they are in a battle against us. 's what we do is we use the term. but they have to earn it we don't just call a liberal opinion fake news just because we don't agree but we wait until there is the actual falsehood so using the's broad strokes and would actually cite the falsehood. so that's not an equivalent thing so the retaliatory nature of it is important we are not looking to pick fights with people but to react to people we think are coming after us or our readers. the term fake news if you got the breitbart story that was fake news i would say sure. we would try our best but it is true. >> you focus on three media companies new york times bloomberg so talk about "the new york times" and your decoder ring. >> they have the list of priorities that they use of that cure ration is the obvious of the front page story and who are the heroes and who are the villains. but i notice that they would get the glamorous photos on the front page and others would get no photo if you're writing on a story that fits the narrative like trump did something bad or

they are in a battle against us and so we use the term but we are not calling someone a liberal opinion fake news because we don't agree with of the opinion. we wait until there is a falsehood where as the term is being used by hillary clinton in these broad strokes she wouldn't actually slate the falsehoods being put out so i do think that there is not an equivalent thing and in the retaliatory nature it is important we are not looking to pick fights with people we are looking to react to people who we think are coming after us or the readers. if you brought up a breitbart story right now and said that's fake news i would say sure that's fake news. we try our best not to do that but technically it's true. >> talk about the decoder ring for people who are going to read it. >> i think that they have a list of priorities they use a lot of people act like it's obvious what should be the front page stories and there are patterns i lay out and there's 15 or so but i notice how they would get these glamorous photos on the front page and the villains would get a dark photo or no photo. if it's
