>> all right, everybody. so take care of your guys and that's going to do it for us. >> coming up is media buzz. >> with howie kurtz. >> coming up right now. >> have a great day, everybody. thanks for joining us on "sunday house call." >> take care. >> on the buzz beater, the white house blames him for the mounting criticism that president obama is failing to lead. why he says it's time for the media to demand answers on obama care. >> obviously, this is a miscalculation and it's not correct and i think it's right for the media to kind of say let's straighten this out. >> bob woodward on whether the press is holding the president accountable and his relationship with the washington post's new owner jeff bezos. chuck todd asks president obama about that broken promise on health care.

>> do you feel like you oh owe the american people an apology for misleading them? >> did nbc's political director do the job or let the president escape? "60 minutes" apologizes ge the fatal attack in benghazi. >> in this case, we were wrong. we made a mistake. >> how did that happen? we'll take a look at what happened. plus, some pundits are swooning over chris christie after his big re-election. he's all over the sunday shows and on the cover of "time." but can this romance last? i'm howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." >> we've got a lot of hot issues on the program. send me a tweet @howardkurtz. on "60 minutes" report on benghazi has turned into a huge

black eye for cbs. lauren talked to a contractor who said that night that he scaled the compound that was overrun with al qaeda fighters. >> one guy saw me. i just shouted. i couldn't believe that he'd seen me because it was so dark. and he started walking towards me. >> and as i was coming closer -- >> as he got closer, i hit him with the butt of the rifle in the face. >> and -- >> i went down. >> he dropped. >> yes. like a stone. >> was his face smashed in? >> yeah. >> but as "the washington post" reported, davies had filed a report to his boss saying he couldn't get anywhere near the compound on the night of the attack. davies now says he lied in that report telling the daily beast he didn't want his supervisor to know he disobeyed orders to stay at his villa. laura logan defended her report saying that the program should have disclosed that davies had written a book about the attack.

but on friday morning, logan said "60 minutes" would run a correction on tonight's program. >> nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake. but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say that you were wrong. and in this case, we were wrong. we made a mistake. >> what happened? the "new york times" reported that davies had told the fbi that he did not go to the compound that night. directly contradicting his account to "60 minutes." >> what we now know is that he told the fbi a different story to what he told us. that was the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source and that we were wrong to put him on air and we apologized to our viewers. >> joining us now, lauren ashburn, fox news contributor. jim pinkerton, a fox news contributor and contributing editor and dana millbank,

columnist for "the washington post." over the past week as more journalists raise questions about the veracity of the "60 minutes" report, how did the program handle it? >> they hunkered dune, they did what companies do when they're under attack. they stonewalled, they don't open their mouths. which is a huge mistake. it always leads to more questions from the media as the media should know. but they bet all of their marbles on a guy who lieded to them. and they said they had systems in place to do it. the apology was rock solid. given the importance of the benghazi story, jim pinkerton, how bad a mistake is this? >> it was a bad mistake. it was corporate synergies run amuck. they had the book publisher in the same division so they knew they were going to make a lot of money if this worked. but i think what also needs to be told is the story of the enormous pressure that groups put on "60 minutes" to do this. the hillary clinton machine pushing back on every last thing

on benghazi, including real questions about the timeline of that night and where the mohammed video came from, those questions are being zell squels. >> if this story is flat wrong, which seems to be the case, isn't the pressure warranted? >> yes. any story that any network or any journalist does on benghazi gets a fuselage from media matters and other groups. in addition to the mistake that cbs made. >> dana, once cbs did apologize, i have to see the president of cbs news and the executive producer of "60 minutes" he came out and said we have to own this. he said it's a black eye, this is as big as a mistake as has ever been made on "60 minutes." and i'm wondering how did they put this on the air based the

story of one guy who told his own bosses he wasn't even there that schneidnight? >> they put a lot of credibility in one person. usually when somebody is going to go to such lengths of a long period of time, i think there's a lot of issues here internally, whether 60 minutes has enough relationship with the news division, there are probably people in cbs who probably could have done something to prevent this in the first place. but this is a moment of the conservative mainstream media getting the story wrong. >> i'd have to take you on about this. i disagree. i think "60 minutes" is the gold standard for news and for news magazines. jeff is an amazing producer, has worked his way up through the company. lara logan has spent 20 years as a correspondent. she started in 2002 there and has put herself in harm's way. i'm not saying mistakes weren't

