A full report i say that you are a terrible reporter who wins in those coronavirus battles between the president and white house reporters i think its a very nasty question well discuss with talk show host steve gruber and sean hannity and the New York Times battle it out while diamonded silchar apparently done at fox news line will be here to fill us in and for dessert did c. B. S. News air a fake news report on corona Virus Testing at a Health Facility in michigan. Tonight. Well project veritas says yes im steve all. The press. Oh you know. He wishes. To buy. Have you heard the news yes indeed c. N. N. Has sent a cease and desist letter to the Trump Campaign you see they use a short c. N. N. Clip in a 62nd Trump Campaign ad which depicts how the Trump Administration handled their response to the coronavirus watch my administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat are still going to flow americans of all these are accurate that these missteps have not been put in place you could have been 2000000000 people down here in the United States yes yes c. N. N. Says that the clip 7 seconds was false misleading and deceptive. Doesnt that better describe cnns own chris cuomo and that whole self quarantine fiasco that we told you about a couple of weeks ago we showed you how cuomo emerged from his basement supposedly ending his more than 2 week or on a virus quarantine but he had been reported to have been out and about on Easter Sunday well before the stage drives from the basement and he had a run in with a 65 year old bicyclist he took to twitter recently to say its a lie i was passed quarantine. When confronted if you were passed quarantine why did you stage your emerging from quarantine 8 days later and tell dr sanjay gupta 2 days after easter that you had not gone the requisite 72 hours without fever so he now says he was passed quarantine on easter and it was ok to be out and about with his family without a mask by the way but watch this conversation with dr sanjay gupta 2 days after Easter Sunday in order for someone to feel like theyre at home and have been tested positive theres 3 things that clear that the docs really look for to see if you might be able to stop isolation no fever for 72 hours without tylenol and i know you were trying to do the 72 hours with and see if you had a fever they came back and i was cut to keep my fingers crossed we talked over the weekend had to go we had to go 72 hours no i got close so who is cuomo lying to us or dr gupta by the way unfortunately his wife and his son mariel did catch the virus its unfortunate maybe maybe chris should listen to his brother the governor you could literally kill someone because you didnt want to wear a mask i mean how how cruel and irresponsible would that be and then this doctor found who cuomo brought on his show just this past week i guess he was looking for some self gratification narcissistic compliment of some sort watch and you have been calling me out of personal concern to make sure that im ok my wife was ok that my son was ok 11 oclock at night later waiting for my show to and saturday sunday morning that rare time you have with your family why because he loves you chris doesnt everybody you know chris cuomo is like a virus hes now infected doctors found she and gupta who are either willingly playing along very deceitful ie i might add or theyve been duped by. Cuomo into this whole quarantine fiasco i think c. N. N. Needs a cease and desist order against chris cuomo and finally n. B. C. News and m. S. N. B. C. Have said goodbye to their chief andy lack this comes as reports of an investigation by the new York Attorney general circulate so says former n. B. C. Producer rich mchugh that is true im aware of it i have been looking into it for a story. It was the new York Attorney Generals Office Civil Division so you know its not were not sure if it could lead to anything criminal but i do know that theyve been looking into this and interviewing employees over a number of months arties natasha sweet will have more on the andy lack story later in the show. You know many times over the past few weeks weve looked on and b. Will diminish as fox news has kind of changed moved to the left the president s tweeted about it and weve discussed it here this week we take another look at fox on many levels and are they becoming more like c n n n m s n b c and what about people trying to blame them for deaths due to the coronavirus here to analyze all that with us is my friend and yours legal and media analyst lionel lytle media my friend welcome aboard sir thank you sir all right so lets start with this over it fox news the very entertaining duo of diamond and silk has apparently been on ceremoniously dog by the networks pay pay you know service fox nation i think they call it and supposedly for making controversy remarks about the corona virus for one theyve been accused of calling it not a pandemic but a plan that demick implying a lot of things which they claim they didnt say watch. It was not the not the need to let inform susan. We did say it was a pandemic we asked the question one bit and it ran to me thats what i want to go ahead though hes all right so your take on you know on diamond and silk disappearing from from fox nation wealth steve this goes to a bigger issue you know since time immemorial those of us who have been in the business have always questioned the official account of government where there are a death count of vietnam war correct whether we were winning in vietnam or iraq we always ask are we being told the truth now for some reason or another weve now traversed into this new lane that will get you immediately squashed quassia and removed if what youre asking is a Conspiracy Theory and is a great girl but i was another his peers he fears im a conspiracy analyst so assuming they went in said is this plan is they are the numbers bogus and by the way as we speak now and for the next week or so these questions are being asked by a multitude of everybody but heres the bottom line steve what they said was so tepid so dilute compared to what other fox member said Laurie Ingram surely Tucker Carlson who has been calling into question everything every aspect of it from hydrochloric when do you name it well if its good enough for tucker why are they a court of the same blanket of protection that he is but steve for some reason i dont know why if you say if you question. Not whether coronavirus exists or not but whether the reaction is correct you can be immediately show because if i didnt know better it would appear that somebody would say you are not going to question this this planned reaction and if your reaction is one of incredulity or skepticism that does