senator about his vote and if he thinks the president on tuesday can change his mind. >> military strategy with captain chuck nash. we will see you at the top of the next hour. stay tuned. how -- howie is on. >> this is the debut edition of "media buzz." leading our buzz beater this morning, president obama going on the offensive ready to face-off with six network anchors after getting straight on all sides about syria. >> they have to get past the bungling. the fact that the president was ambivalent and didn't communicate that to the secretary of state. >> the constitution is clear. there is not a blank check for any executive, republican or democrat, to bring the country into another ill conceived undefined war. >> why have pundits of all persuasion ripped his attempt to get capitol hill's blessing.

amazon on the potomac. he visits his new property at the "washington post" and the staff tweets everything he says in realtime. we will look at why he thinks he can revive the paper. new york's mayoral primary is upon us and the national press still obsessed with anthony wiener despite his flame out. as they say in the city, what's up with that? and digital download, an ambitious profile of melissa mayor. it is time for the buzz. first a few words about this program. we will hold the media accountable in a fair, aggressive and unbiased way. we will look at how stories are covered and framed and not shy about calling people out for mistakes, conflicts, sensationalism or our own errors when they happen. and a guide to cut through the

static and finger-pointing and focus on the facts and have fun in the process. what's more? we will continue the conversation on-line and we want your feedback. send me a tweet about our show during this hour. it is at media buzz fnc. perhaps we will read some of the messages at the end of the program. from the moment prom halted plans on airstrikes for syria to ask congress for a green light he has been getting pounded by the media from the left, from the right and every way in between. >> you can't leave the region hanging. it looks absolutely as if the united states has chickened out. >> do you feel undermind? do you think the united states has undermind its lempleg in the world? -- its leverage in the world? >> the president is making the case to the congress and the american people for a strike, but no one including me is buying it. >> we know president obama to be the reluctant warrior. he is coming off now as a reluctant leader. >> i think the president's press conference was actually embarrassing. it was as muddled and

unconvincing as you could possibly imagine. >> so why has this mounting mediaism cr -- media criticism cut across the party lines? joining us now, lauren ashburn fox news contributor and david zurich for the washington son and an anchor on the new adventure "post tv." lauren, it seems to be a rare moment when liberal and commentators, left, up, right, down are united in criticism president obama. >> nobody wants this war even the public. look at the polls. 36% are approving of this? that is the lowest number of any of the wars. iraq, afghanistan. i think in the very beginning when we learned that chemical weapons had been used that people thought, okay, the media thought we are going to war. and then as a couple days

moved on and we see a video, videos of the terrible, horrible 400 children who were gassed and killed that everything changed. pundits started to say, no x we are not going to -- no, we are not going to do this. reporters, anchors started to have a skeptical tone. >> what strikes me is often when it comes to president obama you have the gang at msnbc and they are acting as a cheerleading squad, but on this one, chris matthews, ed schulz and others opposing the president on inter veption in syria and i wonder if that says we reached a moment where obama at least on this issue has no friends in the press? >> strange bedfellow here not only in the press, but in congress. you have people like liz cheney and barbara lee agreeing on this that america shouldn't intervene. some people call it a war and the white house is calling it a military inter veption in

limited strikes. when americans hear about this they think of war and they think obviously of iraq and the specter of iraq has determined a lot of the skeptical coverage. and there is the main stroam press. mainstream press. you saw cnn got some of the videos that were released. even in releasing some of the videos there was skepticism on the chain of command. who released the chemical weapons? was it the rebels or the syrian government? >> there is also a question of why were those video reis leased now? >> they weren't publicly released. they were, quote, obtained by cnn and fox news and then made public. but they are too gruesome to show. before we get back to that i want to bring david in. the television nature of this debate means that president obama giving the big oval office speech on tuesday evening. before that, tomorrow he will

