Bill Carter and Brian Stelter run through some of the week's biggest media stories -- from a NYT reporter "being fed a story" while dining in the same restaurant as Trump's lawyer, to Sean Spicer's controversial Emmys appearance, to Megyn Kelly's new show.
Christine Brennan says Trump's comments about the NFL have "presented the most amazing journalistic platter" to sports reporters, and that "there's no doubt this is one of the biggest sports stories and cultural stories" in years.
Platforms like Facebook and Twitter have long been untouched by government regulation -- they've been a sandbox for innovation and free expression. But after Facebook's disclosure that it sold ads to Russians that targeted US citizens during the election, tech leaders are scrambling to make change as lawmakers call for increased regulation.
Carl Bernstein says Robert Mueller's investigation is not focused on "collusion" but rather on "cover up." He says it's "certain that Russians were "deadly effective" in "specifically helping Donald Trump" and he has advice for the journalists covering the story.
Senator Mark Warner, who is pressing Facebook for more information about Russian ads, is proposing new legislation to ensure more transparency for political ads on the web. Warner tells Brian Stelter that Trump's "refusal to acknowledge what happened" in terms of Russian meddling in the 2016 election "does our country a disservice."
Jimmy Kimmel put "a face to the story" and drew national attention to the Graham-Cassidy bill debate, CNN media analyst Bill Carter says. Kimmel has a much larger platform "than most of us health policy reporters," Vox's Sarah Kliff adds. She says that Kimmel's criticism of the bill was generally correct.
Former NFL wide receiver Donté Stallworth says that when it comes to the word "racist," "I don't sling [that] around lightly." Regarding Trump and the NFL, Stallworth says "I don't need to say whether he's a white supremacist or a racist because his own actions speak for themselves."
Coy Wire, Christine Brennan, and Donté Stallworth discuss the president's battle with the NFL. "If there's one group of people in this country that might have more of a megaphone than Donald Trump, it's probably the NFL," Brennan says.
Players from the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars took a knee during the national anthem at London's Wembley Stadium just days after President Trump suggested they should be fired for doing so.
With President Trump taking aim at the NFL and its players who protest during the national anthem, the league is broadcasting a message of unity: a one minute ad that it produced for the Super Bowl earlier this year. It was originally made to "demonstrate the power of football to bring people together," the league said.
Democratic Senator Mark Warner tells CNN's Brian Stelter that he wants a public hearing for Facebook and Twitter executives to discuss issues relating to political ads.
President Donald Trump criticized some in the National Football League at a rally for Alabama Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange, saying team owners should fire players for taking a knee during the national anthem.
CNNMoney's Peter Valdes-Dapena takes the new 2018 Alfa Romeo Crossover SUV out for a drive on California highways. Quick and with responsive handling, the Stelvio shows that performance need not be forfeited with an SUV.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel argued the Sen. Bill Cassidy's new health care bill fails the "Kimmel Test" -- a reference to the comedian's emotional late-night monologue about how the Affordable Care Act carried protections that helped save his son from a congenital heart defect.
