THINK ABOUT THE AVERAGE FOX NEWS VIEWER AND HOW MISINFORMED
OR UNDERINFORMED THEY ARE.
NOW THINK ABOUT THE AVERAGE FOX NEWS
VIEWER BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
IT TURNS OUT
THAT TRUMP, ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, HAS JUST REGURGITATED
WHAT HE SAW OR HEARD ON FOX NEWS, AND WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE ON
THAT.
THE LATEST EXAMPLE INCLUDES A REPORT THAT FOX DID,
ABBY HUNTSMAN WAS THE PERSON TALKING ABOUT THIS, ON CHELSEA
MANNING.
THEY WERE REPORTING ON A PIECE THAT CHELSEA MANNING
RECENTLY WROTE IN THE GUARDIAN CRITICIZING PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA FOR BEING A LITTLE TOO -- I GUESS BEING TOO EASY ON
REPUBLICANS, WANTING TO NEGOTIATE.
EXCEPT WHEN SHE DID
THAT SEGMENT SHE SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT CHELSEA MANNING HAD
CALLED PRESIDENT OBAMA WEAK.
IF YOU READ THE PIECE, CHELSEA
MANNING NEVER REFERRED TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AS WEAK, IN FACT
SHE WAS VERY CLEAR ABOUT HOW OBAMA DID SOME GOOD THINGS BUT
THE BIGGEST FLAW WAS HOW HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO WORK WITH
REPUBLICANS, WHO HAD NO INTEREST IN WORKING WITH HIM WHATSOEVER.
NOW, AS SOON AS THAT SEGMENT AIRED, DONALD TRUMP TWEETED
ABOUT CHELSEA MANNING AND HERE'S WHAT THE TWEET SAID --
OKAY, NO ONE SAID THAT CHELSEA MANNING CALLED OBAMA WEAK EXCEPT
FOR FOX NEWS.
BRIAN STELTER NOTICED THIS AS WELL, AND HE
TWEETED --
BY THE WAY, THAT SEGMENT IS NOW NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
WE'VE
IN LOOKING FOR IT ALL DAY SO WE COULD SHOW IT TO YOU GUYS, THEY
HAVE WIPED IT FROM THE INTERNET.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF A LEADER JUST REPEATS TALKING
POINTS HE HEARD ON FOX NEWS?
A WEAK LEADER, A LEADER WHO LEADS
FROM BEHIND.
AS YOU WILL SEE HERE, LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 14,
CHELSEA MANNING DIDN'T USE THE WORD WEAK AND I THOUGHT HER
POINT WAS EXCELLENT -- CHELSEA, THANK FOR WATCHING TYT, WE
APPRECIATE IT.
SHE WROTE --
NAILED IT.
DID I SAY THAT, OR DID CHELSEA?
OF COURSE I AGREE WITH
CHELSEA MANNING, THAT'S WHY I AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT.
BUT
IT DIDN'T SAY OBAMA WAS WEAK, IT SAID HE WAS TOO CONCILIATORY,
THAT'S WHY IT'S TELLING THAT TRUMP USED THE SAME EXACT WORDS
FOX NEWS DID.
THAT'S PART OF THE STORY, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP
LOVES FOX NEWS, WATCHES FOX NEWS, PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION TO
WHAT THE HOSTS OF FOX NEWS HAVE TO SAY.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT
WAS GIVEN DURING DAVID MUIR'S INTERVIEW OF DONALD TRUMP.
THIS
INTERVIEW ON ABC TOUCHED ON A LOT OF ISSUES, BUT AT ONE POINT
DONALD TRUMP WAS WAVING HIS FINGER AT MUIR AND PRETTY
MUCH EVERY MEDIA OUTLET EXCEPT FOX NEWS.
I WENT TO THE CIA, I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE IN
INTELLIGENCE, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR IN PARTICULAR ONE
OF THE LEADERS, BUT THAT'S OKAY, I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THE
PEOPLE IN THE CIA.
THAT SPEECH WAS A HOME RUN, THAT SPEECH, IF
YOU LOOK AT FOX, OKAY, I'LL MENTION YOUR NETWORKS, SEE WHAT
FOX SAID, THEY SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE GREAT SPEECHES, THEY
SHOWED PEOPLE APPLAUDING AND SCREAMING.
YOU ANOTHER NETWORKS
COVERED IT VERY INACCURATELY.
