1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,119
Speaker 1: I have a perfect example of how modern journalism works.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Last Thursday, intrepid CBS White House corresponded, Mark Knoller Broke,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: historian Twitter Twitter. That's where journalists break news these days,

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: not even on their own networks. Now, this guy Knoehler

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: tweeted that at a White House meal, President trump salt

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: and pepper shakers are bigger than those of his guests

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: at the table. Business Insider reporter James Paisley immediately got

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: in geared to investigate this important lead, and this guy

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: fearlessly combed through photos of presidential table settings. He uncovered

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the truth and yes, President Trump has much bigger salt

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: and pepper shakers than the foreign leaders or American politicians

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: who dined with him at the White House. By analyzing

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: twenty two news photos, Paisley explored the significance of the

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: president's massive shakers. Paisley postulated President Trump could be using

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: larger salt and pepper shakers as a power move. Like

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: his fierce hand aches and the bulky suits that he wears.

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: His big shakers may well be a form of intimidation. Now,

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: in this deep dive, the journalists discovered that Obama Bush

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: forty three Bill Clinton. They all used the same size

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: shakers as their guests. Imagine the effort it took for

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: this ACE reporter to flesh out these details. I think

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: this guy deserves a pullitzer. His investigative work should be

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: taught in journalism schools everywhere. What do you think those

24
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: shakers may have microphones in them and may be bugs.

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: Ever think about
