A new series on netflix and it raises a lot of relevant issues for this show well speak with one of the featured Defense Attorneys and the media uses a stroll down a ramp and a drink of water to quote unquote prove that donald trump is ill while his opponents multiple missteps and misspeaks the good go unreported im Steve Malzberg lets see the press. Oh yeah oh. Easy. To buy. Lets face it folks at least in my opinion right now not only does the media have no use for donald trump they dont have much use for the police either and that was never more evident than tuesday night on the network newscasts when they covered the story of Donald Trumps exact. You know border on Police Reform watch but the president spent most of his remarks defending Law Enforcement with pressure mounting to address Excessive Force by Police DepartmentsPresident Trump took the unusual step of surrounding himself with Police Officers today and the president used his speech today less as a conversation about racial bias in policing and more as a rally supporting officers still the president is strongly defending police and blasting calls to defund them as radical and dangerous thanks to the Media Research center for that montage so if you still dont get it review the media doesnt like donald trump hes more you know George Lincoln rockwell than Abraham Lincoln in his behavior George Lincoln rockwell was the founder of the American Nazi Party ok so they all like and they dont like the police either some of them if we can use diplomacy and deescalation with respect to the North Koreans who had nuclear arms why cant we teach Police Departments the use deescalation with respect to on arms got it so trumps a nazi and the police alike the north korean regime wonderful which brings us to the tragic shooting in atlanta of rashard brooks now the media is conflating that incident with what happened in minneapolis to george flawed and theyre simply not the same watch. I thought but not stop because theyre going to hold up with there are probably going to if the right is not relevant how does a. Resisting arrest fighting with the Police Officer stealing the taser firing the taser not like what happened to george. Florida was murdered in my opinion not like it at all but here is some typical media reaction you know i heard it since guy who was a good friend of mine and who i appreciate and im glad hes in the room for Police Reform and i heard he said that this one is not as clear and you know i just disagree with him i mean its another black man dead in the streets and so this is as clear as you can you can get it was murder period point blank period this was a glaring exception to the coverage george was in handcuffs he was on the ground he was under and officers need for almost 9 minutes in this case there was a potentially dangerous crime he was drunk driving and i guess what i see he was hired out and thats not fair that neil was asleep and car he ran and he realized that he didnt live there thats why i didnt say that taser he was trying to find that because every time i dont find that lee guy Allison Camerata is exactly right there are many differences between the cases of george floyd and ray shart brooks and kudos to her for breaking with the media narrative on this as for angela rye she should be not only ashamed of herself she needs to be taken to task and thats what i think im doing right here to advocate attacking Police Fighting with police running from Police Stealing their weapons and claiming that if you dont youll die no she has to know the opposite is true if you do all that you have a chance of winding up dead shame on angela rye what she said is irresponsible and dangerous and again she needs to be called out and we just did that. Were these 2 tweets herself from the president and one may 1st one may 29th the may 20 may 1st one where he says the governor of michigan should give a little and put out the fire these are very good people but they are angry the 29th one of course dealing with black folks these thugs artists honoring the memory of sorts floyd wont let that happen. Right thats m s n b c host kendra skips in implying that tweets from the president one referring to the peaceful protests in michigan from the people who want to open their their state in their cities and the other referring to the riots in minneapolis that the president s tweets were based on race and not actual circumstances on the ground well thats m s n b c and our next guest tried to get some answers from the head of contest which of course owns m s n b c n n b c Justin Dan Hall is general counsel and director of the Free Enterprise project at the National Center for Public PolicyResearch Welcome sir. Its my pleasure i want to give the folks a few more examples of whats been going on over to miss n. B. C. In their coverage of the protest of the riots watch to be clear in how i characterize the interest of the mostly the programs and i think it is not it is not generally speaking on really aspires to be started and so many good people out there who want change and who are demanding change discount people who are doing things to public property that said hey you should be doing. All right so tell us talk about what what weve been seeing there. So you know allie bell she has been running you know the nighttime coverage live from the ground to be out with us and you showed those infamous clear him you know