And saying that's the problem. people kind of jump in on a particular story just because it is salacious and because it is oh my god i can't believe she says that. where is the root story here? >> we focus on things that don't matter to the american public. we have an president in the office who gave lies systemically and his campaign slogan was to build the wall. he gets mexico to pay the wall and that has not happened. he clearly lies and the media tries to hold him accountable. they're willing to ignore the fact that he lied to them on so many issues. are we making a mistake that we try to ...
