there is a line to be challenging and challenge facts. and then be cheering for them not to do well or appear like you are on one side. and clearly, the coverage of the campaign we saw elements of that. and opinion writing on front pages, and very aggressive coverage. so they have the upper hand right now, the trump administration, and we ll see where it goes. howie: bret baier, good to see you. next on mediabuzz, i ll tangle with corey lewandowski in just a moment. i don t want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there s harvoni. a revolutionary treatment
didn t like it. was this inauguration different from your anchor chair from the others you covered or watched in that protest and even some on the right not liking the speech? donald trump is almost like an independent candidate who has taken on both parties. bret: this is part of the completion of the takeover of the republican party. it s not a hostile takeover because people went willingly in part because of the actions of the obama administration and the action or inaction of republicans in the past. this was donald trump, this is what they wanted. a souped up inaugural version of a campaign speech. but that fit what they are looking to do, that is, change washington at its core in in that sense it felt very different. as far as the coverage it was great to work alongside martha
it doesn t seem fair to me. that s why trump is trying to redefine things. howie: let s talk for a moment about the impact. pew research did a follow. trump voters 40% said fox was their main source. cnn8%, facebook 6%. hillary clinton cnn, 18%. hillary clinton voters were more diverse in their viewing habits. but a lot of trump voters watch fox. a lot of people were watching fox news for the coverage because as trump supporters you turn on cnn and msnbc and they are talking about a dark speech,
hate and divisiveness for hope, love and unity. journalists on air described the marches being that way. it s ignoring these mars included a variety of issues messages that were violent and vulgar. howie: she dropped the f bomb on cnn. lawrence o donnell tweeted why should the networks protect the public against word we all use. we are supposed to [bleep] those words out. howie: it s hard when you don t have a script and it s live coverage. what happened yesterday was unusual. it was the day after the inauguration. it exceeded expectations of what the numbers were suppose to be. i think a lot of the coverage
