tomorrow. thanks for watching tonight. i'm bowing in for bill ocho -- o'reilly. the spin stops here. we're looking out for you. welcome to a "kelly file" special report on politics and the press as we get closer to the midterms and watch a field take shape for 2016. one question is coming up more and more, how will the media weigh in? research studies from the 2008 and 2012 elections show president obama enjoyed significantly more positive coverage than john mccain and mitt romney. most of the press took a path on reporting the possible down side of obamacare, waking up to the issues only when millions of americans lost coverage, the website was failing and the

president's promise about keeping your plan was labeled lie of the year. more recently than media has been largely silent on the irs' targeting of conservative groups and auditing donors. after ignoring questions how administration handled the benghazi terror attacks, a few brave reporters started to finally ask questions. but only after an e-mail with held by the white house came to light proving the involvement in spinning a tall tale about the terror attack. now some are asking if the president is losing the press. really? tonight some of the smartest journalist, analyst and researchers take a look at some of these issues. who is being fair and who is not? which organizations can you trust? and how do you know when you're getting the whole story? tonight republicans are moving forward with a select committee.

its job is to investigate the benghazi terror attack that killed four americans. before it is officially even formed, democrats are attempting to diminish it referring to the committee as a kangaroo court. it's the latest in a series of attempts to down play benghazi by some democrats and often times by the media. the attack took place before a presidential election when president obama told the american people al qaeda was quote on the run. at first, administration said the attacks stemmed from protest. outside the benghazi compound over an anti muslim video. today we know that simply was not true. caught in a misrepresentation, the white house blamed the cia for bad intel. >> let's be clear, these protests were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region. the video that caused the unrest in cairo and the video and the unrest in cairo that helped that

parasip tated some unrest. they made clear the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of these two institutions were changing the word consulate to diplomatic facility because consulate was inaccurate. we provided assessments of what happened in benghazi based on information provided by the intelligence community. the only edits made here were stylistic. i would point you to the intelligence committee by the fact they made the drafts and they issued the points. secondly, i would say we have been clear about the specific edits that were made at the suggestion of the white house. >> fox news and a hand full of others continued pushing and ultimately it emerged that the white house had not been honest. it did substantially edit the benghazi talking points and this attack was not about a video or any protests. the cia copped to wrongly

blaming demonstrations but the question remained who decided to blame the video? earlier this month an answer finally came. a new e-mail surfaced under court order, a document the white house wanted to hide showing the adadministration to it up and avoid policy failures. this when the white house knew officials on the ground in benghazi said this was a preplanned terror attack. this was too much for the main stream media to ignore. >> it did not come from the cia. you sit there at the podium time of time she was referring to talking points created by the cia a. why were you holding back this information? why was this e-mail not released? this is directly relevant. why did you hold it back? >> does the white house have a firm understanding of what happened to those americans that night? >> the answer broadly -- >> 15 months ago.

>> well, no. >> a video, protest? >> you should ask the intelligence community. >> can you image anyone not being a partisan, not being a conspiracy theoriest somebody sued the state department or application is requested, this comes back because their request is about benghazi and then you say it has nothing to do with benghazi. can you imagine somebody being confused about that sequence of events. >> while those reporters pressed hard, some of the networks may have been less impressed. since the briefings, congress launched a committee, the first in seven years and the networks have all but ignored that story. joining me, host of fox news' media buzz and speech writer and krir st kirsten powers. welcome to you-all a.

h howy, let me start with you, has the press fall down in covering the benghazi story? >> benghazi was a tragedy but the investigation is old. it's complicated. the country has moved on. this is key that because fox treats it as a big story, it must be hype, it must be partisan. when you had this ben rhodes e-mail, when this comes out, you have outlets doing nothing but then that explosion in the briefing room we saw cbs major garrett and jonathan karl and others, that confrontational tone while not necessarily reflected on the air changed the game in making many in the media coming out two days later with a story that should have run the day before. i think it changed the idea that maybe the white house is not being fully forthcoming here. >> kirsten, one of the things that exchange showed us is the power of the media.

