that have emerged out of this. main stream to the right of center line and said america is resilient and we recovered. it was a terrible period and we are back, we fought terror and a leftist center mean, this was a moment that unhinged america from the policies and core and led us in one disastrous war in iraq and another . we are weaker as a result. those are two competing narratives. >> we'll find out what jim things. >> one big word . i got to think of another. i mean, you know, the media research center did a terrific study comparing the coverage of the war on terror under president bush and president obama . made a deal that guantanamo is a big deal under bush and not a big deal under obama and a

lot of the coverage that judy is talking reflects the opinions of two presidents. main stream media, one good and one bad. >> i wonder about the over all affect on newspapers. i mean, newspapers, had photos the next day andine by then, it seemed out of date. your -- you're a columnist on a website. is it reflective of what is going on? >> now the writing is like television is nonstop new's cycle and the minute something happens it is up. it is no more we will wait today or tomorrow. the minute it happening, how fast you are getting it on the westbound site. you are not competing against television. >> how quickly did the blame game start? >> several types of blame

games about people lined up on the left and right after the initial unity. cabdrivers in the new york were not honking and civiluty . total strangers talked to each other in the street. it was an amazing thing to behold. you thought you were in another place. one of the interesting controversy that came out of that is the american flag on the lapel . abc took a lot of heat from conservatives. they were continuing a long standing policy of having lapel pins . a lot of groups dumped on abc because if you were not wearing a lapel pin that showed american flag you were somehow unamerican >> alen who is a thoughtful sociologist and made a point that the spirit of the unity three and

half minutes. the media that judy described or the thousand variations of the media that we have now. those overcame in terms of the outward force, the notion of pulling together and rallying around the flag didn't take long. probably lasted 9/11 and the beginning of the iraq war which was march 03. >> so many voices are able to compete for the national discourse. >> and now you can see it in a flood of commemoratation . look at what is going on in the media this week. is there a station or newspaper that doesn't have a 9/11 reflection. there you can see the amount of information and i wonder if it is not just overwhelming for people. >> there was over 40 television specials. this is not coverage in news program. 40 network television specials

in the u.s. alone and more over seas and tends to crowd out other thingings. new york magazine has a big 9/11 piece with a essay. 9/11 is important as it was and much as it influenced media coverage. crowded out other stories that were worthy of more coverage . looting of america by wall street and some of the government fanny and freddie. >> we have to take a break. first if you keep up on the media stories in the week and check out the watch list section. coming up. president obama tries to sell his new job's plan. arelet media buying. >> mr. obama gave his big job speech to congress . did the media pay attention? >> take the son of the bitches out and give america back to the america we belong.

his job plan to congress. he started by blaming the media for not focusing on the real issues of the day. how did that play? [laughing] >> you know, ihink that the media when it comes to president obama, they are willing to overlook insults in the nature of affection. it is a deep challenge when the president of the united states says something to reporters and journalist who don't like him to overcome the nature of what he said. wall street journal not a fan of president obama, and headline obama a bid to spur growth. i think what they would like to have written. don't be fooled again or snake oil. but they can't do that . they are assuming he a point when he announces the plan. >> they are just reporting the facts and factual reporting and generally speaking to the

issue that bought the republican line on this issue and they bought the whole austerity . stimulate the economy when it is a long-term problem and trying to stimulate and get jobs is a short-term problem. they have bought hook, line ander in the republican on this issue . they have completely ignored what so many economist are saying. deficit long term . you can't explain economics in a sound bite. i was struck by how kind everybody was about the speech. i thought it was less impressive and david brooks and paul of the new york times said great speech and pretty good plan. what is the plan i am not sure. snu>> it was a great speech and details of the plan are available for anybody to look

at. >> and yeah, i mean the president laid out. it goes back to the argument that that is the republican argument. it is not obamas. >> let me tell you who came out with a two-two hoim run. first of all john bone bone and the republicans forced the president to move from the night of the republican debate in simi california to another night and that was the nfl opening season . second thing he did. it was -- oh, no, they refused to respond. nancy pelosi went bezerk, you know why, then the democrats couldn't focus and the media focused on what the president said. brilliant move. >> what night the speech was going to take place and it was shuffled aa bit . apparently from the white house word that the speech

would run longer than it did . that's part of the reason perhaps that republicans felt that their response would get lost and then the speech is much shorter than it turned out to be. was that manipulation? >> there is a lot of inside baseball . talking points did a time line of the issue of whether or not the speech was crowding the ow republicans and minute by minute for those who care and i was sitting there reading . we talk about concept, the tempalates. the media are viewing obama through tempalates. one that he is jimmy carter and we know how that ends up . harry trumon. and if you see something that you think shows evidence of media bias e-mail us at fox news.com. >> and up next. james hoffa tries to make news. >> president obama, this is

media are playing this. politicians realize how important the media are to their story . gingrich is also attacking and saying don't let the media fool you. pay attention to what they are saying it is an interesting acknowledgment to shape politics. and let me ask you the question. he asked governor perry in texas about executing and do you sleep at night. >> if you turn that question on its head. if a conservative columnist ask a pro abortion politician if he could sleep at night and authorize and support abortion. >> that would never be asked. most questions came from the left and like gingrich did and rom no does, you can turn those kinds of questions around to your advantage. the weirdest moment in the debate was hauling out the
