"sunday house call." >> thank you for muching and enjoy your sunday. >> on the buzz beader, as president obama expands the war on isis to syria, the media debate towns more serious and the criticism more muted boat on the left and right. >> the strike, i agree, was politically valuable and important and for the reasons we said. militarily i is a light show. >> what do you decide chris? are the war pundits backing the commander in chief on the war on terror? will journalists ask tough questions if the administration's military strategy can succeed. the white house insists on

editing some pool reports that corporates distribute to each other after political events s that over the line? >> lois learner is breaking her silence but still refuses to answer questions. is in revealing or does it create sympathy for a woman who took the fifth. >> we learned some of the individuals who participated in the redskins piece does not enjoy the experience. >> we will tell you why they put conscience over comedy. i am howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." >> the pundits have been hammering president obama on foreign policy for years but since the bombs started dropping in syria this is a change, even among conservatives.

>> last night on my orders, america's armed forces began strikes against isil targets. >> republicans and democrats need to come together and support our commander in chief. >> it is the toughest language you have heard from president obama on radical islam. i was very happy to see it. >> many of those criticizing the president like dana perino supports the moves. >> in the meantime, 200,000 -- i am for the strikes. bomb the heck out of them. >> the antiare war skeptics at msnbc held their tongs or focused on other issues. >> you can make the case that the legal autrity to attack isis under this law is shaky at best. >> we have editor of "national review," and joe tripty,

democratic strategist, both fox contributors and editor and chief of "rollcall." >> are most muting the criticism because they like what he did? >> yes. this is a bipartisan policy. the debate will have a different tone and character than more partisan i'd logical policies -- ideological policies. >> is there some meaty criticism? >> there is legitimate criticism. the media has continue a very good job of airing this. how complex iraq and syria are, on the ground, and how unlikely an air only is to succeed. >> you think he has done a good job. >> it mains me to say that. >> on your side, the antiwar people and the folks at msnbc are barely criticizing the president for lunching the airstrikes. given what they did under george

w. bush how is that not hypocrisy? >> i don't think that is true. the initial response always, for everyone to pull around the president. that is the way it is when military action like this is in the brain. that is what happened. how long this will last is a different story. the press -- there have not been that map adults in washington. base through there have been a lot of playing politics. can you mutt do that when troops are at risk. you are seeing the media covering what is happening. it is not politic to take a stand. even in the tough senate races you do not see either side hammering the president or strongly supporting him because they don't want that to happen. >> i will come back to that. is president obama who has been

hammered for so long for leading from behind being treated like a war president? >> in some ways. but what will happen with the liberal media? you talk to the liberal voters and a lot of democrats who were sort of frustrated with the president they are now unhappy he is sounding like judge w. bush so msnbc that has that large an audience feeling that way will they go after him using terms like "evil," and wanting to destroy them. >> why do we not hear that? is there an instinct among the liberal commentators to support the democratic president? >> it is early. we are in the middle of midterm elections, 37 days away from this and partisan networks have a little bit of an interest there and there is an interest what voters are saying on the ground. if you see the visuals of people going after obama 9 media will

shift. >> but it is partisan hypocrisy. the antiwar movement was an antibush movement so you remove bush and the negative goes out of it. something that the media should focus on is the statement that the president has made repeatedly thatback wrack is decimated, on the verge of defeat and on the run and now country after country, al-qaeda is rising. this should be treated like president bush's mission accomplished statement and we should be reminded of this. >> the media should go after the costs, you just passed an emergency supplemental for funding and they have to continue spending. we are operating under sequestration with the defense cuts. >> the biggest reason this is muted criticism is it is work working. look, the first screaming was about the people on the

mountain. they are fine. they are not up there anymore. then it was the president is weak and he is not standing and urbil will fall. well, urbil is standing. and then he will net get arabs against the extremists. he did. it is the coverage that, and the response, if you are in the political environment in washington, dc, it is to back up. that is creating --. >> joey you got him off one dam but they hole the same story. "new york times" talk how bombing iraq, now, for weeks and weeks and weeks has not moved them at all because it is difficult and perhaps impossible to get an insurgent group out of cities. >> and the efficacy of the policies why the coverage is the way it is, people got way out there. >> it is,ç it is working they y

