2:01 pm
republicans. president obama always gets good press from the mainstream media. poor republicans get dumped on, blah, blah, blah. republicans whine about it, including my brothers and sisters at "the five." put down your crying towel and pick up a copy of the highly respected and independent study by the pew research center. they did exhaustive study. guess what? the press loves romney. he get better press coverage in ten of the last 15 weeks. president obama got more negative press than positive press in the entire 15 weeks. in fact, a week of positive coverage. put that in your pipe and smoke it. what do you say about that? >> eric: a lot of stuff to say about it. what they did is polled every time someone said something negative about president obam
2:02 pm
obama. that was considered a negative piece on obama. we know there were four viable candidates taking shots at obama. number two, the gas prices have been -- the study was from january through april. the gasoline prices have been going up the entire time with the exception of last week. what doles you get? positive spin out of that? any way you slice it, all of them added up, four guys going after one, that's why -- when it's one-on-one like now, it's actually -- >> bob: i know all about four on one. >> dana: the discrepancy comes down to excellent p.r. work by the romney team. the president has bad facts. if they did the 15 weaks of coverage when he was running against the primary and clinton versus romney that would have been apples to apples. this is apples to oranges.
2:03 pm
romney isn't responsible for anything. president obama is. the chickens are only coming home to roost. therefore when you have bad facts you have bad stories. he >> bob: obama wasn't responsible to 2008. >> dana: but that would have been the more accurate comparison. they did it in the last 15 weeks for both of them. it's not apples to apples. >> bob: they have gone in tank for romney. >> andrea: they didn't. >> greg: first, i want to address john lovitz. once you lose him, you lost america. he is the nation's windsock. if i was president obama i'd be nervous who will fall next. i don't know. who knows? >> bob: you and eric tie for the most, blah, blah blah, main stream media, obama. what do you say about this? >> andrea: look at the total of stories on gas prices. there have been four times as
2:04 pm
many gas price stories underpresident bush than president obama. bob doesn't trust anything i say. i learned that. look at the politico jim handehei. he said are reporters biased? no doubt. it work at the "wall street journal," politico and all the reporters in a room, they will vote democratic. the guy that wrote "game change" said they don't like romney. last week, jake tapper, not a conservative, he acknowledged in 2008 the media jil wilted for president obama. these are three reporters admitting that the media slanted to obama and they don't like obama. >> bob: apparently i cut you off when you were going to make a joke. >> greg: no, i was making a point about the "new york times" admitting basking in the glow of obama election.
2:05 pm
like the election was a motel rendezvous. my favorite part of the article the ombudsman admits, a strong current of skepticism holds that the paper skews left. that could be due to political views that creep to nonpolitical coverage and he says that the perception that it skews left is because it skews left. that is amazing. >> bob: is that a headline? we know they skew left. >> bob: so you just refuted your opening. >> bob: no. i just said that in the 2008 campaign, they skewed left. no question about it. i suspect they will again, too. this is ombudsman, now. aren't they hired to take on their own press? >> bob: that was a tough article. >> if you suspect they skew left, and you suspect they will skew left in the future,
2:06 pm
why would they skew right for romney? you admit they don't want to run against romney. >> bob: right. they would prefer to run against santorum. romney a formidable candidate. no question. >> andrea: why would they help him win? >> eric: another thing that happened. the open mic flap when president obama leaned over and told medvedev to bring it back to putin because my next -- there were a lot of stories. and the main stream media couldn't ignore it because it was important. >> bob: there will be news every day. is there good news on the horizon? >> greg: it's how it was reported. if it was romney it would have
2:07 pm
been supported more severely, to use romney's term than obama. for the media like the old commercial with imagin madge. they're not aware of the bias because they're soaking in it. palmolive. >> dana: i could use some now. i would love to make a couple of points. the "new york times," one reason that it matters, talking about the "new york times" and the ombudsman, that paper still is the one that sets the agenda for other things. every news producer reads the "new york times" and get ideas for stories and cover them later on. that is why it's powerful. i do think that social media changed a lot in conservative favor this time around. the peer pressure is immense among reporters. reporters write for one another. believe me. when they do that, if there is pressure, like that wasn't there. that's not true. that is not right. then they feel like they have to correct it right away not as trigger happy as they used
2:08 pm
to be. that doesn't happen much anymore. >> bob: the times ran another story, that mitt romney not drinking beer. they went back to every president that hadn't drank. it was weird. people like roosevelt who drank martinis was a great success. what is that? >> andrea: they're trying to paint him as bizarre and strange. the pictures, do you notice the pictures that the "new york times" chooses? i remember one specifically. front page picture of michele bachmann and her husband, in church. her husband had his hand up. they were trying to paint him as religious zealot. subtlement that they do with the photos they select. >> greg: there is amazing hypocrisy than reporters talking about alcohol. you could not find a drunker bunch of people than the planet. their entire life is based on free drink and free buffet.
