When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. In london Julian Assange standing trial on whether he will be extradited to the u. S. To face espionage charges the stakes could not be higher. Even life is on the line freedom of speech is also on trial though you wouldnt know the mainstream media. If you cant win every single time. On the American Economy the American Economy is not just buying. Theres labor involved people are families are values. That has to be respected at some point you simply cant. Give them 6789. 00 and expect them to do something thats not. An act of terrorism. This is a story of women women was troubled histories and. You know. The person that. The cheesiness of. The most dangerous of criminals shes in a civil. All the last 23 hours of the day tell me the condition. Of women on through.

B. S. Claimed was a New York Hospital was actually footage of a hospital from overseas go ahead lets give it a shot donald trump versus jim acosta accosted cherry picking the president out of context quotes was he influenced by an ad from a Left Wing Group well take a look im also incredibly appreciative push underway to stop broadcasting the Coronavirus Press conferences live c. N. N. Has already limited their coverage why and could the future of the news industry be in jeopardy because of the virus local ad dollars are drying up causing layoffs and pay cuts is facebook about to come to the rescue. Im Steve Malzberg lets see the press. By. Then welcome aboard everybody i want to start by wishing heartfelt best wishes to everyone out there who is suffering in any way from the coronavirus and to all those who have lost loved ones my condolences and all of our condolences go out to you art go out to you and i want to well so wish the best to chris cuomo of c. N. N. Who announced this past week that he has tested positive for the corona virus ive been harsh on him but all bets are off when it comes to this its a whole different. Story Everything Else goes out the window to get well everyone and get well chris right but now were all used to the you know the back and forth the confrontations between c. N. N. White house correspondent jim acosta and the president of the United States well earlier this week the president decided to give it one more try watch. Go ahead lets give it a shot. What do you say to americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis over the last couple of months we have a very much under control in this country the coronavirus is very much under control in the usa its going to disappear its like a miracle it will disappear and its people like you and c. N. N. That say things like that that its why people just dont want to listen to c. N. N. Email you could ask a normal question the statements i made are i want to keep the country i dont want panic in the country i could cause panic much better than even you i could do much of it would make you look like a Minor League Player but you know what i dont want to do that and instead of asking a nasty snarky question like that he should ask a real question. All right agreed nah i want you to watch something i want to show you something theres an anti trump spot that has been running all over the media put up by priorities usa action and a reportedly a george soros backed group and im going to run side by side some of the quotes that i brought up and trump quotes used in that ad and you decide if a cost got his talking points for that question from the ad watch we have a very much under control in this country we have a totally under control because its going to disappear its like a miracle it will disappear one day its like a miracle it will disappear were doing a great job with it it will go away with it with a great job so what do you think folks did he use the anti trump ad to take the one liners out of it out of context of course and then throw it at the president i believe he did and thats my opinion but you have to decide in the fascist suite is going to have more on that ahead by the way later on in the show now last sunday c. N. N. s jake tapper tweeted out that he was going to have the mayor of new york city go to blasio on his show on state of the union i didnt answer that tweet and i said so you know wondering you could ask bill de blasio tough questions about his horrible response to the outbreak of the coronavirus and i was pleasantly surprised by what i saw watch. Just go about your lives continue living as you have new yorkers should go about our lives continue doing what we do should not stop you from going about your life should not stop you from going to chinatown and going out to eat we want people still to go on about their lives. We want people to rest assured that a lot is being done to protect them. That last clip was from march 13th just about 2 weeks ago in retrospect is that message at least in part to blame for how rapidly d the virus has spread across the city jake we should not a focusing in my view on anything looking back on anything that makes me look bad and tapper kept at it watch mr mayor you say you dont think you should look backwards but youve criticized president truck for quote actions that are far far behind the curve kudos kudos to jake tapper i got to give him credit in shame on mayor bill de blasio and finally something i have never seen. On a night on a news show on television and it was craig maldon on of all places m s n b c watch but never actually done this on the air can you lead us in prayer for 30 seconds. Yes its all our fault that are we bar the instant you had the ability understanding that we are not competent in and of ourselves to handle this kind of global calamity so we look to your lord to be the source the spirits of help the light that weve made to strengthen all of 1st responder strips of the things of our broadcast People