made, but i think to say that someone in the news division could have seen this is offbase. >> there is a phenomenon of group thinking. once you get yourself convinced that the story is real, all the evidence that might disconfirm your belief is ignored. >> and i'm saying there are more reur soses that cbs could have brought to bear. >> a fox news producer said on the air that he spoke to davies several times, but stopped talking to the guy when he asked for money. fox says it stands by its b benghazi story. and it is an important story. it was "60 minutes," too, the spin-off broadcast that had the dan rather memo base, the national guard story that essentially resulted in him being ousted. is this in the same class? >> steve glober was quoted by "the washington post" saying this is not as big of a deal. what made the dan rather story so powerful almost ten years ago

now was it was rather clearly obsessed for destroying the bush family. cbs took a little while to admit the mistake or within a week or three or four days, they had flat out owned it. so i think it will be a blip, not a shipwreck. >> and fager did say, quote, you have to say you were wrong and in this case we were wrong. and i think that kind of apology gives you a lot of credibility. >> especially in the case unlike dan rather who was later forced to apologize and later said he believed in the truth of the story. now to a story that made a lot of on news this week. president obama under a lot of pressure and the health care rollout, his famous words, if you like your plan you can keep it, sat down with chuck todd. >> do you feel like you owe these folks an apology for misleading them, even if you didn't do it. but at this point, they feel

mislead and you see the anger that's out there. >> i regret very much that what we intended to do, we weren't as clear as we needed to be. i am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me. >> the president went to a guy with an msnbc show. how did chuck todd do? >> chuck got him to elicit a semi apology. he asked him tough questions. >> what else did he ask him? >> he asked him about kathleen sebeli sebelius, whether or not she was on his team, he asked him about the website, when did you know it, which he bobbed and weaved around. >> and he mentioned clarence paige, who called the president a liar on this. >> and that's from his hometown ""chicago tribune." but my point is is that this is a 25-minute interview. we saw clips from this 25-minute interview. and those interviews, when they are not live, are doing very

differently than a live interview. you have much more time. i think they both looked more conversational than you would in a very confrontational interview. >> jim pinkerton, this semi apology, qualified apology, was big news everywhere, but not so much in the "new york times." >> the "new york times" had already tried to spin the thing for the president, he, quote, misspoke. >> in fairness, that was the editorial page. >> exactly. that's the flagship for liberalism. and four days before was -- do you have the headlines? >> no. >> millions eligible for free policies under care act. i thought the failure of the times to put that story on the page as most newspapers did was either a classical misjudgment or -- >> and then the times said -- >> would you agree? >> yeah, i would. and the back story was a couple days ago that sebelius is not equipped for this job, the president is really mad now six weeks into it. look, the gold standard for presidential apologies was still in 1961 john kennedy went on tv

and said i am the responsible of th author of this government, period. >> the apology was in force like, oh, i'm sorry you feel that way. it doesn't sound terribly sincere. but this president has been pummeled by two or three weeks thou. they see blood in the water and are going after him day after day. i think between that and between cbs having this story that turned out to be false going after the administration going after the administration on benghazi, i think we should all sit back and say, wait a minute, what is this about the mainstream media? >> i think you're one of those people who has been pummeling him. >> absolutely. this administration has screwed up. >> and is the pummeling deserved, people not really liking the president's policy because he never said yes, i

mislead the country, he talked about the impact of his words. it's about hundreds of thousands of people being -- having -- or actually 3.5 million to count being kicked off the insurance rolls by plans they thought they could keep. >> and i think a lot of journalists and thinkers on the left are feeling that they were lied to, that this administration knew that this was not going to be the case. maybe the press didn't investigate that at the time. but i think there's a lot of anger now. >> give them credit for resilience, though. michael says it's the insurance company's fault. october was a terrible month for the president. november will be now. >> i thought you were going to praise dana for her candor about the liberal media. when we come back, the media going georgeorgiga-ga over chri christie's words.

when chris christie won a land slide re-election this week, the pundits were immediately talking him up. >> i think chris christie is an ined cancerble candidate. >> the guy who rose above politics, the guy who was willing to work with president obama. >> there's a coronation going on today for chris christie. >> and today, the new jersey governor not exactly in hiding, hitting four sunday morning shows. >> are you a moderate or a conservative? >> david, listen, i don't get into these labels. that's the washington, d.c. game and what all those men and women down there play. >> governor, what do you think of ted cruz and rand paul?

