Analysis of Media Coverage of news stories. Ive said that to Sarah Huckabee sanders. Ill continue saying that. The war started when steve bannon at cpac said the press was an Opposition Party and the enemy. Its wrong. I support the president. You dont have to be on side on every single issue. I dont believe in litmus tests. I think hes done a very, very good job. His speech away from the rhetoric about the press was very good last night. What about the idea that no one that people are telling him to drop this rhetoric and hes not listening. Is this why you wasnt in the job longer . He dupoesnt want to hear this advice . I made a mistake and got fired by john kelly for that mistake. I bear the accountability for that. Im telling you that the most loyal people, your most loyal employee, your most loyal staff are offering you constructive advice and telling you balls and strikes the way they see them as
opposed to just acting. I would encourage people in the west wing if they think differently than the president they should speak out. Speak out in a constructive way. Theres no be ridiculously critical or biting. On this topic, the president s got great judgment. Hes ban great marketing person his whole life. Hes a great communicator. I think hes wrong on this topic. I think hes been right on the economy. Hes been right on north korea. I think about whats about to happen in iran will be a result of his doing. I dont think this war with the media is something thats going to help him long term. Joe, what about you . When i say its hate movement, do you think thats fair depipgs depiction of Whats Going On . He trump is trying to pit the media against the public. I think the media makes a mistake when they make it about
just themselves. What it is is a hate movement and war on our democracy. The media is an essential part of that. Keeping the president honest through the work the Press Secretary does and the president. The president and his people are pursuing a deliberate strategy. They are trying to confuse and undermine all the Information Sources except for the most conservative. They want to keep their base happy so they throw out the raw meat to fox news and others. Then they want to get Everyone Else confused. You see this most explicitly in how he talks about the mueller investigation. Calling it a witch hunt despite all the indictments that have gone in. Desti despite all the work thats been done. Hes trying to make people get so frustrated so say i dont believe anyone. Its a political strategy. Its dangerous strategy and its a war on our democracy. Anthony, a war on our
democracy . Well, i wouldnt go as far as mr. Lockhart is saying. He means about himself specifically. I think he does recognize that there could have been some foul play on the periphery. A lot of indictments came down were not directly related to him. Thats what he feels he can say that. He says rigged witch hunt. I got that. I think rigged witch hunt sets peoples hair on fire. Those of us that have hair. What i would say to you is he is upset about the media bias. He has a right to be upset about the media bias but tactically and strategically the rhetoric hes using is very, very bad for the country. Long term that amendment was first for a reason. We have to uphold that amendment. We have to uphold the sacredness of that amendment. People can disagree with me inside the white house. The president can disagree with me. Friends are allowed to disagree. I think that people that like him should look him straight in the face and tell him the truth about this if they feel as strongly about it as i do. It makes me wonder, you say hes upset with the media. Makes me upset if bill clinton had twitter, what he would have said about the media. Joe, do you have any guests . I think its a fair question. Theres a fundamental difference between first off, every president thinks the media is biassed against them. They think the media is too touch on them. They dont understand they dont cover the positive news. Full stop. Look at the difference between the 1990s and now. Bill clinton pursued a political strategy of saying this is all going on over here, but im not
going to talk about it publicly because you elected me to work for you. Im not a victim. Even though at times he felt like a victim but in public he didnt do it. Donald trump cant go 20 minutes without pouring out a selfpity stream of tweets about how people are out to get him. Theres the deep state. Theres mueller. Theres the democrats. Theres lebron james. You pick. Any one that you can come up with. Thats fundamentally different. Even if we had twitter back then, i think president clinton rose with the public because he was able to put people first and look past what he thought was a politically motivated investigation and trump is pursuing the attack opposite strategy. I think its failing. Thats why you see this flailing around. Anthony, joe, please stick around if you can. Some Breaking News before we go to break about the future of cbs. Youll recall that Blockbuster Story came out nine days ago. Now, more than a week later, he remains in charge while two law firms investigate the allegations. In the past few minutes we have received word about another man accused of misconduct. The Executive Producer of 60 minutes. Cbs saying they heard the investigation will be wrapping up soon. Jeff has decided to stay on vacation. Here is the significance of that. He was originally planning to return to work tomorrow monday would be first day back on the job after the news magazines traditional summer vacation. The new yorker article detailed allegations of unwanted advances and he enabled a climate of harassment at the news magazine. F fager denied those allegations. Cbs said they would have a firm that was already on the job would look into fager as well. The word from cbs news is this law firms work will be completed this month. As a result, fager, one of the most poppwerful Television Producers will remain on vacation for now. Thats notable. A few days ago he told me he would be back on monday.

