Look the other way while actual crimes that are hurting actual people go right under their nose, and they dont seem to be clutching their pearls over those things. But if theyre trying to make Donald Trump this bad guy, this playboy, this womanizerrer, it didnt work in 2016, its not going to work in 2024. Sorry, guys, try again. Howard not exactly breaking news on that front lucy, the Nittygritty Detail it is are kind of boring, Falsifying Expense records to reimburse Michael Cohen for passing money to stormy daniels, but is hearing from the National Enquirer and a former Playboy Playmate and talk of the access hollywood tape, is that going to boost the coverage on the ratings and the ratings just into the stratosphere . I dont think this is a question of rate ratings, right . Whether or not you think this trial should have been gone forward or not, whether or not you think its boring, that not the standard, whether its boring or scintillating, for whether or not this case should have
Really interesting approach of trying to make Donald Trump seem like the sleepy Donald Trump or Donald Trump is not cognitively aware because he fell asleep. I think thats really interesting, that theyre trying to December Tract from joe biden. I dont think distract from jee bind. Good job, media, but i dont think its resonating when youve got the current guy, joe biden, in the office who quite literally falls asleep. Howard so you dont think the sleepy Nick Fame is going to stick. Look, when the former president talked about the case and legal expenses, this is stuff that can be used in court against him. Lucy, i want to play a Sound Bite to make this point. Donald trump, after one session, came out with a thick stack of printouts of various articles, and he said, you know, virtually all legal experts agree on this. Lets roll it. This is Wall Street Journal editorial. Look at this, national review. Another national review. Jonathan turley, gregg jarrett,
Bias. Fox news, Roger Ailes was a person who was a Media Consultant to republican president s howard that is true. And that criticism was often raised. Absolutely. Now, the ceo [inaudible conversations] okay. Again, conflating those two issues. Howard okay. The ceo of npr, her politics are way to the left of mine, but that doesnt mean its inappropriate for her to be at the met helm of a liberal news outlet. Howard the Washington Post finally covered this, there hasnt been a word on msnbc or cnn, and the Wall Street Journal reports The New York Times is conducting an invest about leaks of israel coverage. This is going on in lots of newsrooms. Lucy, tomi, thanks so much for joining us. Up next, the media portray House Speaker Mike Johnson as barely hanging on to his job as Rewins Approval for aid to israel he wins approval for aid to israel and ukraine
Derangement syndrome within their bones, i would hope they would take their duty as a juror to heart and give this man a fair trial. Im not going to hold my breath for that. But the fact that some of these other networks, they failed to discuss this. And we know that if the situation had been reversed, a lot of these anchors on other networks would be up in arms if Joe Biden was in the same Position And Somebody had tweeted something about Joe Biden or lock up hillary. We know there would be Mass Hysteria oh that. But given the its donald trump, the unfairness doesnt seem to boor them. Howard lucy, judge merchan admonished the press about undermining the jurors anonymity, and i think he was right. This is where a person work, theyve got three kids. Sometimes its not that hard to figure out. Yeah. I mean, theres been conversation about whether or not this jury needs to be sequestered because they are being exposed in ways that are unprecedented. But to the point about whether
on who you are. howard: npr is partially funded by the funded by the feds. whether you agree, lucy, wouldn t npr in a pr sense say, you know what? he raises some good questions, we re going to have some internal discussions rather than just circling the wagons in. well, npr did not fire him, and he did something that was unprecedented and very abnormal, which was to go free wheeling, sort of like self-directed, go right to a different outlet, go do a media tour trashing his employer. that is not normal. he s not a media reporter, he s not a media ombudsman. this was obviously by design. a lot of the things he s saying about npr may be correct, but this was not his beat. he s not a person whose beat is to cover npr, and certainly his beat was not to cover his own employer in a different outlet. as for the funding thing, i really want to double click on that because, look, you can take aim at the fact that a there are lots of things that are funded