>> what i'm not going to get into the washington, d.c. game that you're trying to get me into. >> i think we've established he's not going to play the washington, d.c. game. there's about 12 other references to that. is christie getting press in part because mainstream reporters like his views better was as opposed to ted cruz? >> i did win a big victory in a media intense state. but i think you're on to something, and that is the media, i predict, will love christie, find his interesting, and then at the moment where he actually gets -- if he gets the nomination against hillary clinton, they'll say, enough, we were happy to use him as a hammer on the conservatives, ted cruz and whoever, but now that it's christie versus hillary, you're going to go with hellry. >> so you're predicting a turn in the -- >> right. a couple years to go.

and he gives access. he goes on sunday shows. he held a press conference this week, went on for an hour, it could have gone on for four. that's so different than mitt romney who is like talking to the reporters is talking to the dentist. >> well, i'm not going to get into this washington game, but i will say -- >> you're off the show. >> people find christie refreshing because whether he is or not, he sounds like a truth teller. this is the build up phase for christie. there will be a knockdown phase. it's the same thing that happened with hillary clinton. puffed up and knocked down. the media build up chakt areas, marco rubio earlier, only build them up to knock them down. >> why are journalists swooning over this governor? >> because he's not sitting in a studio and says those scripted answers, although you did hear him say the same thing over and

over again. >> he was much more cautious. >> he was. he needed a cup of coffee. by tend of his fourth interview, he had more momentum. but here is guy who will say when he's on an interview, sit your rear-end down. you're going to get thrown in jail. he just talks like a tough guy and that is refreshing for journalists. >> how about this time cover? there's been a lot of talk about it holding up. the elephant in the room. >> ridiculous. >> ridiculous? >> >> you were offended by this? >> here is a guy you're setting up to be president of the united states and you make a fat joke about him on the cover of "time" magazine? it's just to create buzz, sell magazines. on the inside, he said and guess what? he's a workhouse with a temper and a tongue, a guy that loves his mother and gets it done. but it was a cheap shot. >> time is into selling magazines. and guess who else wasn't terribly ovened by it.

>> who cares? i mean, seriously, i'm on the cover of "time" magazine, you know? it is certainly not the first weight joke that has been thrown my way over the course of the last four years, chris. >> did you get that? who cares? >> i will say this. that "time" magazine cover reminds me of a recent "newsweek" which did ever more and more outrageous covers as it was circling the drain into oblivion. i think they were trying to be as provocative as pbl.that's a little bit irresponsible. >> will there be more and more stories if christie becomes more of a player about his weight and about his temperament? i think we all think it's charming now that he wags his finger. mccain went through this, too, will he say gee, does he have the temperament to sit in the oval office? >> and christie makes mccain

look like milk toast. i think there will be more questions about that and about his weight where people are saying, is this guy healthy enough to be in the oval office? health is an issue. >> but he's also getting thinner. >> he had the secret lap band surgery which turned out not to be so secret. >> all right. thanks very much for joining us on sunday. still ahead, my sit down with bob woodward. but up next, rand paul blames msnbc's rachel maddow as he responds to allegations of majormajo plagiarism. rheumatoid arthritis, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years.

lifting lines from a movie no one has heard of. >> in the not too distance future, engistics is common and that line appears almost verbatim in the wikipedia entry. >> paul dismissed that and a second allegation involving wikipedia as a technical matter, criticized maddow and he let loose on abc's "this week." >> do you concede at least this is pretty sloppy? >> the footnote police have been dogging me for the last week. i will admit that. and i will admit sometimes we haven't footnoted things properly. i take it as an insult and say people cannot call me dishonest, misleading or misrepresenting. i have never intentionally done so. if dueling were illegal, but i

live from america's headquarters, i'm jamie coffee. no deal yet after three days in iran and geneva. both sides say things are moving

forward. talks will continue on the 20th. meanwhile, the u.n.'s nuclear chief is headed to tehran. his team is trying to determine if iran is, in fact, secretly working on a nuclear weapon. the islamic regime has stopped all attempts at probes there for the past two years with arguments over what investigators could see or who could be talked to. that new probe comes an iran's new leadership promises more cooperation. i'm jamie colby. i'll see you back here in a half an hour with more from america's news headquarters. >> bob woodward has reported on every president since richard nixon. now the editor has been clashing with the obama white house. how does its handling of the media compare to previous administrations? i spoke to him earlier here in studio one. >> bob woodward, welcome. >> thank you. you concluded in your book "the price of politics" that

president obama had failed to lead. now we're hearing that he failed to lead on nsa foreign surveillance, didn't know the details, we're hearing that he failed to lead on the obama carolout, has it taken the media too long to reach this analysis? >> well, you've got to be empirical about it. and that's not to take the republicans off the hook for all the budget problems. but the president has to find a way to work his will. as you recount all of this, and as i do, you see that the president is the one who calls people to the white house. they don't call him to the congress. and -- >> but it's more -- >> he has the hammer. >> you as an author had to reach a conclusion. and some people criticize you for that. i understand even today some in the white house are not that happy with bob bood woodward's reporting. >> yeah. they said i started it.

