someone to go on and they didn t take us up on that. i m not sure what happened this week. i m happy to go on jake s show any time. when are they going to show i watched that interview i m trying to think of a diplomatic way to say it. it wasn t journalism. until they want to start asking real questions and talk about real questions americans care about instead of getting in the back and forth. howie: why wasn t it journalism? that s a serious charge. there were parts of it like the accusations of boycotting their network when we clearly offered for people to be con. con to be on. that s a big deal. howie: there has been a lot of media chatter about sean spicer. the washingtonian magazine said

different right. if they supplied him with means to escape, if they wrought him weap brought him weapons, if they helped him move around. but there is no evidence of that. it seem like they located him. they talked to him and that was it. and then you get to whether this was right to do. how do you see the situation is this. i absolutely think it s right to do in the sense of do we have the right and does rolling stone or sean penn have a right to talk to el chapo. they have a right to talk to he will el chapo just like cnn talked to bin laden. whether it s journalism is another question. sean penn to my knowledge is not a journalist. he made news like dennis rodman made news when he went to north korea. but i m not sure i d call it journalism. one of the things i like about journalism, there is no bar exam.
why does he go. you re being very charitable. why does he do it over there? he is not going to lose a single audience member. remember morton downey jr.? there is a new documentary out. i just saw it this weekend here. is a guy who really got this thing started of riling up the working class jersey folks in his audience. and that is where today s troll culture comes from. sean hannity, by the way, in the documentary as well as some others because donny started this whole thing. it s like two minutes of hate and george orwell. these are frustrated working class people. and rather than deal with the real issues of class division in this society right now, it s easy to rile people up over scapegoats. that s what has happened. i don t want to dignify what that kind of race-baiting journalism is by calling it journalism. we have legitimate conservative politicians. why do they go that far? i don t think sean who people like listening to him. fair enough.
