Right-wing media feedback loop leaves Trump with warped understanding of his legal situation
The feedback loop of Donald Trump promoting commentary from his right-wing media supporters like those at Fox while those supporters are taking cues from Trump in producing that commentary is distorting Trump's sense of the reality of his legal situation. Lisa Rubin, MSNBC legal correspondent, and Brian Stelter, Vanity Fair special correspondent, talk with Alex Wagner about the disruptive role of Fox and other right-wing media on Trump's New York criminal trial.

As an Australian I apologise for the damage done by the monsters that are the Murdoch clan.
Thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
No need they would have been vile no matter where they were born
We can't blame a whole country for the Murdochs, just as you can't blame the whole U.S. for Trump.
They gave him citizenship and Australia has a no returns policy. All they needed to do was look at his work in England.
Thanks, mate. 🇬🇧
Rupert Murdoch should of been put in jail a long time ago...
Not just for what he has done in America either, like the illegal wire tapping in the UK for example.
@@asheronwindspear552 exactly, also, Rupert could of stopped the lies to that poor mother, telling her that her teenage daughter was still alive ..how disgusting, a Murdoch reporter telling a mother her daughter was still alive knowing that she wasn't just to get the story , Rupert Murdoch has a long history of criminal offences, it's just his money keeping from going to jail.
10000000000 percent ..phone hacking
Send him to Devil Island like Papillon.
In Australia
Hold him in contempt, sentence him to 2 days of jail starting Friday afternoon after court. Make him sit in there the whole weekend missing two days to campaign. Make him come to court straight from jail.
that still wont keep people from voting for him becaues if the election was today he would of already won it
That’s what he wants, it will rile up his base. But either way, he should be treated like any other person and any other person would be held in contempt and jailed.
@@JupiterSlimThat’s why I’m inclined to prefer an overnight or even a few hours in the courthouse holding area.
3 hours without his phone and he'll have a stroke.

None of them are arguing that Trump didn't break the law (88 times), they are trying to argue that he shouldn't have answer for it, that it just doesn't matter.
They don't argue that on this network. This is the Trump hate network.
Conservatives believe that might makes right. They also have an algorithm for making things right. It's not simple math like "two wrongs make a right" rather it's a long complicated formula involving hate, malice and spite that basically says the more wrongs the better. They definitely are not saying what he did wasn't illegal or that he didn't do it. They are most certainly saying he didn't do it enough because of all the imagined bad things that have been done to him. In their estimation, he hasn't been spiteful or hurtful *_enough._*
MAGA does not believe in crime. For tRump. 🙄
I agree that frump and his minions have committed many crimes and should pay for them. But the reality is that the LAW won't solve our frump problem in the US. But LIFE WILL. Vote Blue in overwhelming numbers, numbers so huge that all Nov 2024 Elections in all States, Cities, Counties and Municipalities and Presidential can't be rigged or stolen. They know they can't win in a fair election, so they're rigging it right now but They can't rig hundreds of thousands of votes. Are Democrats responsible for breaking Roe v Wade? No. Do we know that Women's Rights are Human Rights? Yes. With those thoughts, go into the voting booth and vote for people who best represent you and we can win every Election in the US. Biden is on our side.
he has only been charged with falsifying business records because he called the NDA payments "legal expenses" literally because that's is what he wrote in his checkbook and on the checks memo line an on invoices, 34 times for 12 checks. he was not intentionally falsifying records. it's a misdemeanor, and the statute of limitations is 3 years. and that is literally all this case rests on. The rest is all political theatre. the national enquirer has nothing to do with anything, BTW, NDAs are legal and it was an expense so arguably they were legal expenses. they are trying to say they were campaign expenses but that would be a federal issue and the NY court has no legal jurisdiction there but they are trying tie them together somehow even though the feds declined make that case.
I can only wish that tRump would be treated like he and FOX say he is mistreated.

