thousands of miles away, as a book with the times puts it, why wouldn t they mention that? it was mentioned in the story that mike pompeo was going to vehicle why wouldn t they put two and two together? obviously he s there for a very important mission, this upcoming north korea summit. that s exactly right. the president enjoyed taking a swipe at the new york times. it reflects the medias fixation with optics. the suggestion is it s more important for him to be here in washington on the decision that had already been made that was being announced by the president said to be on an airplane going to pyongyang to talk about, you know, possible discernment of north korea. the times has a very different story today that all of this about president trump potentially being in line for a nobel prize is maybe not that crazy. the other thing that really gets me, do you think this decision to back out of the iran deal was made after pompeo left? no. mike pompeo has been very much
away to celebrate an antist unveiling a mural in london, the hands of prince harry and megan markel, the artist inspired by a picture of the couple when they were engaged. he said the faces were left out to make the mural mysterious. it s in a shopping plaza in the u.k., wedding set for may 19. at windsor castle chapel. fascinating to see the world react, any time the royal family has a baby, gets married, i wish we had that here. i don t but it is fun to watch. the tradition, the pomp, the circumstance, it s all good. well, that is going to do it for us. thank you for joining us today. outnumbered starts right now. president trump has announced the date and location of his summit with sim jong un. it kim jong-un, may 12 in singapore. the president tweeted the news after welcoming home three americans held inside north korea and calling their return a
settle. the new york times under fire again for a headline bashing mike pompeo as missing in action. the paper said, at a key moment, the fives top diplomat is thousands of miles away referring to the last time rex tillerson was out of time. the new york times questioning the whereabouts of mike pompeo during president trump s decision to withdraw from the iranian deal. turns out the secretary of state was busy. he was flying to north korea to help three americans cap capture there. the host of media buzz and the author of media matters: donald trump and the war of the press over truth. do you think the times bothered to find out where exactly pompeo was before, drawing some drastic conclusions of him being m.i.a.? first, julie,
all hands on when it comes to this decision very clearly that the decision was made before pompeo was sent to north korea. it was a 1-2 punch for the white house and the new york times missed it. i think it was fair for journals to point out that rex tillerson did seem out of sync with his box fell like boss and out of the loop of major decisions. he was very humble with him at the cia and now state department. it is negative or false write-ups like this that led to the president s tweet regarding the fake news. let s put that up on the screen. fake news is working overtime. just reported that despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy and all things else, 91% of the network news about me is negative. fake! why do we work so hard and working with the media when it is corrupt? takeaway credentials? do you ever see him following through with this and what with the fallout be if the president were to censor the press that way?
