Analysis of Media Coverage of news stories. Ive said that to Sarah Huckabee sanders. Ill continue saying that. The war started when steve bannon at cpac said the press was an Opposition Party and the enemy. Its wrong. I support the president. You dont have to be on side on every single issue. I dont believe in litmus tests. I think hes done a very, very good job. His speech away from the rhetoric about the press was very good last night. What about the idea that no one that people are telling him to drop this rhetoric and hes not listening. Is this why you wasnt in the job longer . He dupoesnt want to hear this advice . I made a mistake and got fired by john kelly for that mistake. I bear the accountability for that. Im telling you that the most loyal people, your most loyal employee, your most loyal staff are offering you constructive advice and telling you balls and strikes the way they see them as
opposed to just acting. I would encourage people in the west wing if they think differently than the president they should speak out. Speak out in a constructive way. Theres no be ridiculously critical or biting. On this topic, the president s got great judgment. Hes ban great marketing person his whole life. Hes a great communicator. I think hes wrong on this topic. I think hes been right on the economy. Hes been right on north korea. I think about whats about to happen in iran will be a result of his doing. I dont think this war with the media is something thats going to help him long term. Joe, what about you . When i say its hate movement, do you think thats fair depipgs depiction of Whats Going On . He trump is trying to pit the media against the public. I think the media makes a mistake when they make it about
just themselves. What it is is a hate movement and war on our democracy. The media is an essential part of that. Keeping the president honest through the work the Press Secretary does and the president. The president and his people are pursuing a deliberate strategy. They are trying to confuse and undermine all the Information Sources except for the most conservative. They want to keep their base happy so they throw out the raw meat to fox news and others. Then they want to get Everyone Else confused. You see this most explicitly in how he talks about the mueller investigation. Calling it a witch hunt despite all the indictments that have gone in. Desti despite all the work thats been done. Hes trying to make people get so frustrated so say i dont believe anyone. Its a political strategy. Its dangerous strategy and its a war on our democracy. Anthony, a war on our
democracy . Well, i wouldnt go as far as mr. Lockhart is saying. He means about himself specifically. I think he does recognize that there could have been some foul play on the periphery. A lot of indictments came down were not directly related to him. Thats what he feels he can say that. He says rigged witch hunt. I got that. I think rigged witch hunt sets peoples hair on fire. Those of us that have hair. What i would say to you is he is upset about the media bias. He has a right to be upset about the media bias but tactically and strategically the rhetoric hes using is very, very bad for the country. Long term that amendment was first for a reason. We have to uphold that amendment. We have to uphold the sacredness of that amendment. People can disagree with me inside the white house. The president can disagree with me. Friends are allowed to disagree. I think that people that like him should look him straight in the face and tell him the truth about this if they feel as strongly about it as i do. It makes me wonder, you say hes upset with the media. Makes me upset if bill clinton had twitter, what he would have said about the media. Joe, do you have any guests . I think its a fair question. Theres a fundamental difference between first off, every president thinks the media is biassed against them. They think the media is too touch on them. They dont understand they dont cover the positive news. Full stop. Look at the difference between the 1990s and now. Bill clinton pursued a political strategy of saying this is all going on over here, but im not
going to talk about it publicly because you elected me to work for you. Im not a victim. Even though at times he felt like a victim but in public he didnt do it. Donald trump cant go 20 minutes without pouring out a selfpity stream of tweets about how people are out to get him. Theres the deep state. Theres mueller. Theres the democrats. Theres lebron james. You pick. Any one that you can come up with. Thats fundamentally different. Even if we had twitter back then, i think president clinton rose with the public because he was able to put people first and look past what he thought was a politically motivated investigation and trump is pursuing the attack opposite strategy. I think its failing. Thats why you see this flailing around. Anthony, joe, please stick around if you can. Some Breaking News before we go to break about the future of cbs.

