they include some in bangladesh, some in chad that had no casualties. now in the press we have to make priorities every day about what we are going to cover. we use our judgment every day. it feels like the end result is fear. i think that s certainly true. critical of the media and trump. i think in terms of the media, there has long been this notion way before cable needs that if it bleeds, it leads. if anything, i think we re bias, the media, newspapers, whatever, we re biased towards controversy and action and a lot of times it s horrible things that happen get a lot of coverage. if something doesn t happen, if it s not if there are not fatalities, it won t get that much coverage. that s how the media works. i do think that the media
story you know, if it bleeds, it leads. they didn t like with the story tells you about abortion. they didn t like, if these babies had been a couple of inches in a different direction, they had been in the womb, it would be perfectly fine. bill: in some states, but not in all states. not in pennsylvania, 24 weeks in pennsylvania, that s a lot. bill: you wrote this book. did you write it because you are a pro-life person or did you write it because you were uncovering a grisly crime? i m a journalist and i like the idea of journalism being a voice for the voiceless. if you can find a more voiceless person than karnamaya mongar, semika shaw, the babies who he slaughtered, i welcome it.ery wm was supposed to be about. it is a privilege to be the person who gets to speak for these. everybody in the country knows who michael brown is. we all know that name. we know who trayvon martin is. nobody knows who these are, semika shaw, the 22-year-old
he could have been tweeting against the castro kinky boots. instead he s tweeting against something that might have some relevance. i think what you re seeing here is very, very simple. okay. it bothered him that he lost the popular vote. it bothers him that he lost the popular vote by millions and millions of votes. and that it s an even growing margin. right now it s over 2 million votes. i think that hurts him. it gets under his skin. it makes him itch. and when donald trump has an itch, he scratches and scratches and scratches until it bleeds. and it makes all of our ears and eyes bleed. and that s what we are seeing. a man who is irritated that he that can t claim to have a mandate because he lost the popular vote. a man who is irritated that jill stein is doing this recount and hillary clinton has joined up. he is irritated. to the point there were 12 tweets. and reason why we re apparently 13. the reason why we re focused on the one you missed one. i just follo
are really at an inflection point in our country. one is people fear some components of globalization. they fear the way they compete against seven billion people around planet earth and it s easy in political terms to find somebody else to blame and oftentimes, that s blamed on the new guy in town or the new gal in town. so you have that force going on. and the other is a force that plays as you well know, andrea, in the media which is if it bleeds, it leads. too often, media goes for the negative story, not the uplifting story. degrading comment will be covered much more than an uplifting compliment. so you have those two things combined together and you get on the tail end of a campaign with election right around the corner, again, people throw out some things so we shouldn t go that way. i hope we don t. i think the governor was right in what she suggested. but that s probably not the nature of the way the end of
that. what s the saying? if it bleeds, it leads? you show crime stories and local newscasts, because that s what the folks watch. this is obama essentially saying, well, you know, the reason people are upset about this, is because it s been hyped on television and they are not as cool intelligent and far-seeing as i am. this is his usual professorial condescension. the fact that the times took it out, i m not quite sure if they saw it as straight or sarcasm. amy? zblim going to pivot to the press conference. sorry about that. but it is i think we re kind of going to be on the same point here. which is, there was not a whole lot of news there. in part because the answer on what are we going to do. whether it s about terrorism or syria. it feels like we re back in that same place. which is just trust us, it s working. long game. it s a long game, it s not,
