ager error in the Michael Cohen's story details ahead i from angle special the
left and lawlessness one of the reasons the left is able to get away with so
much is because the media let them off the hook case in point
last month the broadcast networks went wild over a report that Michael Cohen
was preparing to tell investigators the president Trump had advanced knowledge
of that infamous meeting between Trump tower at Trump Tower between Donald
Trump jr. and a Russian attorney here's a montage put together by the
media Research Center bombshell president Trump's longtime lawyer ready
to deliver the goods sources tell ABC News the Michael Cohen claims that
Donald Trump had advanced knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting Michael Cohen
the president's former attorney and fixer claims that then candidate Donald
Trump was aware of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with the Russians
before it happened and Michael Cohen claims president Trump knew of the
controversial 2016 meeting with Russians that were expecting to give the campaign
dirt on Hillary Clinton there was only one problem with the story it wasn't
true here's what Michael Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis said earlier this
week so Michael Cohen does not have information that President Trump knew
about Beach from tower meeting with the Russians beforehand or you know it is
not and here are all the corrections that ran yeah there weren't any so
joining me now for reaction is Howard Kurtz host of Fox News's media buzz
Howard thank you so much for joining us here when you see this situation I mean
the media was just oh they've got their aha moment they knew they had him on
this one and they ran it and they ran it and they ran it and then the al Cowen's
attorney is saying that it wasn't true yeah and we now know that it wasn't true
Koen doesn't claim was true lanny davis says it's not true all that whole
montage you just played comes from a CNN story CNN was the one that broke this
exclusive story still hasn't been corrected and you know a major problem
Jason with the coverage of the Trump presidency is that some news
organizations have lowered the bar for what they publish they're too quick to
run and gun they're too quick to put out allegations based on unnamed sources
that sometimes turn out not to be true CNN had a problem with that last year
when at a fire three journalists over an unsubstantiated story on Anthony's Kara
Moochie I asked CNN for comment this morning have it or anything back no
public statement well now the New York Post is out with
the story saying that it was actually Cohen who was the person who had
confirmed the story in the first place they must have known that Howard how
could they not ask him or question him about that hey you confirmed this the
first time and now you're saying it's not true if it doesn't the media if they
know that don't they have an obligation a duty to then follow up with that
second question and produce the appropriate apology or absolutely but I
would say don't hold your breath and you know it's so ironic because every single
day many news organizations and sometimes it's part of our job hammer
the White House oh well you were wrong on there to press the president lying
about that why won't you come clean I mean it kind
of dominates a lot of the coverage and in the time of investigations you might
expect some of that but when I am mber of the media we all make mistakes but
when there is a mistake on a story of this magnitude claiming advanced
knowledge this drum tower meeting suddenly you don't see that same zeal to
correct now Lanny Davis who as we mentioned the cones attorney has said
that he was an anonymous source for CNN he believes he was trying to wave the
network off the story maybe he wasn't clear enough he's told me that he
regrets that but then CNN should come out and talk about that instead of say
we now retract the story again no public comment from the network yeah that's
what I meant to say is Lanny Davis not Cohen I mean he's supposed to be
representing him as the attorney and it not clear I mean its heart of black and
white in this situation I want to go back to one that always bothered me and
I've always wanted to ask you this but way back when in the day look at this
time magazine this is this is a cover story red-handed
with Donald Trump jr. making them look really ominous I mean there is still a
question about this what do you make of that I mean Time magazine goes to great
lengths it's so inflammatory and even now we're ending up maybe not even true
I have lost track of all the time magazine covers that make President
Trump and in this case a member of his family look absolutely awful I presume
that cover was from a time of the Trump Tower meeting when Donald Trump jr. and
Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner had that meeting with the Russian lawyer and look
you know the fact they took the meeting is very controversial it did appear they
were looking for dirt on Hillary Clinton it went nowhere but you know it's a very
accusatory cover and of course you find the obligatory unflattering picture to
go with it one last very quick question when Donald Trump talks about fake news
and you look at the people in the heartland of America they figure this
out don't they don't they figure this out how I don't they understand that
maybe the media is just way too zealous they're too quick on the draw and there
is a double standard well I think a long time ago many people in this country
figured out that the media are a little bit tougher on your part of the
Republican Party and I also think that fake news and I never particularly liked
the term in fact in that interview with Fox this Ainslie era President Trump now
