CHARLES: ACCORDING TO PEW
OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE.
THREE TIMES MORE CRITICAL THAN
62% NEGATIVE THE FIRST 60 DAYS.
ONLY 5% WAS POSITIVE.
BY COMPARISON'S PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S WAS 42% POSITIVE AND
42%.
TONIGHT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
RIGHT OUT THE GATE IN.
>> WHAT IS REALLY GLARING WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF MAINSTREAM
MEDIA JOURNALISTS VOTE DEMOCRAT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
UNCONVENTIONAL AND COMMUNICATES
IN UNCONVENTIONAL WAYS, AND HE'S
NOT SHY ABOUT TANGLING WITH THE
MEDIA.
HE PUNCHES BACK AND THEY CAN'T
TAKE IT.
CHARLES: THE NOTION THAT THERE
IS THIS MUCH BIAS FROM PRESIDENT
ADDRESSED.
THE MEDIA NEEDS INTROSPECTION ON
THIS.
>> IN THE SAME PEW RESEARCH
GROUP, TWO OTHER THINGS CAME OUT
IN RECENT TIMES.
SPREADING MISINFORMATION AND
DISTRUST THROUGHOUT AMERICA.
AND THE SECOND PART IS, THEY DO
WE LIVE IN A TOUGH DIVIDED TIME.
THE ANSWER FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS TO WORRY LESS ABOUT
POPULARITY AND MORE ABOUT
PRODUCTIVITY.
I THINK GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR,
THE BEST THING IT PRESIDENT CAN
DO IS PUSH A MAJOR LEAGUE INVEST
IN AMERICA INFRASTRUCTURE
PROGRAM TO FOLLOW UP ON THE TAX
REFORM PLAN WOULD BE A MAJOR
SUCCESS.
CHARLES: ADAM, YOU ARE A
COMMUNICATION STRATEGIST.
THIS IS YOUR WHEEL HOUSE.
IS THERE ANY OBLIGATION ON THE
PART OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO
LOOK AT THIS THROUGH A DIFFERENT
LENS AS THEY REPORT THESE
IS THE WALTER THE CRONKITE AGE
GOON FOR GOOD?
>> THIS IS WHY THE MEDIA IS
GETTING SUCH A BLACK EYE.
MAYBE IT IS A REFLECTION OF THE
TIMES.
BUT WHAT AMERICANS ARE CHEERING
FOR IS GOOD NEWS FOR AMERICA.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT EVEN
NEGATIVITY FROM THE MASS MEDIA
>> WOULD IT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO EXPERIMENT,
GO A MONTH WITHOUT PUNCHING BACK
I SEE THINGS THAT ARE REMARKABLE
THAT WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED IN
THE-MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE OR CORPORATE
EARNINGS.
FORM OF CRITICISM AGAINST HIM?
>> HE DOES USE HIS TWITTER FEED
IN A STRATEGIC WAY, AND PERHAPS
HE COULD IN 2018 USE IT MORE TRA
STRATEGICALLY AND FOCUS ON THE
LYING ON THE MEDIA TO REPORT IT.
ACTUALLY IT OUT IN TWEETS.
YET YOU SEE THERE ARE MANY
PEOPLE HE DOESN'T ENGAGE?
TWITTER WARS WITH.
YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE
LIKE EMINEM WHO TRIES TO GET HIM
TO ENGAGE ON TWITTER AND HE
REFUSED.
AND THOSE PEOPLE, THE POP STARS
ARE MELTING DOWN.
PERHAPS HE COULD REFINE IT IN
2018.
PEOPLE LIKE THAT HE'S
UNCONVENTIONAL.
