Conservative individuals, it would have been page one in every newspaper across the country. am i wrong? >> you are not wrong. you have madonna saying that she thought a whole lot about blowing up the white house and now the secret service is investigating her. i havent seen a whole lot of coverage about that in the mainstream media. if that was said about another president with a different political party next to their name, it would be front-page news and it should be, quite frankly. >> bill: ...

Any press coverage, much press coverage of it at all, it is all, oh, look how many people showed up, they want their rights, they want to be heard, there is no focus on the hate. that is not honest reporting, mary anne. >> i think a lot of outlets, media outlets, tv outlets in particular, ran clubs like the one we just watched. they did good coverage. >> bill: i didnt see it. >> did they get coverage to the extent that you wanted to see? i think the crowd size with wal and we think that became t...

That, theres no pitician or president thats going to like all their press coverage. but, hes out there complaining about a tweet which again im not going to give extra air time to something that had to be corrected, but it was corrected. so its monday. im not sure that -- but for political junkies, everyone else is thinking about the tweet that apparently the white house press secretary and perhaps the president are thinking about. >> it was the tweet was corrected. it was corrected within a mat...

Access. there are jackets warm precedence for having allowed that access and transparency. and the white house association will continue to piper that. >> jon: many words hurled at the press during the campaign rallies. he was describing the media as disgusting, pick your terms, there were others. but after won the election, there seem to be a moderating of the tome. is that over? is it going to be sort of warfare between the trump administration and the media? >> look, no president is ever comp...

Under president obama. i should say, eight years, when he attempted to delegitimize fox news as fake news. he didnt use that term, but that is what he said, fox was not a real news organization read why did he say that? because he didnt like being challenged. he didnt like being asked the tough question, the same thing is going on now with donald trump and cnn. he didnt like the fact that cnn reported that the president and he had been presented with a summary of those salacious details in the m...

Senate armed services committee. you can expect he and his close friends senator lindsey graham also on the committee to aggressively go after the issue tomorrow, and its going to be fascinating to see how donald trump responds to the press coverage of that hearing. to me the question is if and when trump gets irritable about this and puts pressure on mcconnell to shut it down, what does mcconnell do? >> maybe we should get a countdown clock. >> yes. >> the race for the chair of the dnc. democra...

Her would get a plus one from me. and we do have enormous respect for her and her colleagues at abc news. anybody who watches just this past week the job she did sitting in for her colleague on this week with george stephanopoulos, it was a tour de force in how you interview people right, left and center on issues you know something about. >> shes among the best weve got in this country. >> i completely agree with you. i would like to broaden the conversation if i may -- >> wait. are we going to...
