different providers, satellite included. click on your channel finder. stay with fox news media buzz with howard kurtz is up next. have a wonderful rest of your sunday. thank you very much, everybody. on the buzz meter this sunday, as president obama defends air strikes against isis, an anti-war contingent is emerging into the media. worrying that the terrorist threat is being oversold. >> let me start tonight with what's on all of our minds right now, this wild, angry push for war, another one in the land of islam. here we go again, going in with all the field marshals of the op-ed pages pushing us on. >> others say obama's plan can't work with air travel alone. >> the president knows that, but he's afraid to tell the american people the truth. sooner or later, u.s. ground forces will have to engage isis.
8:01 am
>> are the a anti-war commentators acting out of ideology, or given our bloody history in iraq, are they sparking a healthy media debate? some pupdits on a crusade against the nfl in the wake of the ray rice fiasco. now the commissioner goodell telling the press he's sorry. >> what exactly does zero tolerance mean to the nfl? will the nfl in all its powers take the lead on the issue of domestic violence? >> if any of these victims had been someone you love, would you be satisfied with the way the league has handled this crisis? >> i'm not satisfied with the way we handled it from the get-go. i made a mistake. >> and are the media putting a whole/xqñ league on trial for t transgressions of a few? plus some loud lousy reviews for the new lineup at the view. >> let me ask you about, you know -- >> yeah, yeah.
8:02 am
you can say it without laughing. >> sarah palin. >> when did you want to just pop her? >> with cozy and former bush aide nicole wallace and the gang make this work? >> i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz. the media debate over isis took a new turn after joint chief chairman martin dempsey told the president if the president obama fails, he would remember troops against is is i s. oerts calling the whole thing overblown. >> the commander in chief is platantly jeopardizing this mission in its entirety. >> can i point out for a second how de-rick yuls the beltway present press is when they report on things like this? that is not a scandal.
8:03 am
no matter how many medals and stars and fancy hat and all the things that they have, they do not get to decide whether or how the united states conducts a war. >> and more voices in the media challenging the war strategy or flat out opposing it. >> let's just be totally clear. we are committing to a military conflict in iraq and syria. that may involve u.s. troops on the ground and already involves a few, just like you can't be half pregnant, there's no such thing as a little bit of war. >> joining you us now, james rowsen for fox news. mary catherine ham, a fox news contributor and mayor ra liason. james rowsen, what do you make of the volume of anti-war voices emerging in the media right now? >> the question, howie, properly raised here is whether the voices presently emitting anti-war sentiment in response to this military operation the president has announced red
8:04 am
light kind of voices from which almost any military operation we should expect to hear a hearty hue ya. we're talking about rachel m maddow who i think with her references to metals and stars and fancy hats, i think that was condecenting. chris matthews, if only for his adulation of john f. kennedy might be considered a tad more hawkish. but i also think that we ought to consider some of what we are seeing as anti-war sentiment right now in some cases may be an expression of displeasure with the disjointed way in which this administration has defined and addressed this threat. >> what strikes me, mary catherine, is the fact that many of these people are basically on the left and ordinarily would be supporters of barack obama. >> well, sure. i think they're maybe not in favor of jumping in in the middle east once again.
