Blue and welcome to cross talk were all things are considered im Peter Lavelle a cursory glance at the media environment could easily give you the impression that the vast majority of journalists studied psychology at university so many are convinced donald trump is not mentally fit to be president or the same journalist suffering from trump derangement syndrome. Crosstalk in the media im joined by my guests the mts were going new york he is a conservative political commentator in bloomington indiana. Kevin howley he is a professor of media studies and duval university and author of drones media discourse and the public imagination i love that title and in West Palm Beach we cross to dr jean allowed in she is a psychology expert and host of america trends with dr gina ok crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate it kevin let me go to you first here is the media suffering from trumped arrangement syndrome because i did go through the things that weve had to deal with i mean i actually made up a list here you know from pussy hat marches to the comi stuff to steal dossier and its contents we have the motor investigation we have a shady lawyer don don jr being just a shady one then we have these Long Distance experts determining the Mental Health of the president of the United States and we can go on and theres a lot more to the media goes bonkers so are the media bonkers go ahead kevin. Nothing new under the sun in many respects weve seen this before we can go back to any number of instances think about the clinton impeachment and how that became a National Obsession over the o. J. Simpson trial what were seeing here i think is an application and intensification of a tendency thats been part of the media sort of the court of the d. N. A. Of the Corporate Media for many years now ok steve but i do think it is different because theyre trying to unseat this president without any due cause and you know you know im a lay person will talk to jean in a second she has more expertise in this here but when i see people going on and c. N. N. An embassy in d. C. Saying the president of states is insane and should be reviewed reviewed removed from office thats going too far i dont think anybody said bill clinton was insane ok he had a problem with his ip or not his Mental Health go ahead steve. No i mean this to me this is unprecedented its a continuation of bush derangement syndrome notice it skips democratic president s they hated bush they said all kinds of disrespectful things against him but not to this extent i mean ive talked to people like you know in the Nixon White House who said they hated nixon but theyve never seen anything like this what the media is doing now is more dangerous than anything they have done because theyre telling the world you know theyre so worried about Donald Trumps tweets theyre telling the world every single day and of course its not true that our president is mentally incapacitated unable to perform his duties and that were very very weak at this point and that we have a lot of enemies out there so they think theyre playing this little game to get rid of the president and throwing journalism aside but theyre actually doing severe horror to our country and i would say to journalism itself and well talk about that a little bit later jeanne let me go to uni West Palm Beach i mean youre youre a professional mental Mental Health i mean how do you react to seeing journalists on the on the cable stations talking about the health level of the president of the United States must be quite shocking for you because you are an expert was interesting because i dont think that they would diagnose the president you know without ever even talking to him in most cases or having a chance to speak with him clinically and so it really is it really does say a lot more honestly about their own obsession with overturning an American Election i mean thats what this really comes down to they really just want to make this whole thing go away theyre not happy with the election result so theyll try everything they can to negate it and it says a lot more about their mental steadiness if you will than it does his if you look at the fact that he has functioned so amazingly well even despite all of the constant barrage of hate coming at him from the media and from the establishment and even some. Fied says that he is a pretty mentally fit guy to be able to withstand all that and to be so productive you know kevin i was looking at some of the exit observe michael wolfs book i dont want to pay for it we can you explain it on online for free. They did more good there and i looked through some of the excerpts there and you know this is just trash ok i cant believe the lot of the things that hes writing theres no cooperation there the reason why i mention it and you know who cares about the National Enquirer ok but again its polled on to the networks and they and the cable stations confirming their prejudice their blind hatred and it hurts the country it hurts journalism and i think gina just brought up a really good point i mean ive never seen anyone take so much pressure you know day in and day out and hes still going on i mean i find that actually quite remarkable not but im not saying i agree with everything he says or tweets i mean exasperated by a lot by a lot of its like a lot of other people go ahead kevin. Yeah couple things i think we have to again take a little Historical Perspective here of Partisan Press of the eighteen hundreds which is you know. Vice of in ways that are very reminiscent of what were seeing today so again i dont think that it helps to suggest that this is somehow an anomaly i think this has historical precedent particularly when you have a very Partisan Press whether it was back in the days of Abraham Lincoln or in contemporary america as far as taking that pressure quite well i think that is definitely debatable ok it strikes me and im not alone on this right it strikes me that there are many instances where he seems. Particularly. You know rattled by any sort of criticism and tweets storms are you know frankly embarrassing and so you have the president ited states lashing out at critics in ways that. Undermines the legitimacy of the presidency now im not a psychologist so im not going to i dont know if you have sure at all i dont think thats true at all. Well again here we need to isolate you you may not like go ahead jump if youve ever had weve never had a. I think charles anyway the thats ok look the fact of the matter is this president took the press to task from day one he told it like it is he was the only person