sit down with wolf blitzer and brian and scott and diane and it seems to me that can that move the needle, the pulling out the stops and sitting with the big anchors? >> i think president obama knows he is in trouble and he knows this is what he does well. this kind of media blitz is what he does well and so this is his a game and he goes to it. i don't think it can move the dial. in fact, assad as we now know will be on cbs tomorrow in an interview that was taped on sunday with charlie rose. listen, i wonder what the white house is like today finding that out. here is part of what i think went wrong with this. president obama and secretary of state kerry talked in this high moral plain of immonic moment and neither of them has that moral authority. i think that's why president obama tried to bring mccain into this because he does. >> you are saying the

president of the united states -- i want to stay focused on the media. >> you say he has no moral authority. you are acting as a public dit and saying -- public dit and saying this guy doesn't have what it takes to persuade the country. but don't people in our business have a lot to do with this? their tone has consistently been skeptical, aggressive, is this another iraq? >> gee, i wonder why after the history of the administration? that's our job. they come out and sell this and -- i tell you who has done a good job in the media, cspan with the congressional hearings. mike mccal from texas when he questioned the nature of the opposition and kerry's facts were all over the place. there is no radical, oh, maybe 20%. they have been telling us a narrative without facts. >> when the "washington post" describes the evidence of chemical attacks by the assad

regime as alleged i wonder if he would have seen that in 2002 and 2003 and whether there is such a hangover from the dark shadow of iraq that many in the media feel like they have got to be more cautious and skeptical about this. >> it is the reason why the media is singing this chorus of caution. you see it everywhere. people remember and journalists remember the iraq war and the mistakes that were made in that war and in reporting that war. >> that's right. people lost their jobs, right? everybody thinks about judith miller's reporting. >> at the new york times. well she went to jail on an unrelated case, but people lost their reputations and people had to apologize for being too credited you los about the bush administration's claims. here you have almost a perfect storm. you have the natural skepticism of the press having taken a beating over iraq and you have the fact that there is so little support apparently in the country for

this military intervention. it would be different if the president had just done it unilaterally. in a way are the media reflecting public sentiment? >> they reflected public sentiment back during the iraq war too. the context was we were just hit in september in the public and they very much were wanting blood in someways and believe there is a connection between saddam and al-qaeda and i think the press reflected that. i don't think the press should always reflect what the public thinks especially if the public is misinformed. but i think with this it is very very -- i have had a hard time finding just regular people let alone folks in the press supportive of this war. most people are skeptical. >> we talk about the pictures or lack there of since there are few reporters in syria. it is dangerous and risky to go there, but the new york times ran that and obtained out of syria last year. talk about that front page

picture and what impact it may have had. >> the 27-year-old rebel commander who they call uncle has guns pointed over these seven soldiers. >> cap you are tood government soldiers and later executed and that was quite an eye opener. >> right. but it also muddles for reporters. while we were thinking that the narrative was the rebels are okay and the assad regime is wrong, but then you look at that and then you think, wait a minute, it is happening on both sides. >> i have an exit question here having to do with the role of commentators. we saw white house strategy sessions, trying to get everybody on the same talking points and who goes over there but a bunch of former obama aides. talking about stephanie cuter who is the new host of "cross fire" and former msn people who are now common --

commentators. >> it is outrageous. we talked about that especially with gibbs and axel rod. when i watch them, especially gibbs, he sits there in a coma and somebody says something bad about president obama and he jumps up. they are loyalists. they are hard core loyalists. that's not what the media should not be -- >> one at a time. >> that's their job. it is very clear who stephanie cuter is. she worked for obama and she is on a show that is an opinion show. >>- q. i and that's why she was -- >> that's why she was hired. viewers expect her to have an inside knowledge of how the white house works and a current pipeline. i don't necessarily -- i don't think anyone thinks stephanie gibbs -- stephanie cuter or robert gibbs are commentators. >> of course she will be pro obama. there seems to be a little difference between that stance and going to strategy