not comport in your acts and of all people from fox. Yeah well that was thats were that yet and of course the president has maintained his his admiration for the pair i want to move on theres been an effort underway as you and i have discussed to blame fox and some of the hosts for the some of the corona debts ok now misinformation sean hannity he is demanding an apology from the New York Times because they did a story which he says put him in a bad light blame him for the death of one person in particular who took a cruise and he threaten a lawsuit against the times he wanted a retraction and apology and the times said no way basically the times story like i said has a fox viewer watching had a knee and then deciding to go on a crew was based on something hannity might have said i dont know and then he wound up dying so does haddadi have a case here if he since that time said no way can he actually sue them and have any chance of winning anything. I do want to give you the old and the age old answer of 2 they said what it depends but also yeah you can too bikini when look see that you told me siva years ago that wed be having a lawsuit over this and even example years ago there was a guy dr robert out in 2 came up with the atkins diet now its called the kido diet isnt that and very its iterations there of people would say all the time i guess youre killing people he wouldnt have sued if i said see you dont understand youre killing people if you tell if you tell women that such and such a youre killing people we said this all the time it was considered perhaps hyperbolic a bit over the top not know the question is this hannity think literally that thats what they said it and did they really say you know that and if he did if the New York Times said yes hannity you said something which will lead to the death of someone else. Well its this this takes the whole notion of journalistic license and opinion and it just blows it apart now by the way to be fair these are all this is all posturing i send a letter to you you send a letter to me im threatening you read it theres no lawsuits of obvious just you know were just posturing and it gets to be beefed up and to play on your show at night but steve what really should bother everybody is that. I cant believe im saying this and not for the lawsuits lets just talk about the i but please go at each other you have got shauns got the biggest bully pulpit to use it thats what im saying. Yeah well its great publicity because as you correctly pointed out were talking about it how many times that we mention hannity your show on hannity but in this little segment like no as always my friend thank you so much thank you my friend my post i want you to stay right where you are because up next is the media attack or are they all on the attack radio talk show host steve gruber both join us and weigh in next right here on eat the breast. So many 5 years ago the scourge of touches them was defeated in europe the soviet union and its western allies were victorious lose the meaning of that victory today what explains recent efforts to rewrite history in what it truly is for the efforts to diminish the sacrifice of me by the people of the soviet union. The world is driven by shaped by. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. Now as we mentioned in our appetizer segment andy lack the boss of m s n b c and n. B. C. News is now the former boss of n. B. C.

Stepped down earlier this week and theres all kinds of talks whirling around of an investigation being done by the new York State Attorney general into Sexual Harassment allegations against n. B. C. News here to sort it all out as somebody whos been following it all our own natashas sweet n. B. C. Chairman andy lack is suddenly out as the investigation surrounding Sexual Harassment claims which started the me too Movement Continues but is there really a cover up culture at the network like some former employees claim more than a dozen women are being interviewed by the new York Attorney Generals Office in an investigation alleging Sexual Assault claims at n.

Nightly news host tom brokaw was also interviewed extensively bester stay in the network has a quote cover up culture during which she called her several hours long interview with investigators in a statement bester saying that lack was one of many in orchestrating a cover up on fox news to her carlson confirms the Ongoing Investigation with former. N. B. C. Producer and investigative journalist rich mchugh thats that is true i am aware of it i have been looking into it for a story. It was the new York Attorney Generals Office Civil Division make you left n. B. C. After he was told to stop reporting on the Harvey Weinstein scandal by then chairman andy lack of though lack deny make use accounts calling it lies in an op ed make you says the more reporting we gathered the more nervous they got but let wasnt the only one trying to get mchugh and ron and pharoah to go silent about their findings on Harvey Weinstein n. B. C. News president no open haim was also very vocal about it and is still at the network as Tucker Carlson points out how can andy lack be gone but no oppenheim is still there do you think youll stay. Its a good question looks like this move has taken some of his power away well mchugh says he believes in b. C. Has already caught wind of this 6 month investigation of the Harvey Weinstein unit in b. C. Has not publicly acknowledged the attorney generals probe and now the head of telemundo will take the place of lack who has declined to comment a 72 year old was expected to retire after the 2020 election reporting for either press natasha sweet are tea. Party folks have a question for you is the media currently under attack from the likes of President Trump and others or are they on the attack well thats an interesting question maybe the answer is both here to help us sort it all out is radio talk show host steve gruber steve welcome aboard glad to have you sir steve good to be here thank you so much for the invite all right well this comes up at least in my mind because andy lack now the former head of n. B. C. News and m. S. N. B. C. Penned an opinion piece talking about how journalism in his view is under attack in various ways the coronavirus he cited the confrontations with the president and reporters at his news conferences like this one with n. B. C. s Peter Alexander watch. Americans were scared i guess nearly 200 dead 14000 your say millions as you witnessed who are scared right now what you say to americans who are watching you right now who are scared i say that youre a terrible reporter thats what i say to the president were just i think its a very nasty question and i think its a very