Im erin burnett. Out front tonight, trump lashing out. President trump and a remarkable first solo press conference insisting with little warning to his own staff op taking his own message straight to the people. The president spoke for one hour and 15 minutes. He actually ranted for 24 minutes before he even took the first question. He said hes made, quote, incredible progress in four weeks. He complained about inheriting a mess from president obama, but a huge part of the press conference was devoted to airing his grievances especially against what he calls the very dishonest media. The press has become so dishonest. The press honestly is out of control. I turn on the tv, open the newspaper, and i see stories of chaos. Chaos. Yet it is the exact opposite. This administration is running like a finetuned machine. Finetuned machine. Well, one republican lawmaker gave his reaction to the president S Performance to us, saying, quote, were just trying to manage this bleep. The people that
Goonies never say die. This is the cbs evening news with jeff glor. Glor and this is our western edition. Good evening. Its the alabama election with an impact across the country. Doug jones is heading to the u. S. Senate. He narrowly defeated republican roy moore by 1. 5 points. Moore still hasnt conceded. When jones takes office next month, the republican advantage in the senate will shrink to just one seat, 5149. That will make it more difficult for President Trump to get his agenda passed. Still, he phoned jones to offer his congratulations and mr. Trump took some consolation in reminding folks that he once predicted correctly that moore couldnt win. We begin tonight with Manuel Bojorquez in alabama. Reporter alabama voters rolled back the political tides yesterday. I have always believed that the people of alabama have more in common than divides us. Reporter doug jones won, but not because roy moore supporters stayed home.

How ai could find the drug that cures you disease. And a cold war story of a different kind.

Attention focused on two freshmen democratic members of congress. Both are muslim and made critical statements about israel and the most american supporters. Their tweets have been portrayed by some as not simply criticisms but rather evidence of a rising tide of antisemitism ton the nw left.