meetings. by the way -- >> yes, so he can craft his message. >> by the way, when karl rove appears on fox and he is in charge of raising money for public candidates and presidential candidates possibly the last time around newt gingrich appearing on fox it was fair to question whether they are pushing an agenda. >> let's go to war for moral reasons. let's convince the country of the moral righteousness of it and not five spin doctors sitting in the white house cooking up a strategy. >> i'm sorry, but that is what the program is. as long as you are transparent to your readers -- >> that's the question. will they be transparent? >> they know who these people are. >> we are out of time for this segment. send a tweet to our show at media buzz fnc. we hope to read some later. when we come back, a billionaire is visiting his new property. and the staff tweets

everything about the new founder. we'll take you behind the scenes in a moment.

it is time to meet the new boss at the "washington post" with the amazon founder showing up to answer questions. these were no softball questions. some involved journalistic ethics. you were there and what was the reaction to the new owner who had maintained this extraordinarily low profile before showing up at the the post? >> that's right. he had an interview with our reporters there. but he isn't a guy who is very friendly to the press in terms of giving interest you -- interviews. i will say my whole reaction was sadness and shock. i think that was everyone's response initially because there is just such an attachment that folks at the post have to the family. >> that was my reaction after working there for so long. how can this be happening? what is your second reaction?

>> my second reaction is a lot of hope. that's where we are more generally. you look at what he said. he is talking about invention. he is focusing on the customer. he is talking about a long-term strategy and this idea that the post can't cut its way to growth which i think a lot of folks want to do. >> i think in newspaper boardrooms across the country executives were saying what does he know that we don't know? why would he invest $250 million of his own money? albeit that's not a lot of money since he is worth $24 billion. >> that's a key thing though. he can spend a lot of money on this and not worry about so many acquisitions of struggling newspapers squeezing profits. >> and your p and l has to of ma. with digital revenue not living up to what print advertising and circulating revenue has to be, you have to invent and you have to find new ways to get that revenue. >> let me read some of the tweets that the "washington post" staffers sent out while jeff was still addressing the

staff. the first has to do with the question of how can you run a newspaper when at the same time amazon says no comment. i thought that the most powerful minds in the world can hold powerful inconsistencies. that's a duck. he was worried about any product that was 100% ad supported. then, says bezos that you are advertisers. then you are not around. you are a newspaper guy. can the guy who revolutionized the book business in an on-line retailing help reinvent the way the news is delivered? >> i sat through too many of these owners walking in the newsroom. i have been through too many of them. i have to say for a cynical a lot as we are, we are always incredibly optimistic because now it is our mortgage payment and we want this person to be a genius. we want them to be a genius. i was looking at the tweets as

they were coming out and thinking, oh yeah, i have been there. we love them. the number one need -- the number one rule must be don't be boring. i get that. >> he said that for 20 years though. is there a concern that this is a guy who still lives in seattle and keeps his day job at amazon and he will be too hands-off and he has, as he puts it, no magic wand? >> i think people want him to be hands-off. they have had a great run over the last six months and we have the new editor and i don't think we want him medaling in the editorial part of the paper. we want his business savy. >> on that point, he says the "washington post" does great investigative reporting, which is true. then these other sites come along anding a aggregate it for free which takes it away from wanting to say pay for digital subscription. >> that is a whole newspaper problem right there in a nutshell. no one wants to pay for what is on the internet.

getting digital subscribers was very difficult. and it took the new york times and the "washington post" a long time to make that jump. >> in fact the baltimore sun went digital before the post. >> there is your mortgage right there. >> bottom line, reporting is expensive. great discussion. up next, two day days to go before the vote for the new york mayor. and they are still talking about anthony wiener mouthing off to a heckler?

