are talking about how there are 17 intelligence agencies that concurred on russia collusion in the election. there are 16 agencies plus the director of national intelligence. there were three relevant agencies that did the investigation into the cia. eric: what does this do to the view of journalism? it means that you cannot separate the journalists who make mistakes. correcting them. you have to be careful. on the other hand, a media segment, i wanted to bring up that the media has to be very, very careful to be accurate and double check everything. that does not take away the basic role of journalism, which is to look at the very basic, what the president says, is it correct? president trump often says things that aren t true. in a statement or twitter. it is not hostile to correct it.
this is a media segment, on the journalist to get something right. i think the story, as judy noted and the new york times noted, had parts that had to be retracted. there is a huge responsibility for a paper with all of the resources it has all of the editors and fire power it has to get things right and deal with sources in a fair way so that sources have a chance to reply before a story is published in a way they could fully understand what the story is about. i think, let s just stick to that for the moment because i think that is where the politics of this is. the damaging story was put out by the new york times and they said in the letter you cannot unwind it or you cannot put the toothpaste back in the tube once it is out and people often remember the first story not the

i, and i m speaking for bernie now and he can correct me in a moment if i m wrong. what bernie and i are trying to get across with this media segment every week is that many in the media, powerful people don t want to tell the truth to the people. it s more important to them to get their ideology in play than to let the folks know what the truth is that s a total change from what the media was 30 or 40 years ago. that s pretty close to my position although i don t know if you are suggesting that they consciously wake up in the morning and say i m going to try to help barack obama. no, they don t do that. but they consciously wake up in the morning and they say: i m not going to report things that might ideology look bad. i don t know that they consciously do it but they do it. they do it. look, can i give you another you like facts. let me give you another example there is a piece in the current edition of the