they have considerable power. when you see jonathan karl going after jay carney, it makes some other media pay attention because it's no longer just a fox story. it now becomes somehow a legitimate story about the white house misleading the american people. >> well, yeah, i think what you saw was reporters getting angry and realizing they had been played, right? they were sold on the story, which i think we should stop for a second, megyn, and think about the fact the white house is able to convince other reporters because fox is covering something that it's not news, something quite spectacular, something that's really hard to imagine how you couldn't be curious about it, right? we have an attack, four americans are dead. clearly, the white house has a story, a narrative that fits their campaign talking points and yet, they bought it. hook line the sinker, and now they are realizing that because of a foyer request, not because administration released

information, that they were lied to. >> yeah. >> and i think they are angry. >> the thing is, mark, you were in the bush administration. >> sure. >> if you had another press secretary, tony snow had been caught in as many misrepresentations as jay carney has been clearly caught in, clearly, that is a fact well assertion, can you imagine the main stream media's interest in such a story? >> they would be finished and roasting them for crying out loud. i mean, what is amazing is that this information came from a judicial watch, not a new york times -- >> freedom of information act request. >> freedom of information act request. it wasn't "the new york times" or nbc news. if we relied on the mainstream media, we wouldn't know about the ben rhodes e-mail. it's been 20 months since an american ambassador was killed and we do not know what barack obama was doing for eight hours

during attack. that's outrageous. can you imagine if the white house refused to account for bush's whereabouts on 9/11? during that eight-hour period. >> i think journalists expect press secretaries to spin, they are paid to do that. instead of saying we made a mistake and should release this e-mail, jay carney lost a certain degree of credibility in the briefing room and when the larger mainstream media because he came out with the explanation it wasn't released because even though it says benghazi and susan rice prep about the infamous press she released on sunday shows. journalists are angry. anger is an important emotion because when reporters feel mislead and played they have the confrontational tone. >> but it's very short-lived kirsten because it already came out in benghazi coverage that jay carney was blatantly

misleading when he said the white house and administration only changed one word in the initial talking points. we changed diplomatic facility to consulate because it was more accurate or vice versa. that's all we changed. >> right. >> and then it came out the talking points released and leaked by republicans and shows their hands all over, so already there was a misrepresentation. the press did react and silence and interest was yet again lost. >> right, well, megyn, you're being restrained. you keep calling it a misrepresentation. i would say it was a lot of lying, actually, what was going on. it wasn't just that people didn't know the answer and they were guessing at it, they knew what they were saying wasn't true and the reason we know this now, even without that e-mail, frankly, we know that they didn't know this because how many people have testified now whether it's from the cia or whether it's, you know, the general who was there as this

attack was happening who said nobody thought the video had anything to do with it. this is not what they were getting or from anybody who knew anything. remember brett bear interviewed toll me and spoke to him and when brett pressed him and said where did you get this video story? answer to that is there were guys in the newspaper quoted saying that's why they were there. that's not the intelligence community. >> now we know what they basically got together for a strategy session and decided yes, the video that sounds good. mark, the press core we saw a couple weeks ago, the press may be turning on president obama. do you buy that? >> i don't think so. it's about how this is part of an exercise that is scandalous as republicans are doing this.

>> mark, don't you think. >> don't you think republicans have done some partisanship to fuel that and to make it easy for the white house and allies in the press to say this is just trying -- >> howy, you ask the questions on your sunday show. i'm asking the ones on this show. go ahead, mark. [ laughter ] >> sure, there are republicans who have partisan comments on it but look, as carls said on your show last night, this is no advantage for them doing this. if anything, there is a lot of risk. going into this, they are trying to get down to the truth and the real scandal about the committee is the reason we need a select committee is because the media did not do its job. we have so many unanswered questions because reporters where they went over and over and hundreds of hours to get down to the bottom of this, they said, hillary clinton said what difference does it make? they said okay. >> now we'll go back to seeing whether the media will cover the select committee and how. panel, thank you-all.

sorry, howey. it was a good question. >> harry reid suggesting that the media is covering for republicans. really? we'll investigate. plus. >> no one feels it would be better to crack that glass ceiling than to have a woman as president and many believe that that should be you. >> hillary clinton in 2016, already some are suggesting the media is protecting her. ann coulter and alan colms are here on that. plus. we all know rice had to pull out of the commencement, but how would the media handle this if her politics were different. bernie goldberg on that and big news this week in the irs scandal. we'll see what kind of coverage that got and why. next. >> this same set of facts that bob and george described would have touched off, i think, in previous days, a media fire storm, what we had was kind of a

campfire in most of the media, which was douls -- doused before long and the story has been dormant. [ female announcer ] there's a gap out there. the story has been dormant. but if healthcare changes, if it becomes simpler... if frustration and paperwork decrease... if grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care.