the national media couldn't get enough of new york's mayoral race when the campaign was melting down over

yet another sexting scandal. with the democratic primary two days away and anthony wiener way down in the polls the press is still on his case. he responded sharply to a heckler who taunted him. >> that's very nice. in front of children, that is charming. >> you are disgusting. >> it takes one to know one, [bleep]. >> why is this man still news? joining us now is michelle connell, washington correspondent for "the daily beast" and the digital politics editor and anchor of" power play" on fox news.com. welcome, michelle. my question is this video of anthony wiener going on and on and on after this guy verbally accosted him. why is it big news? >> everybody loves a train wreck and anthony wiener has been a pretty consistent train wreck for the last several months. while as a congressman he wasn't that great and as a mayoral candidate he is down

in the polls, he is a --is penis is a national celebrity. >> i don't want to talk about genitalia anymore. >> this woman came out and said they were sexting even after he came out. >> she was on the up and on. >> now he is in the single digits and he is not going to be the next mayor of new york city and he gets into it with a heckler. i have seen that tape on-line or on television a hundred times. it is not even about sex. >> and he was on sundae show today and he is around talking. there is a moment in the wiener campaign when the two things meshed up. one was new york is about to have its first democratic mayor in 20 years. liberals in new york are tired

of authoritarianism. wiener had sex appeal -- not appeal, but had sex anyway. and then this political story. the two lived happily in that space. we could talk about a grown up thing which was democrats trending more liberal left and then we can make people -- it was like a flint stone vitamin. now the two have decoupled and what are we left with? chris star says we are not grown-ups by going with the easy cheesy tabloid sensational and let's kick anthony wiener around. >> right now the word anthony wiener and grown up should never be used in the same sentence. it is sad. >> chris, you mentioned a sunday show. i was stunned to learn that meet the press aired an interview conducted by savannah guthrie, the only one

to be on that nbc program. let's look at that. >> your wife was part of that piece and she talked about how you changed. at that time she didn't even know that your behavior was continuing, that it was still going on. doesn't that not show a capacity to look somebody in the eye and lie, not just your wife, but the reporter and the public? >> things were a lot better during that people magazine profile, they were a lot better. >> chris? >> i am agag. a guy accused of internet flashing on a park bench in new york and i don't know if that is the right setting. >> you had to go there. >> she went there. savannah guthrie went there. >> what about nbc's decision to give this guy air time when , as you point out, bill deblazio is not a household name, but he is in the polls and maybe the next mayor. kristine quinn are the next

candidates back in the pack. yet the national coverage -- not in new york or the city, but the national coverage is not about them. it is about this guy. >> this race matters because california and new york could be leading indicators of where the country is going. we see in new york it matters to the rest of america. as they trend -- new york democrats trend back left and away from the authoritarian stance, that's not good for president obama. >> that is a sweet approach as to how we cover news. none are electrifing figures and that's all they care about. people watch anthony wiener because bill deblazio is not making anybody's heart go pitter pat. >> she is the council speaker, if i have that right. she would have been or still could be the first woman to lead the city and the first lesbian to lead the city. why is that not a natural story? why are we stuck on this wiener story? >> it is hard to get through a discussion about him without cracking up. he has become a national joke. that is -- we can't look

away. people just can't get their mind around what he did and he nearly won this thing. >> speaking of sex in new york politics, why is there sudden interest in the new york city controller's race that happens to include one elliott spitzer? >> you don't find it an inherently fascinating election in itself? >> it is a come back story, but isn't it spitzer and pat tron niecessing prostitutes? >> i am talking about what we would be covering otherwise, we would never cover the new york city comptroller. we noticed even client number nine cannot rows interest -- rouse interest. >> that is so wrong. >> moderately long. >> the los angeles mayor's race before this and the new york city mayor's race, two important jobs and the amount of national attention either one got for non-hijinx related

stuff. thank you for joining us. he is back. keith olberman has a lot to say. did you know sports writing could be the worse in the world?

