Page 492 - Terrorist Attacks News Today

Daily post this week i commend to everyone which basically says the medias errors are starting to pile up and the trump administration lists six or seven things that were said as fact that are just wrong and people had to retract them. thats human nature. >> how about the presidents statements, kellyanne, that are false, like the murder rate is the highest its been in almost half a century? false. how about the fact that the media doesnt report on terrorist attacks? false. i mean, you can talk a...

Said the press does not report on terrorist attacks. >> jim, thank you. democrats launched a blitz against secretary nominee betsy devos. the confirmation vote is scheduled for noon eastern time today and one democratic senator hopes that a third republican senator may cross party lines and vote against devos which would kill the nomination. we have cnns sunlen serfaty live from capitol hill. democrats hope to get another republican, as we sit here at 4:30, we dont have word there is one. >> r...

Go down that route, which is different than accusing the news media of just ignoring horrific situations that happen, which is a staple of what cable news does, for better or worse, as you just said in the examples. and you have talked about. im kind of thinking that this is comfortable territory for president trump to look at what happened. he bashed the media. hes comfortable with that. and he talked about the threat of terrorists. you can do that at this stage early in the administration wher...

Careful to say that most of these attacks were not reported on adequately enough, but just going through the list, theres no scoring system or grade system here to say, okay, these attacks were covered adequately, these attacks were not. and most puzzling of all, anderson, inside this list, you see mentions of the paris attacks, where 129 people died, the san bernardino terrorist attack, the nice truck attack, and as you know, these are terror attacks that we covered days on end, not only here a...

Made to sean spicer if this does go all the way to the supreme court theres a four to four split right now and so the possibility does exist that if this executive order does get to the supreme court that it could be frozen there or not really decided on definitively, this temporary restraining order may stay in place some time and thats something that the president may have to get used to. he was also asked about that tweet, wolf, where he said over the weekend that if theres a terrorist attack...

Reading something stupid on twitter, its that what hes saying is illogical, the press would cover up terrorist attacks, which is what he implieded. it doesnt add up logically, thats where this is really curious now, 2 1/2 weeks into this presidency. >> some may call it logical, and others delusional. my big question is, you said, he wont let anything go, he has to win everything. or is there a strategy behind this, while were off covering the shiny objects, hes putting executive orders in place,...

The dishonest press doesnt want to report it. >> he referring to terrorist attacks over the days and weeks. let me ask you about the presidents authority. is that -- if he said nobody from these seven countries gets in, would he have been better off? >> he could have been better off. even on the face of the order putting aside the rhetoric about banning muslims, the order discriminates based on religions. >> the reference to the what to do after the ban on refugees where he says minorities --

Its just a fact the media has covered a lot of what the president said we did not. were going to discuss right now. ryan lizza, washington correspondent for "the new yorker" and lynn sweet for the "chicago sun times." we are more often criticized for overreporting terrorist attacks, sensationalizing them. this is the first time from the president of the united states saying were not reporting them enough. >> the shock with the eight screens. no doubt about it that cnn as other news networks have...

A terrorist attack will likely happen in the future. those things are uncontrollable. its almost as if they want us talking about this, in case, might happen. >> this is one of those talking points, all you have to do is spend a few seconds on google, and the talking point doesnt hold up, i mean, we at cnn spent days on end covering many of these terrorist attacks listed in this list that was provided by the white house. we should point out journalists are putting their lives on the line every d...

Trying to implement in order to better protect americans from those kinds of terrorist attacks on american soil. >> they just did supply this list of 78 attacks. they put brussels there, the paris attacks in november of 2015, orlando, media obviously covered those extensively. i happened to be among the many on the ground in all of those cases. we talked to the families of the perpetrators, the families of the victims, we talked about u.s. visa policy, what that meant. and we did this for days a...