Stress that all of us whose lives have been devastated have disrupted so they give us the peace of this is all it is to him christ playing with terry. And me did had to explode it and i said b. C. I cant believe it good for mel that it was highly appropriate. Now and joining us now to discuss whats been going on in this crazy world of media is the president of accuracy in media Adam Gillette you can find him at 8 i am dot org and welcome aboard the i welcome back hey they have thank you so much for having me back live to be here. My pleasure lets pick up on that moment of prayer and its n. B. C. Now we just saw the negative reaction to the my pillow founder mike lindale who said a prayer and ask that people really embrace their religion at one of the recent pressers at the at the white house want you to watch i gave us grace on november 8th 2016 to change the course we were on god had been taken out of our schools and lives a nation to turn his back on god and i encourage you do since time at home to give them to home to get back in the word read our bibles and spend time with their families and heres just one example of the media trashing lindau and then granted and suster and blast him in return what did you think of the media treatment of my pillow guy after he made that prayer at the White House Well its exactly what youd expect of their base at m s n b c their base at the Washington Post the New York Times are rabid anti christian generally progressive so theyre just trying to virtue signal and appease that base put out content that that base wants to read if they reported accurately that a successful businessman promoted prayer at a white house meeting which really isnt particularly controversial their base wouldnt be that interested in it but if they go after him and slam moment attack him and attack christianity their base its right up. And heres a guy and who was a volunteer ring that his company was going to help with the coronavirus effort in making masks and medical supplies they ignored that and they just called and basically the my pillow guy whats he doing there well hes contributing but youre right they have that agenda and nothings going to stop them from their agenda now i want to move out of onto the the coal to stop. These president ial Task Force Press conferences daily briefings stop airing them live in their entirety watch i think regular information in times of crisis from the government on sort of a science and facts and policy are essential but i personally cant help but feel these daily sessions are are bad for the country and in even dangerous from Public Health perspective i have said that i dont think that you should really listen to what he says you should listen to what the experts say im not actually sure if you want to be honest that we should carry that live i think we should run snippets i think we should do it afterwards and get the pertinent points to the American People because hes never ever going to tell you the truth now and then made those remarks on monday night and then by tuesday c. N. N. Did already started to editing out the press conference you know its morally outrageous what has become incredibly clear is that particularly in an Election Year these are activists not journalists initially the charge against trump on handling this crisis was that he was absent he wasnt doing enough so trump starts giving regular briefings what happens his poll numbers go up will suddenly as soon as his poll numbers went out these press conferences became a big problem and the media decided well shoot hes doing too much we got to stop showing the press conferences i bet you anything if his polling numbers had suffered during the press conferences oh yeah they would be airing them back to back to back now that they see the political people are responding to him theyd probably like to run reruns of angel cuomo. Im absolutely and by it both c n n n m s n b c have now stopped taking all of the press conference its outrageous now i want to show you something that c. B. S. Did on c. B. S. This morning late lead like the end of march to get it they aired video claiming it was a new york City Hospital dealing with the corona virus but it actually had previously on sky news and it was from an Italian Hospital watch lets take a look. This is the main hospital in the thumb of coffins its one of the most advanced. And c. B. S. Acknowledged what they did i mean how does this happen. Well its unbelievable because yes we all make mistakes they make mistakes inserting videos theyre doing so many stories i make mistakes as my wife reminds me you make mistakes but its amazing that their mistakes always seem to fit the media narrative that theyre trying to put out there and they never missed it make a mistake in the opposite direction they never goof up and it triggered something positively to conservatives or to the president all of their mistakes seem to fit the same narrative its funny how that always works out and about your fine organization accuracy in media recently got buzz feed to make a change. Talk about what you guys did i see that they changed the headline they didnt go far enough but they did make a change talk about that you know we all but most of the c. B. S. Is the amas n. B. C. s but they largely preach to the choir in my opinion the most dangerous and most influential quote unquote news outlets out there are folks like buzz feed and now this because they have a following thats all across the ideological spectrum and theyre primarily followed by easily influenced young people after that story broke last week about the unfortunate man who consumed aquarium cleaner and died because it contained chloroquine phosphate some news outlets reigned with the story that i made a korean cleaner and died buzz feed ran with the headline a man died after