President Trump told "CBS Evening News" anchor Jeff Glor Wednesday it's "true" Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election, and he "would" hold Russian President Vladimir Putin responsible for interference. 
  
 Mr. Trump, in an exclusive interview with Glor, said he has stated "numerous times before" that he agrees Russia meddled in the 2016 election. The president's comments come after his widely criticized press conference with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday, in which Mr. Trump appeared to say he had no reason to believe Russia interfered, which would contradict the findings of multiple U.S. intelligence agencies. Mr. Trump offered a clarification Tuesday that he had misspoken when he said that, and he accepts the findings of his intelligence agencies. 
  
 Here is the exchange between Mr. Trump and Glor: 
  
 GLOR: "You say you agree with U.S. intelligence that Russia meddled in the election in 2016." TRUMP: "Yeah and I've said that before, Jeff. I have said that numerous times before, and I would say that is true, yeah." GLOR: "But you haven't condemned Putin, specifically. Do you hold him personally responsible?" TRUMP: "Well, I would, because he's in charge of the country. Just like I consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country. So certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible, yes." GLOR: "What did you say to him?" TRUMP: "Very strong on the fact that we can't have meddling, we can't have any of that – now look. We're also living in a grown-up world. Will a strong statement -- you know -- President Obama supposedly made a strong statement – nobody heard it. What they did hear is a statement he made to Putin's very close friend. And that statement was not acceptable. Didn't get very much play relatively speaking. But that statement was not acceptable. But I let him know we can't have this, we're not going to have it, and that's the way it's going to be."

 "I would because he's in charge of the country just like I consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country," Trump said. "So certainly as the leader of the country you would have to hold him responsible." 
  
 Trump's views surrounding election meddling have been repeatedly called into question. As recently as this week -- immediately after his one-on-one meeting with Putin -- Trump appeared to believe Putin's denial over the US intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. 
  
 "In a key sentence in my remarks I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't,'" Trump said on Tuesday. He explained he had reviewed a transcript and video of his remarks. 
  
 "The sentence should have been: 'I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia,' " he said. "Sort of a double negative." 
  
 The White House was once again sent into clean-up mode Wednesday when Trump said "no" when a reporter asked him if Russia was still targeting the United States. Press secretary Sarah Sanders later claimed Trump was saying "no" to answering questions, not to whether the Russians are targeting the US. 
  
 When pressed in his Wednesday interview on whether his acceptance of the US intelligence analysis meant that he thought Putin lied when denying any Russian involvement, Trump said he "didn't want to get into whether or not he's lying." 
  
 "I can only say that I do have confidence in our intelligence agencies as currently constituted," Trump said. 
  
 He said his message to Putin warning against future interference was "very strong" during their meeting Monday. 
  
 "I let him know we can't have this. We're not going to have it. And that's the way it's going to be," Trump said. 
  
 Trump also said once again that he wants to sit down for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller is leading the investigation into Russian interference in the election and Russians' ties to the Trump campaign. 
  
 "I've always wanted to do an interview, because look, there's been no collusion," Trump said. |||||
Head on a swivel, people: President Trump now says he would hold Vladimir Putin personally responsible for Russian meddling in the 2016 election, CNN reports. Trump—who said two days ago that "I don't see any reason why it would be Russia" and then added a key contraction amid furious backlash—took an even stronger stand Wednesday when pressed by CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor. "But you haven't condemned Putin, specifically," Glor said in an interview. "Do you hold him personally responsible?" The ensuing exchange, per CBS News: Trump: "Well, I would, because he's in charge of the country. Just like I consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country. So certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible, yes." Glor: "What did you say to him?"

Fox News is taking a drubbing for broadcasting a four-minute video attacking President Obama yesterday but the network's arch-rival, MSNBC, has thus far avoided criticism for an anti-Mitt Romney video it produced and broadcast in February. 
  
