republicans concerned. there is an important distinction to draw between bad stories, crappy coverage and the right citizens have to argue about that and complain about that, and trying to weapon ize distrust. reporter: senior white house official argued the wrestling video was not a threat. beating up on the media, you re in charge of homeland security there. that seems like a threat. certainly not, though. i think that no one would perceive that as a threat. i hope they don t. but i do think that he s beaten up in a way on cable platforms. he has a right to respond to. reporter: the white house argues that the media is spending too much time on the president s tweets instead of his other priorities. they don t cover the substance of the issues. look, i know it s a heck of a lot easier to cover 140 characters here or there or what the president may be saying about the media here or there than it is to learn the finer points of how medicaid is funded in this country. repo
