We title this show the media get it wrong and apparently most of you agree.

Recent poll found 66%.

Of Americans say stories are often inaccurate and my next guest is a -- who says that's absolutely true.

Frank -- you've experienced this firsthand.

I've lived this -- a couple of examples Politico earlier last year.

I said to a friend of mine that I was leaving fox.

To take over -- which is campaigns -- the guy that is a joke.

The -- tweets.

Politico.

Runs it without calling me without confirming it.

Then he asked to -- I tell him do.

The -- now picked this up correct it he corrects that by saying that I was trying to promote my book.

Political.

Gifts corrected by saying we goofed right.

It was a joke he corrects it by saying that is trying to promote the -- a political rights that.

Not like the publication but cheese that an accurate you know why.

Because I don't bother to check -- -- political old it's quickie Internet news roll call the publication of the hill.

They've I did a presentation for US senate -- They write things that never works at why it took one -- work for and then -- -- to confirm it with anybody else in the room.

John this happens these are just small examples for me but they happen every single day looked in the end there's a greater point to this.

And only trouble at my Fox News.

Chieftains here.

He should not get your source from a single news outlets.

Need to read more than one obviously even -- -- this -- even the -- You need to get -- from multiple places you do not want.

Sue happy news firm which you believe he wanted to inform which you believe that's the Greek tragedy -- us.

That we are too often getting confirmed.

-- what we believe.

Rather than really getting to know what's going on out there potential big piece of marketing -- Like watching the news -- right it's -- yes I -- that was throw.

And frankly after watching ABC free and work -- there for twenty years I tune in the evening news and it was all.

All of this poor victim needs help from government I didn't want to watch that.

And a lot of people don't which is why the over on the news ratings for these shows have dropped but in the end he should watch it.

Seniors and CBS and NBC you should watch.

This and the other cable networks and should -- multiple newspapers is that -- form uptake of this this is the most important election in my lifetime.

And I hope that the people who are watching -- right now.

Won't get their facts from a single source I hope that they would get their facts from as many sources as possible do you know this is the most important election regular.

Because for the first time in my life.

Never felt this way.

I wonder what what country and wonder what life will be like.

You you preach freedom -- NC preach it you talk about it -- show it's all about every creature hey it's all about freedom.

I don't know if we're gonna have the same freedom that you reported to I really don't know for the first time whether -- gonna happen.

For years and eight years twelve years and regardless of who's elected that's why this matters.

Well -- Europe in the near times and work with people who just read it like it -- the world.

ABC that's what they read and they thought that was the truth that you hear that sound.

You just hear that sound no well with that -- that's -- -- -- -- canceling their New York Times subscription.

I assume it's because people can get it in the web it's not because of by.

Now that -- people who are fed up with.

It's a newspaper that's hostile to business its house how the free enterprise that's cost out economic freedom is support Washington.

They oppose the individual and eventually people say enough is enough.

Thank you for.