8:05 am
there is a war weariness in general of the american public. then i think it is a reflection of the fact that the press is reporting on contradictions because there are major contradictions in how the administration has rolled this out, how they explain it and where they draw lines. i think that is something we should be discussing. >> and many conservatives favor the direction in which president obama is moving. but they're piling on the criticism that it's still not enough. one republican in congress said we like the way the straight go is going. but the thing that is happening this week, one of the kind of threads was saying, ah-ha, you said there were not going to be boots on the ground, but there already are. dempsey said maybe they'll need more. we have a public opinion right
8:06 am
now that is more of this. >> they also flip in part because of the heavy media coverage of the isis threat, which some people think is overstated, some people think it's understated. ir do think the media is holding the white house to what it calls a high semantic standard. you say there's not going to be a combat mission. what does that mean? they're going to be armed, they're going to have boots on, they're going to be on the ground and they might be accompanying iraqi forces up to the front lines at some point. does that mean they're engaged in intat? at what point does it take too much? >> as our resident historian, how would you compare the committee ya opposition with this war with the outright skepticism that the press showing and the passivity the
8:07 am
pretty showed in the run up to the war? >> i think there's a lot of mythology during the bush cheney administration. one of those xhiths is the press was in questioning the white house and the war ames in iraq. i was in that briefing room, the james brady briefing room along saved david moran and the other white house correspondents at that time. the war aims, the occupation that was 2-2, i think if you go back and you look at those transcripts and briefings, you'll see a very engaged press. >> that must be true within the briefing room. there's a healthy story about how in "the washington post" a few voices skeptical of the strategy would be variable. maybe that should tell us that
8:08 am
this debate now is healthy. i think myth or not, there is some press to the press core. >> some say the press field didn't do its job. >> when a president, as commander in chief, we have this line where we leave politics at the water's edge, the press is more likely to be more dutiful in being stre strong about it and the american people are moving with him. in this case, i think you're not seeing that clarity in the strength of the message in the same way maybe you saw it with iraq. but i think a year ago in syria, it did feel like it was the press pushing for this action at that time, as well. >> this time around, it seems like the drum beat wag coming for the president and the diplomatic warrior. but in 2002, 2003, there was the sense that if you opposed a war, that you were almost
8:09 am
unpatriotic. >> yeah. i think that's changed. having americans be headed on camera is powerful and it changes things. i don't think the pb would be doing this without the support he's getting from the public. one year ago, he almost struck the assad campaign but he didn't because the republicans were against it and he would have lost a vote in congress. >> the strategy seems to be dictated by what the american people will allow and there's some merit to that. >> because it's hard to fight a war without american support. >> right. but there's this sense that there are more questions. >> i disagree with this. the president has been out there talking a lot about this. >> but i think the trat decide comes from public opinion. >> but the public wasn't clamoring for this. the public is merely supporting it.
8:10 am
>> some in the media have at least been pushing for it. let's come back to the question of semantics. you were somebody who pressed the question why aren't you using the word war? they weren't, but now they are. also on this question of ground troops, there seems to be confusion in the media or a debate in the media, are ground troops impossible, unlikely or inevitable? >> look at any organization where there's a pyramidal structure. >> so something like this? >> yes, like a triangle on its face and the president is that figure in this instance, in this administration. that lack ofco harns about this mission in the terminology, in the war ames itself, sometimes even down to the geography where it's carry out, that confusion emanates from the top. it is perratedrom this leader down to the constituents who do the talking. >> are the mission right to focus on this discussion about
8:11 am
not ruling out ground troops because there is a drum beef i've heard, why isn't he listening to the general? >> i think that is a question. there's also the question of i think people don't want to discount that there's anyone in danger. >> like this idea of this political line of no boots on the ground means there's no political -- on the ground, and we should not look at the issue of americans are going to be in danger. >> but is the press correct to say that somehow the president is not doing the right thing because not listening to his generals? even lincoln changed generals. >> again, there's some reaction to the bush years, i think, in what you're seeing about this coverage. but i think there's a genuine question about where this strategy has come from, where it was forms and was it formed because of public opinion or because of the generals. >> i think that's perfect because their assessment of isis
8:12 am
changed from the jp team to a group that was heavily armed, took tremendous territory and they have intense. >> is it inherently suspect to the media raiding all kinds of alarms that the president may differ from what his general is saying? >> i think it's fine to raise it, but it's important to put it in historical context because it hasn't always happened, throughout history that has been the case. there have b disheses between the president and his general. >> we have to go, but can you discuss that? >> she is right in that they have a right to differ. >> and let the record reflect that howard kurtz just likened george w. bush to abraham lincoln. >> send me a cheat about our show at this hour. ahead, are the media now trying to damage the national football league over domestic violence? but when we come back, an extremely harsh politico piece

