Anytime you want and i always appreciate it let me go to lionel first in new york im not going to list all of the mistakes the Mainstream Media has made over the last few months because that would take up the entire program and then some suffice to say lionel i think its quite evident that the New York Times the Washington Post c. N. N. M. S. M. The m s n b c and other news organizations theyre making mistakes because they have a blind hatred for donald trump their blind hatred is throwing journalistic practices and principles out the window and this is damaging the information sphere in the United States and i would say the political process as well go ahead lionel. I would venture to say is an admixture of trump derangement syndrome in full bloom its negligence its malfeasance and also is that amazing isnt it amazing in shocking perhaps that none of these mistakes every new are to the benefit of trump already body else or they never deal with Hillary Clinton or those of the socalled left and Progressive Left or whatever its always a unit directional mistake there is never and by the by the biggest problem right now that is facing this country is not this this this this problem gay shit in this proliferation i should say of sexual dalliances its the fact that todays Mainstream Media todays ted baxter sockpuppet echo chamber rancid ossified media is dead its through isnt it death throes and the face is an existential threat thats their problem and youd think theyd be shaping up as you know you can then they really were negligent that eric let me go do you think thats a very good point to mention i mean they should be they should get their act together but you know we had we still dont know why three different outlets confirm the same. Bogus russia story last week they just had a retraction or an update but they dont they dont explain to the public how they came to that disastrous conclusion across the board i mean no wonder people dont trust the media anymore theyre not transparent go ahead eric. So i find everything ive heard said on this program so far to be ridiculous i think the Mainstream Media are first of all the word media is a plural noun so to talk about the media you have to make distinctions between which media youre discussing. I think the media you mean which is c. N. N. The New York TimesWashington Post and cetera i think theyre an impossible position because they are faced with a president who lies on average six times a day thats a statistic compiled by the Washington Post he probably lies much more than that but those are the lies theyve caught using a very narrow definition of a lie so the Mainstream Media doesnt act the Mainstream Media doesnt lie is that what youre saying first of all were talking. Well im pretty capable of saying exactly what i want you not to put words in my mouth but im trying to understand your words thoughts owns lies fox news fox news lies but no the Mainstream Media by and large certainly the New York TimesWashington Post and other reputable outlets never lie on purpose they make with stakes but its very hard to cover a president who is purposely undermining american democracy who again lies on average six times a day and doesnt care that its called lying let me ask you a question just take one for instance donald trump repeatedly tweeted that barack Obama Wiretapped him on purpose now the Justice Department found that that was not true as well but theyre saying how there seems to be overwhelming evidence that he was serious here less than he was i dont sort of a im not im not around then i dont know theres no i wouldnt i dont know i know i said before that im sort of that thought and i dont want to have any filibustering its one voice i believe in freedom feel about for and i want to hear that freedom of speech from patrick inclement go ahead patrick react to what youve heard so far would have. First of all im going to disagree with what eric said about defining the terms im going to say media as a singular entity because when it comes to all things russian grammatical things and trying to media do it well it might be grammatically correct but it does represent the reality of the situation which is that media is completely together in lockstep reading off the same hymn sheet on all things russian and if you want to talk about the Mainstream Media this these are all fake news stories for Mainstream Media this is just my file for the Washington Post the New York Times c. N. N. Granted cnns house for this but this is perhaps my favorite pokey man go was hijacked by Vladimir Putin to mislead americans this is a c. N. N. Exclusive this is just one example of many and to say that the the. What youre doing eric is is creating a false equivalency trying to compare Donald Trumps twitter tirades to the fourth whats supposed to be the Fourth Estate who has a collective budget operating budget of over ten million ten billion sorry billion dollars in the United States all of these Mainstream Media outlets basically putting out fake news the c. N. N. Wiki leaks story is quite interesting because the same socalled sources were used apparently by c. B. S. News as well as c. N. N. And others and you read the email and you can see the date it was september fourteenth so i had the question is you know were these did these sources actually read the socalled evidence or should it have been done in braille or or the c. N. N. So journalists socalled journalists are they illiterate how does this type of mistake come to come to be and how is it repeated and passed on to other laundered laundered through