Dont know trump has divided the well america is in a state of emergency and im right in the middle thats. The see the deliberate. Shift but in last year ive been reporting from the white house on the president who says that he said more with the media i think. You are fake it is fake look at all the fake news back there thats the most just honest discuss thing to speckle thing the president has ever said. Lies insults attacks or does all this aggression and mistrust come from. You and all the Mainstream Media are part of the Opposition Party oh. I dont lie but old this is not part of my life you are purposely. Putting out information that you know to be false i am only against the Fake News Media or press fake fake oh. I i. Right now i want my way to the white house president obama said on twitter that he would hold a Big Press Conference today finally weve been waiting for this for months. This doesnt look good though the journalists are kept far away from the podium what the president will speak. Highly to find out that the president s advisers had apparently urged him not to hold this press conference because reporters my true in the mood with probing questions the president is here to celebrate his new tax reforms that we broke every record its the largest i always say the most massive but its the largest tax cut in the history of our country and reform but tax cuts. Really something special. We are making America Great again you have to wonder whether average in the list are equally concerns about the lack of president ial press conference. This morning he tweeted that there would be running he had a pool spray he talked about it right now it doesnt look like maybe something will happen you never know this president. He does have my good friend something that even you know one thing time during this present tense you know like you said. There is a time in the summer president time said the its my to have a press conference and i cancelled my vacation for it. Didnt have time so. But you know thats the job and being here and covering the story is such an amazing experience its a dream job for any journalists who work in washington and that includes me but my first year here was more difficult than i had to match and. There is a huge amount of interest in this unpredictable president a president who loves to catch journalists of gaunt poorly for current or otherwise distracted. Gregory caught he works what a popular daily newspaper usa today. He certainly seems to have a strategy of using controversy to amplify his message he likes picking a battle with the press he likes sort of getting in there and throwing punches thats always been his personality back to when he you know was just that was a new York Real Estate mogul it was his personality one is the rabbit the Reality Television star and now its his personality as president and so yeah thats the sort of combative style that he has that is were all getting used to and you know actual people at the white house i mean we have three at usa today yes ok but thats three people and then this unfixable president can you keep up with them well if it means that we have to take shifts i mean that literally means that we have a reporter who is at work at five six oclock in the morning waiting for him to to tweet off of the morning shows we have reporters you know working late at night to keep track of it all so they get thats part of it is just the long days is one of the big differences are the obama was a lot more predictable that there was a rhythm to the news that he would release. During the Obama Administration when the white house said that the president had finished work for the day reporters could stand down and thats no longer the case now that the president s trump communicates via twitter around the clock using tweets to ridicule the press despite the fact that he craves positive Media Coverage relations between white house reporters and the president s press secretary seem tends to say at least. That afternoon. There are often heated exchanges during the press conference if a reporter makes a factual error or the administration sees it as evidence of a media conspiracy. Afternoon. Does make an honest mistake station own up to them sometimes and a lot of times you dont let those idiots on the theres a very big im sorry im not finished theres a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American People something that happens regularly you can say im not done you cannot say. Can i say that its an honest mistake when you are purposely putting out information that you know to be false. One reporter has made a name for himself by asking tough questions and follow ups brian kyra. So how do you feel when you are called fake names. I think thats the most annoying frustrating. Undermining duplicitous unnatural unfeeling an honest this honest discussed thing despicable thing a president has ever since. And there is no way that he should ever be given any countenance for that theres no way he there should be any equivocation about that were here to do a job hes here to do his job i hate equally i dont like democrats and i dont like republicans i dont like any of them if theyre in office then you should look at them skew or is h. L. Mencken once said the only way to look at a politician is down and thats if im guilty of anything its of that i believe that all of them are trying to sell me a soap and so for him to say fake news. That angers me to levels that are i previously didnt think i could get angry except with my own children. But not everyone agrees with that is something im going to do to alex five five is the White House Correspondent for the daily caller of a come seventy five website. Five has just twenty one years old he covered candidates trumps during the twenty sixteen election campaign. And took his Fake News Media attacks that seriously just trumped the really have to understand he lives cable news is where he gets his information isnt really books you know skim through the newspapers but he consumes cable news incessantly i mean a cable news host told me trouble call him after shows so hes hes an insecure guy you know hes the supermodel wife this be so im happy so the fake news flash thats just hes just angry at a show i dont hes not like this i want to people i think will unfairly compare him to an autocrat that he wants the room press freedoms one of the president is calling up reporters on the phone. The president s attacks on the media go down well with his Political Base im now in ohio to win the president ial election you need to win this state trump won ohio in twenty sixteen by promising to create new jobs here. Its the show online treat your friends. Well good afternoon walk on its very thin friends