Coverage of their movement by mainstream media -- >> looks like weve got a stash here of some amsterdam, new amsterdam citron vodka. >> reporter: they took control of their story. >> we were not pleased with the media, because somebody would be at home watching a channel. they would text or tweet someone and say this is the story thats being told about you. >> this is just an excuse to just go out there to rob and loot. >> and i know thats not true because i was just out there myself. >> theres ...

Operative colonel tony schaeffer. you heard the president. a ton of hyperbole in the so-called mainstream press about his statements around vladimir putin and colluding and meddling. what do you make of the presidents comments? >> you are right. this is over-the-top. ted lieu and i were going at it because the congressman accused the russians of hacking. every report thats been out there thats incredible to include comments from mike pompeo and down is that there is quote, unquote, some level of...

>> no. the mainstream press has been relentless. we see the stats come out this week -- >> wait, wait, wait. >> health care 5% coverage. >> come on -- nothing -- >> russia gets 9% of coverage. >> no way is the media, as much as i would love more power, theres no way the media is powerful enough to force a president to talk to "the new york times" and say he regrets putting jeff sessions in the post and that jeff sessions is weak and -- the media is not forcing the president to tweet his attacks....