c. N. N. And then on him he said b. S. I mean you are a c. N. N. Uses twitter i dont like to put fake news out and then retracts it let me go to line here i mean its that ok the story that was just mentioned by patrick there i mean its a they want to believe in what they say this is they see this and they they jump on board is it laziness or is it you know what level of intentionality because it i said theres so many of them i mean patrick has held up a whole stack of the i mean it seems endless i could cant imagine this would have happened during the Obama Administration go ahead lionel well. Well the first had to start off with the idea as evidence exhibit a by well after all you have the most lining president so therefore anything that happens is somehow waiting cancelled by the fact that well trump is a liar lets take this week now you know how is a c. N. N. Story about donald trump and a wiki leaks memo or an email and all it did was a reading a day correctly so its all about which is reading a date correctly and not say oh for a fourteen its all a was it was a transposition of numbers thats all that was now you tell me how Donald Trumps mendacity. And thank you for clarifying that medium is a singular noun not a plural but tell me how to their employer only now you know the same name down city you get a little bit of a two to two wax veritas twin you explain to me how that has anything to do with c. N. N. Or somebody else to say you know what we made a mistake thats all it is. Erik you want to reply to that go ahead sure first of all im not here to defend c. N. N. I think c. N. N. Is pretty crappy and they did make a mistake and they did admit it. So journalists make mistakes old time its a very imperfect. Practice thats why its called the first draft of history the press is there to make room said that what you what you were doing what you were doing what you were doing is actually trying to create a false equivalence between the deliberate lies of the Trump Administration and its supporters and the mistakes that are part of being a part of a journalist im not saying dont make mistakes im not saying this will not think you know united smits im still not there has been very specious premise has donald pro is not what has gone from im not done im not confident when has donald trump admitted that or kodama was born in the United States. No waiting ok lets talk about something out there like that happen this is very good ultimate good thing else i dont talk about what were talking about now bring Something Else up fantastic look i want to give you an example i was attacking your absolutely baseless claim you said the problem is forget the fact that this is fake media we have the most lying the most mendacious president there is thats what you said i was addressing that so what do you do when youre losing the argument lets bring up the birth or thing lets change the subject but i dont know with whom you do they have a lot of bases listen to a little not what i said what i said is work what i said is listen fucking what i said youre misrepresenting what i said youre misrepresenting what i think what i said is i dont think theyre difficult. Speak go ahead eric go ahead go ahead let what i said i did not change the subject what i said is the media are not up to the job of covering a president who lies on average six times a day and doesnt care that hes caught lying will just lie every time hes caught lying so theyre not thats very difficult to do because you cant fact that every single sentence the president says so theyre going to make mistakes theres going to be more mistakes theyre going to be serious mistakes that does not take away from the fact that this president is what i say hello good morning our democracy and our media and our media are going to hold a lot of holding that stands between it well in. Their head of course we go to it seems to me this really low standards of journalism thats whats destroying democracy and the faith in the system that the journalism has to take responsibility for what they do forty seconds patrick before we go to the break go ahead newsflash eric and everybody politicians lie barack obama im going to close gitmo with rooms on president and i could get on and on and on on those laws so politicians i was elected can you tell me let me finish let me finish sir let me finish sure. Ok you can expect to make excuses for what you call the Fourth Estate and sort its ok for them to what you call make mistakes theyre fabricating news stories theyre fabricating sources theyre literally making up news and putting it out on the cycle there is no evidence of russian collusion eighteen months later theres nothing fake news for eighteen straight months on all the Major Networks and newspapers that is the fake news crisis it is not all right gentlemen im going to be here with you to go to a short break and after that short break well continue our discussion on the state of the media stay with our team. Heres what people have been saying about rejected in the. Show i go out of my way to. Really packed a punch. Is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than. To see people you never heard of love to the next president of the world bank. Seriously send us an email. Twenty. C. Our Central Banks claim to their Strategic Reserves alongside gold so. Gold buyers like china and russia will be adding to their Strategic Reserves some of the banks as well and they can completely change their fortunes in the Global Economy by switching over to crypto switching over to bitcoin and then that will set a