Were going to look at how fox news prime time is covering or not covering the trial and why that matters so much. First avoiding questions by attacking the messenger. The senate trial of President Trump is continuing and trumps stonewalling is continuing to. Secretary of state mike pompeo knows a lot about the ukraine scheme, so hes exactly the kind of trump official whose testimony might be valuable in the coming days. And, of course, in the coming days well find out if any new witnesses will be called at the trial. In the meantime reporters are the ones gathering new information about who knew what when and why. Pompeos hostility towards the press has reached a new high or low. It was in this interview with npr. Now he was trying to dodge questions about ukraine during this interview with host Mary Louise Kelly. She politely kept asking the questions and then after the interv

Thank you. Ifill the federal government moved another day closer today to 85 billion in automatic spending cuts. And as political charges and countercharges flew, Federal Reserve chief ben bernanke raised new fears about the potential economic fallout. The fed chairman told a Senate Committee that forcing acrosstheboard spending cuts could slice half a percentage point off economic growth. I think an appropriate balance would be to introduce these cuts more gradually and to compensate with larger and more sustained cuts in the longer run to address our longrun fiscal issues. Ifill bernanke said the sequester was supposed to be a doomsday weapon designed to spur compromise. It was done to be sort of like dr. Strangelove, you know, the bomb that goes off. So obviously if you can find a way to, you know, in a bipartisan way to make it more effective and better prioritized, that would be a good thing. Ifill instead the spending cuts could begin to take effect at weeks end. President obama,
