howie: should the media make trump an issue or is it both sides are making trump an issue. i think it s very fair that media makes trump that sees some extent of a referendum on trump on this. you re trying to have a republican candidate win in what is a blue state. howie: six months ago people living inside the beltway didn t know who youngkin was. when we come back, andrew cuomo charged with a sex crime. and later, andrew sullivan on the growing crisis in facebook. it s very meta. well the sun is shining and the grass is green i m way ahead of schedule with my trusty team there s heather on the hedges and kenny on the koi and your truck s been demolished by the peterson boy yes wait, what was that? timber.
now you have meta. howie: you have internal documents showing that some wanted to kick breitbart out of the news beat. can you imagine that the liberal organization was not so reliable and we should question it. i can t. this is the trouble with some of these elite corporations and institutions. they don t really see that the are biased because they re so trapped in a bubble of their own making. what they think is common sense is actually for large numbers of people in america something that is really out on left field an that s a real problem. and it s a problem with being siloed in these big cities and places where especially when you have young generations of college educated people as part of the workforce, you become
that a joe biden s approval ratings are at 42%. i would say we re paying close attention but it s cliche but virginia is a bellwether state and we have to pay attention of to it and it will define whether the democrats have the momentum to pass their agenda or not or whether the loss pushes the agenda forward. i would say that this is a race to pay attention to and the media is doing the right thing by paying attention. howie: on that point, we did have as we showed earlier joe biden barack obama campaigning for mcauliffe. while trump endorsed youngkin, he has not appeared for him. to your point, all politics is local and virginia is a very unique state because of the way the beltway people live in northern virginia and it s a huge state with different cultures.
he seems to think there is a a future. if we give him a pass this time in the media, that means he has a chance to come back with very few people remembering that he was in fact charged with a sex crime. howie: well, cuomo apologized for certain things. he continued to insist he never touched anybody or any of the serious allegations. less p than three months ago he was the most prominent democratic governor in the country, hailed for his covid briefings, he won an emmy. when we say he s just a former governor, if this kind of charge was brought against a former governor, ron de santis, for example, you think this would be a half day story. absolutely not. these are graphic allegations. there s a woman on the record that talked on the camera about it. what she is accusing him of having done is a terrible thing. it s amazing how little interest there is, given the news value of the story, even as a former
and because people were accusing him of colludeing with the russians beginning with the campaign. we were covering trump as if he was an alleged russian agent part of the time. it was really ridiculous. he spent his entire term under siege and the pulitzer prize for the new york times reporting, you can t help spot the irony there. they cited the times for this deeply sourced reporting. a lot of it was an echo chamber and politically motivated. there s so much evidence of that now. about the point that you get the point out there, not the correction later. there s so much argument from people that believe trump colluded with the rushes chance because the coverage was so heavy in that regard. howie: the media did releaptlessly relentlessly hide the russian investigation. the independent council s investigation had to be covered. . of course, a lot of the allegations turned out to be
