Beneficial to both russia and the united states and not carry on the current -- the then current policies of the obama administration, which this paper described as harmful to russian and the united states. >> did the documents get into specifics about friendly media? because during the campaign, sean hannity, for example, at fox news could not have been more friendly to this kind of information from russia or anywhere else. >> well, i think the document is very concise in its language, accordin...

There could be a lot of players. >> thats a very interesting question. these outlets are businesses and ultimately, bill oreillys departure has less to do with his content than the fallout from the business. this is something that im fascinated by. if there is going to befully turn in terms of the conservative support for donald trump, it will have to be the folks in the conservative media who will take that position. who will stand up to be the fact checker. who will be the one to say okay, wel...