>> started what? >> started this idea of he's got to lead. and he's too passive at times on these budget issues. >> is this white house telling you that's not accurate? are they angry? are they blaming you for this? >> as you know, no one likes to be criticized and called out. but they deal with reporters. i think the temperature is going up right now. there is more .more criticism on the president's comments on obama care, that, you know, if you like it, you'll keep it. and somebody has found 29 times that he said that and -- >> i've seen it at least 29 times on the air. but on that point, you were on meet the press with david, no longer works in the white house, and he wouldn't quite concede that that was a mistake, the president used the wrong language. it almost seems like the press is trying to pull out of this

administration. it's an admission that this was, at the very least, misleading and they don't want to go there. >> no, they don't. and on that show and it's been said a number of times, going back to 2009 when the president made a mistake on one of the cabinet nominations, he came out, went public and said i screwed up. end of quote. and i think they should do that. this obviously is a miscalculation or a screw-up and it's not correct and i think it's right for the media to kind of say, let's straighten this out. you know, millions of people are going to have to decide on their health care insurance and if the becomes a political football, oh, you can do this, no, you can't do that, it only adds to the confusion. and i think that's not in the interest of the president. i think it's possible they can

if it fix this and work it out. >> i would say the tone of the coverage has turned much more aggressive. you see it in the jay carney briefings, in the coverage of the obama carolout. but a lot of people think too passive until now. >> i've never been too passive in writing about the president. >> no one is saying you. >> but i think it is true. look, the message, managers in the white house have great sway with reporters. as you know, the people who run the daily beat have to write three or four stories or broadcasts all day .they need somebody they can talk to in the white house. and if the white house doesn't like what they're doing, the phone calls aren't returned and somebody can't really do their job in a way that they need to. >> is this white house more intimidating or as intimidating as some of the past administrations that have played hard ball with the press? >> no. look, they all play hardball that's their job.

but we are in this situation now where with the cable news coverage and the internet and the impatience and speed driving everything, give it to me now, give me the sound bites that, you know, you've got to live in that world. i don't, quite frankly, and try to spend a year or more on something and get the detail and the notes and the memos that really explain what they're saying to each other in the process. and i think when you examine that, it makes your head hurt, that this isn't a government that's working. >> you touched on something important about journalism, which is that journalism is increasingly moving online, what works online are blog posts and lists and tweets, reading along investigative report on the internet can be a slog. so does that make it harder? you have in a position where you can write books and take your time. does that make it harder to do this in-depth work in this era

of, as you say, give it to me now? >> yeah, it does. and you can work for months on things or even a year and it goes up in the ether. and you may get more attention by something you say on television or something you say on the tweet. so it's a different world, but we're going to keep doing the in-depth work and, you know, the president is going to get a fair shake. i mean, i think on the last round of budget talks, the republicans and the shutdown, the republicans really did try to blackmail and as they had earlier. you can't have a where somebody says, you know, i'm going to extract things from you as speaker boehner did, that i would not normally get by holding the debt ceiling hostage. >> some of the president's detractors compare every scandal to watergate, with which you are

familiar with. irs was worth that watergate. it was said yesterday obama care is worse than watergate. wa do you make of those comparisons? >> it's like all these people walking around washington who are going to be president and never exactly made it. you can't predict and it depends on the information. >> even watergate wasn't watergate originally. it took many months for the magnitude of the crimes to be revealed. in other words, it wasn't like it exploded on day one. >> it took two years, two months before nixon resigned. so, you know, little patience. but i think we need to be in a really aggressive mode and look at these things. take obama care now. yeah, you need to look at the government, but you know what the big issue is? the insurance companies. what's going on? how are they looking at this? i tell you, they know how to measure profits and they're --

