visited the holocaust museum and called a news conference. the horrors of the holocaust having that some people don t are something that some people don t believe happened and some people deny. there are no comparisons to the holocaust. there are words that i ve said and remarks that i ve made that i know are offensive and for that i want to apologize. howie: separately, this is not close to being in the same category, chuck schumer on a podcast used an offensive word for mentally impaired people. when i first was assemblyman i wanted to billed a living place for retarded children. the whole neighborhood was against it. these were harmless kids. they just needed help. howie: schumer apologized the next day, saying he was sorry for the use of the outdatend and hurt full language. joining us now, mike emanuel. plenty are dismissing the marjorie taylor green apology
.delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. howie: the wuhan lab leak theory, the one that the mainstream media largely ignored or marginalized for over a year, just got an unexpected booster on late night tv.
faith. david axlerod said it was a silly mistake and he was joe biden was doing what all politicians feel and this time he actually said and everyone should calm down. this was the kind of response we were getting. it was completely absurd. howie: what things you so confident what makes you so confident. it s a completely fair question. he didn t have to take it. did biden redeem himself by making the apology which cnn seemed to love. cnn talked about it a lot. presidents don t usually apologize. the framing of the a apology became the story among cnn and others in the media and i guess it was good he apologized, as you mentioned they don t normally apologize. what it shows is that joe biden is just like any other president, whether it s trump, obama, bush, they don t like to have these kind of to be pushed by the press. and what we have to understand is that the press needs to be doing that. the problem is, when the press then goes after the press for
getting together, you mentioned the what aboutism and the shamelessness of vladimir putin. there was a references in the montage to the helsinki summit which i thought was a low moment in the trump presidency but while talks in the word of a president is important, it matters, results matter more and the fact is, in the last week or two we ve seen a pipeline green lit by the biden administration or at least they ve held off on sanctions which is a big, big, geopolitical strategic win for vladimir putin and then they ve also announced the biden administration that they are freezing at least for now some military aid to ukraine which seems like a pretty big deal. i know russia said they were drawing down some troops and let s keep an eye on it but results matter a lot and the media needs to focus on that. howie: even liberal commentators said there were no concrete results but they liked
psycho analysis i m not going to put too much weight on what president biden is saying off the cuff. this was an off-the-cuff moment. of course they should ask challenging questions and joe biden if you re comparing the kinds of questions that, say, a jim acosta was asking donald trump to katlyn collins who replaced him as the new white house correspondent, katlyn collins is asking fair questions, peter acosta was asking absurd, off the wall questions that was there to feed the resistance on twitter. reporters should ask challenging, fair questions as you say. the idea that a president should feel that kind of questioning is negative or inappropriate is completely over the top. howie: biden gets generally favorable coverage. any president can get donald trump was much tougher on reporters, accusing them of unfair questions but he got much worse coverage. steve krakauer, thank you.
