Kristin fisher zero Foreign Policy news. Fox news media analyzed howard kurtz chronicling a new addition to the New York Times and her vulgar, racist weeds from the past. We begin with Jonathan Hunt on the growing tensions between the Mainstream Media and the Trump Administration. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening, shannon. Fake news fight seems to be splitting the president s family tonight. They are disagreeing on the issue. There might be awkward moments of the drum thanksgiving table. If anyone brings up the First Amendment, ivanka trump distinctly uncomfortable when asked at the end of a public forum today she considers reporters in the room to be, as her father has described many in the media, the enemy of the people. She simply said no before being asked to elaborate. I have some sensitivity around why people have concerns and gripe, especially when they are if you are targeted. But now, i do not feel that the media is the enemy of the peopl
people. That brought a swift tweet from her father, saying, they asked my daughter ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the fake news, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people. President trump has defined the Fake News Media to include the New York Times, nbc news, abc, cbs, and cnn. For whom he and his supporters appeared to have a particular aversion. [chanting cnn sucks. They have made cnns White House Reporter jim acosta a focus of this fight, and today, he repeatedly challenged White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders to declare from the podium that the press is not the enemy of the
people. Speak of his own daughter acknowledges that. All im asking you to do, sara, is to acknowledge that right now and right here. I appreciate your passion. I share it. Ive addressed this question, ive addressed my personal feelings. Im here to speak on behalf of the president , hes made his comments clear. We should point out, shannon, the First Amendment of our constitution enshrines the Freedom Of The Press emma provided, according to the supreme court, reporting is not intended to defame and does not show a reckless disregard for the truth. With that same First Amendment also enshrines the right of anyone to say any Media Organization sucks. Shannon . Shannon so what does. Jonathan hunt, good point. Thank you very much. Tonight, the New York Times is standing by by a new addition despite her numerous racist tweets from the past. Fox news media analyst, host of media buzz, howard kurtz, on my some offensive tweets are
okay and others are not. The latest tire for the New York TimesEditorial Board comes with impressive credentials. Harvard law grad, articles and the atlantic, Washington Post, the times magazine. But sarah jeong comes with the baggage of inflammatory and racist twitter posts which are least my fears backlash. She tweeted between 2013 and 2015 that white men are goblins and b. S. Blinking light people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs, on fire hydrants. Oh, man, its kind of sick how much joy i get out of being cruel to old white men. I dare you to get on wikipedia and playthings white people can definitely take credit for. Its really hard. The times he said that her journalism and the fact that she is a young asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time, she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She sees now this approach only
A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. Punching bag because he likes the challenge of going back and forth. You were in the briefing today. How did it feel to you . It was interesting. I think with the problem here is, as we discussed, your issues with the president s comments, and obviously, the president is not going to disavow that position. What jim did as he put her in a situation where he was trying to get her to disavow her boss. His her job is to speak on behaf President Trump. President trump said that fake news is the enemy of the people. She is not going to stand at the podium and disavow that. It is more of a matter of, what are you looking for in that question . The point of the Press Briefing is to extract information on the policy of the United States government. I think she answered that pretty clearly. In terms of what he was going for, im not really sure. Shannon is it making the story about him . Knowing that shes not going to stand up there and break with the president. I dont know what his intentions are. All i know is that these turn into these protracted struggles
between reporters and others and shouting and that is exactly what becomes the story, where as we did not get very much information about what is going out today, which so many of a host of different matters, at the same time, people complain about the policy of this and that, and then when we get to the briefing room, we Start Talking about these squabbles. Shannon i want to look at something from the Media Research center. They looked at the first portion of this year and look over abc, cbs, nbc evening newscasts. Reporters and nonpartisan sources who were quoted. 10 of the comments about the president and his policies were positive. 90 were negative. Dave, it seems like this is a vicious cycle. The president feels attacked all the time by these networks. I feel for him. He is certainly not at all wellequipped to respond via twitter, shannon. Shannon he loves that way that is how he got milliams of people to vote for him is by going to twitter and talking to people directly and going around the media. The Washington Post has been following the president since day one. How many allegedly false statements or material misstatements of facts has he been making since the first day of his presidency . On average, 7. 6 claims a day by this president are factually incorrect. The president can take exception with coverage that may be negative in tone but he has an obligation to tell the truth. When hes not telling the truth, the president s responsibility is to call him out on that. For him to label things fake news very selectively and conveniently, opportunistically, by the way, in so doing, rally the Mob Mentality that we saw at that awful rally where people were screaming shannon we see that on both sides. Im not sure youve seen that kind of ugliness at a democratic rally. I will hold you to that one. I think it is very dangerous for the president to selectively label things fake news when in fact they are objective facts. Shannon i think that we need to treat members of the media with kindness and respect. Its a free country, you can see what you want to pray. Nobody threatened. I want to read this from dan rather. We can shrug off trumps attacks on the press ever. They are undemocratic. The invite even inside violence. This bears repeating. Last night, Cnns Jim Acosta based on a hostile crowd, support from scholars, competitors, the General Public is a must. Saagar, we had the Police Shootings and many other things that have happened. We have reached a new level of vitriol. What you make of dan rather lecturing you . More but i would say is why do we have so many reporters in the room if we are all supposed to ask the same question and take the same advice from these socalled media gods . The reason we have a free press is that so many of us can stand there and interpreted and look at it the way we would like to pray jim acosta decided to handle himself one way today. I decided to handle myself another. I asked the director of national to National Intelligence about russian interference. Shannon we will talk about that. Saagar and dave, thank you so much. It was supposed to be the main event at the White House Briefing today. Dream team representing nearly every major intelligence agency. They were all gathered there, National Security advisors, to answer questions about the