How Jesse Watters described the jurors was despicable and totally irresponsible. He should be slapped with a gag order as well. And Fox News should be held accountable for allowing him to put potential jurors at risk.
What did Jesse say ?
I’ve been watching all the Fox news. What video are you talking about? Sounds like a delusional comment.
He described the jurors in details that put them in danger. Everything but the actual names and addresses. On the internet, it was enough to tip off people and one juror got so many personal inquiries that she quit. @davidwelsh8026
Jesse watters talks like he's never been punched in the face.... Someone should rectify that.....
'at risk',..as if Trump supporters are the bad guys. Watters is not bound by any gag orders. He can say whatever he wants. But leftists object. They can't tolerate anyone debunking their pet narratives. Look what happened to Tucker Carlson. The dark forces were so enraged by his rhetoric, they threatened serious lawsuits against FOX if they didn't fire Carlson. Fox caved as part of a settlement in another case.
The problem is that showing a stick, but being afraid to use it, proves to Trump how weak the law is. Trump needs to be shown the stick, then hit with it to find out that it is NOT a stick, it's a sledgehammer. 30 days in Rikers per violation with time to be served consecutively. That is the ONLY way that Trump will be FORCED to learn the lesson.
300 days!
You can lead a Trump to trial but you can't make him think!
@@fredhollis3749 And STILL counting.
I agree, but I believe that 7 days in Rikers is all that's necessary, and it's more realistic (regarding press and public consumption). I'm pretty sure it would have the required effect - it would absolutely shake him to the core.
@Peter2255 - exactly. He is the one turning it political, because if he were treated impartially he would be in jail by now, but they have to tiptoe around him because he will cry political harassment. I don't think he will win the next election and I wish I had put money on it a few months ago when they were good. However, we can expect more of the same when/if he loses, but at least the "I'm a presidential nominee" will have been removed and I think even his fans are losing interest. At the end of the day, they want a perceived "hero", not someone who keeps losing, and even the trials must to some of them be filtering through that he is not the messiah sent by God .... or in a normal world would be haha

As a girl I was a babysitter, including infants. I've changed hundreds of diapers. As a model at T Management (Trump Models), I met Trump many times: he frequently had the smell of poopy pants. That was 11 years ago. Imagine now.

In an effort to expose myself to various and varied perspectives, I do force myself to watch Fox (i.a.) a couple times a week. It is SO disappointing. Occasionally I will post on their KZhead a heartfelt suggestion to recognize we are all getting *completely different presentations of reality* At some point, each of us has been guilty of limiting ourselves to the news that *validates our opinions / makes us feel 'smart'* - that's Human Nature 101 (prob Social Media 101 too). *Al Jazeera* appears to be a decent source ..... I personally enjoy MSNBC a lot but, because I do expose myself to multiple other sources, I can see how even 'they' choose not to cover any number of angles. Funny that, with all the technological 'progress' we've accomplished, we seem quite far off from finding something as simple as The Truth (the whole truth, and nothing but). Also funny(?) that, with the democratization of information - literally everyone has access to all knowledge with their literal *fingertips* - so many people are choosing to be anti-intelligence. It's beyond bizarre. At this point in time, I guess it's just incumbent on each of us to explore different - and especially *conflicting* - 'news reports'. With all the perspectives, one can then suss out the *Facts* and, ultimately, form their *own Opinion* Not super optimistic about the number of Americans who care enough to do so though ... Will someone *please change my mind?* 😶
Al-jazeera isnt the worst.. at least its an actual news channel
In UK, BBC now has a section, “BBC Verify” tasked with fact-checking reports. They find lots of old videos used to portray current events.
I've found that people use the amount of available information to support whatever biases they may have. Politically, there are definitely two realities - only one of them seem to be consistent with the justice system and who has ended up being indicted. The only reason why I have more trust in left wing media is their inclusion of factual information versus opinion. I can't accept that these cases are just witch hunts unless you can tell me exactly how that's the case. The folks who believe these court cases are merely witch hunts has no other source of "credible" information to tell them otherwise. They will never believe any left learning media. If judge pirro tells me that he's innocent, by gosh he must be!