there was a big series of new developments in the irs targeting scandal this week. top tax official lois lerner was held in contempt of congress and

new documents suggest the tax groups targeting extended to auditing gop donors. those stories are barely showing up on the networks. yesterday i spoke to brent who was president of the media research center and i asked him, how much coverage was devoted to the house voting to hold ms. learner in contempt of congress? >> well, this is serious, serious stuff and we know it's serious stuff and when this happened to ali north, it received 15 seconds of news coverage. >> wow, maybe they were covering more important things -- >> let me quantify that a little better. lois lerner has not received any coverage from nbc but on the today show they spent 14 minutes covering the acre acceptance of

tattoos. they had time to interview michael douglas about his wife. >> what is the state of their marriage? just kidding. they are ignoring the story. they don't want to do politics. are the networks doing something else on politics, or what is it? >> you look at it -- if you look at the 15 seconds they have given to lois lerner and compare it to tuesday and wednesday they spent on climate change, they spent 27 minutes and 37 seconds in two days. go back to april with chelsea clinton announcing her baby, 13 minutes. that's much, much more time than they have given to the irs all year. it goes on and on. the white house correspondence dinner that was 12 minutes and 40 seconds, i believe it was, but they get 15 seconds on lois lerner. this is a media that look, let me ask you this, megyn, what would you say if i told you that

the total number of stories by cbs in the past ten months with endless developments, two stories on the irs scandal. how many stories by nbc? not one. megyn, how can we conclude other than this is a coverup? >> it's amazing to see because when i say politics, i'm referring to inside the beltway stuff and so is the climate change report and so on. you see the nets picking and choosing, clearly it tells you something. nonetheless, brent, they would argue the irs scandal broke and when it did, they covered it and covered it hard and it's dwindled since then. >> yeah, but the problem with that is that it didn't dwindle. there is more and more and more developments and you're getting to the point where you've got contempt charges. same thing with benghazi. with benghazi, you have a special house committee that's going to get to the bottom of

this. this is huge. how could they spend 47 seconds on benghazi but over 12 minutes on that silly correspondence dinner. >> that's unbelievable. is that the nightly newscast as opposed to the morning shows? >> this is morning and evening. megyn, this is the kind of thing that if this were a republican, they would be breaking into programs. it would be live coverage four men died in mbenghazi. this is big, and they don't cover it. the irs scandal is big. democrats joined republicans. they understand this is bipartisan. still no coverage. >> wow, the numbers tell the story. brent, good to see you. >> thank you, megyn. coming up, an award winning journalist who covered some of the hottest conflict s around the world finds herself under attack. lara logan and what is behind the ugly new effort to get her

fired. plus. >> you won't call things the way they actually exist. >> harry reid accusing the media of covering for republicans. see what has him so fired up about politics and the press when our "kelly file" investigation comes back. kelly fil"kelly file",. even bullhorns. how much? [ male announcer ] staples. make more happen. how did i know? well, i didn't really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive...

but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% testosterone gel. the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions

and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low? turn it up! [ male announcer ] in a clinical study, over 80% of treated men had their t levels restored to normal. talk to your doctor about all your symptoms. get the blood tests. change your number. turn it up. androgel 1.62%.

well, we are tonight deba debating what is going on with the media and politics. senate majority leader harry reid thinks he knows and says it's very simple. he thinks the media is trying to find blame with both sides when really only one side is at fault. can you guess which one? >> one of the flaws press has in modern day journalism is everything you do.

