CONWAY: OK. Well, why don't you cover what you do know is real? Which is that millions of Americans don't have health care. 

STELTER: There's a lots of reporters who are covering a lot of things. 

CONWAY: No, they're not. We've done a content analysis. 

STELTER: You're acting as if what you see on one hour -- you're acting like what you see on one hour of -- 

CONWAY: One hour? 

STELTER: You're acting like what you see on one hour of CNN equates to the entire national news media, tens of thousands of hard-working journalists who love America -- 

CONWAY: Yes, they do. 

STELTER: -- who also want to make sure that the president is doing his job. 

CONWAY: Yes, they do. Sure. But you look at his job through the lens of Russia. I look at his job through the lens of America. So, on that, we're always going to disagree. Number two and most importantly, this president is out there all the time. I mean, you've got CNN reporters with him. If you just stopped and talked to those people and asked them why they're there, how did these, how do the veterans feel now that they've got an ability to access care? How do the coal miners feel that their health care benefits were protected and the regulatory burden that was placed on them by the last president was lifted in the first couple of months? How do the pro lifers feel? 

STELTER: It sounds like you should be an assignment editor, Kellyanne. I'm sure you can get a job in the newsroom. 

CONWAY: Why would I want that? I'm counsel to the president. But I am telling that we're working on stuff -- 

STELTER: Because you're listing off all these stories that you believe are undercovered. And I respect that you though they don't get enough attention. 

CONWAY: They are. They are. But you know what? Twitter is not an assignment editor. 

(CROSSTALK)

STELTER: But journalists also recognized there are big scandals going on. 

CONWAY: What scandals going on? 

(CROSSTALK)

STELTER: I agree with you on that. 

CONWAY: Name them. 

STELTER: But since it's a show about the media, since -- 

(CROSSTALK)

CONWAY: I want to hear about. No, you can't get away with that. What are the, quote, big scandals going on? Please, name them for me.
