he died exactly 3 month 3 years ago december he wrote about this dying journalism and because of the partisanship taking it over and the basics of journalism of facts of being neutral of being impartial was going by the wayside he didn't if i did the arjun's of this with the in the reagan administration with the rise of right wing talk radio but then he came to see that especially during the obama administration and it really took off going to trump and station that the democrats were doing the same if not worse than what the right wing had done and when i say democrats i don't i don't call them left i think the democrats a center right but in that nonetheless they're certainly the other party and both sides are using other democrats because there's more or democratic t.v. meticulous and newspapers and there are republican i mean you just look at this think it's not only m.s.n. b.c. but let's look at c.n.n. for a moment i divide your viewers peter to go to you tube and look up i think it was june 1st 1980 the very 1st broadcast cable network news they had lots of news reports they had an interview with jimmy carter they had a report from the middle east looking critically at israeli politics they even had like a 15 minute investigative report about faulty fuel gauges on commercial airlines know the words they would journalism can be done on tell needs look at all we have now on c.n.n. we have crying on the air had judy elation because their candidate won it was an embarrassment. and i have something to say about biden later in the one thing i'm sure that a commodity that standard. that's the main point i want to make it's a beginning here steve you know the but you know when when there's just that mission when you know the bite campaign is it needed that hunter was under investigation actually been under investigation for 2 years where was the mainstream media and i'm thinking of them as a me thing and c.n.n. particularly well why didn't they say we have to apologize to our viewers in fact there is these were this is a real story and we need to cover it but they can't even do that i mean when i'm already now is that they're probably you 2 is going through and deleting all of those videos because there's some ashamed of themselves they should be but they're not go ahead well as you don't correctly said journalism is dead the media as we thought it existed although it never existed as we'd like to believe it existed even back to cronkite days in the 3 network newscasts it was never down the middle if you look back and these people certainly had biases if you look back but it said it's done but the junk is instead of admitting it and generally new to that it's you know it goes back to the gentleman who unfortunately passed that it goes back to the reagan administration and right wing talk radio but that talk radio host of which imo i won and was run back then never called ourselves journalists we would talk show host we had an opinion we're supposed to that's what we did and do but these people like jake tapper and rachel maddow and the rest of them on m s n b c c.n.n. and throughout the media stephanopoulos all of them on a b c well call themselves and to call themselves journalists the gent tapper said literally thank you supreme court thank you for when they wouldn't take the pennsylvania case last week because you saying my parents once my parents were going to be disenfranchised they live in pennsylvania thank you and that's just a little small nothing example they do an hour after hour day of. day so that you know during all of them but back then you're back adequate and they are journalist david so and so what is their mission here their mission is not to learn form the public so what is their mission is their mission of do they just. will willingly willfully how billy and become very rich just being an extension of the political class is that i mean do they see that is that what their role is right now is that really kind of grease the works or for the people that pay oh go ahead there's in my mind there's no doubt about that the amount of money that these journalists get paid if you realise it's not journalism it's entertainment they have a vested interest in securing their space but it's beyond misinformation it's redirection it is almost indoctrination and you say they were actually on twitter blocking the link to the new york post story and they were blocking it in dns so you can even share that information if you want and they were moving the links and then 3 weeks later after the damage has been done because we now know that you don't need to look for voting machines for election interference you don't need to look for algorithms and and plug in software you don't have to look media russians are like you know jokes aside i was just watching online how dr atlas was shamed for having given an interview on our t.v. by c.n.n. because they referred to r.t. as russian propaganda you know i see a concession through projection not recognizing or trying to conceal the fact that they are left wing propaganda there to support a candidate and a purpose or a cause of journalism and talk about the f.b.i. being that you know investigating this for 2 years we've seen in michael flynn the f.b.i. has been politicized media has been politicized journalism has been politicized it is no longer about misinformation it is actually a vote over misinformation and censorship and it's ok go ahead steve jump in i was going to impute a quite you know how many journalists do i mean you know reporters journalists at the new york times where i've been all over the new iraq you could point to any. they're not about group investigation of hunter biden for 2 years. then i really think at least that one time there are there might make up something jeffrey and accomplish are lacking in repealing that birth agree there had to be many such reporters who knew about this and decided to do nothing with it for 2 years beyond the strategic leaking and that's what it's all but came to joe but you know it's interesting from what we've heard from all of you that the media is in the service of media and people that pay him and pay them in their donors here but what about the public because the public is not as dumb is these people think i mean they feel so superior intellectually superior morally superior that they think it about who they're talking to and and i think that they will they are ruining the day because you know if we look at this election which is not the topic of this program here but there's a lot of disillusion people here because of the role of the media go ahead joe there's no question about that