americans. when the economy goes up, that helps all americans. when we are safer at home and abroad, it helps all americans, and they play divisive politics every single day. howie: turncoat republicans and former republicans you say have flood our airways. jennifer ruben you mention, george will, nicole wallace desperately wants to be loved by the trump-hating viewers at msnbc. why can t you just say they are ex republicans who disagree with trump instead of disparaging them in such a harsh fashion. corey: because they have such a hatred for the president they can t get past that s hatred. calling jennifer ruben a con is
dead. howie: that that roiter s photo gave fuel to the president s critics. gillian: that this is near the american border is quite frightening. but the border is something that the media gets wrong on all sides. it s either an epic threat or humanitarian crisis. it s difficult sometimes for the media to accept the idea that more than one reality or one truth can be effort at a time. sometimes things are not so clear-cut. howie: on that point, it s not wrong to say president trump heavily pushed the caravan to
get his voters out in the mid terms. that may be true. but doesn t this attack show the media s dismissive approach that the caravan was nothing wasn t right. that narrative fell apart in an upsetting way. you cannot blame the press for disseminating them. but at the same time there were several years over the course of the obama administration where tear gas was used 20 times. and people have thrown rocks and bottles at the border patrol before. but the narrative that the caravan posed no threat to the u.s. border and would never arrive and it would only be a few people did not come to pass. howie: border patrol agents were using the tear gas after they
lead, posing great risk to the people near the sites. howie: the matter is being addressed internally for those involved. it s not unusual for producers to discuss pitches, but providing scripts in advance is journalistic breach. cnn fired mark lamont hill for a u.n. speech where he accused is rate of an ethnic cleansing. it will give us what justice requires, and that is a free palestine from the river to the sea.
there is the president of the united states. there he is. committing the crime of obstruction of justice in plain sight. he is willfully obstructing robert mueller s pursuit of justice in the manafort case. robert mueller s prosecutors are threatening elderly men with life in prison. the whole thing is a grotesque joke. howie: is the media chatter justified? plus, the legacy of george h.w. bush. in the end, he was celebrated by the media. i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz.