they outlined a strategy involving teamwork with private tech companies, intelligence sharings between federal and local officials, and ongoing operations. Most of which between cannot be discussed. Democrats said they should be doing more than they are overwhelmingly applied to the show of force and solidarity in the White House Briefing room. You have to have the president on board for an all government approach. It was great to hear the agencies. I was encouraged by what they said today. I how they had a good command of what we need to do. The question is, do they have the support from the president . President trump had a chance to put that question to rest once and for all at that rally tonight. He chose not to, shannon. Shannon Kristin Fisher wrapping it up for us tonight. Thank you very much. Tonight in pennsylvania, the president said russia is actually unhappy that he won the election, on the heels of the real warning from National Security officials on moscows influence campaign. The president s critics, though, see it is too little too late. It is remarkable that the
institutions are essentially moving around the leader. Their leader, to execute these policies. These are things that shouldve been done immediately after 2016. Shannon here to discuss, National Security attorney bradley moss and former cia analyst, nypd Intelligence Unit member, buck sexton. Good to have you with us. There was a lot of snark that came after this briefing today, where the left has been pushing the president to get serious about this. He floats out the team, they talk about her, and then one article said that they produced no new orders, no real information, essentially, they arent taking it seriously. Then we have a suite for mark warner, Raking Democrat on the senate intel committee. Glad to see the white house finally do something about Election Security even if its only a press conference. Now if only it was backed up by anything the president has said or done on russia. We find out they have offered briefing to Senate Democrats on whats happening with the election and it sounds like they havent taken it so far, bradley. Full disclosure, i was once
an burr senator warner, many years ago. The problem they have is that there is no one in charge. What we heard today in the briefing with these officials, dni, fbi director, individuals like that, great descriptions of what they are doing as an agency. That is great, we got caught flatfooted in 2016, they are doing better. Thats great. Who is running at . We had an ebola scare a few years ago, we brought someone into compile, compile the data, be the person in charge. You do this, you handle this part. He was running at . Shannon it seems like a lot of it is coming from department of homeland security. We heard from Secretary Nielsen, we got to look at this letter from former ambassador john bolton, National Security advisor. He outlined everything. Its online. He talks about all the things they are doing. Cyber Security Experts have conducted vulnerability assessments, provided expertise, natural protection, incident response, facilitated training
exercise. They are corrupting them every way they can. They have ready themselves to provide Rapid Response to potential Cyber Security incidents and again, he mentions, buck, we are happy to brief them are sensitive classified nature of this to Senate Democrats. We are waiting. Theres took a very important components of this problem. One is Cyber Hacking and intrusions. You can have these publicprivate partnerships, all of these things that are trying to do things to make sure there arent actually russian attempts to get into the servers or get into election voting machines. Even when there they are air gap, you can intrude on them. Then there is a propaganda aspect, which goes to their sock puppets on facebook and twitter, trying to spread fake news or false information. These are not problems that you will ever eliminate. This reminds me in many ways of the Terrorism Discussion because you are trying to mitigate risks and were working in a vast federal bureaucracy with lots of pieces, not always nimble pieces by the way, as someone who used to work for one of them, that are trying to do their best. Everyone needs to understand
that there is no universe in which there is no propaganda on the internet from Foreign Countries trying to intrude on us, there are no efforts by the way, pretty lowtech, Unskilled Hacking efforts, things like phishing, that rely on social engineering. It doesnt matter what dhs is doing. You could have the dni sitting next to you. If you give someone your password and you dont realize that there are things into relics, you got a problem. Shannon weve heard from dhs Secretary Nielsen about the dash the way she estimates the Cyber Attacks versus the physicl attack from a foreign country. Heres what she said, just a couple of days ago. The threat has changed a lot. I worry a lot about cyber. I think the Cyber Attacks are much bigger than the physical attack service. It affects all of us, from a mom in the Kitchen Teaching her kids through a computer to a very advanced financial system. Shannon what you think about . Is clear there is a massive problem. Like buck was saying, there is an aspect that will never go away. Social media disinformation will always be there. There has to be some measure of leadership, there has to be a true, consistent message. I think the one problem this administration has and what they are seeing in terms of how they are fighting back with the media narrative, you get these briefings, like you had today, which were great, gave with the public needed in terms of reassurance, but then three or four hours later, the president goes to a rally and he starts talking about how, oh, it is a russia hoax. Oh, Who Didnt Want to be my friend. Shannon thats different than cyber intrusion. The president will continue to say, i there is no evidence of that. The president was clear that there was no coordination between his campaign, the president himself, and these russian actors that we have seen in the past. But i think that you have to look at the broader context and that is that the democrats that are complaining right now, you saw mark warners to eat, and others, it seems like the president is damned if he does, damned if he doesnt. Doing everything in their power to tell the american people, we are on this, trying to make this election as clean and ask her to go as possible. You also have to member that in 2016, the Obama Administration decided not to do more, a lot of people looked at it it said it was a political calculation. Whether it was the right when a wrong one, but it was a political calculation, not a National Security one. They passed up that opportunity. Keep in mind, however the election goes, some people will be unhappy with the measures no matter what we do. To be when i think you are right. Buck and bradley, great at both of you in.