who could beat Hillary Clinton because he was the only person who would stand up there and scold the press and scold us or tractors and call them out for what they are thats what the people who voted for and love about him the fact that he tweets out these things theres nothing wrong with that it doesnt diminish the presidency its who we is hes not a politician and people have to get used to that they never will and thats too darn bad hes going to i always wish and youre right i absolutely agree with that and thats that i think is part of the problem i mean he is in many ways a tabloid creature yet but it sure but at the same time its ok lead to ok now we have to be back now we have just a creature. That we have yes thats true now we have symmetry because hes an anomalous president and i would say we have an Anomalous Media gina jump in you know all of these mistakes all of these a bad reporting that weve seen and never never a back story or a you know split nation you know the last one with don jr and the emails you know the dates were wrong c. N. N. Did receive the a. B. C. They were good they were very good and they were and they held accountable for ok so so if i can just jump in here gene are going to journal this. This is a president who has decreased black unemployment to an all time low this is the president who has black housing more black families have houses than ever before certainly during the Obama Presidency who was supposed to be the socalled black president because he likes to chop people up and divide of that way this president is the president of all people he said he wants all people to be as rich as him and yet where is the heralding of that in the media he is that these declare january Human Trafficking month is slavery not an issue we can all agree on where is that. The media i mean you can see the bias written all over them and for anyone who wants to argue that his tweets are somehow not president ial thats how he communicates his message because he has no other way since the press wont do it and we know that hes the counter puncher and you know what americans laid out here we are so tired of having a president that you know their hand up for us to the rest of the world and put America First this is not only this is not only not diminishing the presidency this is the president Going Forward steve do you want to jump in there before we go to the break peter that they. Just theyre putting this vote wolf character out there who admits half my book is inaccurate when people like ed klein and conservative authors cant buy a ticket to any of the shows when they write a book critical of hillary or obama their ignore their mocked as as you know jokes and inaccurate but but this well guy hes all over the place the double standard is just horrific ok kevin you know i think we all saw the segment with Steven Miller and jake jake tapper on c. N. N. I mean you know we have Steven Miller hes invited on his program to talk about talk about what it was going on in camp david with the g. O. P. Officials the weekend before he was asked to come on and talk policy i watched the tape jake tapper did not want to talk about policy geno does jeana just mention facts ok where is c. N. N. When talking about facts that was an ambush he was very rude jake tapper was very unprofessional go ahead thats the bias that im talking about. Well again i think its i think what youre seeing is a lot of corporate channels are chasing this story particularly the russia gate story you know whether or not thats a legitimate investigation not that remains to be seen what we need to keep in mind is that there are some substantive questions about this presidency. I think in terms of his twitter feed alone i think it would be. Corporate media to ignore that for a time in fact id like to see twitter suspend his account because hes breaking user agreement oh my god yes but lets get back to the lets go back here to me i think. Were were all chasing this same ok no wow could have a conversation but we were all chasing this saying yes its scandalous i asked for a conversation right now lets tone it down a little bit because im worried what one size are you can use the same even talking to people is do you want to do ricky out in life are you directing that to the president the United States or the liberal media you want to censor the hat in your are going to go along the shore and break and after that short break well continue our discussion on the media stay with our team. In two thousand and sixteen the Panama Papers show the world with the tax haven the secret reeling and United States dollars passed through most. In the amount of time that with my papers exposure thats what it shows of money it really is. Journalism its an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. Millions of most fonseca dont. They all the people we basically have tried to get and ive done the job of this sort of. Newspaper. And probably other politician which was. Other politicians their targets such as the kings of morocco and Saudia Arabia the president of argentina several Prime Ministers and russian president. Vladimir putin of course. Oh my god ive had so many strike and there were no war merits of serbia coverage. Join me every thursday a little excited. About your sudden passing ive only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. Youre out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you im sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. I remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. But then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didnt like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. Child claimed that Mainstream Media has met its maker. Welcome back to cross like were all Things Considered im Peter Letterman you were discussing trump and the media. Ok let me go back to West Palm Beach where its probably the warmest on this program gina you know i consider myself a midwesterner i grew up in my childhood in colorado so i know that the heartland you know and you know we can talk about all of the intricacies of the campaign who did it who did it did it right who did it wrong how much money was paid but you know it was really the deplorable statement and i think that really brought home to the voters you know who they are the voters in this in the country and where they stand in the eyes of the media because i still contend that the media elected donald trump because they took they have contempt for the public the media has absolute contempt for the public and donald trump stood up for them i mean again im not going to carry w
