After the white house defended the chief of staff john kelly for calling congresswoman wilson an empty barrel. the press secretary said quote if you are able to make a sacred act like honoring american heroes about yourself then you are an empty barrel so they are not backing down. at the same time, they also want to move on from this dispute. they want the public and the media to focus on other things, focus on more policy issues, like tax reform, but it's tough to do when the president himself is continuing to tweet about it and talk about it. fox's maria bartiromo asked him about it in an i...

But the thing that everybody remembers is what was reported. this happens on twitter all the time. so i think that has caused trust in the media to go down. you can look at the pew study that came out recently about americans' trust in the media, and frankly it worries me because we need a news media industry in this country that is trusted by people in both parties. and right now, a lot of republicans don't trust it, and frankly a lot of democrats as we heard from president carter don't trust it either. we need the media to be trusted because it's a critical part of what makes our democracy w...