but clearly sit not. >> not so good was "new york times" compared the two military conflicts and the approach of president obama is similar to that of president bush but unlike president bush, president obama has sought to surround the united states with partners. there are allies but there were under bush. >> and there were more the first time around. that coalition of thing, again, was treated as a term of abuse and now, president obama has a smaller alliance and getting credit for being a great diplomatic genius. >> and the next coverage is what congress decides do do if they come back to vote on authorization. some democrats have pushed that and that coverage, you are watching that in britain. >> what about, suddenly, the media covering, all of us,

frankly, discovering this outfit called khorasan that is plotting, there was a military strike against the khorasan, or the khorasan on europe or the united states. we have never heard of them. >> the media is not doing the best job about educateing. we see the terrible videos of people being executed and the president speaking and there is not like there is a lot of education. >> the need what is stuck on the big hot item. after beheading floodage became able the media was in hyper drive on just focusing on isil and there are other groups out there that the administration has been saying are more

imminent threat to the united states. >> this reminded me of the debates during the we bushier with conflicting reports from the administration and whether an attack was imminent or just a more advanced phase. >> it is very hard for the media from outside to determine what the legitimacy of the we -- of the threats are. the khorasan group, a reason we didn't hear is, it is dubious existence, a faction in al-qaeda and syria. and the administration made a big deal because they do not want to admit al-qaeda in syria which is a huge problem when we have been saying they are decimated and defeated. >> a couple of jokes were told on the five and we learned after

the initial wave of airstrikes against isis in syria that one of the pilots from the united arab emirates was a woman. >> the first female pilot, piloting for the u.a.e. leading the strikes dropped the bomb on isis on monday. this is incredible. >> is that cared boobs on the ground? he apologized the in day and open friday, he gave a more lengthy expression of regret. >> perform news received letters from viewing including from women in the military and i have taken them to heart. therefore, let me speak clearly and sincerely i am sorry what i said. i believe she is a hero, courageous and brave and citizens our prayer not inappropriate jokes. >> well...i'm a girl so i get the question. it is a stupid joke and it would be stupid whether it was on

television or around the dinner table. you do not talk about anyone and gender in that way especially in a time of work. >> it resonated because this woman as he say, is a hero and she is risking her life and the gender temple came up. do not forget as we do every sunday morning, we will read some of your messages. ahead, allegations of plagiarism and the white house tries to tamper with full reports written by the press corps s that kosher?

the obama white house has insisted on editing these reports when a white house intern fainted and said that should be deleted because it would mere the woman. when the president talked about press freedom and contrast that with limited photos on the trip, the reference was removed. christina, how serious are these instances with the white house fiddling with the reports? >> i've written these reports before. they requested changes be made. they weren't changing them themselves. i covered an event once for the first lady. i wrote in my report they hadn't been checking bags. they viewed that as a security issue. they let it stand, but they were angry with me aefrts. what is weird about this is the

actual process. >> it's a disbeautiful channel. >> also how they don't do it in foreign media. they send it to one another. when you have that possible filter when they're reviewing things, it opens up a lot of trouble. and the white house is very, very image conscious. >> the white house says there were only a handful of incidents, like with michelle r thought that should be off the report. are there any of these instances that trouble you? >> the white house is always going to try and influence what's getting out. it's going to try to get its way. i think it's wrong that they have that ability, but i think the way to solve it is to remove them from the hub, the white house correspondents should be able to get the full report distributed to everybody without going through the white house. >> does this indicate a mind-set of trying to pressure reporters to delete things seen as negative? >> yeah, i think so.

