i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. julian assange and, of course, the media and punching back on twitter, let s get back to my interview with sean spicer, i spoke to him from trump tower. sean spicer, welcome. thank you, howie. donald trump tweeted, i m asking the chairs of the house and senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with nbc prior to me seeing it. i can understand his concern, but does that signal as president he will be ordering leak investigations to find out reporter sources? well, it s not the reporter sources, it s trying to figure out where it came from. there s a big difference between reportest doing their job and sourcing thicks and people in the government improperly giving classified information to people or potentially doing that. i think there s a big difference whether you re targeting the source or recipient. right. trump s twitter feed paralyzes and some seem say, hey, we shouldn t cover tweets which is ridiculous ....
Know, the question is how many more times is that going to happen over the next few years. it was a little opening power struggle. howie: the house was also flooded with angry calls from constituents and that always gets the attention of members of congress. this happened on the morning where the big front page stories and new york times and washington post that basically said, this is the first thick you guys are going to do in the trump era? okay, there are negative headlines about house republicans all of the time. why does anybody think that this time negative headlines forced the republicans to reverse course. howie: very little effect? i think it s more the calls in trump s tweets. of course, when donald trump has has the ability to separate himself from house republicans who are not popular, still, he s going to do it. he is going to show independents. there maybe arguments both democrats and republicans hate the independent office but one ....
Skepticism, essentially accepted the findings of this report. is he going too far of that charge of lying? i think he is. i think this would be unpopular but the media doesn t always lie. what sean spicer said that the media would include some and exclude others. you re saying there s bias, there s tilting, out of context but you don t think it s intentionally lying? no. trump told the new york times that all amounts to a political witch hunt. what the press sees unusual skeptical what i mentioned to spicer, incoming president at odds with the u.s. intel agencies over russia, he says as detractors using the hacking issue to ill light miez victory? i think he would be right. ....
That he stated in an interview with sean hannity. right, trump accused the media of peddling lies in painting him, he says you re very good at this. do you think the media lie and are intentionally dishonest? i think some reporters clearly have a bias. and choose to look at only part of the story. there s no question about it. i ve been doing this for a long time. thank you for the complement but i also believe that some reporters have chosen to look at the model of reporting which is ignore some facts before more will be sensational and will generate more retweets and clicks and i think that s dishonest. a job of a good reporter should be that you put all the facts out there, report the entire story in context and for some reporters they would rather overlook certain facts because the story wouldn t be as glamorous and sensational. ....
Now fox doesn t have a skeptic, fair on unfair? voters want deep skepticism taped on washington specially but on all concentration of power. there s not enough about that at all. at all. our team and their team, it s very partisan but i think there s a lot of sucking up to power. now more than ever. howie: you said trump wasn t your first choice for president and you weren t sure if he wanted the job. when you launch the choice, you want to hold people accountable and people tend to lie and does that apply to the new president and the new administration? of course, it does. it will apply to anybody who is taking my money and power over me. of course. despite his flaws as a man, he was saying things that no one ....