we are live from america's news headquarters. hi, i'm jaime colby. there are new developments in the white house push to rally congress and the american people behind a military strike on syria. the obama administration dispatching chief of staff dennis mcdunno to the talk shows and the white house holding a dinner for senate republicans and president obama is lining up six television interviews on monday before a major tuesday night address to the american people. you can see that on fox. and assessing the damage from one of the largest fires in u.s. history, federal environmental scientists are deploying to yosemite national

park where thousands of firefighters are still battling the blaze. it has cost more than $89 million and it will cost tens of millions more to repair the environmental damage there. i'm jaime colby and join media buzz with -- and enjoy "media buzz" with howard and i will see you at noon. >> this is a fox buzz alert. a new media critic is making waves on television. he is keith olbermann. you remember him with the messy divorces and now he returned to espn and he is securing the press about sports. here he is slamming cbs columnist for writing while he is sympathetic to football players who suffer concussions his selfish view is that his job depends on the nfl. >> the columnist states, boasts that his journalism is compromised by his conclusion that without the nfl he wouldn't have a job.

>> olbermann ripped management after they denounced rex ryan for playing a star quarterback who was injured in an exhibition game. >> rex ryan took an ep tau tude of incompetence with a bone -- bone headed move that could conceal his job with the jets. says who? who is the source? who says it could cost his job. reporting is dead. long live making something out of nothing. >> dead? well that's a little harsh. olbermann loves throwing elbows and his style is not for everyone, but it is fun watching him take on the sports writing crowd. i want to correct something one of our guests said about judith miller said about leaving the new york times over her iraq reporting. she resigned from the paper and is now a fox news contributor. send me a tweet. i will read the best one after the program. after the break a veteran

journalist has been weighing in on the syria bough date and giving a -- debate and giving a platform to those people. he will be here.

the syria debate has been echoing across the media landscape and especially on the web which opens the dialogue to far more voices than television ever could. the national correspondent of "the atlantic" has been a

mercinary of the debate. he joins me now. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> you are skeptical of syria. talk about the rebuttals on your blog including one case from a military officer and an officer's wife. >> this is a kind of journalism that wasn't possible when you and i started a generation ago which is to have in realtime a range of opinion, and not just the views or the gut viceral expression, but people in realtime are with the military and are in the middle east and this is the affect on our army and this is why they should strike or not and to me it has been an informative realtime debate. >> let me play devil's advocate. you are opening this up to readers, smart readers, but you are the journalist. you are the expert. you have been a correspondent in china. why should i as a reader care what your readers think? >> there is a useful test of the market. one thing i deliberately don't do on my part of the atlantic

site and everybody else does is i don't have unmoderated comments. my impression is that is a race to the bottom and people yell at each other. >> you are not totally opening up. >> no, but i am able to get probably a couple hundred messages a day from people around the world who have informed views. enough of them are interesting , but i feel as if this is a new way to add to the debate. what we have done is go out and interview people and you report the things that seem worth while, the significant things representing a range of opinion. this is an easier, higher volume and a potentially more available way of doing the same thing. >> you pose a series of questions in your writing such as what is the administration's theory of victory? what could go wrong if there were military strikes? have the media been diligent in posing those questions? >> it is always a case of the media and we overreact to the last mistake we made. the mistakes about iraq are very much on people's minds. >> are you not minimizing those mistakes. >> they were disasterous.

that was something many people including me ahead of time said, look, we are doing that too rationally. syria is different from iraq. the media are asking more questions now and the odd thing about the administration's case is it is all saying there is a problem which everyone agrees with. it is the connection between that problem and the proposed solution where the most interesting debate is happening now. >> a lot of what i read and a lot of the skepticism i read is embedded in the straight president aring. you saw it in the -- straight reporting. you saw it in the commentary ad, but was this a good or bad move politically? why did he go to congress? has there been more about american politics and less about the u.s. response to what had been seen as a red line in assad's use of chemical weapons? >> sure, this is a reality-based of dc journalism. most people here like politics