scott walker has given women the back of his hands. what people are doing is they're grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back. >> debbie wasserman schultz later apologized for those comments about wisconsin's governor. she's the subject of a very tough piece in politico saying the democrats and republicans have lost confidence in her. when you have anecdotes like wasserman schultz insisting that her wardrobe be paid for, which
8:17 am
she denies -- >> i think this is partly triggered by that comment she made about scott walker which truly was, even with the low bar of political rhetoric was really, really nasty. and i think undermined what is supposed to be her strength, which is to appeal to women voters. it turns that into something that worked for scott walker. i think that's where some of this is coming from. it happened every couple of years, that people get upset with debbie wasserman-schultz. we're getting rid of a woman in the dnc doesn't help that narrative. did this have a whiff of the white house or her critics using politico? >> there are a lot of critics and they all willingly cooperated. i think it was nine pages long. it was a hit piece with lots of
8:18 am
sources from the cooperation that didn't like her. does anybody in the country care about whether the dnc chairman is on the outs? this is a true inside the beltway story. it's a spec tack to see her credit side like this over and over again in print. she probably is on the way out. but i don't think there would have been a time when we would have seen this kind of piece, this long, this lengthy. most of thely, people don't like her. >> i think the chooe and immediate effect of which is to make it such that the person being recorded on across all media outlets thereafter is described in battle. i thought it was a fair ooçspie. if you look at the number of quotes in the piece, they are evenly distribute d between on the record quotes and blind
8:19 am
anonymous quotes. the actually lead says dws is combined washington insiders have lost confidence in her at a time when they need her most, period. there is no sourcing there. it should say critics say and it's not until the third and fourth graphs that you have that. >> i also don't like the leading anecdote is the wardrobe one which i think draws this line to the sarah palin story, she denied it. >> debbie was interested in the piece, there were no disparaging remarks, but on the other hand, the president can get rid of his dnc chairman at any time.
8:20 am
>> one other item before we go to break, new york's wnbc reported the other day that a federal probe found no evidence so far that chris christie knew in advance about the -- at the george washington bridge. brian williams described the story this way. >> the headlines here, however, the federal charges are now ruled out for chris christie and the affair that came to be known as bridgegate. >> ouch. nbc nightly news had to run a correction because the federal investigation is still ongoing. as christie has vindicated, i wonder if the mainstream media will devote as much attention to that as the drum beat of allegations. coming up, is nicole wallace any match for rosie o'donnell? and up next, the nfl's domestic abuse scandals, are the media just going overboard? h. h. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews.

the media explosion over ray rice and that awful video has become something much, much bigger. it's not just a sharper focus on other abusive players or tough questions friday on roger goodell. it's more that others are almost launching a crusade against the national football league and its fans. >> moms out there with kids who are making decisions on what their kids are going to do on sunday afternoon is going to make a decision. it's not going to be to sit there and watch a lot of people that beat up and rape women and beat the hell out of their kids because they're amped up. >> what does it mean for female fans whose dollars are so coveted by the nfl, who make up an estimated 45% of the nfl's fan base? are fans and our families region with we as parents supposed to compartmentalize everything that's happening? are we supposed to simply violate a violent game on the
8:25 am
field from violent acts off the field as we all wait on answers to this central question? what sdktly does the nfl stand for? >> joining us now from new york, joe conference ya and maria huffrey. joe, how do you not see in this case at least that revulsion is not just genuine, but pretty deep seeded? >> all we heard this week and the previous week was about this being a tipping point for the nfl, that rogerer goodell cannot survive this, is that he needs to be terminated or step down. then i look at the sunday night telecast last week, nbc, the featured nfl game at a three-year high in terms of ratings. i see an nbz poll that says nine in ten americans will not watch one minute less of the envelope. wheel they may be shocked and dism dismayed, on sundays, they're
8:26 am
not tuning out, that's not affecting the business, therefore, the nfl goes on and goes upwards. >> i agree with you the nfl is a juggernaut and this is not taking down. you look at these recent instances involving some of these other players, jonathan dwyer, sidelined for head butting his wife and breaking her nose. greg hardy, the carolina panthers, he was going to play, he was convicted of choking and threaten ago girlfriend, the minnesota vikings, the child abuse case with adrian peterson, suddenly these players are being sidelined. commentators on cbs, nbc, espn, these in the works, they're talking about the violence of the game and the behavior of the sponsors. >> it's opened the flood gates to that discussion. personally, i think that's a good thing because i think for too long, the nfl has turned a blind eye to the criminal -- sometimes criminal off field behavior of its players. they've invested millions in these guys and they want them on the field.
