administration is so bias, so off target that there s no way that he could ever entrust his message to the traditional media. sure. and as they become more irrelevant, i think they re just spinning out of control, and it s frankly their own fault. it s not donald trump s fault. it s their fault font having an objective and a genuinely honest source of news for the american public. yeah. highs role s been to suppose them. abby: you re in jerusalem. maybe you missed snl last night. i saw some of the clips online. even here you can still see the clips online. here s what i think happened. snl sometimes can be funny. but they don t know where the line is between funny and hostile and bitter intent toward people that they don t like.
other members putting out these falsehoods. even if she was just misspeaking, she was causing people to be afraid. one more point about cnn. she was offered the state of the union, cnn declined to have her on the network today. i thought that was very notable. doesn t mean she won t be on in the coming days. it s not a totally freeze out of cnn but it does seem a form of punishment, an attempt by the white house to punish news outlets that does not favor. if the goal is to starve cnn of ratings, i can tell you it s not working. let s look at snl last night. we got to watch sean spicer. let s watch this clip and talk about it. okay. we ll do a couple questions. go. glenn, new york times. boo, go ahead. yeah, i wanted to ask about travel ban on muslims. it s not a ban. i m sorry. it s not ban. the travel ban is not a ban which makes it not a ban.
me now from new york. no doubt, brian, this is scathing and very insulting, of course. i think hard for anyone, if they had this said about them, to not smart a little bit, but when you re president, you have to learn to have a very thick skin. why can t donald trump just kind of help himself? in some cases just not to respond. not comment. i think americans are experiencing whiplash now, brianna. it wasn t too longing a presidents didn t tweet ba there was no twitter or facebook. now, of course, president obama has a twitter account but uses it sparingly. mostly to comment on issues of national importance. precede lect tru precede-elect trump doing things ditchly. said i woke up and watched parts of snl last night. totally one-sided, biased, nothing funny at all. he says, equal time for us? equal time, a government rule allowing presidential candidates to get equal time. when trump went on snl as a candidate, his rival the given
if donald trump is coming he says he ll reject that. we ll talk about that next hour. it is a done deal but it s not in a sense. reporter: that s right. regulators in d.c. have to approve it. it will take about a year to go through the d.c. approval process. we ll get to donald trump next hour. sounds good. brian stelter, sounds good. you can watch his show reliable sources later on at 11:00 a.m. on cnn. this morning we have new information on the massive cyber attack that infiltrated devices in your home. we know that tens of millions of i.p. addresses were used to take down popular sites like twitter and netflix. now hackers used malware to hit the company in three ways causing outages that many of the internet sources tracked the websites. some political satire from snl last night. let s talk immigration.
presidential debate. i m martha raddatz. and i m anderson cooper. and before we begin, we just need to do one last thing. [ laughter ] much better. now let s get this nightmare started. sometimes it feels like you need just a nice warm shot to get things going. for the, as they called it, the worst ever presidential debate. saturday night live not holding back when it comes to the state of this election. yeah. last night they took on not only the debate, which should point out, but some recent accusations and some missteps on both candidates part. cnn s senior media correspondent brian stelter breaking it all down. this is where you have fun with your job, brian. oh, for sure. and we need it this week. we ve got to dig deep this week to find some laughs after all the things we ve heard during this season of this election. but snl last night did try to recreate the debate. oftentimes just using the candidates own words.