as remember her and see settling in front of the camera right. But the whole network really for you know just saw and has just been giving cover to looters rioters arsonists those that are desecrated ing places of worship historian landmarks they really have just been given coverage of this and its its worse than that and that resident rightly says yes yes he is involved and makes c. D. N. With protesters hes absolutely right on that but even at n. S. A. You see them pushing back on that 3rd giving cover to him and theyre going cover to an organization that is burning buildings to the ground and so as a shareholder of a car cass we went to the virtual Shareholder Meeting this year and i asked Brian Roberts some very specific questions i said and i dont read we have we have that and i want to get to that so describe in the new you know how you get your questions ask you youve got to Shareholder Meetings with disney and other companies but lets focus on the comcast one and you got to ask a question how do you get to ask a question. So you know Free Enterprise we engage with backward actors to try and change their behavior and so we have a portfolio of stock that was always because companies have to lose their shareholders and this is the the avenue that we use we invest in these companies to try and alter their behavior because so Many Companies are so bad in the culture wars youre the guy and when it comes to media these large conglomerates like 80 and 80 we invest in all because theyre biased and theyre big news really does a tremendous amount of harm to our body politic and our Public Discourse here in the states. Let me lets play for the folks the question that you submitted that was read to the chairman of and c. E. O. Of comcast ferreted. Evoluting sean the farm to the ground in minneapolis actually which were completed our socalled journalist and the sunday. d and then sunday c host alito should be disappointing potentially again to cool. Light on the air he exclaimed but better or much more call in minneapolis to my. Leadership for all. People are convinced just the talking heads that m. S. N. B. C. I love that id love to have seen the expression on his face but here is roberts answer. The news coverage. Or risk of personal harm and injury and some cases loss of life or journalists continues to be one of the. Most important parts of n. B. C. News and for that matter comcast n. B. C. Universal. And so by and large i think the coverage continues to inform and educate our society and. That specific clip i have not seen. But thank you for your comments and we will continue to strive to inform the american public. Not a very good answer but youve got an answer and thats what you do and then kudos to you weve got a less than a minute but go ahead. Think so the england nation for folks when companies are bad actors whether its the media or whether its nice you know written down a bit you rush you to disengage from that company but that is the wrong approach when you see a backward actor and there are so many in the culturally important america that are actors each with them should get in their face and get the answers roberts cant even defend his own company because these people will never be asked tough questions but as an investor you have a right to question these corporations and thats what i recommended folks you come to a National Standard or reach out to me i can teach you all how to do it its the law and you get to deal with some of the most powerful companies in the world and actually affect you a change now that i love and you can call. Your guy finish up National Center dot org and quickly. Were on twitter at National Center and i want to just reach out. All right great to talk to you sir keep up the good work. Well lou thanks to a. Trial by media what does that mean exactly well its a new documentary series on netflix and it explore some high profile cases and it shows how the Defense Attorneys actually have maybe both sides trying to use the media to influence their cases we will have one attorney from one of those featured cases coming up to join us to explain how all this works thats coming up next right here on eat the press. You cannot be both with me yet you want. Nuclear power so become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on wheres the power in this country wheres it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r. T. Odd no 2 no crow. No shots no. Action well to be. Struck over those 3. Points your thirst for action. Trial by media sounds interesting. Its right into the show doesnt it well its a new series on netflix and argues the tosh a swede is here with more just one kind of influence does the media have while that issue may be up for debate netflix has released a new documentary looking at just what kind of impact Media Attention had on some high profile cases got to come up with ways to become part of the news cycle trial by media is one of netflixs latest releases when looking at the influence the media had on high profile cases the documentary takes a look into how the attorneys suspects and defendants all tried to manipulate the media to sway the jury before the trial even began the series gives horrific examples of how turned a court case into a primetime special had irreversible damage in the episode big dance the trial was on live t. V. And the identity of the rape victim was accidentally blasted all over the news this lead to other victims across the country no longer want to come forward for fear of exposed another case revealed how the media idolized an unknown shooter a fourteens he claimed were trying to mug him the newspapers called him a hero the subway vigilante and when he finally came forward the city of new york became torn by the Media Coverage trying to decide if the new york vigilante was a man who was sticking up for himself or were driven by racial bias the docu series also shows where the media went wrong in failing to humanize their story when a young immigrant is shot by police while standing in his own doorway the only headlines published would focus on the 41. 