Get published now, call for your free publisher kit today sometimes the simplest questions are the best answers. Ivanka trump was asked about her fathers enemy talk. Do you think were enemy of the people . Sorry. Do you think were enemy of the people . No, i do not. Later in the day, Sarah Sanders was asked the same question but she punted and attacked the press instead. Its official white house policy that press is the enemy of the people. Its pretty outroageous. Sanders attempted to smear the media that journalist reveal bin ladens location or made it harder to find him. We fully support a free press but theres a high level of speedometer wi responsibility with that. The media puts lives in danger and risk Value National security tools. One was the reporting to listen to Osama Bin Laden satellite phone. He stop losing the phone and the country lost valuable intelligence. He said reporters made it harder to track down bin laden before 9 11. Is that true . Of course its not true. It was debunked more than a decade ago. Sarah sanders has yet to apologize for her screw up. I dont know what to say anymore, everybody. Back with me now is anthony s r
scaramucci and joe lockhart. Joe, is this how it works . Someone hapdnds you a piece of paper and do you lie to the public . This has never happened before. Weve had great president s. Weve had terrible president s. Republicans and democrats. Weve never had anything like this where a president , we have a president who is incapable of telling the truth. The Washington Post averages Something Like seven and a half to eight lies day. The job of the Press Secretary even with an honest president is very, very hard. Youre balancing the interests of the president s political fortunes and the government with the press and the publics right know things. It is hard. I think with both sean spicer and Sarah Sanders they have crossed the line here where they now, the facts dont matter and they reflect the boss. If the boss lies then i can lie. Thats just a terrible place to be for the country. It has consequences. The consequences of it, white house podium used to be place that around the world you could take it to the bank. This is our policy. This is what were doing. Right now, no one knows what the truth is and they could say the sun will come up in the east tomorrow and there would be bas speculation its not going to. The lies just get told. For Sarah Sanders, shes now gone beyond the point of being in a tough situation with a hard boss. Shes now Aiding And Abetting the process. The process is designed to undermine the Public Confidence in the one tool they have to keep the government accountable. You said she is cowardly. You really believe that . Yeah. I think the brave thing to do would be to up there in that moment, in that moment to say,
you know what. The president misspoke. The president sometimes uses hyberbole. The president is frustrated. The press is not the enemy of the people. Whats your reaction to what joe is saying . Well, were going to have to disagree on her personally and what her character is and what her principles are. I think shes very different from sean spicer. Literally like night and day. Shes trying her hardest to tell the truth to the american people. Is she trying hard . When she got up there and lied about bin laden, she never corrected it. I think joe knows more than the three of us how difficult the job is and how difficult it is that you have to protect the principal and balance the situation but also respect the free and fair press. Sarah is representing the
president there. Ivanka is speaking giving her own opinion. I think that the president Still Believes and still says thing like the enemy is the press of the people. Its very tough for sarah to be up there as the president s avatar and answer that question. Maybe she doesnt think that the press is the enemy of the people but shes representing the president of the united states. What i would like to see happen is the president walk that back. Hes got an unbelievable economy. Great growth, great wages. If you look at minority unemployment at historical lows, he should be in the mid50s as it relates to his Approval Rating but he needs to change come some of the conat the present time content and style of communication. If he doesnt do there, i think theres a head wind where people are saying hold on a second. The First Amendment is there for a reason. This is damage well live with a long time. I did notice you took lebron james side in this tiff between trump and james. Is that an example of him needing to change his Communication Style . Yeah. I dont agree with what the president is saying about lebron james. I tweeted about it two or three weeks ago before he said the stuff about don lemon and lebron james last night. I disagree. That doesnt mean i cant be on his team. If he dupoesnt want me on his team because i disagree. I think the first lady is in the same camp as me. Lebron james is a Great American success story. Lebron james is a guy, frankly, that has been a role model to so many people. Not just people in the Africanamerican Community but
