photos of his own. courted martial response sforn the fort hood massacre is about to start. and reporters show how doing this can your life. >> jon: on the panel, writer judy miller. columnist, cal thomas, jim pinkerton, kirsten powers and fox news contributor rick grenell. i'm jon scott. fox news is on right now. grinnell. "fox news watch" is on now. we the jury find george zimmerman not guilty. >> this case has never been about race, nor has it ever been about the right to bear arms. >> i'm thrilled that this
12:32 pm
jury took this tragedy from becoming a travesty. >> we have an almost white jury and you never get justice in that situation especially in the south. i was numb because i was taken back and jones and all those other situations, we understand that black life means less than white life in america. >> did you see or think when the incident happened that it was racial? >> absolutely not. >> be honest with me rachel, do you think it was racially= motivated or more a case of somebody, black or white? >> it was racial. >> you believe this was racial profiling when it happened because of that? >> we didn't know details about the case. >> with the verdict we lost the battle battled but the war is not over. we intend to fight. >> jon: a small sampling of
12:33 pm
the media coverage following the not guilty verdict in the george zimmerman trial. you heard the prosecutor say this was never about race. why have the media made it about race? >> it's because their gender. much of the time media bias is not just about is what written but it's about what is not written. here we saw huffington post lied with rachel jeantel where she admits that trayvon threw the first punch. huffington post didn't do a story out. they don't even mention it. there is a lot of trying to push the real story aside. >> jon: we have chris matthews on msnbc apologizing for white people. where is all this going? >> let's take another example, nancy grace gets up and uses two words, [ bleep ] that you couldn't put on the air and i
12:34 pm
couldn't see on the air, we would both be fired. instead she sails right on defamed zimmerman. >> and look, it goes on and on. "washington post", giant section on trayvon martin a lynching victim. only problem is the media are failing to sell this to country. the media will say this is the agenda. >> jon: does it tarnish the memory of emmet till and medger evers. >> this is is a very different country and lot has happened sings then. but his president in the trayvon martin tragedy did not use the word race. did not come into his discussion of this. he talked about gun violence.
12:35 pm
he talked about stand-your-ground law but he did not talk about race. >> he had eric holder do it for you. >> stand yur ground. >> jon: and the justice department is still going after george zimmerman or potentially looking at the case as if they may intend to charge him under federal law. >> yeah, i don't think there is anything unusual about that after the riot in the rod did i king riots that first george bush had to have federal action. >> jon: there is something unusual about it. if one crime, a murders happened every day and black on black crime is far bigger problem? >> george bush did it it's not that unusual when there is a situation that has captured the country's attention and people feel that justice is not served. i think that is what some people are missing. i don't see how bringing race
12:36 pm
as an issue -- look, there are people that are race mongering and i don't think nancy grace is great example for reasoned debate. there are people to have a reasonable conversation about this. >> jon: but al sharpton is pushing for the justice department to further charge zimmerman, congressional black caucus wants the same. >> they stir the pond. they stir the pot. other african-american voices besides, jesse jackson. bill cosby who is a great icon in the african-american community for a whole bunch of reasons said he didn't think race was the primary factor in this. in fact he said he stopped watching the high profile cases since what is her name -- the woman is accused of killing her kid. >>. >> there is a double standard when it comes to race.
12:37 pm
a daily in georgia reported four african-american gang members attacked a white man like trayvon martin and he was forced to flee and fled in the street and hit by a car and killed. there is no national attention to that. that is a double standard. >> there was piers morgan and he had rachel jeantel. and next day they said he was one smart cookie. so larry elder reacted with a tweet. piers morgan describes rachel as one smart cookie. et it explains the 19-year-old is still in high school. they accused of morgan of trying to convince her that she is a victim. when they got into it on morgan's program it was interesting television. >> it was. as cal said there are voices out there. let's hope the media is trying to drive the agenda.
12:38 pm
let's hope they actually put on jesse jackson versus larry elder and let them duke it out. >> jon: too much racial hype? >> i think there was an excellent case by rich lowery in the national review. he had a piece in politico, let's talk about race. let's talk about black on black violence. let's talk about the other issues that aren't being talked about because we're all enjoying this one so much. i really think there is place for calm reason and debate. we are having some of it but not enough. >> i want to say if conservatives so concerned about black on black crime, only time they hear them talk about is when they want to stick it to the black community. black on black crime is year round problem but everybody is obsessing about it because they can push their agenda.
12:39 pm
>> let me jump in for a second. the day after when we had all the pro trayvon rallies here in los angeles, we had crime during an after the rally. yet the los angeles times didn't produce one single story covering that crime. there was no separate story on it. they ignored it are you talking about the one at gas station? >> i watched it sapp minutes for cbs affiliate. everything was calm. no, it was the first night and media ignored it. >> was it crime? what was the crime? >> jumping on cars, vandalism, one guy was belted in the face by a bystander. we had multiple -- you didn't hear about it because the los angeles times they didn't write one single story on it. >> jon: the question is being fomented by media coverage.
12:40 pm
is media still ignoring the problems with obamacare? >> congress passed the law. president signed a law. >> white house standing their ground on obamacare despite democrats and key union backers. are the media still on board for the potential train wreck? find out next on news watch. and some superheroes need complete and balanced meals with 23 vitamins and minerals. purina dog chow. help keep him strong. dog chow strong.