that's the lens through which they're seeing this. so we better look at the insurance companies as hard as we've looked at the white house. >> what about syria? there was a time when that dominated the news and the president looked like he was going war and then he went the diplomatic route. and we've kind of moved on. did the media suffer from add? >> yeah, of course we do. and -- but you have to deal with what's porcht now and what happened in syria. put it on hold. there are negotiations going on trying to -- in actual apparently i emphasize apparently destruction of chemical weapons and we went from we're going to have a tax to we're going to go to congress to now it's in the hands of vladimir putin. >> you've been spending more time lately at the washington post, i am told, and you've been

there as long as i've known you and we once worked at the same paper. that is in part because of the new owner, jeff pezos. what is your relationship with him? do you think he has not just the bank book, but the web smarts to revitalize the franchise? >> i've known him for years. i think cease serious, had discussions with him. he believes in an independent newspaper and i think it's great that the post picked him to sell to. i think it's truly sad that it has to happen, but you need somebody with that much money to rely on stockholders. i'm not -- you know, i have the little corner i see. i trust him.

i think people at "the washington post" trust him to hold -- you know, it's a stewardship of -- a newspaper is not just, you know, some product that goes out there. >> it's a public trust. >> yes. it's more than that, actually. >> recently in spending more time at the newspaper, you are trying to do what? >> i'm trying to help with stories, work on stories, i've done some stories, working on things. again, we are in the world where i don't think we know enough about what is really going on in government. government is hidden in secretive. i think we should have that we're going to have secret government and i often quote the judge who said that democracies die in darkness. so let's hope we don't have darkness. let's hope we have a really tough press that goes in there and doesn't give up on all of these questions. >> and your grand salary at the newspaper is?

>> oh, $25 a month. but i make money from books and -- i think you should ask bezos for a raise. >> no. he told me that he thought it was worth every dollar. >> bob woodward, thanks very much for joining us. >> after the break, twitter goes public. is it really worth all those billions? and does it provide an accurate snapshot of public opinion? that's next in our digital download. suffering from the flu

twitter went public this week, a far more successful debut than the rollout for facebook. >> wall street now valuing twitter as more than $30 billion, this for a company that didn't exist eight years ago and is now worth more than time warner, yahoo! general dynamics or general mills. >> these ipos drive me crazy. if you're connected to the company or one of the big brokerages, you can get in early and make all this money and everybody else is out of luck by the time they get in. >> all this money, $60 million went to the underwriters. the founders, jack dorsey and ed williams are now billionaires and there are 1600 more mill heirs living in silicone valley. but those are deserved. those are the rank and file engineers who have been working there tails off or their wings off, i guess. >> but is this company -- i

mean, $30 billion, worth more than companies that actually make things? it seems to me like it's maybe -- and i love twitter, but maybe it's a little overvalued by the market? >> well, of course it's overvalued. but actually, if you look at the numbers, they could have made more and they chose not to. they sold 70 on million shares at $26 a share. they could have sold them at $41 a share. but they didn't want to be facebook. they didn't want to have the problems that facebook had. >> but even at this valuation, it seems to me like twitter has to make a lot of profits, it has to grow far more quickly than it has to now, and thaits that's going to be difficult. as much as journalists love it, a lot of on people are puzzled by it. what is it? it doesn't feel like something that's central to their lives. >> i was talking to someone in silicone valley and they said to me twitter has to go from being a product, something that you use, to a business. and the problem is that the business doesn't exist. they don't have enough revenue

streams at this point in their early development. they only have $500 million of profit. . >> i want to mention this new pugh study which found twitter is not a good poll of public opinion. that skews the value of figuring out what's trending there. >> right. and the value, it turns out, really isn't there when it comes to public opinion. ron paul -- this is what the pugh study says -- easily won the twitter primary. easily won it? he got clobbered. he said 55% of the conversation about him was positive, 16% was negative. sglafr the newtown tragedy, 64% of the conversation supported stricter gun controls and that was not reflected in the rest of the country. so we have to take it with a grain of salt. it's still a valuable portal into what people are saying. >> one in ten people in the united states get their news through twitter. it has to be more than that for this to continue to be a viable

company. but tech engineers right now in san francisco, if you want to start a company, ride the ipo twitter wave. it's a good time. people are going to invest. >> what's your sense of who is on twitter based on the what you're writing? >> i find a lot of politicians are on, a lot of journalists, a lot of pundits, a lot of people who hate other people. a lot of snark right now. but i would love for you to tell me, are you using twitter? how do you use twitter? do you find it a valuable tool? if you don't, twit er is going to have a very hard time moving forward. ahead on media buzz, a toronto newspaper paid for that chilling video the city's crack mayor ranting about killing someone. did that cross the line? she's always had a playful side. and you love her for it. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready.