all of america. Hes an inclusive guy. If he disagrees with the president and says a few things here and there, the president s very combative guy. Hes hitting him back. I would tell the president knock it off. Thats why a lock t of peopl think lebron james, don lemon and later in the day he attacks ma Maxine Waters again. A lot of people see racism. He calls everybody stupid. Black, white, green, yellow and red. The guy is not racist. He called three black people stupid this weekend. I didnt see him call any green or red people. Hes called a whole host of people stupid. I think its inappropriate. Its definitely not racist. I know the guy personally. I see how he interacts. Hes far from racist. He picks on everybody universally. Whats at stake here is a guy like lebron james. If someone is hitting you a bit, let it go. If you look at the dashboard of success that america is having now both domestically and internationally. He says the polls are fake. He says i think theres a deeper problem than what youre describing. He told me last night at a rally where he said the polls are fake. Thats what he said. You talk about Approval Ratings. Okay. Listen. He may think the polls are fake. Im a trained economist. I understand statistics pretty well. Lets take a sampling of 50 of the polls. They are roughly right. Lets get him on track communication wise. Stay away from attacking lebron james and don lemon. I think its a bad move. Anthony might be good for don for his ratings. I dont know. For another conversation. Anthony and joe thank you for being here. Thanks. Coming up, what this outlandish Conspiracy Theory is really all about. I have a theory. Ill tell you right after the break. In the u. S. Its americas most popular street name. But Allstate Agents know thats where the similarity stops. If youre on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the Washoe Zephyr could damage your siding. And thats very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. But no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local Allstate Agents knows yours. Now that you know the truth, are you in good hands . When you finance with gm financial.

Call or go online today. Call or go on line today. Press over analyze the trump phenomenon. While he gives a lot to talk about, his appeal is on one level pretty simple. Hes telling a story. His story is more fiction than fact. Thats the thing about a novel or a drama. Its not really meant to be fact checked. Its there to make you feel
something. As much as i promote Fact Checking and accountability journalism, we should look at this through the prism of story telling. Its us versus them. Its dark versus light. His supporters get it. Watch. Trump is a story teller. Hes an entertainer. He should tell the truth but he tells stories and sometimes his stories stretch things. Many of trumps lies are awful but they are in service of this story hes telling. If you can look past the lies for a momentum, y, you can see fans love the stories. Look another the faces at the rallies. Trump says hes putting america first. Fixing the economy and fighting the dark forces trying to stop him. In other words, hes the hero. Battling against dems in the date state and never trumpers. Whether you love trump or hate
him, you have to recognize the Pow Er Of Story and recognize te powers that boost that story. Picture his protrump media world has his coproducers. Its as if his fai Rvorite Hostn fox news are hard at work in the writing room developing the plot. Trump promotes them to millions of people. The guys that we love, right, theyre blowing them away in the ratings. Hannity, tucker carlson. Were blowing them away. Thats good. Those are the people that love us. We. He says we. He tells people to read specific books that back up the story hes telling. He gives people ways to participate. Thats a really important part of this. I think its kind of what this q thing is all about. The crazy qanon theory. Got a lot of media attention. People have showed up with q signs at all three of trumps rallies. The theory is trump is secretly saving the world and stopping pedophiles, i think. What youll find on these Message Boards is dont believe the media cover Aage Of Trump EastEasterab East easterabs terrible mistakes. Its a fun thing to be a fun thing to be part of it in. Its fun because things get revealed. We know before its going to happen a lot of times. When things are happening, we got a smirk on our face and go q told us. See, theres almost a choose your own adventure aspect to all of this. Its entertainment. Trump and his favorite talk shows and his favorite authors