bad signal that youre putting out to the American People the American People are looking for answers and theyre looking for hope and youre doing sensationalism and the same with n. B. C. And con cast. Without being specific steve to this particular alter cation lack says the media is winning these confrontations with the president what do you think. You know you ask if the media is an attack or the attack is the other way around i think it goes both ways the president has made a career of going after the press in a significant way its where he has had hes been very successful in going after the press time and again is something that his base his supporters really seem to like and others identify with as well you know you have to look at a question like alexander is there and its a good example you put up there steve because what i see when i see an exchange like that as a reporter the trying to become the news and you know the old adage dont become the news as a reporter youre supposed to be there covering the story not becoming the story and i see this all the time grandstanding by the reporters and i dont see them do this nearly as much with Previous Administration in fact weve never witnessed anything quite like this with Previous Administrations it just seems to me that reporters one of themselves famous and i think thats the difference today the big difference today is that it used to be that reporters were blue collar their reporters were a working class it was a trade and now its about i mean you saw this when you came to the ranks i just want to be a news anchor the young people say i just want to be a news anchor well if your whole focus is to be a celebrity are you really doing your job of being a reporter which is to find the facts ferret them out be evenhanded we all have biases i get that we all come from somewhere we have preconceived notions about things but do the job in the job is to ask serious questions when things are serious and the matter is serious be serious about it and honestly just do the job. Yeah well i want to skip ahead having said i want to skip ahead to Liberty University and Jerry Falwell hes the president very full jr he wrote a piece blasting the media for their reporting and their coverage of the schools handling of the coronavirus they said that keeps students were coming back etc etc he wrote over the past few weeks the New York Times c. N. N. The Washington Post politico and other left leaning Media Outlets have subjected liberty to baseless and relentless attacks and intentionally misled the public about our response to the Coronavirus Crisis they even accurately reported cases of the virus in our Campus Community without verification and misrepresented the course of action that Liberty University is taking to prevent the spread of the virus unfortunately for america the media are no longer fulfilling their obligation to maintain strict impartiality as their as a core tenet of their professional ethics the private americans are real news reporting from a reliable press so i think you hit it right on the head again specific to Liberty University and in general. Well you know you look at the some of the outlets that have been you know obviously the most talked about that being the New York Times the Washington Post have you ever seen a time in your life when Anonymous Sources become the focus of so many stories im not im a sources say this Anonymous Sources say that not real sourcing not being transparent but anonymous sourcing Liberty University is an easy punching bag of course for the left and the media the way theyre driven that way because they dont care for Jerry Falwell or Jerry Falwell jr or any of them for that matter its a conservative Christian University that theyd like to see you know expunged from the face of the earth many of them because they have no use for those or thinking they would probably keep people Like Hillsdale College the same way if truth be known so it becomes an easy punching bag but i go back to how many rich tractions have you seen that weve seen that weve all seen and again i go to the New York Times the Washington Post c. N. N. And m. S. N. B. C. Dont even bother anymore fox as you noted in your earlier segment started a trend in that same direction and it concerns me frank right when you have so yeah trust in the media which today the trust in the media of the United States is a low as its probably been in my entire lifetime Walter Cronkite has long gone folks hes not here anymore and yet its you and me steve and of course and of you just you and me steve and steve and of course with so many and so many more most Media Outlets that for the trust to be solo it speaks volumes steve great to talk to you great to hear from you thank you very much thank you. What do you suppose might happen if they t. V. News crew were dispatched to go do a story on the long lines at a coronaVirus Testing facility and nobody really showed up to take the test thats reportedly what happened at the Cherry Health Medical Center in grand Rapids Michigan recently where according to an insider who spoke to james okeefe in project veritas the c. B. S. Crew and the facility staged 8th fake news event youre telling me youre 100 percent certain that c. B. S. News c. B. S. Yes News Corporation national staged a fake event they fake the news they fake the reality and broadcasted that to all of their audience last friday on c. B. S. This morning. And that was confirmed by a site supervisor. On the line they knew it was bad. And others including a pair of nurses said they knew about the fake lives. And i did say. That all had slaves. And ill. Look busy. And might have and for the few legitimate patients who did show up well okeefe source says they were kept waiting in that phony line is this the the fake lines. So the people in the cars are are not patients. Who want to go. Through the christmas morning. So they have made a bit of a line of cars with with with medical personnel on the cars as opposed to patients and the viewer does not know that now for their part c. B. S. News issued this statement c. B. S. News did not stage anything at the cherry Health Facility any suggestion to the contrary is 100 percent false the allegations are disturbing we reached out to Cherry Health they informed us for the 1st time that one of their chief officers told at least one staffer to get in line no one from c. B. S. News had any knowledge. Of this and as for Cherry Health they issued a statement Tasha Blackman the c. E. O. Of the facility also claims to be unaware of c. B. S. Staging anything nor did she instruct any staffer to get in line for testing so she says it will have much more on this story next week the press.