I HATE TO SAY THIS TO YOU AND YOU
PROBABLY WON'T PUT IT ON, BUT TURN ON FOX AND SEE HOW IT WAS
COVERED AND SEE HOW PEOPLE RESPOND TO THAT SPEECH.
THAT
SPEECH WAS A GOOD SPEECH, AND YOU AND A COUPLE OF OTHER
NETWORKS TRIED TO DOWNPLAY THAT SPEECH, AND IT WAS VERY
UNFORTUNATE THAT YOU DID.
I
AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE FIRST FULL DAY HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE INCLUDED MUIR'S NEXT QUESTION BECAUSE HIS RESPONSE TO
THAT WAS ABSURD.
HE LOOKED LIKE A CHILD WHO WAS JUST BEING
PUNISHED FOR DOING ACCURATE COVERAGE, BY THE WAY, OF WHAT
HAPPENED ON THE INAUGURATION DAY, AND HE JUST MOVES ON TO
SOMETHING ELSE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BUT THAT IS THE REASON
WHY SOMEONE LIKE DAVID MUIR GETS THE INTERVIEW.
HE'S GOING TO MOVE ON.
THERE ARE TWO ELEMENTS HERE, NUMBER
ONE IS ALL HE DOES IS WATCH FOX NEWS -- IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS
BAD ALREADY THAT TRUMP IS TRUMP, APPARENTLY HE IS TRUMP PLUS FOX
NEWS.
THAT'S WHERE HE GETS MOST OF THE THOUGHTS IN HIS EMPTY
HEAD.
WE TALK ABOUT HOW LIKE BUSH EVEN HIS FRIENDS AND ALLIES
SAY TRUMP WILL LISTEN TO THE LAST GUY IN THE ROOM, BUT A LOT
OF TIMES PEOPLE LEAVE IN THE LAST GUY IN THE ROOM IS FOX NEWS
BECAUSE HE'S WATCHING TV.
AND THEN HE GOES, THAT'S RIGHT, BILL
O'REILLY IS RIGHT ABOUT CHICAGO.
HE QUOTES O'REILLY FOR THE SAME
LANGUAGE, PUTS IT ON TWITTER, SAME THING WITH CHELSEA MANNING.
THE SECOND THING IS, WE ARE NOT EVEN A WEEK IN HERE, I'M
BEGINNING TO THINK HE WON'T LAST.
I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THOSE
VOTERS THAT I SAID WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO VOTE FOR HILLARY
CLINTON THAT DID WIND UP VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP, THEY WANT A
POPULIST, THEY WANT CHANGE, BUT THEY DON'T WANT A CHILD.
THAT
MOM IN KANSAS LOOKS AT THAT AND GOES, YOU JUST SAID YOUR OWN
SPEECH WAS A HOME RUN?
AND BY THE WAY, WHAT TRUMP WAS CRITICIZING THERE IN TERMS OF
MEDIA COVERAGE IS THAT THE OTHER OUTLETS DIDN'T GET ON THEIR
HANDS AND KNEES AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVED HIS SPEECH.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW FOX NEWS SAID IT WAS A WONDERFUL
SPEECH -- THAT'S LIKE YOUR OPINION, MAN.
BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT, IT'S AWKWARD.
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE
PEOPLE WHO BRAG, WHEN HE DID IT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL I THINK
THEY THOUGHT, YEAH, GO GET 'EM, THAT'S PART OF RUNNING FOR
OFFICE AND YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR CASE.
AND WE MADE FUN OF
HIM BECAUSE HE SPEAKS LIKE A THIRD-GRADER BUT WE GET THAT YOU
FOUND YOUR CHEST, IN FACT I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR THAT BECAUSE I
THOUGHT OBAMA DIDN'T PUMP HIS CHEST ENOUGH.
BUT WHEN YOU ARE
IN OFFICE AND YOU WERE GOING AROUND NOT JUST ARGUING
FORCEFULLY FOR YOUR POLICY POSITIONS BUT SAYING I GIVE
GREAT SPEECHES, MY SPEECHES ARE HOME RUNS, IT'S EMBARRASSING.
THAT IS GOING TO REMIND THAT MOM IN KANSAS OF HER 11-YEAR-OLD.
WHY DOES HE KEEP SAYING THAT?
HE'S GOT TO STOP.
BUT HE CAN'T
HELP HIMSELF BECAUSE HE A PETULANT CHILD.