you won't call things the way they actually exist. what has happened here is the republicans have stopped everything from happening. >> poor senator reid. dana lash and an add junk professor. you have to laugh. he clearly feels aggrieved by the media coverage, i guess, him and the democrats, dana, which a lot of people would be rolling their eyes in response to. >> yeah, i would have to agree with him. the coverage is completely unfair. i think i'm a little different in that it's unfair to one particular party over the other. i think democrats have been coasting with this. there have been a number of different studies that have come out about this. we can talk about how different reporters and different editors, where their partisanship lies. the bottom line is that it's kind of a joke. this can't seriously be taken serious with a remark like this. there is nothing to support that

anything has been made for fair for the republican party and media. >> mark, do you think it is a sustainable suggest that the media has a right-wing bias? >> i think the media has a bias toward giving this kind of he said, she said version, version of objectivity and when for example the only reason benghazi is coming up again in the news is because the republican house launched this special committee. >> but why did they do that? >> we already had four or five. they have done it because this e-mail that came out, as you pointed out from the white house, that somehow was a red flag for a certain republican, but we've already seen this investigated four times. we've had 13 committees and no evidence whatsoever there was any intention of wrongdoing. >> if the white house had just released that document, while those investigations were underway they would ask questions about it. they failed to do that.

>> the document was inconsistent. >> it was inconsistent. it was the first document of who pushed it video? dana, let me ask you back to senator reid. he seems to feel aggrieved, that things are very clear. a lot of the main stream media may feel that way because unlike what senator reid suggestions, they ignored stories they do not think are beneficial like benghazi and the irs. >> they don't just ignore them but go on a trash and smash campaign against a reporter that dares to discuss it. lara logan, i just read this piece going after lara logan, going after her with personal attacks, too if we talk about a war on women, look at cheryl atkinson and lara logan, two women at cbs who their president happens to be the brother of ben

rhodes and there is this campaign to discredit them. why? because i guess they didn't follow the talking points and ask too many questions. >> we'll talk about that. >> are you kidding? >> are you kidding? >> i want to and mark about this survey because this survey just came out, a thousand journalist surveyed, at indiana university and determined there is a 4-1 ratio, four times for likely to identify as a democrats than republicans. with that, do you think that bias is likely to seep into some coverage? >> megyn, i saw that survey from indiana. your producer shared it with me and 2/3rds had no affiliation whatsoever. >> 50% say they are independent 14% say other. >> is the press liberal? there are studies that show the owners, the media moguls are largely conservative, whether or not a journalist, political affiliation or owner affiliation

influences the coverage, which i don't think it does, is this thing that we always debate back and forth. i want to take issue with something about lara logan. she works for "60 minutes" this is one of the most reputable news agents, longest running in american history and guilty of, if nothing else, sloppy reporting. >> there is no question she screwed up. she screwed up. there is a a question about why there is a lengthy magazine article detailing her sexual affairs showing pictures of her in a bikini and so on and we'll take that up with bernie goldberg in a moment. panel, thank you so much. >> thank you. the president seen his credibility ratings take a real hit in the last year and still ahead tonight, we'll show you what happened when the press core was polled on one of the administration's favorite claims and how will the media handle hilary? will monica make the list of questions and what about

benghazi. an colter and al a alan colmes. >> is it because of guys on a walk that decided to kill americans, what difference at this point does it make? as you ? [ male announcer ] that's why there's ocuvite to help replenish key eye nutrients. ocuvite has a unique formula not found in your multivitamin to help protect your eye health. ocuvite. help protect your eye health.

ann coulter and alan colmes. welcome to you both. we have having a conversation, what happened to bill when he was president. fair game? >> it's all fair game. i think contra alan, manifestly, "vanity fair" has never run anything that would harm a democrat. the idea that they had to have walk talk kis. >> to get it out? >> absolutely. i speak at a lot of college campuses, these kids were either not born, fetuses or one-year-olds during that clinton thing. they don't know about it. get that out now. benghazi is obviously huge and i don't think republicans will be the ones bringing it up the most. i think it will be hilary's --

>> the rival. do you think the hmonica lewinsy thing and his women things whale he was president was relevant? >> no, it's good to hear that laugh again. >> "vanity fair" brought it up. >> graden carter got into a back room with bill clinton and hillary clinton and conspired -- >> you're saying they are bringing it up like republicans. it was "vanity fair". >> it was purposely done to help hillary clinton as if there was an effort between monica lewinsky. >> nobody is saying there had to be a meeting. "vanity fair" -- >> is it fair game or isn't it? many people said it's completely fair game because of the way she behaved towards the women rather than backing them or not trying to diminish them by going after them. >> it's not fair game. it has nothing to do with hillary clinton. it's anti woman to bring it up -- >> what?