 Yesterday, media critics pounced on the right-leaning cable network for running an internally-produced video on Fox & Friends purporting to show "The Impact of the President's First Term." By any fair (and/or balanced) standard, the piece was a ham-handed hatchet job with the type of scary music and fast cuts resembling a Mitt Romney campaign ad. The crux of media complaints was that airing GOP ads is one thing but for a news network to produce and broadcast its own partisan pieces dangerously shifts its role from "journalism to advocacy," as Mediaite's Noah Rothman put it. By the same standard, however, one would have to argue that MSNBC is guilty of the same crime. 
  
 In late February, the left-leaning network aired a slickly-produced hit piece on Mitt Romney titled "Mitt: Better Off Mute" that aired on the nightly cable show Hardball with Chris Matthews and Sunday morning talk show The Chris Matthews Show, which typically airs on NBC affiliates and their sister stations. The video lampoons Romney's habit of gaffing whenever he opens his mouth, and plays off the theme of the Oscar-winning film The Artist in which a silent film star struggles to adapt to films with sound. 
  
 The video latches onto the idea that, by appearance, Romney looks presidential and competent but is actually a buffoonish dunce. "Much like the perfect silent picture star whose career was thwarted by the emergence of sound in cinema, Mitt Romney has stumbled when he's had to open his mouth," reads the film's YouTube description. Some might argue that the video is shorter in length (it's a little over one-minute) and far less savage with its subject, but then we're getting into gradations, which is a factor in all political advertising. For instance, the way the segment humorously displays the build-up of political hype surrounding Romney only to show him fail, resembles the satirical "Obama is cool" ads produced by GOP operative Karl Rove. 
  
 Regardless, the outcry against Fox News has already caused the network to denounce its video, with Bill Shine, executive vice president for programming, saying in a statement, "The package ... was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network." One would imagine right-wing bloggers will now call on MSNBC and NBC to similarly denounce their video but perhaps it's time to make a larger point. Does it really matter if MSNBC or Fox News produce 3-minute partisan hit pieces? What, in effect, is the difference between a slickly-produced monologue by Ed Schultz vilifying Mitt Romney and a slickly-produced video montage serving the same purpose? Is it somehow more journalistically appropriate when there's less B-roll and over-voice involved? To complain about 4-minutes of partisan excess on a 24-hour network filled with partisan excess makes little sense.

 John Hudson ||||| The Fox News producer behind a provocative four-minute anti-Obama video that aired Wednesday and caused the network considerable embarrassment has found his career on ice. 
  
 The producer, Chris White, had been offered a job by CNN before the video was broadcast. But on Thursday, a CNN spokeswoman said that the network would not be hiring him. 
  
 Mr. White’s fate at Fox News is unclear. 
  
 The video, which aired twice on the morning show “Fox & Friends,” was widely criticized as a thinly veiled attack ad. In it, President Obama is depicted as a failed leader who has not delivered on his 2008 campaign theme of hope and change. 
  
 Fox News tried to distance itself from the video on Wednesday, saying that it was not authorized at the senior executive level. 
  
 “Fox & Friends,” which walks a tricky line between news, entertainment and commentary, has been a source of ridicule by the network’s liberal critics. Its hosts, Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy, have been satirized on “Saturday Night Live.” 
  
 The program is overtly hostile to Mr. Obama and Democrats. But Fox executives have said they do not consider it to be — or to hold the same standards as — a news program. |||||

Fox is taking flak for airing a video that resembled an anti-Obama campaign ad, but there was no similar outcry when MSNBC produced an equally partisan anti-Romney video in February, the Atlantic finds. "Mitt: Better Off Mute," an Artist spoof that portrayed the gaffe-prone Romney as a silent film artist doomed by the advent of sound, is shorter and gentler than the Fox & Friends piece, "but then we're getting into gradations, which is a factor in all political advertising," writes John Hudson. But Fox isn't defending its anti-Obama piece: Senior execs have distanced themselves from it, saying it wasn't authorized at the top level. The producer behind the video, Chris White, had been offered a job at CNN before the video was broadcast but the offer has now been withdrawn, reports the New York Times. It's not known whether he'll be allowed to keep his job at Fox.