00 shots police fired leading to his death but the media had no interest in who he actually was the protests rage for the entire trial all 4 Police Officers were eventually found not guilty and a democratic governor was punished for trying to use the media to his advantage before his trial when he was accused of trying to sell Barack Obamas senate seat even though the evidence was. Inconclusive at best the judge try to make an example out of him for trying to run a platform of corruption and then flirting with the line of backdoor politics however his run with the limelight is eventually what saved him Rod Blagojevich actually appeared on season 3 of Celebrity Apprentice with donald trump before his trial the now president commuted his 14 Year Prison Sentence just months ago the documentary also shows the evolution of americas obsession with court t. V. Well it did die down for several years after the height of the o. J. Simpson trial there was a reemergence of court t. V. Just last year and of course all of these crime documentaries the parian on streaming services to show what an interest it still has reporting for the press the process waits r. T. Ok one of the cases not mentioned by natasha in her piece which aired last month is titled king richard and its the 2005 case involving Richard Scrushy and joining us to discuss the case and the strategy when it came to attempting to possibly manipulate the media to the advantage of his client is defense attorney jim parkman jim welcome sir welcome back you so much for having me on this is great its about its my pleasure give give the folks the elevator version of of the case that you defended for mr. Yes mr crow she was the founder and c. E. O. Of a National Corporate sure known as Health South Corporation which was a rehabilitation inpatient Outpatient Service and it was known in all the 50 states that they had it all there but he got indicted. Own the 1st Sarbanes Oxley charges well its 36. 00 counts of fraud involving a 3600000 dollars 1000000000 dollar for all with the corporation and then we went to trial and so it was the 1st and last. Names oxley case that they are they didnt charge any others after that. Right and i think he was acquitted but then charged with Something Else and eventually went to jail hes out of jail the whole thing ok now one member of one quote that you know from the episode is when you say in your Opening Statement to the jury something my grandma used to tell me that a pancake has 2 sides so theres 2 sides every sorry you then it needed to be the the person a doing the netflix interview with you that thats thats made up that you know your grandmother never told you that but she could have told you at any well oms about using that. You. Know who is a matter of fact i have been using that d for 40 years and they told me on the show of course to be honest they asked me the question and. I have to admit i thought about lying but i went ahead and made it that d i had made that up and that my grandmother had never said that but youre right she could i am. Right so let me ask you because this is at the to me a common sense question that anybody watching us now would would probably say were supposed to have a jury system where when the jurors a selected they say that they dont know anything about the case or that havent been influenced and then while theyre jurors whether theyre sequestered or not theyre not supposed to watch the Media Coverage of the case or read or hear anything about it so how does influencing the media spin if you will how does that or does it affect the jury in any way do you believe i think it does but i think it falls into 2 categories i think the 1st category is trying to get across your message trying to get across a Good Relationship with the public before 2 juries theyve been selected been you come into the trial itself so with that i think you got to spend certain things that happened during the trial that day which you cant talk about because its Public Record and i think you have to come out with the media and try to let people know that in reality thanks rick or pretty good for and that you know were having a good day here and if you keep that up and keep that up hopefully you know people will start getting the idea that they maybe things really are going pretty good for you despite the fact that d going into the trial the odds were not very good for us of even winning that case. So lets lets take this to of course the focal point of everybody right now and thats the 4 Police Officers involved in the death of course that the tragic death of george floyd the murder the murder of george floyd. How hard is this going to be i mean obviously Public Opinion is and Media Coverage
