attended my radio show christmas party and we shared drinks and talked and laughed. good to see you, sir. >> you, too. >> sean: so much news was made in that interview. >> indeed. >> sean: you. ed news coverage. let's start there. your reaction? what does it say to the american consumer about the news industry in general in this country? >> i think when you take a look at the white house correspondents dinner and the conduct of the people there and when you look at the absence of coverage, something so major asa your show last night, it is pretty clear, sean, you are right. american journalism is dead. it's dying. it's in a coffin. the fact is these people are not journalists anymore, they are people with an agenda, they want to prove something, they don't want to find something out, they want to say something on their own. thisr is an example. it's really a sad day, sad, sad day. >> sean: joe, we've had massive surveillance abuse, unmasking abuse.