and the people who come up with the Conspiracy Theories and the twitter bots and trolls that promote it and the politicians that play along. All of it amounts to an alternative reality. In the same way that disney fans fly to florida and comic book fans argue on Message Boards fru trump loyalists flock to these rallies. They are motivated to defend him and tell his story. Never underestimate the power of an entertainer. This is where pollster wrote. For all that trump may ignore the fact hes got something that can still matter a lot. A story. Her point back then holds really true today. It might leave you wondering, if trump is telling this emotional story, what story are trumps opponents telling . Thats my attempt to make sense of the rally phenomenon. Were seeing more and more of these rallies. Lets hear from someone who has been there. Im joined by susan glasser. Cnn Global Affairs and staff writer. Margaret, a lot of attention about the angry crowds yelling at the press corps. When i watch the rally theres joy and happiness on the face of the attendees. What do you see going on at these events . In way you do almost have to be there to understand the nuance on the field. Every rally is a bit different. Rally takes on a move of its own. Ive been so some that have felt ominous and afraid to come in with the press pool and be identified as press. Others that are really joyous, happy occasions where youll jump in and start trying to talk to people in the crowd, getting the know who is there. They are very nice and cordial. Im a retired plumber. This is my son. I live here. Welcome to my neighborhood. Sorry the airconditioning is brok broken. Five minutes later when the president begins bashing on the press, the same people are turning around shaking their fist at you. To many people in that audience as if it was a road show or reality show or a rock concert. They know what theyre part is. Theres call and respond element to it. There was call and respond element to obamas rally. We were just never one of the foils in that game. Im seeing more and more viewers and email readers saying to me, reporters should stop attending. Stop showing up at all. What do you say to that . I understand that sentiment. It misunderstands the job of a journalist. The job of a journalist so to be an impartial person and give
information to readers so they can make a judgment. Its not the role of a journalist to take part in any of this. Thats part of the Dialog Diabo Nature of what the president is doing. He knows that. Do News Channels need to cover a rally live, gavel to gavel for an hour and a half. I think the answer is no. The media has never done that for past president s. Its the job of reporters to be there to decide what is news and to show that to the public. The new normal is that cnn and msnbc dont carry the rallies live until theres big Breaking News. Fox news does carry every rally live in its entirety. You see different strokes for different folks. Susan you wrote about trumps lies this week. Your headline was its true, trump is lying more and hes doing it on purpose. Whats the meaning there . Well, you know i think that
does sum it up. Margar margarets point is extremely important. The rallies and the dramatic scale and scope and number of Donald Trumps lies are very much in tandem. One of the reasons the Washington Post has documented this dramatic up tick is because trump has kicked into Campaign Mode in recent months. Were likely to see more of it over the next couple months headed up to the midterm elections. He said he will be on the road six to seven times a week. These misstatements and untruths are connected to his political identity. These arent random misstatements. They are connected with his political story. Its not just a narrative that hes telling. If you look at the categories where he lies the most in public is things like immigration, trade, russia, nato, for example. These are things that are
connected. Its not just that he has policies that he is supporting. He is supporting those policies with a conscious strategy of lying and attacking. I think it goes right along with his broader war on the media and calling us enemies of the people. Thank you both for being here.

