Fox News contributor Joe Concha weighs in on media coverage of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's controversial comments about a new government commission.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Absolutely a commission
thats being discussed
were going to have to figure
out how we rein in our media
environment so that you cant
just spew disinformation and
misinformation.
Jedediah that was congresswoman,
Ocasio Cortez, leading the call
to quote rein in the free
press
will maybe some in the media
have heard her call pause the
major evening newscast at any
time each cover her
controversial comments.
Pete, not one second
here to react. Fox news,
contributor and media opinion
columnist for the hill, Joe
Concha
Joe good morning,
thanks for being here,
if a prominent congresswoman
says, we need to rein in the
media
limit what they are able to say,
wouldnt that be something the
media might want to at least
mention.
Yeah
lets do shoe other foot for
this Saturday morning, not gates
Florida
lets say he said touring the
Trump administration. We need to
establish a commission to look
at misinformation in the media,
all those people screaming about
free speech and the first
amendment over the last four
years. I have a feeling that ABC
Cbs, NBC and particularly CNN,
and its media team, probably
would be covering this twenty four slash. Seven
lets look at this proposal here,
guys for a second rein in media,
a Truth commission,
the government regulating
speech that belongs in China or
it North Carolina, not North
Carolina, North Korea or perhaps
in the pages of nineteen. Eighty four
and look lets say, for
instance, Charles Barkley, who
you were just talking about, Sir
Charles. We all love him. As you
said, very authentic,
does the truth. Commission come
after him pause hes wrong in
terms of his opinion,
thats. What Ms Ocasio Cortez is
talking about.
She said in the 60 minutes
interview two years ago: it
doesnt matter. If you are
factually or is a man semantical
correct its more about being
morally right.
If she is heading up the
commission, we would be in big
trouble
at one point. She said after she
was elected PBS Margaret Hoover
and Hoover asked. What do you
think about the low
unemployment?
Do you give President trump any
credit for that?
This is precode. Obviously, she
said well. The only reason why we
have low unemployment is because
everybody is working, two jobs
which at last check is not how
unemployment works.
Would she then call herself
before her own committee?
I dont know how that is going
to work. Guys
will its amazing how quickly
we are moving toward this
dystopian stuff only found in
novels
truth commissions, rein in the
media,
deplatforming censorship
happening in the real world very
quickly.
Let me get your response he to
this story here. This is Hhs
Secretary Azar going after CNN
because of this Kyron right here
saying he had resigned from the
administration.
Contrary to the CNN Kyron im
still here serving the american
people at the Hhs,
I believe its my duty to ensure
a smooth transition to the
President Elect Bidens team
during the pandemic and will
remain. As secretary through
January, 20th
CNN was trying to portray
that Azar was disgusted with the
inauguration. He couldnt wait
four days until the
inauguration.
He has to make a statement.
Obviously he put in resignation
letter, but he is you staying on
until January 20th, because at
last check we are in the middle
of a pandemic and good idea for
somebody in his position to stay
on and for him to leave
obviously would be highly
irresponsible and highly
irresponsible, obviously for CNN
to cover that story without
double checking
anyway. Guys got to do my NFL
picks for this weekend.
Obviously I went 3 0 last week.
Will I dont know if you were
tracking that I did very well in
those picks today at 440 I have
your LOS Angeles Rams: okay, a
shocker in Green Bay.
Will it is a shocker?
I have them, perhaps not
winning this game, but keeping it
very close. If you know what I
mean wink wink tomorrow on Fox
630 game, I believe im going
with the Tampa Bay Bay Bucks
Cream Sickles
Tom Brady is my Wifes Hall pass
and therefore
Laughter
PETE, Joe Concha. We never ask
you for your picks, but you give
them to us. Anyway. We have come
to love them.
Hold you accountable.
5 0
hall passes by the way.