here on their way to k. And im going to be fourteen forty eight for Tracey Winbush is vice chair of the mohanan county Republican Party she host a political talk show on local radio and she believes in the dont want to trying to deflect any didnt act on us soil. And i said the reason why we call it fake news is because its not all news they will tell you both the left the right and then that you deserve for yourself whats funny and you have nobody but select what. You probably. Always a pleasure god bless you no more see you next time. After the show tracy enjoys relaxing in the cigar lounge shes direct open and charming and frankly i can understand why shes such a fan of the president. He and earn my respect because of what he wants to do and how he wants to get it done he hijacked a Political Party and became president with his own agenda so hes not republican hes not democrat hes just an american who use the system for his advancement to the presidency and you have to respect that. I mean i but we have to admit that he lives right he doesnt tell the truth you have to admit he has a he has his own thought process of his. But the question is do we all lie also. Tracy takes me along to a Republican Party fundraiser mohanan county. Sheriff. Three five. The latest polls indicate that the president Approval Rating nationwide is low but the people here tonight support him despite the fact that he hasnt made much progress on his legislative agenda. Finally for the first time a big world war times theres somebody in washington who is determined to change washington thats why people are excited they want to they want someone to go to washington who can grab that place and shake it because its become so bloated and so out of control our news media is. They want to destroy and its all over after a. B. C. N. B. C. C. B. S. All they want to do is destroy them and they dont want to give them a chance because no bunch of crybabies dont steal elections. But do the big u. S. T. V. Networks intentionally promotes negative coverage of donald trump is there anything to the president s claims of bias. Thank you both for being here and welcome to the way past very special place. I dont like a lot of what trump has done this president so should i double check to make sure that my reports are always. A lot of my colleagues are asking themselves the same question including margaret talev. Brothers i feel very proud to be a journalist in the White House Press corps but i do think that no president or political leader could be successful what creating this concern this own here is tapping into. Some element of public dissatisfaction or uncertainty about the reliability of the media and so i think that is a lesson for all of us to be. What are the american readers concerned about and how can we restore their faith in what were doing while keeping focused on the coverage of the administration which is so vital brian karam agrees its a good idea for journalists to take a reality check on their professions but he also believes that the actual problem right now is to president. In one thousand nine hundred kyron was jailed for refusing to reveal the names of his Confidential Sources he was laid to fired from his job for putting tough questions to president s george bush and karl rove has no intention of backing down no like. I mean shes starting to have said. This isnt right. Karen says that after that confrontation he received death threats. I had one guy who called me and said he was going to kill me and one of them said he was going to deport me and i said but i dont want to move back to kentucky and. There they will were going to kill us and youre not going to kill me im not worried about me and worry about some twenty four year old reporter first time doing his job working in montana or south dakota right now and another twenty four year old who sees the president goes yeah lets go get him and were going to go and get a reporter and theyre going to beat him or string him up or something or kill him thats the guy you worry about. But right now the stuff of the daily caller arent too concerned about told that they are celebrating the arrival of thing you call it. You know that youre. All excited for the conservative young White House Correspondent is highly ambitious. I think the ideal goal my dream always is the see the New York Times or the washing post or the a. P. Set say as first reported by the daily caller so i think id say you know you know destroy these. Mainstream media organizations by working harder posting more and im chasing stories they try find out that the python has gone to work put a Fox News Channel which strongly supports the president. Its clear to me that america is divided right now and so are the countries. Media. Thank you for having me back here. Im in the state of alabama to interview steve banner hes widely believed to have to develop the nationalist and populist strategy that helped donald trump win the election. Race yet. The phantom quit the trumpet ministration in august twenty seventh and his comments about donald trump in a new book are said to have angered the president in alabama i see hope ben and manipulates the audience and so suspicion and hatred against democrats the republican establishment and the media. I believe they are fake news. Wife right because thats the way it is you all lie. Why do i lie you tell me. You want to if you tell me that im lying that you should tell me where im lying right theres like a long long list like i dont want to go through all that i dont even know that. Im so disheartening what farnoosh today i dont even watch. And then you kind of know whether they did they do or of course the truth is when you dont watch them do i do. This on news from oh i differ sure sure without having to listen to. I dont get to for ensure but. I do have new shorters i just do not watch which should mean dont tell me you are what are you news sources to tell you id rather not oh. Yes yes no its no secret i just told how form my own beliefs on what our own brother get. And ill tell you. I do like fox news. Fox news and ben and snatch and most populist website breitbart against c. N. N. And the New York Times meanwhile bent on has left breitbart and when i met him he seemed to be enjoying this conflict has struck me as vain and selfabsorbed. The institution of the media is just another average cigarette in fact fake news is the least bad to call icon the Opposition Party why it was so thats actually not true information today is part of Political Warfare discussion we all can answer is that im not a politician that means youre not the political process you all the Mainstream Media are part of the Opposition Party you have an agenda you have a global suggest you