The community here in hampton roads. Host we have 30 seconds left but were at a stateowned port here. Stateowned versus privately owned in this country, major ports. Whats the difference . How many are we talking about . Guest all of our members are public port agencies. Many are state, some are local like city, counties, harbor districts, et cetera. And they handle most of the public type groups like containers, et cetera. Many of the ports facilities that handle things like oil, petroleum products, liquefied natural gas, et cetera, are private facilities and they handle a lot of those types of bulk commodities. So theres probably roughly an equal amount of public and private terminals. Host kurt nagle, the president of the port authorities, we thank you for talking to our viewers and welcome us to the port of virginia. We appreciate it. Est happy to be here.

Weve just gone over 70,000 deaths in america. The media needs to make up their minds about whether they want the Coronavirus Task force briefings or not. For weeks we have heard from a number of journalists who have said that we shouldnt be showing these briefings because theyre propaganda. Howard the next day the president abruptly reversed himself. I thought we could wind it down sooner but i had no idea how popular the task force is, until actually yesterday when i started talking about winding it down. Howard joining us now to analyze the coverage, ben domenech, founder and publicity of the federalist and capri cafaro, who
Start the morning by asking something controversial but something that we as americans have to be asking. Is our country again waging war in the middle east based on faulty intelligence and exaggerated threats . I have a pair of guests standing by who have a whole lot to say about this, about the medias duty to ask these questions in times of war. So let me set the table by considering whats happened since monday when the government launched air strikes against isis in syria. We were shown u. S. Navy video of the strikes and assured that the bombs hit the right targets. And we were told that the bombs also targeted a group we had barely heard of before,. Now, we as journalists have very few ways to verify these claims. So i ask you at home, do you want journalists to assume everything government Officials Say is true . Do you want journalists to assume that everything Officials Say is a lie and then work backwards and try to verify it . Or is there a middle ground here . Lets be honest
First, donald trump in denial. This morning trump is reacting to news reports that cia officials believe russia was trying to put him in the white house and that even the rnc was hacked by russian actors but those emails were not released while dnc emails were. Trump is telling foxs Chris Wallace he doesnt believe the nations top intelligence officials. According to the Washington Post, the cia has concluded that russia intervened in the election to help you win the presidency. Your reaction. I think its ridiculous. I think its just another excuse. I dont believe it. Lets take a moment to go over what we do know and dont know. The stories in the Washington Post and the New York Times here at cnn and elsewhere are dependent on Anonymous Sources.