Happy to see you talk about systemic feedback loops. Note that they exist also on the progressive side. There is just too much information/content for us to process, and our filters, composed of our cognitive biases and the commercial mechanisms (YT associative filters) reinforce us sticking to bubbles. Add to that the political side of things where both sides try to discredit or even dehumanize the other side, and we get to a complete disconnect where neither side trusts the other to say _anything_ of value. A society isn’t healthy when some of its communities, living amongst each other physically, live in completely different realities mentally.
True. This is when common sense kicks in, I guess... When you're presented with provable facts, you accept them, for instance...?
That was hard to read, but well worth it. Thanks.
This can happen on both sides, but this is not a “both sides” issue.
@@jmb3608 In theory, yes, but outside of pure logic and mathematics, things aren't strictly provable. Reality admits proof only in as far as you accept its reduction to a simpler model wherein proofs are possible. Worse still, most of us are also unable to validate a proof, let alone create one ourselves. The practice is that we rely on external authority to tell us what is valid and what is proven, and rely only very little on our own reasoning (it's hard and time-consuming). And people disagree on who the authorities are, each bubble has their own. Or rather, bubbles seem to form around perceived authorities. And those bubbles tend to cluster mostly based on similarity. That on itself is not such a bad thing. The larger issue is that dogma forms once we start recognising in-and-out-groups. The synchronisation between bubbles stops and separate mental realities spawn. Sometimes even to the point where if one group claims some statement 'X', the other group knee-jerk-reflexively starts claiming 'not X'. Sometimes even at their own detriment. Or, they make claims detached from reality, but find their validation in within-group-confirmation, e.g. the feedback loop discussed here. Thinking about this problem and similar ones is a pet peeve of mine. So if you have good ideas to solve it, I'm all ears, or eyes, I guess :).
@@mr-boo No, sorry I don’t have any ready-made or easily applicable ideas to solve this issue. I usually use the sources I trust to confirm or infirm some news. If all of them say the same thing - more or less - and the news can be found in several news outlets, there is a fairly good possibility that it is reliable. Criss-crossing references is the only thing I can offer, but biases still remain. There is no escaping them, I guess. Once again, there are people I would not trust, given their past histories of lies and deceit, but maybe I’m wrong…

Donnie is being misinformed about the trial that he's physically at??????
MSNBC will lose faith of their viewers when Trump is acquitted. -- Trump had nothing to do with any of the invoices (12 in total), they were sent by Cohen to Trump company accountants, and he wrote in it “payment for legal services rendered”. He was the personal attorney for Trump. And he was never charged by Alvin Bragg about these alleged “falsifications”. So Trump had nothing to do with these invoices. And ironically Cohen wasn’t charged about it. Trump also had nothing to do with how the transactions that were recorded on a personal ledger. (12 counts). Employees inside the company recorded the transactions as “legal services” based on what Cohen gave them. And now we are left with 9 checks out of 11 checks which Trump only signed to pay Michael Cohen who was his personal attorney. We don’t have any crimes committed by Trump here. This is a nonsensical case.
Of course. He dozes off once in a while, and needs to be updated by Jesse Watters and the likes.
The usual “my lawyers did it” yet he signed the check to repay cohen AND there’s audio of trump saying “ can we pay it in cash” what a scourge 45 is on our country.
He doesn't have the intelligence or attention span to follow the details or legal terms. His ego doesn't like what's happening, and it's much happier believing the lies that it's a political witch-hunt rather than consequences of his actions.

