A Litany of Unrealities

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 7, 2017

Tavis Smiley, host of PBS's Tavis Smiley and Public Radio International's “The Tavis Smiley Show,” airing Saturdays at 11PM on AM820, and Maggie Haberman, New York Times White House correspondent, discuss the missteps and consequent self-reflection by the president’s inner circle after the inept roll-out of his travel ban. In response, the President and his team have made claims that the media intentionally limits coverage of terrorist attacks and publishing false information.

We also discuss why the President may be right about the U.S. not being "so innocent,” a response to Bill O'Reilly in defense of Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