and it is always easier to convert something to its political ramifications than to know about the actual substance. >> who is going to win? who is going to lose? >> exactly. i remember back in the reagan days there was a military strike he did and all of the stories the next day was what does this mean foray again's pop -- for reagan's popularity? >> there was a story the other day when a republican congressman asked secretary of state john kerry about tom freedman of the new york times who opposed intervention and kerry said i often agree with tom freeman, but not in this case. >> showing there is no new data. there is a famous cartoon from the thorker in the 1930s of a congressional hearing saying boying to no one and my respect to walter lipman. so this has been around for a longtime. a plus of this media age is there is a range of opinions. people have the megaphone of a regular column, but now you and i can get messages from people who say i am a serving

colonel in the u.s. marine corp and this is what i see. i am somebody who knows about chemical weapons and this is what i see. it is a bigger range. >> when president obama pulled back from the brink of ordering airstrikes at the last minute you posted something in the atlantic right away. and then an hour later you read the transcript and you posted again. we get to watch your thought process in a way that would be hard to imagine a decade ago. >> and realtime anything is messy. that includes the realtime factor and that is our blog software crashed and i spent an hour writing something and there is a five-minute recap. this is good. the transparency has its defects. your previous segment about anthony wiener, but in general the institutions of all kinds can't just assert their authority anymore and it does better to show people -- show your evidence, show your homework, show them reaching your conclusion. >> these are tough times for magazines. you were out in sioux falls and you are going to visit small town america. what is that about? >> a project called american

future. my wife and i are flying around the country and seeing economic and cultural stories around the country. >> and instruct tiff for you? >> very much so. >> we will look for that. thank you for joining us. >> congratulations on your show. >> i appreciate it. and the media went way over board the other day when president obama greeted vladimir putin in the russia. this is how chuck todd let off his piece. >> usually in the world of diplomacy a handshake is simply a handshake, but when it comes to watching a handshake between president obama and vladimir putin whose differences on syria have completely overshadowed this economic conference. >> that was fine, but then slate called it the world's most awkward handshake. a tense handshake said the "washington post." and then there was a business insider, obama gives putin a death stair. calm down.

sometimes a handshake is just a handshake. and coming up, stipging criticism and some say even sexist. we'll debate that next in digital download.

time now for our digital download. >> marissa mayor is a celebrity ceo and getting all kinds of coverage since she took over yahoo!. the subject of tense controversy. >> the job is really fun. yahoo! is a really -- yahoo! is a really fun place to work. i really love the people there and i love the spirit of the place. >> now a 20,000-word unauthorized by yoking dwraw

fee on business insider sparked a debate on whether the press treats mayer more harshly because she is a woman. look at what has been said and written about mayer over the last yeerk. sexism? >> of course. 21 of the fortune 500ceo's are women. people do not know how to cover women in the media. >> in 2013? >> in 2 have 13. in 2013. 21 out of 500, yes. women are in a double bind. one on how they look. if you look goodment if you are put -- if you look good, if you are put together people automatically assume are barbie and are stupid. >> that does president -- that doesn't happen on tv, does it? >> but if you don't look good and look from -- frumpy, it tran sends that you don't care about your job. >> mayer gets an enormous amount of coverage and she

gets to bask in that. it is good for yahoo! and then if somebody criticizes her for doing her chief executive job, this is sexism. >> that's not true. people do not spend the -- spend more time talking about her job. look at the new yahoo! e-mail design, the logo design. how many articles were there about that and how many about this vogue spread she did? >> can we look at that control room? she was obviously -- probably spent many hours getting fitted and made up. nobody forced the ceo of yahoo! to pose for those pictures. you are complaining that we are covering it? >> no, i'm saying, again, it is a double bind. you want to look good and maybe get in an audience you wouldn't get in normally and you put yourself out there on "vogue" and people will say, oh that's all she is is a pretty face. this woman has an engineering degree and has -- was one of the first employees of google jie. she is supremely