try to ram down stories and try to ram down there are. Down down down the street and when you try to bother going on oh no i say from day one we are strongly partisan ok were strongly partisan but we say up front were parsonage organization ok. Meanwhile president strom continues to attack the media apparently as part of his efforts to draw attention away from the continuing kill us in his administration. And the Ongoing Investigation into allegations of russian meddling in the last election but some media seem to be profiting from the conflict the New York Times says that digital subscriptions have risen recently many journalists see the claims of fake news and seen you since but not a danger. I dont feel that in the in the environment we work in that there is any threat to freedom of the press on the contrary i think that the press has in some ways theres this is been a a renaissance for the freedom of the press because you know that newspapers have been hiring. There is theres a sense of weve been reminded why we have a free press in this country and also you know. The press doing its job you know this despite all these attacks the press seems to be right now in my world stronger than ever i do think that there is a challenge overseas and you see it in the fact that a lot of foreign leaders particularly authoritarian ones have begun seizing on the phrase fake news to basically suppress information in their own societies and you know its a well known fact that some of what President Trump says gets picked up by strong men overseas whether its rhodri going to territory in the philippines or early on in turkey so you know weve written recently about this phenomenon where autocrats are beginning to use some of trumps tactics. The president as a model for autocrats. I often get the impression that its damaged americas reputation. In meetings with World Leaders his comments and behavior often leave them shaking their hats. At least we have something in common. Its our job as journalists to report and explain these events. And the United States has been treated very very unfairly by many countries over the years and thats going to stop now from our washington correspondent alexandra form naaman i mean i was sitting in the first row and i had the room the impression that. There is were. The president seems to enjoy making shocking statements. Growth career best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met. With fire and fury. Like the world has never seen. President trump delivered remarks that can be described as typical trump rhetoric hes threatened to totally destroyed north korea if necessary. We journalists are being held hostage to the president s policies and sometimes its more than we can take. But this president its one thing after another. And when he steps out on his own he often gets into trouble. So what does the president s rocky beginning signal about the rest of his tenure. Given the numerous crises the world is dealing with right now its important for the president to promote good relations with the media that steel opinion of ben chang a former National SecurityCouncil Spokesman in the bush and Obama Administrations chang is concerned but not surprised when i point out that a lot of journalists dont believe what the white house sets anymore there is a crisis of trust and they dont believe that the white house is telling the truth how important is it to have this trust without that basic fundamental report and trust it makes everyones job more difficult but it also than i would imagine compulsion porters to go elsewhere to seek information and this concern that the white house has about stories that come out with sources from different parts well the more you. Try to limit information constrain information. Restrict or change information the war that the demand side of the press will look elsewhere and i think thats the dynamic that youre seeing right now and its one that the white house itself has created. Sometimes i wish that we could just ignore donald trump and his lies and his tweets but of course we come off told hes the worlds most powerful politician. This is st charles missouri the president is about to write for a rally. Well i. Think it was. Expected he might get a full president today im happy about it hes connecting with us like you know the. First time weve ever had a president where we know where he stands on everything so im thrilled to death not a politician hes a businessman so i move its concern as a journalist i dont want to be attacked this way i. Like it is then you have to worry about anything yeah yeah i mean im telling this story and then oh you know i see it and i think maybe some of the west brom after that. Concern about that not at all not at all i think this is the first time weve had a president trying to do is clean up a lot of mess. I told you that we would be saying Merry Christmas again right either the it. Was. These kinds of appearances always fold the same script and that includes of course attacks on the media. See now the world is watching look at all the fake news back that there was there all right i have a blow job i certainly didnt enjoy being booed like that but i realize its something that ill just have to do to survive in any case the reporters i met the boats rallied seem to take the crowds reaction in their stride. The road. Ive covered political events by every president since jimmy carter sorry im all. So why have you ever experienced Something Like that no but it didnt particularly bother me i think it would depend on the climate the crowd but frankly because having covered politics for so long i knew half the people sitting out there. And it didnt bother me i mean i dont im not sure if its healthy for democracy for that sort of thing but its politics. Later i meet with some journalism students they work on the newspaper at their school. Im impressed with their analysis of the current state of journalism and the conclusion states draw in the fall of it. When you make us the press outcasts who are making the public outcasts because we are the instruments of truth. And not dismay and in our country weve seen a shift in the direction and its it worries me as a journalist and it worries me as a citizen because i believe that that in any country of the freedom of the press is the freedom of the people if youre not big news according to what he says a lot of the time that youre not doing your job because he a lot of time calls negative press. Yes fake press and so if youre not reporting the facts then youre considered real news said to be fake news is just like its pretty cool. And never thought i would think of the words fake news as a batch of on are but why not. I still think i have the best joke in the world.