precedent for other countries of policy. The sony of luxury and fame but also an Alarming Number of People Living in the streets. Simple fact in l. A. Hes theres just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in theres nowhere to come in its been a struggle. This man found his own reason gone to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. You know having Something Like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution plainly house on a city parking space is not a solution. To someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. Welcome across like were all Things Considered im peter bell to remind you were discussing the state of the media. Ok let me go back to eric in new york and i think you would least concede that the liberal Mainstream Media has it out for trump and i think thats why theyre making all of these mistakes because they have a certain goal and anything that they going can get their hands on or even make up theyre going to employ because they think theyre morally correct they think theyre doing the right thing i actually believe that they think that theyre doing the right thing but what i do what bothers me is what we said in this program is that damages the profession of journalism in the process and the trust people have in the media go ahead eric well first of all i concede nothing you just said. To go back to the previous point i happen to have. Read my doctoral dissertation at Stanford University on president ial lying on the history of president s like i published a book called when president s lie and im writing a second book on president ial lying right now for basic books. Not all president s. Know my never told a lie may i finish or it may i finish may i finish. Obama well though you and your new like. Eric keep going eric keep going. Well the example you brought up sir its not a lie obama said he would close gitmo he tried to close gitmo and congress would lead thats not a law without a waiting thats a failed policy were still waiting you know and years later finish may have. Youre waiting for obama because i want to know when its going to close president Hillary Clinton. Benefit and you. May have finished you have to answer the to answer the moderators question. The little quote unquote liberal media are not a liberal the Mainstream Media is in the business of making money thats why during the Campaign Donald trump was given billions of dollars in free media with his speeches being carried live his phone calls been carried live where he lied consistently lied about virtually everything he said as again he has told according to the Washington Post count hes been erics heir and then theres her writings program is about not letting me finish well because youre going into the weeds again this program is about professional journalism is we dont need to hear the crickets on these other topics ok i mean birth urson you know all this is not on the top of what its about to get at the president ial is one of journalism and they are breaking their bond with the public the polls show it ok let me go to lionel last year c. B. S. News said the president said trump is good for c. B. S. For exactly the same reasons that eric mentioned here its not about dating the story right its about the kind of propaganda that you want to propagate and make money off of it that is a disgrace to journalism you should stop calling it journalism then leinil go ahead. This is going to be one of the greatest interviews discussions ever because this fellow doesnt exactly i beg to differ what everybody hates he is the personification of that which we hate prevarication and not admitting which is true and obvious to anybody the issue that peter asked was what do you do about not fake news not bias because we can argue bias all day long but what about when they just get it wrong then they just get about thats the framework mr p. H. D. Thats the framework so what this fellow does is sort of answering that because he cant answer it hes smart enough to realize i have no answer let me throw in something about trump being a liar and that is the reason why the mainstream liberal media is dying its going to last throes Everybody Knows it and you sure are exhibit a and i present to the jury that is the world see this is what its about cant even answer the question all you had to do was just concede that the jew the duty of journalism is just to get it right would it have killed your fella to say that but you cant do it because you know we i dont know what i do i get what i mean theres some kind of a and then made america the Community One hundred clean let me go to patrick here but patrick one of the things that gets going i dont know you like to deal with facts here but unlike the liberal media that makes make things up i mean you know it was seventeen intelligence agencies. Its a fact that the d. N. C. Was hard but the f. B. I. Never looked at the servers the d. N. C. Didnt allow that what im getting at is that you keep hearing on c. N. N. And this n. B. C. Eccentrics they keep repeating the same unsubstantiated. It claims as if it is. A law of gravity and you never hear anybody pushing back there this group think this is exactly what it is its group think and its turned into a cult with it really its a religious cult now they have and anyone that violates it is considered a heretic go ahead patrick like us i suppose you know for us i will agree with eric that its not a liberal media exclusively per se that happens to be a kind of a liberal hysterical insurgency right now in the Mainstream Media but c. N.