qualified. let's go baying -- let's go back to the article. in the criticism area he calls her robotic, stuck up, absurd in her obsession with detail and constantly late and cancels meetings and seems fair game to me. >> i read that business insider article once and read it again and put in the pronoun he instead of she and it read fine to me. he even criticized former acting ceo ross levenson and said how good he looked in his sweater vest. i felt like he did a great job at really trying to humanize her, criticize her and at the same time be fair. >> at the same time he said she was brilliant and she got traffic up on the yahoo! site. and yet there was a kneejerk reaction saying he is calling her robotic and stuck up and it is sexism. >> we are never going to win on this until women -- until there are more women ceo's period.

you hear cheryl sandburg in her book "lean in" about how women do not want to lean in. i think we are not really seeing marissa mayer lean in in the way cheryl sandburg would like her to addressing these issues. she says she is gender neutral and it is time for the press to become so too. >> we won't settle it here. let's take it outside. still to come, the huffing ton post promised a big scoop. why they are both losers in my view and falling asleep on-the-job takes on a new meaning when america is watching. our buzz worthy segment is straight ahead.

for your best tweets this past hour, "congrats hoping for a long tenure at media buzz." "excellent opening segment. love the lively unbiased

debate." and "awesome, i didn't realize how many i missed an excellent critical look at the media and see you back on sunday." we will see you. and "what took you so long. this format is overdue. i hope it catches on. we need a watchful eye on the media." when you criticize us, we will read those too. it looked like an eye catching scoop on the huffington post home page. sortses says boehner out after the 2014 elections. out? really, the house speaker stepping down? once you click the inside headline it was softer. former boehner aids expect house speaker will step down after 2014 elections. expect huh? the lead was even more 10 tau at the saying unnamed gop operatives and aids are, quote, increasingly convinced he will abandon the job. john boehner has had a rough tenure and it may be true, but despite the bold headline this is baskly speculation. cbs and time warner cable

settled their slug fest that had knocked the network off the cable air waves in new york, l.a. and dallas. they said they got most of what it wanted in increased subscriber fees and a big pile of cash was at stake. i say both were losers to giant corporations who look greedy by penalizing viewers rather than waiting until the football season to settle. it was like the iran-iraq war. nobody to root for. and finally do you think it is easy showing up for work before sunrise and having to be on the air at 6:00 a.m.? that's why i am inclined to cut tucker carlson slack for what happened recently on "fox and friends." >> i don't think we are being good co-hosts right now. >> good to see you. welcome to "fox and friends." >> i know we are not on television. >> no need to be embarrassed. this is a commercial break. >> is this honestly on tv? >> we are on tevision. >> we are live.

>> well it turns out tucker worked late the night before. if it was me i would have cringed behind the couch. tucker carlson says he has been on "dancing with the stars" so it is impossible to embarrass him. that's it for our first edition of "media buzz." so glad you could join us. let's continue the conversation on twitter at media buzz fnc, on facebook and on our home page. fox news.com/media buzz. we will be back here sunday morning at 11:00 eastern. you can see us at 5:00 eastern and this is an important part of the program as i see it. for us to be in a dialogue with you. we are all used to media people shouting at us and you pick up the paper and you can see what they have written. we want your voices and we want you to participate and we want to hear from you on facebook, twitter, e-mail, youtube, you name it and we will respond to it and we will respond on lean and will respond on-line on the show as we did. you can tell i have 24 seconds

to fill which is why i am able to talk to you about this. hope you will be back with us in the future. next sunday when it is time for more buzz. we start with a fox news alert on the crisis in syria. our nation's top diplomats are saying that the united states has not ruled out going back to the united nations security council for another vote on syria. that though after united nations inspectors complete their report on last month's alleged chemical attack. that report could come later this week. secretary of state john kerry who was overseas trying to bolster international support for the military strikes against the assad regime. mr. kerry is saying this morning the option to wait for the u.n report before military action starts is still on the table. some world leaders demanded just that, but he says the president