8:27 am
>> but have the media also been guilty of, even at the national level, not being focused on people being convicted yet they're out on the field on that sunday? >> i think some of -- yes, in part. but i think the media has also -- some parts of the media have scrutinized the nfl. if you look at espn, they don't get credit for a lot of their investigations because they have a $15 billion deal with the nfl. but they're the ones who, on friday, released this smoking gun story about who knew what when about the ray rice video. so i think the reason this has spurred so much outrage is because, for years, the nfl has turned a blind eye to this behavior. now it's exploded in all of its graphic detail in that horrible video. >> and howie, let me just fill in people that haven't seen it. it was an extraordinary bit of story basically saying the team knew within hours that there was an elevatorer video from the
8:28 am
casino showing ray rice punching his wife. >> great work by espn, but they're also hypocritical. i wrote earlier this week about hope solo. she's the women's u.s. so many soccer goalie. she's won two gold medals, arguably the most popular female athlete in the country. on espn on thursday night, there's hope solo playing. why does that mean matter? she's up for two counts of domestic violence. she has a trial in november. she continues to play. i don't hear anna storm doing too much displays on hannah solo. but it's soccer and it's just as important and i think this has become too much of an this is an nfl problem as opposed to st this is an epidemic that happens across all sports and genders. >> i like football. i grew up playing football in the street. but i think it's been appalling what the national football league has done, not that we should hold the nfl to a higher
8:29 am
standard, but should hold it to some decent standard of whatever for behaviors on who do this kind of thing off the field. and i think this is no longer a news story. i think this has become a cultural moment. i think everyone in america is talking about this. your thoughts? >> exactly. and i think everybody realizes the nfl has been irresponsible in how they have dealt with all of this. they've allowed these guys to continue to rake in millions in endorsements by making sure that this stuff stays quiet. and tamping down any discussion about it. now, here we are, engaged in a national debate about domestic violence and child abuse. and nobody, i think, it's credulity to think the nfl couldn't have gotten its hands on this video if ray rice's own attorney had it hours after it happened and tmz got it with one phone call. >> i've never seen the kind of hammering that goodell took on that friday news conference that -- >> i have, howie. >> yeah? >> yeah, chris christie back in
8:30 am
january. >> but he didn't answer any questions. he didn't answer any questions. and i think that -- >> he deflected a lot. >> he deflected, he obfuscated. i think in the end that will spur more of these questions. >> right. i meant -- >> he created more questions than he answered. >> joe, you got half a minute. it seems like you're focusing on the excess of the media and we're always guilty of excesses than the belated effort to hold this league accountable. >> yes, you old them accountable. all i'm saying is that saturday night, yes, this is debate around dinner tables. but on sunday, i'm telling you, at 11:00 today, people are going to put all that aside because they want their football. the media is going to think we care about character when we come to this sport. we're selfish about it. we enter our office pools and forget about it from 1:00 today until 11:00 at night. that's just how it is.