12:44 pm
obamacare is growing, big unions have big problems. n a letter james hoffa wrote when you and the president thought our support for the affordable care act, you pledged if we liked the health plans we could keep them. sadly, that is under threat. we voted for you. we have a problem. you need to fix it. we can no longer stand silent to stand elements of the affordable care act that would destroy the very elements healthcare law. >> i don't think they got as much attention like trayvon martin. cal thomas went over to england to report on the health service and those stories get play here. most of the media are doubling down. david gregory attacks
12:45 pm
republicans. law of the land here. let's leave it alone and continue with the fiasco. >> this is 65th anniversary of the national health service in britain. it's falling apart. daily mail and daily telegraf have stories on government reports and other evidence of government run health care in the u.s. not working. this should be a template for the united states to look at. you have people waiting for eight hours to get into a ambulance because doctors are not available. you have hospitals now with an lot of people dying in them because of lack of care or malfeasance by nurses. all this is front page news in the british press and ignored in the united states. i'm suspicious about presidents they trot out a bunch of people at press conference and president did that this week when he talked
12:46 pm
about the benefits if we get the obamacare underway. >> there were no union members. here is the thing, if i was in union i would be serious in the last election, millions of dollars was spent to elect local, congressional candidates even the president of the united states over the fact that healthcare reform was coming all to find in less than six months we're going to pull it back and all that money was a waste? imagine if the koch brothers said we support the obamacare act now. media would go crazy with stories. it's completely being ignored. >> jon: did it get the coverage you expected? >> yeah, exactly. not any. [ laughter ] >> it deserved coverage, absolutely. the approximate with obamacare deserve coverage. i happen to be of the opinion
12:47 pm
in the long run there were lot of problems. medicaid was implemented and lots of people love medicaid but it's still a story, not just republicans that are characterizing it. you have obama's own people talking about it and it should be covered. >> jon: when you hear the bad news about people of the unions not supporting the program and he makes that statement as if he is going to try to sell it again. >> that may do a lot to super persuade people. this is part of how obamacare came to pass. the fact of the matter is, this is terribly difficult issue. it's very hard to write about and write about well. therefore, reporters don't do it because we have to know a lot. this is a political story which is one reason i'm kind of surprised it hasn't gotten more coverage. making obamacare work, that

12:52 pm
how a promising young student was failed by his family, fell into radical islam and became a monster. it has stirred up all kind of reaction. rick, is it warranted? >> i think so. i think mainly it signals that rolling stone is about to fold. every single time a magazine starts to get desperate like newsweek did with cover shots, it signals they are financial trouble. we know the owner of rolling stone is big liberal. he picked the most sympathetic picture they could find. when new york editorial board says time put adolf hitler on the cover, there a huge difference. rolling stone has never put something like this on the cover. this is a sympathetic view of the bomber. >> jon: are they glamorizing the terrorist? >> they probably could have used a different picture.

they call it in the military for the court-martial for major nadal hassan, accused in the fort hood massacre. charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder, 32 counts of attempted murder. faces the death penalty if convicted. trial date august 6th, have you seen much coverage? >> not much. i think the media has intrinsic fear about reporting anything that relates to radical islam. wire stories refer to hassan as a militant. this is a neutral word that has nothing to do what he did and saying he was inspired by the koran and his god to do this. the media really don't like it. they will be forced to cover it unfortunately. >> shootings were november 5th, 2009, almost four years ago. no doubt when he killed those people he violated their