2:09 pm
>> andrea: you're talking about "the five"? >> bob: yeah, except for "the five." >> greg: bob is already there. only they could say it would not impair the judgment. >> dana: maybe that's why they think they can't relate. president bush admitted he had a drinking problem and stopped drinking cold turkey and never went back to it, which was, well, he says that was the best decision he ever made. it allowed his marriage to continue and his family to grow nice and strong and he became president. >> greg: he hired you. a big mistake. >> dana: i am a monster, i'm being revealed. i drank, too. >> bob: i thought that was one of the best chapters i read. >> andrea: this is dangerou dangerous. fighting back and now are we going to talk about obama's cocaine use? >> bob: i want to reinforce
2:10 pm
greg's. when i was at the carter white house, he took the alcohol out of the white house. i didn't drink it, because you couldn't get drunk fast enough so i would sneak vodka in the place and reporters would come to my office to drink. >> dana: why white wine? the rug? >> bob: who drinks white wine. >> greg: it's great in the summertime. >> bob: i can't take it. couldn't get drunk on it. coming up, the advisor david axelrod says the president is saving taxpayers all kind of money. i agree. is that true? we'll debate it. hey, e-mail us at "the five" at thefive@foxnews.com. don't forget. ♪ ♪

when you think of the u.s. government, do you think of thrifty? do you think that the government actually saves money? well, obama advisor david axelrod does. this is not the comedy channel, folks. listen to axelrod explaining that the government actually saves us money all the time. >> i think that the gsa problem is concerning yes, and the president was furious when he learned of it. we imposed new strictures relative to waste and inefficiency and fraud that saved tens of billions of dollars. we saved taxpayers money all the time. >> andrea: get your thank you notes out, eric bolling. i see you ready to write the administration thank you card for the shrimp on the treadmill, the money they wasted there, turtle tunnels, chinese alcoholic prostitute studies. those are beneficial and stimulative. they're saving us money. how can they make that arguement? >> eric: you know who had a great comment, joe lieberman on "fox news sunday." he said we can hold the president accountable but not responsible.
2:16 pm
that makes sense. he can't know everything that is going on. light with the gsa. he can be accountable for culture and the environment. what it seems to be is a culture of waste, fraud and abuse within the whole government right now. people are willing to take chances and trying to do things to put people in jail. >> andrea: do you think it includes the secret service? >> eric: i say so, but again hesitate not to throw a grenade at the secret service. they do a fantastic job. the culture, they see it there, and over there. you know places that are run properly? this place is. there are things that get away with and don't. >> andrea: i still don't have a pen. i don't have a pen. >> bob: i heard about waste, fraud and corruption every administration since i was a kid. same thing over and over. the reason that axelrod's argument is not going to work, they have tried to get safings.
2:17 pm
but the $1.5 trillion deficit, $1 trillion. the reality is you can talk about the deficit unless and until we get this under control. >> eric: you talk about the gsa. >> bob: people in the gsa has had all kind of trouble. not laying it on bush. in 2008, they indicted a guy and got convicted as a felon for a $40,000 bribe to construction worker and clinton administration. endless stuff on title 8 and george w. bush, the housing thing. it goes back. they're not responsible for that. >> andrea: in regard to the g.s.a. scandal, president obama said he was apoplectic about it. >> dana: is he apoplectic about anything? no drama obama. >> andrea: solyndra, not
2:18 pm
apoplectic about that. but he is about this. bob brought up entitlement. the president hasn't put together a plan on entitlement. if he serious -- i know what bob said. had a meeting with boehner. why not put a plan out there. >> dana: there was an in-depth story by the "washington post" that debunks that and said boehner was at the table and the white house walked away. let's not debate that. social security versus medicare piece. i agree with bob. on the front page of the "wall street journal" today, the story that says that the insolvency of the social security program is actually three years sooner than even predicted last year. take the entire gdp of the united states in the next 14 months and you won't come close. dealing with just that problem. so the scale is like this. this is an important and embarrassing problem for the administration they have to deal with. the fact they have not articulated what they would do to deal with this problem going forward, especially as we watch what is happening in europe, you can see it happening before our very eyes.
2:19 pm
there is not a plan in place. not a willingness for both parties to come together. that is a problem. >> andrea: get greg in there. they are not going to put together a plan and put forth a plan in an election year. why would they have their members take risky votes on cutting benefit or cutting social security. no one stepping up? >> greg: the other thing in terms of stepping up, we have been covering this a lot. if there is a switch in power, and the republicans do not talk about this, they're jerks. we are at a point we look at the origin of the tea party why it happened. there is a change going on in america we realize we are entitlement junkies. junkies can't see they are addicted which is why when you go to sleep they go through your pockets and deny it. now we're seeing we are addicted to entitlements. if all of a sud then goes away, the republicans stop complaining about it. or we stop complaining about it because we're obama is no longer in power, then we're hypocrites. >> bob: they have an opportunity to vote in the
2:20 pm
house and they have majority and they won't put up their own plan. don't blame obama. >> greg: everybody is scared of the -- they're scared because it's about older people. >> andrea: gingrich came out with a plan and you vilified him for it. >> bob: the republicans didn't pick up on it, did they? >> eric: not only is there a culture of entitlement in the administration. there is something in the news that is important. $8 billion program supposed to be for experimental analysis on when obama, switch over to obama care, full-fledged what will happen. $8 billion. supposed to experiment trying to find ways to save money. what do you -- the administration is using that $8 billion to do, to tie the administration, to tie the senior citizens over, because medicare advantage is going to go in a year. they don't want it to go away now like they want it to go
2:21 pm
away. use the $8 billion to tide them over to bridge people so the elderly can vote before the medicare advantage -- >> bob: you can remember the reagan administration with the $4,000 toilets and the $200 hammers? i don't care any administration -- >> eric: this is -- >> bob: every administration misuses money. every one of them do. >> dana: but axelrod says they don't. they care about this administration. >> bob: what he should have said we haven't come to grips with entitlele. nobody has. republicans or democrats. until we do tax reform it won't happen. >> andrea: how can he say that when the administration went and created a new giant entitlement costing us way more. >> bob: gao says it makes us there ar$1 trillion. come up with an alternative to healthcare. >> greg: conservatives don't believe that the answer is in a government program so you can't demand them to do that.
