about president trump. this is a guy who essentially drive traffic to twitter. some of his tweets go close to the lines of violating the terms of service. i said did you ever think about banning donald trump. they said they seriously considered that in the megyn kelly tweet tboolg she asked him during the debate. but they are saying we are not going after trump. we believe he s a vital voice. he s the president, he uses twitter. they say they are trying to be equal here. now, it s imperfect equal, we know that. they did fix that shadow-banning problem. howie: i take the company at its word. facebook has also been accused.
guy: it sounds like a politician that wants the media narrative he or she supports and looks good for them. trump is unusually aggressive in his public posturing on this, but it s not a stretch for an administration to cherry pick the story they want to tout and dismiss others. trump goes overboard frequently on this kind of stuff. but it s true a huge percentage of the mainstream media is actively rooting against him. they want him to fail, they want to bring him down and create lose-lose paradigms for him. adrienne: donald trump believes if any media coverage of him is negative, it s fake news. that s how he frames it.
you do it quietly and secretly. bill: traditionally you would. but donald trump doesn t do anything the way everybody has has already done it. in the press room. sean spicer. we didn t know how to deal with these tweets. we asked sean spicer should we take things seriously or not. spicer said every tweet is a presidential statement, take them seriously. the president of the united states is going after sessions or comey, i think it does raise an issue. howie: another story there was a lot of coverage of. 11 house republicans introducing impeachment for rod rosenstein for allegedly slow-walking requests for documents. it got a lot of coverage to compete with the 4.1% jump in
guy: but the allegation is explosive. it s someone in the inner sanctum of trump world for a long time saying one of the major assertions made by the president about that trump tower meetle is false and would be a capital l lie if michael cohen is telling the truth. howie: would it be a lie that would be much more important, you could call it attempted collusion more so than his relationship with the woman? guy: definitely. howie: sara, are we headed for the kind of story the media loves, michael cohen protecting his own interest, he seems to be saying i did a lot of things for donald trump, i m not proud of him he doesn t use these
about. howie: if it can be shown to be true that the president says i forgot about that meeting. the people who support him wouldn t care. adrienne: donald trump uses the media psych toll his advantage and creates a lot of confusion. there is a tape? is there not a tape? why does it matter if there is a tape. it s very confusing. i think it average american is letting his slide by and not paying as much attention. howie: sara, we ll see you later. a devastating new yorker piece about cbs chairman les moonves. when we come back. are you ready to take your wifi to the next level?