>> about her, what she said about hilary. it is sexist, they wouldn't do this to a man. >> of course they would. bill clinton -- >> you know, this is the problem with -- >> bill clinton is a guy involved, not hillary clinton. >> there are independent allegations against her, kathleen willy said -- >> that was years ago. they litigated this already. >> but mitt roomneyromney's dog made front coverage. >> the friend of hers that came out from the clinton library that it's hilary spreading -- >> are you going to say she's dead because of the clintons, too? >> calling her -- i was going to say this is another problem with identity politics. you can't attack anything about obama including obamacare or you'll be called a racist. now you can't say anything about hilary who wants to run for president because she's a woman and it's sexist.

>> and you know what will be interesting back because in 0 '8 when she was running against barack obama, the media turned on her. she was very upset with her media coverage. now, with him not in the picture, are begoing to see an entirely different treatment? >> you know why that's key? in 2008 this didn't come up because they thought hilary wouldn't win. they are doing this to hurt her. >> who is they? >> the republicans keep bringing us up, keep talking about it on talk radio. >> how is it republicans? it's vanity fair. >> the vanity fair did it to help the clintons -- >> all right, let's talk about benghazi because that's a big potential issue for her and right now the main stream media is more interested, ann, but will they remain so? >> no, what i hear is either republicans are doing it for fundraising. of course the rnc is going to

brag about this. they are doing something like having a special committee to investigate. it's obviously very serious. four americans died. there were warnings in advance and gets blamed on an american making a dumb video. >> who is in jail. >> it's outrageous behavior. i think we would like to know more about it and very happy trey gouty is going to do it. >> you're not worried about being labeled a republican issue and trying to beat up on hillary clinton. it's all political? >> certainly that's what the nfm, the non-fox media is going to say. when the facts come out, the facts are the facts. >> seven republicans, five democrats, not even a fair and balanced committee. >> the house, that's how the democrats did it. when did the democrats split it 50/50. >> this has been investigated four or five times. you had joint chiefs of staff look at this. how many more investigations? >> just this one from the look of it. panel, thank you. coming up, when president obama took office he promised

well, they called her a bombshell, talked about her cleavage and spent an entear paragraph describing who she slept with. that's the warmup for the sexist hit job by "new york magazine" on lara logan. they said she might be too toxic to return to "60 minutes" after she made a mistake, and a big one on reporting on benghazi. why such an attack on a main stream reporter. bernie, why? >> well, first of all, let's stipulate what you just did. she made a mistake. they put a liar on the air who said he was at the scene of the attack of benghazi when he wasn't. it was an avoidable mistake, they have an fbi big wig and they could have asked him to call his big wig pals in washington and think didn't.

does it warrant the death penalty, her being fired? the answer is no, it doesn't. this woman has put her life on the line in iraq, afghanistan, equipme egy egypt. that caught to count for something. what this is about, to get to your question, it's a liberal conservative thing. she challenged in her report the party line on what happened in benghazi and that's when liberals put her in the cross hairs. now, you can be a reporter and speak to a liar who tells you lies month after month after month about what happened in benghazi and you'll never get in trouble if the layer's name is jay carney, but certain liars, certain lies are acceptable and certain liars are not acceptable. so this is, they have her in the cross hairs because they perceive her as conservative or not liberal enough. >> they take attitude about how she was defending a general and

gave her the benefit of the doubt. they do literally spend part of the piece talking about with whom she had sexual relations and a cheating incident, why do we need to know that? if they did that to a perceived liberal reporter, there would be outrage among many on the left. >> absolutely. first of all, people may want to read this article because it's filled with quotes from unnamed people. i mean, this one quote after another attacking her and there is no name attached to the quote. so that's one thing that should, that's not a good thing. the other thing is, we need to know who she was dating and who she was sleeping with? >> right. >> this is insane? >> right. >> if you want to attack her for getting it wrong, attack her for getting it wrong. jay carney got it wrong for months after months after months and reporters put that on the

air and that was acceptable. >> we'll be watching. >> their editors never went to them and said how do you listen to the non-sense and not investigate what really happened? >> we'll be watching new york magazine for allegations of sexism when somebody refers to let's say another reporters or political candidates looks or sexual history. bernie, let me ask you this because in the same way that if laura logan was making a mistake on climate control, one has to wonder if new york magazine would have been so tough on her. >> right. >> one would wonder if the main stream media would be outraged if we had a black secretary of state who was a woman that got yanked from her commencement and honorary degree at rutgers if she happened to be a democrat instead of republican in the bush administration. >> well, there would have been no demonstration at all. this is one more example and this involves unfortunately rutgers, my alma moder.