He says polls are fake, then he promotes those he like. My next guest says this is all connected. An op ed columnist wrote that Trumps Campaign against independent information has been especially chilling this week. A campaign against independent information. I asked him what he means by that. This week was chilling because of the ferocity of the language that he used against both the media and against the mueller investigation. What i was trying to point out is as worrisome as the language is against the media, what hes doing is not restricted to the media. He is on a campaign against
anyone who represents an independent source of the information. The media, fbi, the congressional budget office, scientists in the case of climate change. I could go on and on. Trump want a monopoly on information and he wants to attack anyone who threaten that. Thats a much bigger mover than merely calling cnn fake news. Or calling New York Times the failing New York Times or going after nbc. All of that is alarming. I think its important for people to see this isnt just about the media. Trump doesnt hate the media because its the media. Anyone who is from new york, as i am, and is roughly my age, as spent decades knowing that donald trump loves the media. He loves attention. The issue is he doesnt like anything that is a threat to his ability to tell people what the truth is. He wants the ability to say whatever he wants. He wants the ability to say his inauguration crowd is x when its 20 of x. To tell stories about russia. Whoever that independent source of information is, the media, fbi, mueller investigation, you name it. If that represents a threat to him, he wants to attack them as unreliable so he can be the one to tell people this is whats really going on. He has lots of helpers. He has lots of allies like sean hannity who will tell him hes right and back up his point of view. Its not Trumps Campaign, its trumps world campaign. Thats right. Trump is not the mast eer mind behind all of this. We live in a country thats deeply polarized. Many people dont believe anything unless it comes from a voice they already trust. How big is that group . How big is that population that only believes what trump says . I think we whats the largest possible group. It would be his core supporters. Hes consistently had approve of about 40 of the country. Sometimes it rises towards 45. Sometimes it dips to 38. Right around there. I would say i think theres some people in that group who dont believe what he is saying but support him and dont care if hes lying. I think theres another group who dont really think that much about it. To tell it doesnt matter. Hes right in the larger sense. Why does it matter whether he makes up statistics . Hes on their side. I dont know. To the extent are we talking a about a quarter of the country. Its not necessarily 40 of the country that dismisses everything. Its a subset of his base thats especially loyal to him. Those are the folks that wait in liep
line at the rallies and chant cnn sucks at the camera. This is worse than what we see at other parts of our political system. I really dont want to equate them. I think people who are not the president s supporters, you can manl h couldnt imagine how this would happen. Imagine a politician who you thought was on the side of truth said something, in some case, that turned out to be untrue, youre not going to immediately get worked up about that. I think we see that phenomenon happening repeatedly with Trump Supporters. You can hear the rest of our conversation right here on our podcast. After a break ill show you something we dont normally share. Its audio of a phone call threatening me and another cnn anchor. We want to show you what these threats to reporters are all about.

attacks on the media are having an effect. Threats against reporters are on the rise. But instead of me telling you that, i want you to hear it for yourself. On friday the said hes going to shoot me and don lemon if he sees us. Let me preface this by saying im not asking for sympathy. I dont think im in extreme danger. Some of my colleagues get much worse threats than i do. Cnn has a Great Security team and we know how to handle this stuff. This problem is not confined to cnn. People at fox news and other outlets had to deal with this garbage too. But these kinds of threats are coming in more often. So take a listen. Heres the phone call. Don, State College pennsylvania supports the criticism in the media. Don, youre on the air. Caller good morning. It all started when trump got
elected. Brian stelter and don lemon from cnn called Trump Supporters all racists. They dont even know us let me stop you there. Ive never called Trump Supporters racist, neither has don lemon. What this guy is about to say, is predicated on a lie. Dont even know these americans out here and they are calling us racists because we voted for trump . Come on. Give me a break. They started the war. I see them, im going to shoot them, bye. He says we started a war and if he sees us, hes going to shoot us. So where did the caller get the impression that i called all Trump Supporters racist . I dont know. I do know the night before on Fox Sean Hannity played a twoyearold clip asking if anxiety was a factor in his rise. Researchers have proven racial anxiety and resentment was a factor. I dont know if the cspan caller watched hannity, not blaming hannity. I thought the timing was odd. Fridays threatening phone call is a tiny illustration of the threats that are out there. Many journalists who cover politics say they are receiving more and more threats nowadays in the trump era. Katy tur sounded the alarm earlier this week. I hope you get raped and killed one person wrote to me just this week. Raped and killed. Not just me but a couple of my female colleagues as well. In case you want to argue this has nothing to do with the president. The most recent note i ended up Brett Stevens wrote in the New York Times on saturday, journalists are concerned were approaching a day when blood on the Newsroom Floor will be blood
on the president s hands. I hope he is wrong. Im sorry to end on a sober note today but well see you back here this time next week. Stay tuned now for state of the union.