we know michelle obama works out. we've seen her arms, right? but it's the bathroom of the things and it's the way it is set up creates the opportunity for the white house to exercise prior restraint and to litigate these matters. the reporters, it's not hard to create an e-mail list where you blast this out yourself and cut the white house out of the process. >> and to be bullies. there is an element of pressure. every white house has done it, but the obama administration has done it. >> let's talk about one of the biggest issues of the week. that is barack obama doing what was called the coffee cup salute which was an awkward mistake. but did it deserve as much coverage as it got on cable news? >> no. look, every one of these guys gets off the copper when a dog or a cup in their hand once in their presidency. and they walk out and all of a sudden there's marines saluting them.

i should have left that cup or the dog back there. it doesn't work that way. >> i looked bad b but did it indicate disrespect to the military? >> it was a pretty crummy salute, i have to say. but this is a story made for the new media. it involved a very short video clp. it's kind of funny and at the end of the day, it's not that important. >> and it's all about, oh, and the liberals want to show that with barney. i've seen a lot of every day people not involved in politics posting this photo saying, look at how disrespectful this is at a time of war. it goes to why they're image conscious for that very rope. >> and the white house itself posted the footage of instagram. the dumb sweet of the week, the "new york times" before the official announcement eric holder was stepping down at ag, an obama resignation press conference. and the new york post has a cover about chelsea clinton's

baby with a headline that bothered me. another liberal cry baby for democratic clintons. then it says party pooper. i get that it's supposed to be funny, but don't you get a one-daybreak when your daughter has a baby? it seems tasteless. rich lowery and i did some video debate. check that out online tomorrow. ahead, why was bill simmons suspended for calling the nfl commissioner a liar? but up next, should politico have given lois lerner a platform when she's still refusing to talk about her role in the irs depackel? check out all these airline seats. lots of them, right? but when you try to get one by using your travel rewards card miles... those seats mysteriously vanish. why? all the flights you want are blacked out. or they hit you up for some outrageous number of miles.

[ male announcer ] ship a pak via fedex express saver® for as low as $7.50. it was a -- for politico to land a two-hour interview with

lois lerner. lerner hasn't, of course, said anything since pleading the fifth. >> i respectfully exercise my fifth amendment right and decline to answer that question. . >> as part of the arrangement with politico, lerner wouldn't answer questions about the substance roovt scandal. the piece began with a strikingly simplic tone. quote, employers won't hire her. she's be be rated with epithets, agencies have guarded her house because of death threats. joining us no, former bush administration spokesman leslie marshall and fox news contributor. rick, this was a big exclusive. i don't think many news organizations would have turned it down. but should politico have agreed to the terms knowing lois lerner was not going to answer any questions about the irs scandal? >> well, i think they should agree to the interview, but they don't necessarily have to publish it. if you send in a really good reporter, maybe you can get

something out of the individual, and i think that should happen all the time. but what politico did here and what rachel bey did was conduct an interview and publish an interview that should have never been put forward because it just wasn't news worthy. it was kind of like interviewing monica lewinski and not asking about her affair with the president. lois lerner had three lawyers in the room with her. and the most we got out was basically that she rescued stray dogs. it was a terrible interview. >> well, leslileslie, but was is worthy that we found out, even from her self-interested point of view what her life has been like, the fact that she and her husband spent over $100,000 in legal fees, despite her gaping role at the center of the role? >> we all know in the media that if you interview somebody with a big name or certainly when their

attorneys are flanking their side, there is an arrangement that is made, which is you will knot ask this. if you plead the fifth in d.c. before members of congress, you're not going to have the big reveal with politico or anybody else. there are things that i didn't know about her. not that we're saying, oh, this is a kinder, gentler softer, but i think for many people that may not have been aware why she did what she said she did, why they r she maintains that and quite frankly, other facts into lois lerner. it's also a name that would get people to read this. i think they did the right thing in doing that. you get a big name like that, you do what you can. you know you're not going to be able to go certain places. >> rick. >> look, i don't think we found out anything, leslie. what did she find out other than she is broke and she rescues stray dogs. the heart of why she took the

