It s been out there in the news and people have been discussing whether this was a setup or not, whether the president was intentionally calling upon a reporter who would have a favorable question to him. we spent three or four minutes before that discussing other issues that were probably that are more important than the last question i asked and brian defended the reporter. wasn t this back to my original question, wasn t this shouldn t the president be there on foreign soil defending the united states, defending a free press instead of taking something that is local here to the united states and bringing it across the shore to foreign soil and having all of our allies and our enemies being able to see what kind of controversy we re having here? shouldn t he be defending america and the press? well, he did defend the press, but i also don t think anyone in the world doesn t know that the president has an adversarial relationship with the press. i think one of the things about ....