8:31 am
i'm sorry. >> sounds like you have a fantasy lineup. coming up, the view is back with a new lineup that seems to be dominated by rosie o'donnell. and later, another female anchor speaking out about getting beat up by a boyfriend. when i had my first migraine, i was lucky. that sounds crazy, i know. but my mom got migraines, so she knew this would help. excedrin migraine starts to relieve my pain in 30 minutes. plus, sensitivity to light and sound, even nausea. excedrin migraine works.
8:34 am
live from america's news headquarters, i'm erin eric shawn. two security breaches at the white house in less than 24 hours. the secret service arresting a man who refused to leave after sdriefg up to the white house gate. this, of course, coming after that brazen breach on friday when a man jumped the fence, bolted across the front lawn and maid made it all the way to the front doors. the secret service is reviewing its security policies. in california, four out of those five inmates would escaped from the county jail, considered armed and dangerous, are now back behind bars.
8:35 am
they were caught within 24 hours of that jail break. the fifth inmate, a 29-year-old is still on the run. it is not yet clear how they managed to escape. now back to media buzz and howard kurtz. "the view" kicked off its new season today. does the cast work? >> so biden has an easier time with congress because i think joe biden genuinely likes people. and i think he and his wife -- >> are you implying that obama doesn't? >> yeah. >> he doesn't love people? >> yeah, that's -- i mean, i think he loves you people. >> marissa guthrie, what do you make of this new line up? >> well, i think rosy has been on her best behavior for her. it's only been a week. i think we'll see her become
8:36 am
more strident and i think nicole, although she's -- i think nicole is still getting used to this situation, she will become more assertive. and i'm sure we'll see some more fireworks, much more -- much hotter than what we just saw there. but i think everybody sort of needs to adjust and rosy will, you know, take the gloves off. rosie o'donnell, that is. look, howie, sequels hardly ever work. three examples where they are, godfather 2, empire strikes back and the dark knight. otherwise, thousands of other seek well sequels never work. rosie o'donnell is the face of this show. her being back there, i don't feel any chemistry. nicole wallace, upon watching this for a week, i think ann coulter would have been a much better bet. nicole is a sheep. they get slaughtered. that's what happened to her this
8:37 am
week. i don't feel it this time around. i didn't see any ratings released since that debut. just like meet the press that went to third place last week. i feel a feeling when we see those second and third day ratings, we're going to see it right back where they were before rosy and whoopi came back. >> is that strikes me as a harsh description as the very savvy and smart nicole wallace who worked on the bush campaign. >> she is. >> let me go to marie. but it's an unusual pick to take a political operative and put that person on daytime tv. >> it is. but i think that they needed somebody with some credibility. they needed someone who really could give it back. and i think nicole, you know, she's a strong woman. and she's very smart. she knows what she's talking about. she's not going to get caught saying something wrong or stupid. and so i think actually, you know, i mean, ann coulter -- i would have loved to see ann coulter and rosie o'donnell, personal personally. >> all right. gotta go. >> but i think nicole will eventually get used to it and
8:38 am
she'll -- >> okay. certainly the view needed a conservative. it didn't have one last season. >> yeah. >> thanks very much. clarification, earlier i talked about general eric shinseki being dismissed or forced out because of his criticism of the iraq war plan. i think felt he was pushed into early retirement. he did serve. ahead, sean hannahby says republicans are failing to push a positive agenda. does the press really care about issues? midterm media madness is straight ahead.
