His farewell speech there were a bunch of tweets from buzzfeed political staffers saying i cant stop crying. im so sad. >> their journalists have done a good job. some topnotch organizations have taken their topnotch reporters. they have broken a lot of news over time. but buzzfeed is not going to get the same access to president trump. buzzfeed is saying we have access to the same information. i think he was trying to show he can play in the game. >> if he had the same information on hillary cl...

You have people applaud over something like that. do you know what i love about the buzzfeed thing? the transparent excuse. they ran it because it was interesting. when we did the anthony weiner story we didnt do it because it was about politics. >> its because you want to say it on tv. greg: exactly. >> its interesting in its wackiness like an urban legend. you want them to be true. everyone wants this to be true but lets be real, come on. greg: its like the richard gere story. theres no indica...

Far calling buzzfeed a failing pile of garbage? >> absolutely not. the press has been against donald trump since the day -- since the say he entered this race. next day it went out and sold "pile of garbage" t-shirts on its website. howie: people out there say you dont like trump and this is the kind of thing you did. but many news organizations had this information and did not publish it. >> he was highly praising of the "new york times" saying they did not go forward with this information. and...

Maybe. i but i think folks, whether theyre at nbc, "new york times" or the "washington post," any of the big news outlets we hear about and read and see, it could be any of those outlets on any given day. the target of trumps ire does change from day to day and week to week. he has called "the new york times" failing, and has attacked other news outlets as well. right now his target is cnn and buzzfeed for other reasons. right now hes calling cnn fake news, which is untrue, but it could and will...

Uncorroborated, unsubstantiated and let it go. >> all of that is true. >> would be over. >> talking about something that continues to get focus because its bright shiny object. if one were to take wish the material there is potential or supposed collaboration between the trump campaign and russia, i dont understand why not talking about that. >> thats the next question. >> taste of his own medicine which is part of the problem here. again a lot of news organizations have looked into this. buzzfe...

So im hopeful that with the new administration youre going to see and uplift and a lot of facets from the government. >> eric: one question that people have right now is mr. trumps relationship with the media going forward. theres been some contention going back and forth over the last couple of days. buzzfeed publishing that 35 page unconfirmed, not fact-checked, never double sourced dossier as they called it. what will that relationship look like with the media quest mark >> i think some of th...

More tweets from the president-elect, bashing the media this week and an inaccurate conflation of buzzfeeds actions with the legitimate reporting by cnn, to dissect the week that was. cnn senior media correspondent, host of "reliable sources" brian steltser joins me. >> this is about the fundamental question of whats reliable. what are the reliable sources. >> cnn did one thing, buzzfeed did a very different thing by dumping the entire memo online. >> unverified and some allegations were false, ...

>> a president. anyways. hes still putting the word intelligence in quotes, right, so saying maybe its not, as i look at this. probably in quotes as well released fake news. why does he continue to alienate himself from the intelligence community? >> well, to be fair, even james clapper and many people in the intelligence community have, nobody would have printed this, right? cnn didnt print this. it was one blog who we all know that buzzfeed put this out, not cnn, not any reputable, respectable...