He knows that if he goes to jail, it's a huge payday for him along with validating his delusions of ""persecution". He is probably willing to sit in the can for a few days to make it happen! He's deliberately goading the judge to take action.
Reinstitute the Fairness doctrine and make it illegal for talking heads to lie on tv.
Now imagine him president again.
Well put. Let them keep lying to him. It's just what is needed. ❤
It’s a closed system; until it’s blown wide open.
Has the prosecution gotten around to actually stating what the crime they made up is?
How much of a criminal do you have to be, if the jurors of your criminal trial need that level of protection?
"Poking the bear, quite literally." No. There is no bear. And there is no poking.
They will end up sequestering that jury.
Nice to see Brian Stelter!
Regardless of why judges tiptoe around Trump, they are setting a terrible example for America and the meaning of money.
There has to be consequences or he will never learn. This is why he's the monster he is he never had to face consequences for his actions. I'm voting blue all the way down the ballot💙💙💙💙
How is it even legal for there to be any discussion of the jury? In UK, Australia and here in New Zealand the jury is off the record before, during and after the trial. Violations by jurors or media would be heavily punished.
The U.S. Supreme CT justices should have staggered terms not life terms!
Narcs don't want 'the truth'.
We have allowed judges to rule based on their own bias. If their understanding of the law is based on misinformation their rulings are tainted - and theres nothing we can do about it
Watters' job is to entertain. He laughs on camera at his viewers' ignorance as he's feeding them BS, because he knows they're too far gone to get it, and he loves that.
“Common sense” is what people use who are NOT being rational. Common sense is seeing the dots, logic is connecting the dots.
Hey which way to I go to get off the stage. Let me read my notes. Left, Right, Left, Right, Repeat. Don't fall. Don't shake hands with air.
Let me guess. You have National Enquire wallpaper in your bathroom.
@@johnnywilliams8733 No, I don't pause.
This doesn't get talked about enough: how the media reality was, and continues to be, bent to his narcissistic fragility.
One is a criminal trial and the other was a civil trial and its a huge difference!
I heard an anti-trump ad aired during a Fox Lies show (It played during morning joe/msnbc too)
The first and fifth amendments are binary! It's always one or the other! "The press has an obligation to tell the truth " - Andrew Hamilton " truth is a defense to an accusation of libel. " - Andrew Hamilton Cosby vs. Zenger 1735 Landmark freedom of press case.
Trum has 1000 Grima Wormtongues whispering in his ear 24/7.
Let the punishment be equal to the crime. So far that has not been the case and why stinky still does what he pleases.
I'll be brutally honest, I would listen to Alex Wagner read the phone book. I find her voice both relaxing and invigorating at the same time. On the other hand, I'd sooner listen to nails on a chalkboard than a Trump rant (they are not speeches).
I think/hope that the punishment for breaking the gag order will be wrapped up in the sentencing when reality finally hits him
Distorted?!!!🤬 Disturbed and disgusting!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 💙💙💙💙 2024 BIDEN/HARRIS 2024
Criminal contempt. Deny pretrial release in DC, GA or FL.
I'm pulling out my thesaurus while watching Alex-it's been a minute 😂
The UK banned FOX, the U.S. needs to do the same. And bring back the Fairness Doctrine, it's dissolution is what has allowed the likes of Fox, Newsmax, et al.
It’s called freedom of speech.
@@davidwelsh8026 Actually it's called provable lies.
I don't believe Judge Merchan will hold trump accountable. No one has yet. Sad!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all meuff flem shlemen lienable Rights! What a leader of the free world.
I hold this truth to be self-evident: an opening quotation mark requires a corresponding closing one.
@@peterg5383 I reported you for harassment so do it again so you will be removed from this site
Thanks so much for sharing💙💙💙
Trump is treated so-o-o much better than any other defendant would be, and he is still throwing tantrums and whining like a baby!
Especially when he is in his playpen at the beginning or end of the day ..
FOX is the National enquirer of television 0:32
Re.d.j.t. , 30 days , each count ...then , ACCOUNTABILITY on other orders ! .
First they have to buy tickets and actually get a hotel in NYC. Maybe we will accommodate them at his hotel in the city.
When you’re spending your whole show complaining that they can’t shut Trump up…. You’ve lost your case
Luv this guy, says it like it is.😎
Good job MSNBC, you read the script just like they told you too.
Third party contact is a violation of the gag order, or should be.
Good when he gets locked up his expression will be priceless.
Media aside, surrounding yourself with yes men does the same.