the real shame of this is there are 31,000 under graduates at rutgers and maybe 100, maybe fewer than 100 actively protested at the president's office and that coupled with the fact that liberal professors, excuse the -- disinvited hersef saying don't want to be a distraction. what they should have done is said to the professors, your complaint is duly noted but this is a university not kindergarten. sorry we hurt your feelings now get over it. they should have told the students if any of you disrupt the commencement in any way, i'll have the police arrest you right in front of mommy and

daddy and if i have the power to do it, i will with hold your diploma for as long as i can. he didn't do that. he said she should have spoken. he wrote a letter to the rutgers community talking about how in the university, you need to hear people you disagree with, but he didn't go far enough. >> bernie sacrificed his invitation to be the commencement speaker next year -- >> that's a good bet. >> good to see you. >> thanks. when president was candidate obama he made promises how open and transparent the white house would be but they are accusing his administration of crushing the press and those accusing him of that, "the new york times." what has happened?

when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

well, then candidate obama in 2008 promised his administration would be quote the most transparent in history. one white house correspondent responded with the word that sounded like bull spit. they called the obama administration the greatest enemy of press freedom in a generation. what happened? howey rejoins me now, he's host of "media buzz" that area on sunday and laura is a fox news contributor. what happened? >> the promises evaporated and suddenly photo journalist for example can't get into meetings, as you talked about many times and instead putting out government propaganda. >> on twitter, they will go around a the media. >> right.

which is totally different story than letting in an objective white house -- >> no news organization should run it but perspective here. every administration tries to cut off access. they have more high tech tools. >> it doesn't mean it's right. just because you can put something in social media. >> i look at the take aways, new york times executive editor said this is the most secretive white house, 42% of the correspondents agreed it's the most secretive ever, which white house do you consider more forthcoming bush or obama. incredible how they are dissatisfied. >> there is a good reason. all we have to do is walk down the hall and ask our fox correspondent because they tapped her, looked at e-mails and made him a co-conspirator and said he was a flight risk. >> falsely. >> right, that's what i'm

saying. it's not as if journalist are predisposed. >> this was an attempt to criminalize journalism and had a chilling effect on investigative reporters. >> is this a turning point? >> it was for liberals that love barack obama and the justice department has to declare war on us. respond to the claimdividual by jay carney there has never been more transparent information. major garrett i'll roll my eyes and bull you know what and on and on it goes. they clearly think the white house is not telling their stories on the irs, obamacare. >> it's true we in the media tend to focus on stories maybe like monica lewinsky and stories that maybe have more legs on

that maybe donald sterling but it is very difficult for the media to somehow spend an amazing amount of time on an issue that is important to the public. >> it's harder to figure out the irs controversy. >> more legs, that was a nice way of working in the sexual angle. when president obama took office, he gave interviews and rarely does he give interviews to hard news people. instead, he's on with ellen or picking brackets on espn or g more. >> so you think he thought it would be easier and he did face tougher questions. >> president barack obama got

lulled and especially in the second term when he hasn't accomplished much, he's finding out he lost that. >> they lost the love. panel, see you sunday at 11:00 a.m. set your dvrs, we'll be right back. choose from handmade sandwiches and flatbreads. paired with unlimited soup or salad. 70 lunch combinations starting at $6.99. at olive garden. what are you waiting for?

i lost my sight in afghanistan. and it doesn't hold me back. but my blindness can affect my sleep patterns. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. but i learned that my struggle was with non-24. non-24 is a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70% of people who are totally blind and can't perceive light. talk to your doctor about your symptoms, and learn about non-24 by calling 844-844-2424. that's 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. now i know that non-24 is real. and i'm not alone. it's time for a new day. again, that was a new york times reporter calling this the greatest enemy of press freedom in at least a generation. do you agree?
