WATCHING THE NET WORKS.
NO BETTER PERSON TO ASK THAN AR
AIR,A -- THAN ARI FLEISCHER.
I DIDN’T COME UP WITH THAT IDEA
TO BUMP INTO YOUR SEGMENT.
YOU WROTE ABOUT IT IN YOUR BOOK.
WHY IS THAT EMBLEMATIC OF THE
REASON YOU WROTE IT.
>> I WANTED TO BEGIN MY BACK TO
WITH THAT SEGMENT BECAUSE IT
CAPTURES EVERYTHING WRONG WITH
THE MEDIA.
HOW CAN ANYBODY IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE DO THAT.
IT CONTINUES WITH DON LEMON
SAYING THANKS, I NEEDED THAT.
WHAT NEWSROOM THINKS THAT IT
MAKES JOURNALISTIC SUCCESS TO
MOCK HALF THE COUNTRY.
BRIAN: IF THEY DON’T THINK LIKE
ME, THEY ARE IDIOTS AND MORONS.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES WHETHER IT’S TRUMP OR THE
MAN YOU WORKED FOR, GEORGE W.
BUSH.
MOST OF THE MEDIA IN THE STUDIES
YOU FOUND ARE DEMOCRATS.
NOT ONLY DO THEY KNOCK
REPUBLICANS, THEY SEEM TO HATE
THEM.
>> THE MEDIA CONSISTS
OVERWHELMINGLY OF COLLEGE
EDUCATED DEMOCRATS WHO ONLY KNOW
HOW TO WRITE STORIES FOR
EDUCATED DEMOCRATS.
I ASK STUDENTS WHO DID YOU VOTE
FOR IN THE LAST ELECTION.
24-0 FOR DEMOCRATS.
I HAD AN OPPOSITION RESEARCH
COMPANY PULL THE RECORDS OF THE
WHITE HOUSE AND HOW THEY
REGISTER TO VOTE.
IT’S A 12-1 RATIO.
WHY ISN’T IT 1-1.
WHY ISN’T IT EVEN?
HOW DIFFERENT THE NEWS THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD GET WOULD
BE.
I BLEW THE WHISTLE ON THE MEDIA
IN THIS BOOK BECAUSE THERE ARE
TOO MANY DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS
THAT’S DERIDE REPUBLICANS.
THIS IS WHY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
IS IN DECLINE AND IN DENIAL.
BRIAN: THE OTHER NETWORKS HAVE
LOST ALMOST HALF THEIR AUDIENCE.
JOE BIDEN GETS ELECTED PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
OBVIOUSLY 97% OF THE NEWS ROOMS
ARE ELATED.
SO ELATED NBC TAKES A SHOT OF
THE FIREWORKS.
YOU POINT THIS OUT IN YOUR BOOK.
>> TAKE LONDON, FIREWORKS WERE
SET OFF, CELEBRATING THIS
HISTORIC WIN.
LET’S TAKE THIS IN.
BRIAN: IN REALITY, ARI
FLEISCHER, WHAT WERE THEY CELEBRATING?
>> THEY WERE CELEBRATING A 50
TO-YEAR-OLD HOLIDAY ON THE FAMED
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON KING
JAMES I.
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
AMERICAN ELECTION.
OF COURSE, FIREWORKS WERE TO
CELEBRATE TRUMP’S DEFEAT.
THAT’S DECEPTION.
IT MADE IT ON THE AIR ON MSNBC,
BUT CNN AND CBS, TOO.
THIS IS -- ON ABC, TOO.
BRIAN: NICKY HAIL THINK BEING
TOLD SHE SPENT $25,000 ON YOU
ARE CANES WHEN EVERYBODY WAS
CUTTING BACK.
IT TURNS OUT IT WAS ORDERED
BEFORE SHE TOOK THE POSITION AND
THEY NEVER RETRACTED IT.
WHAT ROLE DOES THAT PLAY IN THE
DIVIDED AMERICA WE SEE NOW.
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS ONE OF
THE GREATEST SOURCES MUCH OUR
POLARIZATION.
THEY DIVIDE US AND DON’T REPORT
THE NEWS FAIRLY AND EQUALLY.
THEY ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST
PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
I WANT THE MEDIA TO BE FAIR AND NEUTRAL.
WITH THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WE CAN
NO LONGER DO THAT.