self medicating with a drug that trump promoted as a potential treatment for the coronavirus trump promoted hydroxy chloroquine as a prop attentional treatment he never promoted aquarium cleaner and he never promoted phosphate and this is such a bad headline because not only is it searing the president but now if course if hydroxy chloroquine turns out to be a drug that could help people how many are going to be afraid to take it because they read a lying headline that it killed a man so we rallied or activists we went after them on twitter the email on facebook and they change the headline. Yeah no they did it congratulations kudos to you adam thank you very much and everybody go to a i am dot org and you can check out all the great work data accuracy media does so speak see you again soon. Ok folks we hope that piqued your appetite and i want you to stay right where you are for the main course which is coming up right after this break on to the press. Your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know whats going to them when its going to. But they havent told you and they havent told me they havent announced. Imagine something as big as the earth. Is going to cause tidal waves or earthquakes volcanoes erupt and its going to tell. So very for a while right. My great grandfathers quote. Nobody would care about the law or prison so youd have wallace the should have. A terrible life between now and the. End is community there are people who believe that its ok to suffer actual food on the table its really hard there are no jobs and you see that got kids asking and as a parent. I can come up with a possible. Theres a lot of conflict in the game between the close of the conflict i would say. Money and also that money has made. Us want to know each other on each other this could cost the state of california alone to make 6000000000. 00 and you have to prison complex and get some point in your life where. You dont care and want to buy cares about you so you dont care about anything. Now earlier in the show i showed you some clips from an ad that has been running in very heavy rotation all over the cable news media and its all about blaming president from for the advance of the coronavirus and here with more much more in fact on the spot is our tease natasha sweet a touch of what he got force. Well yeah steve even though president has been staying ahead of the curve helping the u. S. To defeat the crown a virus and eventually getting us all back to work the left is doing everything they can to somehow blame him for covert 19 and this anti trump ad from the soros funded priorities usa action will show you just how desperate they are to paint the president and negative lights this ad aired more than 1000 times over a week span of march 21st to the 27th according to Advertising Analytics priorities usa was the top advertiser for the week they spent 6000000. 00 airing the initial ad and the liberal super pac has pledged to spend a whopping 150000000 in the 20 twentieths cycle supporting the democratic nominee and against President Trump the coronavirus this is their new home we have a totally under control one person coming in from china one day its like the miracle that will disappear when you have 15 people and within a couple of days its going to be down to close to 0 you know we think youve done a great job of keeping it down to a minimal i like this stuff i really get to the surprise that i understood you know i dont take responsibility at all now it doesnt take a genius to see that ad was pieced together by many sound bites taken out of context theres no question the coronavirus narrative changes each day sometimes by the hour even advice from the center for Disease Control and prevention is being looked into regarding masks initially wherein one was not recommended and this week were hearing a different tune from Health Professionals and city leaders who will finance democratic super pac is targeting ads in the 4 major swing states of florida michigan pennsylvania and wisconsin for new creatives that launched march 24th that will run through april 6th are focusing on President Trumps response to the crisis and how joe biden would do things differently news busters also reporting more news coming from soros but this time from his progressive outlet called open democracy apparently theyre using this. Time of crisis to insert their propaganda against the family unit they claim this pandemic may have revealed the limitations of the private Single Family households and they actually even had the nerve to suggest abolish the family and the private household citing an increase in Domestic Violence as families stay home the article says quote the private family quote mode of social reproduction still frankly sucks it genders nationalizes and races us it norms us for Productive Work it makes us believe we are individuals or many would argue that faith family and values are the very things which built our country having a family and the ability to work are all blessings and part of the american dream. And its interesting in that article suggests working in is a bad thing during a time when many people would simply love to have their jobs back steve. Excellent report and excellent take on this and i got to say theres no one virus related ad like this week and that nonsense you just feel this is not so misleading but you know they have every right to run it every right to institutes view that information not sure steve you know under the 1st amendment you are completely right even though the ad is very deceiving and clearly edited to discredit president travel but will it be enough to impact the president s chances of reelection of course only time will tell but with a 50 percent Approval Rating for the initial stages of a crisis and an overall increase in Approval Ratings id say