Get published now, call for your free publisher kit today sometimes the simplest questions are the best answers. Ivanka trump was asked about her fathers enemy talk. Do you think were enemy of the people . Sorry. Do you think were enemy of the people . No, i do not. Later in the day, Sarah Sanders was asked the same question but she punted and attacked the press instead. Its official white house policy that press is the enemy of the people. Its pretty outroageous. Sanders attempted to smear the media that journalist reveal bin ladens location or made it harder to find him. We fully support a free press but theres a high level of speedometer wi responsibility with that. The media puts lives in danger and risk Value National security tools. One was the reporting to listen to Osama Bin Laden satellite phone. He stop losing the phone and the country lost valuable intelligence. He said reporters made it harder to track down bin laden before 9 11. Is that true . Of course its not true. It was debunked more than a decade ago. Sarah sanders has yet to apologize for her screw up. I dont know what to say anymore, everybody. Back with me now is anthony s r
scaramucci and joe lockhart. Joe, is this how it works . Someone hapdnds you a piece of paper and do you lie to the public . This has never happened before. Weve had great president s. Weve had terrible president s. Republicans and democrats. Weve never had anything like this where a president , we have a president who is incapable of telling the truth. The Washington Post averages Something Like seven and a half to eight lies day. The job of the Press Secretary even with an honest president is very, very hard. Youre balancing the interests of the president s political fortunes and the government with the press and the publics right know things. It is hard. I think with both sean spicer and Sarah Sanders they have crossed the line here where they now, the facts dont matter and they reflect the boss. If the boss lies then i can lie. Thats just a terrible place to be for the country. It has consequences. The consequences of it, white house podium used to be place that around the world you could take it to the bank. This is our policy. This is what were doing. Right now, no one knows what the truth is and they could say the sun will come up in the east tomorrow and there would be bas speculation its not going to. The lies just get told. For Sarah Sanders, shes now gone beyond the point of being in a tough situation with a hard boss. Shes now Aiding And Abetting the process. The process is designed to undermine the Public Confidence in the one tool they have to keep the government accountable. You said she is cowardly. You really believe that . Yeah. I think the brave thing to do would be to up there in that moment, in that moment to say,
you know what. The president misspoke. The president sometimes uses hyberbole. The president is frustrated. The press is not the enemy of the people. Whats your reaction to what joe is saying . Well, were going to have to disagree on her personally and what her character is and what her principles are. I think shes very different from sean spicer. Literally like night and day. Shes trying her hardest to tell the truth to the american people. Is she trying hard . When she got up there and lied about bin laden, she never corrected it. I think joe knows more than the three of us how difficult the job is and how difficult it is that you have to protect the principal and balance the situation but also respect the free and fair press. Sarah is representing the
president there. Ivanka is speaking giving her own opinion. I think that the president Still Believes and still says thing like the enemy is the press of the people. Its very tough for sarah to be up there as the president s avatar and answer that question. Maybe she doesnt think that the press is the enemy of the people but shes representing the president of the united states. What i would like to see happen is the president walk that back. Hes got an unbelievable economy. Great growth, great wages. If you look at minority unemployment at historical lows, he should be in the mid50s as it relates to his Approval Rating but he needs to change come some of the conat the present time content and style of communication. If he doesnt do there, i think theres a head wind where people are saying hold on a second. The First Amendment is there for a reason. This is damage well live with a long time. I did notice you took lebron james side in this tiff between trump and james. Is that an example of him needing to change his Communication Style . Yeah. I dont agree with what the president is saying about lebron james. I tweeted about it two or three weeks ago before he said the stuff about don lemon and lebron james last night. I disagree. That doesnt mean i cant be on his team. If he dupoesnt want me on his team because i disagree. I think the first lady is in the same camp as me. Lebron james is a Great American success story. Lebron james is a guy, frankly, that has been a role model to so many people. Not just people in the Africanamerican Community but
all of america. Hes an inclusive guy. If he disagrees with the president and says a few things here and there, the president s very combative guy. Hes hitting him back. I would tell the president knock it off. Thats why a lock t of peopl think lebron james, don lemon and later in the day he attacks ma Maxine Waters again. A lot of people see racism. He calls everybody stupid. Black, white, green, yellow and red. The guy is not racist. He called three black people stupid this weekend. I didnt see him call any green or red people. Hes called a whole host of people stupid. I think its inappropriate. Its definitely not racist. I know the guy personally. I see how he interacts. Hes far from racist. He picks on everybody universally. Whats at stake here is a guy like lebron james. If someone is hitting you a bit, let it go. If you look at the dashboard of success that america is having now both domestically and internationally. He says the polls are fake. He says i think theres a deeper problem than what youre describing. He told me last night at a rally where he said the polls are fake. Thats what he said. You talk about Approval Ratings. Okay. Listen. He may think the polls are fake. Im a trained economist. I understand statistics pretty well. Lets take a sampling of 50 of the polls. They are roughly right. Lets get him on track communication wise. Stay away from attacking lebron james and don lemon. I think its a bad move. Anthony might be good for don for his ratings. I dont know. For another conversation. Anthony and joe thank you for being here. Thanks. Coming up, what this outlandish Conspiracy Theory is really all about. I have a theory. Ill tell you right after the break. In the u. S. Its americas most popular street name. But Allstate Agents know thats where the similarity stops. If youre on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the Washoe Zephyr could damage your siding. And thats very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. But no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local Allstate Agents knows yours. Now that you know the truth, are you in good hands . When you finance with gm financial.

His story is more fiction than fact. Thats the thing about a novel or a drama. Its not really meant to be fact checked. Its there to make you feel
something. As much as i promote Fact Checking and accountability journalism, we should look at this through the prism of story telling. Its us versus them. Its dark versus light. His supporters get it. Watch. Trump is a story teller. Hes an entertainer. He should tell the truth but he tells stories and sometimes his stories stretch things. Many of trumps lies are awful but they are in service of this story hes telling. If you can look past the lies for a momentum, y, you can see fans love the stories. Look another the faces at the rallies. Trump says hes putting america first. Fixing the economy and fighting the dark forces trying to stop him. In other words, hes the hero. Battling against dems in the date state and never trumpers. Whether you love trump or hate
him, you have to recognize the Pow Er Of Story and recognize te powers that boost that story. Picture his protrump media world has his coproducers. Its as if his fai Rvorite Hostn fox news are hard at work in the writing room developing the plot. Trump promotes them to millions of people. The guys that we love, right, theyre blowing them away in the ratings. Hannity, tucker carlson. Were blowing them away. Thats good. Those are the people that love us. We. He says we. He tells people to read specific books that back up the story hes telling. He gives people ways to participate. Thats a really important part of this. I think its kind of what this q thing is all about. The crazy qanon theory. Got a lot of media attention. People have showed up with q signs at all three of trumps rallies. The theory is trump is secretly saving the world and stopping pedophiles, i think. What youll find on these Message Boards is dont believe the media cover Aage Of Trump EastEasterab East easterabs terrible mistakes. Its a