says 80% of the media are fake news to me fake is fabricated deliberately
made-up I we don't really see very much of that but we do see a lot of is
unrelentingly negative coverage of this president sometimes biased coverage
sometimes outrageous commentary he gives it back of course he has every right to
do that sometimes he goes a little far in his
rhetoric but but to answer your question yeah the media have lost a whole lot of
confidence of a major chunk of the country became and it's it's sort of on
steroids in the Trump ear yeah that's right
Hallie thank you very much your show media buzz airs 11:00 a.m. Eastern on
Sundays look forward to it thanks Jason president Trump's recent
tough talk aimed at Jeff Sessions is producing some distressing headlines in
the mainstream media press such as this one in the Washington Post critics
feared Trump's attacks are doing lasting damage to the just
this system really joining me for a debate are Professor Charles Kesler with
the Claremont Institute and attorney John R yon he started Jan Ronis I really
do appreciate you gentlemen being here tonight like Donald Trump was elected to
be a disruptive president right I mean he was elected to come in and not do the
status quo now some would obviously argue with maybe some of his tactics his
tweets his aggressive nature but that was wasn't he I mean that is what he was
elected to do was it not John I want to give you the first first stab at this
well I don't recall anybody suggesting that he was elected to be the disruptive
president that he's become quite frankly he's ahead of the he's ahead of
government he's ahead of the executive branch he's in his vitriol and
criticizing of for example law enforcement judges prosecutors
intelligence services in the way which he does it this does not advance the
cause of democracy we are the most civil ordered government on earth we are and
we've been taught to be proud of our government we should be we have a
wonderful government but for the president that single-handedly
criticized the the people that have worked for him in the manner which he
does advances nothing I mean look what he did how he embarrassed Rex Tillerson
look how he's he's integrated Jeff Sessions look how he suggested the
intelligence services the law enforcement agencies the prosecutors
around the country have been engaging in conspiracies this does not advance the
cause of the democracy we've been taught to expect out of a president sorry
Charles what's your take on this well the
president has a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed that
means he's in charge of the whole executive branch he and he alone is has
the power and the duty to judge the performance of his Attorney General and
of his intelligence agencies he alone has the ability to classify material to
declassify it and to grant clearances for people in his administration and
even people like John Brennan in previous administrations it seems to me
he's doing his job yeah Charles he was supposed to change the political
Norm's is he doing that is that a good thing or a bad thing in your book well I
think it depends on what the norms are many great strong presidents have been
norm breakers from Andrew Jackson to Abraham Lincoln in his own way to Harry
Truman to FDR it's not unusual for presidents to
change the way they do the job because the the job of president doesn't come
with a manual a how-to manual and it has to adjust to the personality and the
times of the occupant and as long as he remains faithful to the Constitution and
to the common good the president gets to make up a lot of his his own job
requirements and performance so Jan do you believe that the resistance movement
no matter what the president does no matter what the president says we're
gonna resist it all levels we're gonna go after this I've my words not somebody
else's a scorched-earth type of philosophy that says we can't let
anybody have any victory in any place do you really think that that's resonating
with the American people because the economy's been getting better and I
think on foreign policy you can argue it's a much safer place than it was when
that from the time Donald Trump took over well I'm not suggesting I think
quite frankly Donald Trump has been his own worst enemy I mean look he came and
he came into the office having an opportunity to be a really great
president but the the manner in which he's taken to electronic means of
communication to denigrate know what is a resistance movement yeah I mean the
Democrats on the other side of the aisle are say we're gonna resist at everything
and we're going to have this scorched earth philosophy is that effective in
communicating if you're gonna be critical of Donald Trump right for being
a vitriolic type of personality and you know these mean tweets
it's a resistance movement I mean let's go pick on you know yell at people while
they're eating dinner is that really what you think is gonna be the winning
formula for tonight I don't think that it that you ought to resist every effort
of the president I say just as I thought the Republicans should not have resisted
as they did everything that that President Obama proposed during his
presidency what he didn't say that that's not true I've listened even
even I believe the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed that he was
never going to let President Obama have any success the Democrats have not been
nearly his mom bastok in their opposition to Donald Trump as the as
Republicans were with President Obama's funniest thing I've heard tonight but I
really do appreciate you gentlemen coming to join us tonight but that is
just absolutely not true thank you gentlemen both I appreciate it it's
