commonwealth. go ahead. >> president-elect can you -...

Jim, how did you feel that dynamic played out yesterday? >> you know, my feeling was that he was attacking us and he was attacking us repeatedly. attacking the credibility of this news organization calling us fake news. i thought if hes going to do that then he should take a question from us. thats why i was being persistent. i wasnt trying to be rude or disrespectful. i have no constitutional right to ask the president or president-elect a question. i thought in fairness in that moment he shoul...

I dont know whether or not that was what happened. i cant say that for sure. >> you dont know if she planned to ask that question. >> exactly. and if thats what she was doing thats wonderful. yes, in the briefing room there have been plenty of times where josh earnest doesnt answer major garretts questions one of us will say lets go back to that question and get an answer. its a tradition. i think its a good one. the story is not about us. the story is about donald j. trump. how is this going to...

The ukrainians defend themselves. thats a pretty hardheaded approach. even though he wouldnt exceed to demand that he go around denouncing putin and assad for war crimes, he seemed to be saying we are going to be tough. as for the sanctions imposed for the interference with our elections, i think he is right. they are puny, insignificant party wont repeal them but he leaves it an open question as to whether, once they decide how to act, how putin reacts to the new administration. seems to be a r...

>> im not going to give you a question. you are fake news. >> we are live in washington. >> sarah palin back in the spotlight cheering our president elect as a fearless leader and big announcement that shes now promising. >> and hold the coffee, your morning joe about to cost a little bit more. "fox & friends" starts right now. clayton: dark and early here this morning in midtown manhattan. good morning, youre watching "fox & friends" on this thursday morning. im rob today for heather

>> but blasting the media and the nations top intelligence leaders informed him and president obama about possible incriminating information in the hands of the russians. >> its a disgrace that information would be let out. its all fake news. its phony stuff. it didnt happen. >> the president elect singling out some media outlets that reported on the intel claims and taking aim at u.s. intelligence agencies as he pointed to the denial. >> they put out a statement today that this fake news was in...

Out of the beginning before he said a word did announce the news media on this. then the vice president, who spoke next, mentioned it. the president-elect himself mentioned it, there by calling attention to a matter that i think wasnt going very far and wasnt going to receive wide circulation and would have been forgotten in a matter of days. it may still be but it raises an interesting question of when you go out after something like that, you simply end up feeding the story. well see. >> bret:...

Political management or people from the white house forcing them to do that. so, that is one thing. she said they are over the moon with pompeo, who wants to focus on human intelligence versus the drone way that obama handled it. by the way, i just want to say that senator camilla harris, kamala harris, asking about climate change, what a dumb question. >> why? >> rachel: this is exactly why why -- this is exactly why they lost. >> harris: congressman pompeo said we are not going to go there. be...

>> harris: the bar is different, though. so if you or are were tipped last summer, because this information was out pretty widely, other journalist knew about it. >> i was in wausau, wisconsin, and i heard about it. tickle your cut husband is sitting husbanding sitting member of congress, so im sure you get that. my point is the onus falls on that intel agency to look at it differently than you are i would look at it even in the media. the vetting progress process that they go through, clappers ...