8:39 am
8:42 am
as rens keep hounding president obama over the isis terrorist, is that drowning out issues that might help the democrat? it is true, one fox news says the gop isn't running on a positive agenda. >> i'm mad at republicans. they should say elect us and we'll do these five things? >> how are they supposed to speak to the mainstream media? how -- >> that's an excuse. i'm not buying that. >> joining us now, bob kusack and susan. does it matter if the media are covering a positive republican agenda in these midterms? >> absolutely. everyone has said, rightfully so, that republicans need to
8:43 am
say, here is what we're going to do because the public really has no idea. congress has a low approval rating. certainly i think the point that was just being made is a good one. you don't see a lot of stories written about what the republican agea is going to be pup hear a lot about the negativity. but no one is talking about what their agenda is. i know from on capitol hill, press conference with reporters and i hear them talking about their agenda at the top of every press conference. but by the end of this press conference, the questions aren't about the agenda. the questions are about social security, fighting with the democrats, issues that are more interesting. >> so it sounds like they are talking about it a little bit. it gets through the media filter because it's so much more exciting to cover an attack by the president. >> the coverage is going to be about the president. this midterm is about the president. sometimes that's a good thing for the party and sometimes it's bad. >> even though this is a collection of local races, as we know? >> yes, that's true. but handy has a good point that they have to have a
8:44 am
one-tu and the media should hold them accountable. usually other parties in midterm elections have come up with a clear message. that's gotten a lot of coverage. maybe republicans are missing an opportunity to get that type of coverage because they don't have a clear message. >> the point i raised at the top about all the coverage deservedly so about isis and the military response, is that helping the republicans? >> well, the media coverage itself is -- i think, again, as you guys were talking about earlier in the show has been a little more negative for the democrats. because they are -- they put thsh big anti-war agenda. the media coverage fully helped their cause in 2006, 2008 with those big wave elections that brought into democrats with the house and the senate. now i think republicans have an opportunity through the media to put forward their message that, look, and i've heard them say this on thisser way out the door this week that this puts democrats in a tough spot. they campaigned against us and now they're voting in favor of it again. what are they going to tell their base? what is this going to say to their base who elected them to
8:45 am
keep them out of another war? >> there's a piece this week that says the cultural wars and the democrats have one. the dems using social media like same-sex marriage against the republicans. is that accurate? >> the mantra of bill clinton was it's the economy, stupid. the economy is not helping democrats around. democrats are saying, hey, we need to get our base out so that they have -- they throw these red meat issues out to their base and it gets them coverage. that provoked outrage. >> but what about issues like abortion and gun control which can cut both ways? gun control helps the republicans because they're more the party that doesn't want restrictions and president obama couldn't even get a vote on his effort after newtown. >> i think one of the key quotes in the story was from the southern baptist coalition represented, said that views are changing. and republicans are needing to go along with that. i think that is absolutely true.
8:46 am
i think you're seeing that first out on the campaign trail. look what happened earlier in these debates, you're seeing democrats steer away from talk about abortion, gay marriage, which clearly is becoming more acceptable. if you look at poll numbers, what's happening in the country, they know these are bad issues. for democrats to use it, really smart. i know from covering campaigns, talking to voters, women tell me, i'm on the fence, but i don't like republicanes and how they treat women. it really does work. >> we need to get to our scores. looking at the whole week in media coverage, would won the week? >> i think republicans won the week. why? because all the coverage was basically about the big votes on capitol hill and going after isis. who does that help? republicans. democrats did have some good news in certain senate races in kansas as well iowa. but republicans, because of isis, they won the week. >> i look at it in terms of the negative coverage. the coverage of the infighting at the top of the democratic national committee with debbie
8:47 am
wasserman-schultz. that was a lot of negative attention for democrats. shows they're having a problem at the helm. there was a biden gaffe. he does it all the time, takes up a lot of room in the media. >> president obama had a -- >> right. >> so you say republicans, as well? >> absolutely. interesting "new york times" story this morning saying democrats are trying to use a social security issue to their advantage. i haven't seen any media coverage of that because they're paying in their ads to do that. sthanks very much for joining us. after the break, meredith vieira with a very interesting story of being abused by her boyfriend. you've got to see this. >> and cnn on the coverage of the actress arrested for kissing her boyfriend. our video verdict is up next. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours.
