2:08 pm
>> you have a gal pal, tmz journalists interested. >> and high stakes, the loss of posting it. when arguably the housing a basketball team. discrimination which actually >> involving a guy who is very affected people who were trying to rent apartments owned by rich and part of the nba but in a situation like this the donald sterling had more impact than what he said in private? pundits file on and the bloggers >> well, i don't even think pile on and you have a tape with that's arguable. i think it is inarguable that the housing discrimination was a magic and shaquille and kareem. bigger deal. do you think the stars 2009 sterling wound up paying a announcing how clearly the bigger settlement on the basis of housing discrimination. league was tarnished, ratcheted nobody seemed to care about that either. that tmz tape is a tape. up the pressure on the that's something that people can commissiontory ban him for life? see. something they can hear, point to. it's fairly concrete. it doesn't get into anything >> certainly. the clippers themselves going out on to the court and turning technical. it screams out to loud, their shirts inside out, how do inappropriate racism which is they keep working for a man with probably the biggest sin you could commit in this society these odious views but this was when it comes to being racist, at least in terms of public perception. since we had that and it screamed at people, i think that well established of these views and having been sued under the bush administration, the hit a lot more than things department of justice. where was the "los angeles economically minded. times" reporting this? this was sexier and flashier. you could say, well, dude, that if we're going to be honest, this is crazy.
2:09 pm
was eight years ago. if you're look a story to blow >> some of it was reported but up, something a little crazy will do it. there was no concerted effort by that tape is crazy. >> excuse me, you can sleep with the media to call this guy out black people but don't post because the lawsuits are pictures on your instagram considered bore, but we have a account. that fits my clinical woman and we don't know her description of crazy. do you think in the national first name. media, and in the nba, and the >> this had every ingredient to l.a. chapter of the naacp to which sterling gave a lot of be a perfect scandal. money which was going to give him another lifetime achievement there is could consensus. award, do you think they enabled this guy, enabled donald there is no one on the other sterling? >> i think everybody enabled side. everyone says something has to donald sterling. it's not as though donald be done. there was this huge push to sterling had a sterling figure out a way to make him record -- sterling, there we go. give up the l.a. clippers and i not like he had a sterling have never seen so much record outside of this terrible thing. agreement around something like he was pretty much terrible in this. >> one reason for that is we have just come off of the bundy every single way. you could point to nba and the transaction of chris paul and chauncey billups. i think more important than scandal viewing racist comments. talking about that specific to sterling is the larger issue and >> the guy no one heard of. bigger discussion when it comes >> no one heard of him and he to the things we talk about when
2:10 pm
has no power so here comes matters race come up. donald sterling and he has all we get too caught up in things that allow you to point out of this power that can be taken whether or not one person is or away and in part, the media is not a racist as opposed to latched on to that as did looking at how these big things happen, how donald sterling was silver, the commissioner. part of something that's much bigger. >> let's look at the other side, you could make an argument, a lot of academics do, you could he trusted this woman, these were private conversations that walk everything back to housing remain posted on tmz. discrimination. that's so much more important is there any feeling that but it's not as interesting to people. >> exactly. >> i'm not sure how the media is someone shouldn't lose their business because of something supposed to balance that. they said in private opposed to they're in the business of selling these stories, what to discriminating in housing. read, there's a demand element >> thank you is no privacy. but there's a responsibility also. with 90 percent of people owning >> yes. cell phones they can be taping i guess the sexual aspect sells. thanks so much for joining us right now. today. >> thank you. ahead on "media buzz" john oliver, master interrogator? >> there was controversy over what should be the consequence first, it's four on one as i for donald sterling's remarks. talk about women, journalism and sex appeal as i talk with the should he have trusted her? what super poligrip does for me is it keeps the food out. this is viral voyeurism. before those little pieces whether his rights were violated would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. by the first amendment or by the

2:12 pm
property, they will buy it. they cannot confiscate his property. he signed a contract with the nan so he is subject to the rules of the nba and if enough of them say you have to sell, they will sell and buy it from him at its market value. though will not take away the value. >> irony is his punishment will be richer by hundreds of millions. >> and amazingly the l.a. clippers won the series and were focused. there were mistakes on the reporting with the finance reporting there there would be a $5 million fine that was $2.5 million but when there is a frenzy you miss the hoop when you shoot. >> send me a tweet about our show and we will head to break. the benghazi e-mails and why the media had to play catch up with fox. outnumbered by the ladies of fox's new program. to seal out mwhen you didn't dread when youbedtime becausenner with anticipaof heartburn.itation.

11 years ago i began looking into a "new york times" reporter named janen blair. what happened next is chronicled in a new limb "a fragile trust" that airs tomorrow on some pbs stations. even after all these years, jason blair can't answer the basic questions. >> why did you do? >> i don't have a good answer for the question. >> it began like most stories with a tip. >> blair had written a piece about a texas woman whose son was missing in iraq, much was lifted almost word for word from the "san antonio express news." i talked down the paper's editor. >> before i could hear from either of them, howard kurtz, the media critic of "the washington post" called me. >> faced with this information, i had to decide, was it a one-time bit of sloppiness by this reporter for "the new york times"? was there a larger pattern here? >> i found several more instances in which blair made stuff up. >> over the next several days i
2:27 pm
started examining just about everything that jason blair had written for "the new york times" and it very quickly became clear that this guy was a fabricator. there were real victims here, i'll never forget talking to a cleveland minister whose son had been killed in iraq. blair had written a moving piece about this, but he never talk todman, never had been to cleveland. the case raised so many questions about blair's drug abuse to whether he was overlooked. blair cashed in by writing a book which i finally got to interview him along with some others. >> some of the time it took for you to come up with these details, in that same amount of time you could have done the ground work. you're just a pathological liar. >> it would be nice to say to everyone in the news business learned from jayson blair's disgrace. over the years i've had to deal with other plagerists.

>> roggin said john kerry had a closed door meeting and he said that israel was in danger of becoming an apartheid state. he made comments about this. roggin gave the audio and interview to fox's james rosen. but what roggin didn't say but rosen learned he made the recording himself after sneaking into the off-the-record session. he said, "damn right i did." there's nothing unethical about walking into the meeting unnoticed. i don't have a reporter slipping into a meeting. as long as he doesn't misrepresent himself. the problem, roggin should have come clean right away in his stories about what he did. coming up, john oliver's new hbo show is all about comedy, at least until he sat down with the former head of the nsa.

victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away

if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. here are a few of your top tweets on the coverage of benghazi. keith in tampa says if fox news was not covering this atrocity, no one would know about it. definitely not enough coverage but bill kennedy like cnn, the missing plane and nbc with