but they are speaking to their own camps and they are confirming their biases and this is a very dangerous thing obviously if you're not getting a counter. viewpoint on an issue i just want to say one thing about the hunting budget i just started in 2019 when there isn't it was came around to you peter on your show consider news we were right about charisma 2014 when it's right. when when suddenly we knew about some that victoria nuland tape and this by the way is a bipartisan agreement to not mention that the opening act of this whole drama was the coup that united states helped arrange in ukraine and as soon as it happened we heard from newlyn that joe biden was the point man he shows up like in 1000 century colonial situation start giving out job see your cronies and coding his son somehow i'm not saying i know that biden got in that job that clearly biden being the guy in charge it was the viceroy of ukraine and suddenly jeffrey archer who. a friend of the kerry family gets a job monsanto gets in an american becomes a finance minister the day after she becomes ukrainian cities they took over the country and it's funny because biden may have to fire 2 prosecutors now peter have got one in ukraine fired and they have to get one in america fired to protect the son and maybe himself jokes i have to say and i want to compliment you and consortium news and dot com because as you just said you and i were talking about that and when when the when the impeachment quota what is this fake impeachment thing i just wonder i was jumping up and doesn't do it don't you ever watch crosstalk don't you ever read joe's work we've been talking about this for years and they're making it sound like this came out of all nowhere ok is it the exact. opposite and i want to also point out that this web site supported neither candidate we are nonpartisan and i've never been a fan of trump or biden i don't like either as an easy to be nonpartisan when you can stand in the party but if you recall back in 2 years ago on business started coming up jane meyer in the new yorker about the speech saying was all debunked that biden has never been investigated how can something be debunked before it's even investigated to the point when he got his feet here that's the point here i mean you had p.b.s. and yet seen an unsafe they're not going to investigate it debunks story how do you know it's debunked if you haven't investigated it steve i don't but not on a regular compound had i reckon if they had a written carpenter with. hunter by human hair and then a nerd like a monkey didn't exist that could never happen and they had a computer right and that there are a lot of air presses on c.n.n. and there are that computer and computer and some snaps of the russian empire russian propaganda i mean people learned that they can do anything and i know you don't want to you know we're not talking politics here but you can't i don't believe rhythm. the politics of her don't know where i live there has been building projects there's a lot her don't know where are the other trump and when people are barely and can't republic that trump of the nazi or racist an authoritative. threat to democracy a threat to the country existential threat. people we have justified in sowing and doing anything to destroy our. clothing including land on this before we go to the break here including it justify it appear justified google and twitter and facebook to to abuse their to 30 cut out and you know and for all the talk of election meddling and there is outside countries too that meddle in american politics russia is not in the top 10 maybe not even the top 20 but there is a lot of meddling here but in this election here people understand that it was be tech and the media played a very big role in here and we will rue the day and still coming here are you gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion and media malpractise statement urging. calibers. to demonstrate is right now the propaganda machine. it's always russian. miracle. to go go go go. they still won't come. to the way. the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage give many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city voters turned out and told me stay way out almost all of the food if there is no answer because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable were abandoned on the streets to become invisible clubs. welcome back to cross talk where all the things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing media malpractise. ok let's go back to david david. important issue that we haven't discussed so far on how the the media managed tech. weeks before the election in favor of the biden campaign and of the democrats on the side and didn't do too well for the death. state of it that's a topic for another program there were 50. now national intelligence officials that came out in politico and debunked they said this is just. beastly reminiscent of russia meddling in the 0 in the in politics in the united states number one where all 50 of them given access to this information i doubt it because none of them quoted it but what the interesting thing is that when we come to today over the last few days when the when it was revealed that in fact hunter is under investigation for tax issues and maybe others where do these 50 intelligence officials stand right now are they just liars. going back to something earlier it's not just i would say i don't what do you think i mean you can agree with me or just a great thing you can to me but i mean so i you know the media people they're not too bright and you know and they're paid so much money to do whatever they're told and their careers are on the line i get that ok the democrats will do anything for power ok but now i'm talking about people that say they have a commitment to the national security of the united states that have probably a 1000 years collectively in careers here and they came out and said i find that terribly dangerous you can agree and disagree with me but i think that's an important point no 100 percent but i say without commenting on that all you need to do to understand that is to go look at the michael flynn judicial saga. doctoring documents in order to get the pfizer wants that they want against their political adversaries to pursue their political adversaries while you know everything else they slip under the rug so it's easy to understand how and why it can happen once you fully appreciate as i do now having documented the michael flynn saga how weaponized and how corrupt the invent the prosecutorial system is itself and for people don't appreciate this the