Lanny Davis Admits He Lied But CNN Is STILL Pushing FAKE Trump Tower Story
welcome back to this ingram 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 NBC
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 the Trump Tower meeting with the
Russians beforehand or you know does 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 them 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 we now
know that it wasn't true Michael Cohen 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
it 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 are too quick to run a 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 had a fire three journalists
over an unsubstantiated story on Anthony's Karamu Chi 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 questioned him about that
hey you confirmed this the first time and now you're saying it's not true if
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 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 so well you were wrong on this is 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 hones 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 me that he regrets that but then CNN
should come out and talk about that and so 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 I've always wanted to ask you this but
way back when in the day look at this time magazine cover this is this is a
cover story red handed with Donald Trump jr. making him 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 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 Jerry Kirchner 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 party 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 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
a lot of confidence of a major chunk of the country became and it's it's sort of
on steroids in the Trump era yeah that's right Howie thank you very much
last month CNN announced a bombshell that Michael Cohen said President Trump
knew about that meeting between his son and a Russian claiming to have dirt on
Hillary something as rare as air it was one of a thousand final nails in the
coffin of Trump's presidency but then Lanny Davis Hillary's creepy fixer who's
now defending Trump's creepy fixer figured that out
says his creepy client didn't have such info which is odd since now it's
revealed that creepy Davis was the anonymous creepy source who supplied
creepy CNN with that creepy info that the network then milked to death while
lecturing us on ethics so CNN is in a creepy pickle their
source for their biggest story of the year is giving us the creeps so you're
following this wish I wasn't I need to run my soul through a car wash after all
this I'm like the rest of the media who eat this stuff up no matter the sourcing
they're like a drunk frat boy at 3:00 a.m. they'll eat a pop-tart off the
floor as long as there's ketchup so when ov and Adi comes knockin sin and shrieks
like Bieber fans with backstage passes and why only because it perpetuates a
story that the media can't stop feeding on two years ago they were gorging on
electing Trump now they gorge on impeaching him avenatti
Cohen and Davis three square meals the media devours daily but gluttony is a
sin no wonder they all seemed so dumb and slow and what's called reporting now
is just rumour spoon-fed from creeps seeking money power or fame I wish I
could ignore them all but what is it that that guy keeps saying long week
relax with a glass and let's get after it lots to figure out what do you say
let's get after it's gonna take us two hours to do it so what do you say let's
get after let's get after it I got something better how about let's get
accurate this is an amazing blockbuster story Kilmeade I want you to try to get
your head around it I know it'll be tough for you because you're working all
the time but this is CNN source contradicting what they said to CNN so
somebody's lying do you think this will be on Michael Stellar's reliable sources
I say they have a test pattern then put this on sources
Vladdy Davis is also a crisis expert that's when he wrote a book on yeah so
here's this crisis how do I solve the crisis take responsibility for it I'll
take the heat and I can handle it he also says the reporting got mixed up
through the course of the criminal investigation nope that didn't work I
made a mistake I did not mean to be cute never was says he didn't lie to CNN he
unintentionally misspoke said he has instinct to his instinct this is where
he said about what Cohen knows his instinct was that his client might have
something to say about Muller about hacking but he shouldn't have said
anything that is you're a lawyer this has nothing to do with Cohen it's all
about Hillary Clinton and Lanny Davis Cohen doesn't come up so the question is
is he worried that Michael Cohen put his hand on the Bible and swore that he was
telling the truth and said he had nothing to do with his omit that Trump
knew nothing about this trumped our situation and when he came out and says
now he knows then Cohen suddenly looks less oh he created he committed perjury
so then he had the BACtrack or did he just make it up and Michael Cohen said
you're doing a really bad job I know I'm not paying you but you can't make things
up there's more to this story well you know okay Dana I want to stick to the
CNN thing because why not it's fun that was a that July 26th story CNN said
Larry Davis didn't it didn't make any comment on that so this is from Glenn
Greenwald I'm actually quoting a grand Glenn Greenwald article but no but he's
right CNN said Lanny Davis refused to comment
so either CNN lied to its audience about Davis or Davis is lying now or they were
protecting they was they were trying to protect him at the time they're try to
protect their source and say it wasn't that's why people do disagree with using
background sources but in a case a situation like this then if you're
dealing with people's lives and you know the presidents in terms of
their future judicial or legal problems then people do leak and they do speak on
background the other thing that's happening here is you have both camps
trying to advance their story with the media on background trying to be cute
then they go on the record yeah cable news and they get a little bit
crosswise but I believe cnn's that they're sticking with this yes they are
the stir because maybe they have another source that told them that the story is
true could that source be what is there another lawyer that we're missing out on
Tammy if this were this would be if this were on the other side this would be yet
another smoking gun the media doesn't see this as anything special no and
they're gonna want to make it go away but of course this is why when the
president says fake news everybody goes nuts this is exactly what he's talking
about the use of an individual and this is on the theory of like too good to
check right that they get what they need from their source to move several days
if it was a huge story at the time it was like it was another nail and the
thousand names as you've noted and then they get that that that mileage and they
figured that that's all that they need and they they gin this up in this way
and then it just goes away it floats away but the viewers know it CNN is now
losing their programs to things like ancient aliens
so obviously ancient aliens doing things that CNN won't do and can't do so so
this is what the president complains about it's what you see the crowds at
the at the rallies you know yelling at CNN about it hurts not just Cohen and
this entire process legally but how media is is viewed again it's it's it's
another nail in a coffin but it's not a president Trump's it's a legacy media
and what they're willing to do what I'm just severely just disappointed in the
whole legal world right now these aren't you saddened the legal world yes how
these lawyers are just terrible one Giuliani yeah I would agree I'm way way
way in disagreement with all of you on this one because it seems to me like
you're in the weeds and you're just playing out this tired theme of oh the
right-wing hates the elite mainstream media this is not a
big story intends in terms of CNN says they're standing by their story they say
they have corroboration for the story they've had every opportunity to say hey
we made a mistake in addition to which remember CNN fired reporters when
reporters got an earlier story about Trump wrong so I would think that people
on the right would say huh CNN's not firing anybody in this case they're not
backing off and the one who's saying that he did something wrong is Lanny
Davis Lanny Davis is a stand-up guy here and saying hey I was made stuff he said
he was speculating Brian and he has acknowledged that he is wrong write what
you know by that he was speculating that's what he just saying if you want
to know the important story here the important story was when Cohen stood up
in court and implicated the president in an illegal payoff of a porn stuff
whenever look if you see a crowd of people who are lying at some point about
a variety of issues and then you've got a guy who's been threatened with life in
prison but pledging that he knows something no wonder people don't take it
seriously he could be in jail don't liberals all
the time argue that people will say what and they'll confess the things they've
never done before simply because of the pressure by law enforcement point though
several times and I think Maggie Haberman is reporting the New York Times
at least twice stories broke in legal camp on the president's side have said
not true or the presidency was in fake news or the spokes Bern said not true
then five or six months later you turn oh it actually is true so I think that
the media is being played a little bit by both sides on the on the legal side
of things it's difficult to try these cases in the court of but you know what
the thing is there's one side that definitely wants their story to be true
so they're willing to pay play more fast and loose thank you god bless you and
God bless america
