harass and look at this event that was mocked by right wing media. there are new headlines about rupert murdoch snubbing donald trump and there s new headlines about the story about elon musk. joining us to make sense of it all tara pal mary, the senior correspondent at puck, oliver garsy and elizabeth mayo, former online communications director at the rnc. protesters are gathering at the steps of the u.s. capitol to advocate for legislation that s stalled in the senate. you see pictures of the protest under way on the steps of the capitol. they re advocating for the passage of legislation to provide funding for veterans who have suffered from toxic burn pits in iraq and other previous wars. this exposure bill was stalled the other day by republicans. let s be honest about this, tara. this would not be as big a story were it not for jon stewart. he s used his celebrity status to force this to be a national news story. absolutely. the way he handles it, he s so direct. he
floor a bill that would deal with gas prices and targeting the saudi oil cartel. that s standing out here if you look at what jamie has tweeted. another vote on this is scheduled on monday and it s expected to pass tomorrow. oliver, let s look at a front page story in the new york times and washington post. both papers highlighting fox news and donald trump. they had a mutually benefit relationship, but it s changing. they re pointing out that fox news didn t show donald trump s big return to d.c. speech live. i counted 17 minutes of mike pence s speech, 0 minutes at fox. when i called a source at fox, they said it s not a coincidence. it s unlikely that fox will specifically come out against donald trump. they can dim the spotlight they put on him and shine the spotlight brighter on other
he denied the report. he mocked the journal. it set off a series of questions. why was it fit for the wall street journal ? do you think that s a good question? hard to imagine if it was anyone but musk it would be on the front page. why was it worthy? they would argue it has business ramifications because sergei pulled some of his interests from musk s businesses. usually you see this reporting on someone s personal life on page six. you used to work for page six. you used to write about me. is this fair material? i think so for the reasons oliver said. they leaned into the financial implications. you don t know how much of the investment it is. is he going to pull it? so many of the questions about
ads against the press. watch. we have to beat the media. the media calls us racist for wanting to build trump s wall. let s send the corrupt news a lesson. there s terry lake and other candidates. oliver, do you see a difference? i think the viciousness has certainly ramped up. we ve seen it ramp up as the conservative media infrastructure has grown in power. they no longer need to play ball with magazines for profiles or newspapers. they can go on fox or the number of other outlets on the right to give them the glowing coverage they want. oliver, tara, thanks very much. are you tired of hearing talking heads speculate about the economic? we booked a real expert. paul krugman is up next. plus a single tweet that set
important show. oliver, your thoughts. it s interesting how he s using conservative media to apply pressure to the republicans who voted against this bill. he was on news max. he was on fox. he knows the voters who support ted cruz they re watching fox. he said, fox hasn t had me on yet which pressured fox into booking him. let s play the video. he s coming on the shows on his phone, in his car, on the new jersey turnpike. it s very relatable. it s unique visually. liz, there is some criticism from conservatives. here s matt whitlock. jon stewart could be an effective voice, but at the end of the day it s a partisan hack to push information from the left. that s from matt whitlock, formerly of the nrsc. there s an argument that jon
