Setting. i know parts have been leaked out, but id rather have the full context before i comment on that. >> all right, marc short. at least i know youre not contractually bound to defend stuff like that. youre just doing it because you want to, and youre welcome back here to make the case, and were going to have you many times. marc short, thank you and be well. >> thanks. all right. so, this google complaint that its rigged against the president has trump says, is there anything to it, or is...

Results were negative. after for the -- theyre dismissing cbs, and cnn as niche agenda drivers which ironically is what p.j. media is. just because trumps theory smells of tripe on this basis, it doesnt mean google and others are in the clear. just today the companys ceo was criticized for refusing to testify before the senate intel committee about russian meddling. now, those are serious questions that have a basis in fact. as for this current matter with trump, google says search is not used t...

Criticize the media, which i appreciate you for. but the fact of the matter is if google and these other platforms were as socially responsible as theyre claiming to be, then their algorithms would allow you to see both sides of coverage of someone -- >> but youre not 2telling a material fact. sometimes when youre harder to find, its because your content is generating comments or reaction that abuse -- >> but thats not what google -- googles response was today, we take algorithms that basically ...

Very serious charge. so i think that google and twitter and facebook, theyre really treading on very, very troubled territory, and they have to be careful. its not fair to large portions of the population. >> sound indefinite? more feeling than fact? thats because it is. its actually almost completely devoid of any fact of apparent insight. but then what do we learn? it was on fox last night, and the president tweeted just this morning. what a coincidence. the charge is when you google trump, it...

You have to look at why. ive seen this happen a lot online. look, as i was talking to marc short earlier, there are real questions for google and -- >> i would think the media would -- why is the media against transparency hearings and finding out whats happening on social media to find out what their algorithms -- i think you would say great job, mr. president. youre right. >> why are you such a broad brush there and make it a criticism of the media when really its about the context of what tru...

(vo) go national. go like a pro. see what i did there? looks like president trump has a new way to avoid mccains legacy and muellers reach. a hot notion that google is out to get him. now, hes choosing fertile ground to launch a conspiracy. shadow banning and legitimate questions about the search engine google and other major platforms that go to our privacy and their algorithms and their larger responsibility to protect our democracy -- all legit. not to mention why i get ads for all kinds of...

Thats unfortunate. listen, donald trump has achieved some pretty extraordinary stuff. he started off as an outsider. he was able to lead an insurgency, take over his party, win, and actually govern d.c. and florida. hes not only the king. hes the king maker. he doesnt have to stoop to the kind of stuff he does. hes actually on the merits from his point of view doing a really good job. but then he does stuff like this, and when you add this to the google thing where hes threatening private compan...

Provider of that. if you look at martha blackburns campaign this year, she tweeted out a pro-life statement that google decided to take down. that is not something that has happened to pro-abortion candidates. it has happened to pro-life candidates. >> why did they say they took it down, marc? because theres more to that story with that with blackburn. why did they take down a pro-life statement? >> i think that as i recall, their concerns were about there were certain parts of the pro-abortion ...

Thats very dangerous, and i dont think its fair. i think the president should be very careful about stuff like that. >> ill agree with you on one thing. i believe in a strong media. i believe the media is essential, and i believe the media has to be trusted. let me give you an example of just today. dweert blew up and said -- reporters tweeting and stories were written that said president trumps adviser today said he wants to regulate google. when you look at the question he was asked, would you...

Together, continues to throw out this red meat and alarm people frankly on both sides. its a cheap way to govern when frankly on the merits, hes actually been achieving most of his objectives. she just talk about that. >> mike, i know the topic of google, even though i suggest that the president saw what was on fox last night. he saw that pj media article. he decided to tweet about it this morning. him and his concerns about himself aside, you see an issue. >> yeah. i mean first of all, vice new...