f.b.i. you have the f.b.i. attorney in michael flynn altering the documents to facilitate obtaining a pfizer warrant against. against the current page and now you can ask how the same agents of justice can potentially be so partisan and so politicized themselves that they will weaponize their own prosecutorial process or weaponized not investigating it explains itself easily without knowing exactly what those 50 individuals said yeah but you know but joe did the danger and didn't see that one of the things i've noticed since the 2016 election all the way to the present here is that both parties have let the neo cons in ok and if it infiltrated both parties and so ok for to take joe across the line these 50 individuals made a judgement call for the cost for the cop their cause ok not the cause of democracy here but that did make that event itself opens the door to well what happens when another president vice people again and politicos saying i'm safe and then everyone will regret it one day everyone will when you hand the keys of power like that to an elected officials and people that are in the revolving door of a row people are against wars but it doesn't seem to matter because of those 50 people and people of their ilk go ahead joe well peter teligent agencies around the world engage in deception. which is a polite word for lying as you've been calling it the problem is journalists are supposed to be doing the opposite it's when they act as a conduit as a laundering of intelligence information because some people are skeptical of what intelligence agencies say but less so what the new york times says so if the times is reporting on a unnamed intel leaks from intelligence sources and they believe it they don't challenge it they don't have skepticism on because the publishers of these major media have the same class and elite interests as intelligent people are pushing and therefore they like to create. so-called enemies or exaggerate threats abroad and cover up u.s. aggression around the world and this is willingly done by sycophantic journalists who are careerists who are going to go along and not rock that boat if they want to get ahead so we've got a real problem john i expect intelligence agencies to lie i expect dryland and those lies but they don't they are just becoming an opinion that was played out in ukraine is being played out in the united states right now and you know up until you know under actually is under investigation it was working it really was working i mean if you look at public opinion you know they. go across the media's spectrum here lot of people still believe in all this nonsense are and they still believe that the new york times is running it i think as well that there are to structure here they can't let it go steve let me. go ahead steve because they have their own agenda too like i said maybe that you know they threw their hat in because of trump but we are politics is not always going to be about trump for good or and the fact that he arranged for everybody to drop out of that democratic primary race and get them by take them out and he's picking the agenda and it's going around by the way writing his book talking about how freedom of the press and conservative media is the number one threat to democracy so let's see where that leads them to calling the shots but could not have happened without the partnership if we had a reality as we've been mad you know all these years a media that you're going to looking in through questioning and going but not by this never could have happened we would have known the truth if people rented out accountable but not like you said the other guy on there is no meeting and there's no buffer zone and we're in trouble we're going this country. really good not i'm sure. and peter. for years when they knew the story it's beyond it's actually beyond not reporting on the story that you have are killing the story it's actually contradicting what is a known fact internally like they did with this hunter biden thing it's not just that they censor the links they also ran stories simultaneously saying it's russia this information when they knew internally that it wasn't and so if and even as recently as i think it was yesterday n.b.c. running a header saying you know confirming hunter is under criminal probe and then the next line of me repeats that donald trump and his allies repeated baseless claims about hunter corruption during the election they still try to spin it in a way that they know that the people who they have either successfully fooled or who don't want to know better are going to just digest it let's go to the next step now because while here but they would be president if he's writing you know the intelligence community ok all over again ok and you know considering the frailty of the man and other issues issues that he has here i wouldn't be surprised that in spring you know they say you know joe we got a real problem here ok we've got a real problem this ames is who's doing me investigating now i guess you could get an attorney general that will be pliant but then again you know we see this constant distrust trump in jail ok ask your he needs the presidency this is all happening in a short amount of turning people reviled george w. bush people written by old this everything is changing now it's because of the intelligence community and their capture of the media and centrally both parties. yeah well they're also the meddling in domestic affairs which is really the big issue here i'm not sure i agree that they will cause problems for biden because i think biden is going let go along with what the intelligence decided not to concede because he could undermine his presidency try to diligent him ice him and this is. i think republicans will now try to do to biden as payback and hunted by and they may very well be with especially if the republicans control the senate or our they they will have to continue to control sound they will have investigations there and i think that they will try to make a mess and that is just not a special prosecutor like i said before by maybe facing having to fire the suppressed a special prosecutor i absolutely you know made up of by united top of bat an eye on how i knew they were hardly bad and i and i want to make our of different a come from the last i think when this is comedic she was the chosen one she just ate the proposition that nobody liked her ok i opinion but by the media and by these d.c. characters as all the time we have gentlemen i want to thank my guests montreal new york and in sydney you know what i think of us watching as your r.t.c. an extent remember. that mr
