his record during the first 100 days that is not fair. he has not done the reckless military operations some in the media feared. you also have to look at the coverage of the media. it s a little bit hypocritical. all the average about having him be this president who wants to take the counsel of the military. listen to his generals. these are all people who are going to serve as a moderating voice and dissuade him from preemptive military strikes. howie: you have nikki haley and rex tillerson talking tougher on russia than the president does. when the president says risk of war. isn t there also a risk of inaction? katie: they act like we are not at war already, they act like we are not under daily terrorist threats.
but the media with just a constant drum roll whether that escalates tensions or gives kim jong-un a platform to make his threats against the u.s. gillian: to turn on the television during those 24 to 48 hours you would think we were on the brink of a nuclear holocaust. the media was fear mongering. people loss perspective. this is nothing new. the handling of their missile program, this is something that has been simmering and boiling for the last three years and the media has not been there covering this the way they should have and this comes as a surprise to people who aren t paying attention. katie: if you look at way they portray the north korean regime as if they could hit the united states tomorrow. that s not the case. i think they are playing this up in an effort to make the
audience that doesn t trust the mainstream media. susan: the five is very popular. moving to the 6:00 p.m. slot is not risky. the pattern has been people will stick to fox news as long as fox sticks to what it s doing. as the liberal activists try to target conservative voices, i think the hosts can be interchangeable. howie: i ll take exception to that with my own point of view. joe concha, susan ferrechio, anti-trump stories? earning your cash back shouldn t be this complicated.
on branding the first 100 days. is it just the media being ridiculous? the president said he wants to run the federal government like a business. during the first month of president trump s administration reporters were complaining about him doing too much. it was a neck breaking pace. there was too much to cover and the reporters were exhausted. here we are approaching the first 100 days and he apparently hasn t done enough. he either hasn t done enough or he needs to do more. howie: it goes back to fdr s days and it has become a ritual. whether the white house officials participate or not, the media will have all these stories and web postings. it s not a new benchmark. with two round numbers it makes
president trump. president obama had the honeymoon period. part of that overlaps with the first 100 days. if i was going to break it down measure by measure. the first 100 days is the honeymoon day. howie: president trump got zero honeymoon. he didn t even get a week of a honeymoon period. howie: is there a benefit of the doubt? within hours of his taking the oath of office the president was out there in a full-flown war with the media. a lot of it was instigated by him. every single day since then he has gone after the media. so you say the media come up and say we are going to fact check