fifth is not answered here. if there was some sort of interesting news, then i would say go ahead and publish it. but this was so sympathetic to a woman who took the fifth. and in washington, here is the problem for me. it's washington, d.c. media thinking that taking the fifth about going after republicans with the irs is just kind of, you know, not really something that you should investigate. you look at "the washington post" and others, they've known that this was a targeted going after conservatives and yet the investigation par has completely been a nonstory. >> in fairness, sorry to interrupt leslie, we're a little short on tooem time, what her colleagues thought of her, she could be difficult to deal with and laid out what her defense might be. i want to move now to a website called our bad media, which has posted many allegations of plagiarism and barred language against cnn host from areed

zakaria. given his high profile, why do you think this story has gotten such little coverage? >> isis would be one reasoi also think quite frankly, although sadly, americans are a bit desensitized by this. i think we hear about plagiarism all the time. this is the second allegation i found more troubling than others about fareed. quite frankly, it's not bleeding, so it's not leading. >> rick. >> i don't think so. i think this is all about fareed. he's like the rock star of the d.c. media. people love him. they think he's an intellect. if it was any other person, then they would absolutely go after this story. but because eat at cnn and

because he's invited to all the right parties, it's just hands off. it's clear -- this is the way the d.c. media works. >> well, actually, he's in new york, but i guess you could say the d.c. ala carte of d.c. media. i want to mention that jeff zucker says he has complete confidence in zakaria. a source close to the cnn program tells me that of the questionable scripts from the cnn program, not his outside writing, that these were written by producers and later approved by faree ed zakaria. he did apologize a couple of years ago for which a piece that was similar to others in the new yorker. coming up, fred francis on whether the media are swallowing propaganda by running that is shock and awe footage of the air raid against isis.

pentagon. i have been involved in military engagement that rush to get reporters to the scene to the airbase or missile launching cruiser. i was on the cruiser that launched the first cruiser into kosovo. you need to be there to talk to the sailors and the airmen and the soldiers. >> it is understandable why there are no independent journalists in syria because of beheadings. it is extremely dangerous. a follow-up, does it look like there are massive bombing raids? it is ahat was unleashed at the height of the iraq war? >> we will not know, unless you are in the criminal room, unless you are on the base, unless you can talk to the pilots and find out, why can't they do that? they can't do that because the white house is controlling the message. >> on that point, and i know you have been reporting this, what

do you make of the conflicting messages about the strategy of the war coming from the pentagon and you used to covert river and the white house. >> there is no question after talking to four reporters the last 48 hours you have come bind 95 years of experience covering d.o.d. and the white house has an iron grip on what the pentagon is saying and a grip on what reporters are reporting, what access they have. i am not saying they are lying at all. we tell our clients to tell the truth. all the time. >> but you troubled by it. >> because they are not telling the whole truth. example, pentagon says, we are not targeting isis leadership. the c.i.a. is targeting sis leadership with drones. they are saying, we are not targeting with our aircraft. why can't the american people know that?

isis knows that. why can't the american people know that? >> you are suggesting that the people who are running this war, they are under civilian control and president obama is the command in chief but the pentagon is not at liberty to say what they think? >> exactly. >> there have been electrics. >> the fact is there have not been many leaks because after 14 years of war the pentagon has figured how to tighten up the leaks even the finest reporters have fewer and fewer people that see the communications between the commanders. very tight. >> to the state department there have been leaks is it out of frustrates the white house controlling the message? >> exactly. military officers say everyone knows you cannot win this war against isis with just air power. they are frustrated they are being forced to talk the talk. >> back to the coverage, the other day msnbc ripped cnn for

war hysteria having to do with a beginner "new homeland security alert." a couple of days later i saw a headline "united states on alert." that is the not the same as color-coated updating of the terror threats. has there been too much hysteria? or drama? >> yes. there has been. this is what happens when there is a dearth of news and reporters do not have free access and are able to report to the american people. specific place plames. then it dies. >> you would like journalists, experienced military journalists to be on some of the war ships and talk to the pilots. do you have any expectation that will happen? >> no. not at all. the white house loses its iron fist control on the emergency and that is the emergency?

some pundits have ripped that ad or weird or offensive. do they have a point? >> i think it is a little sexy to see a woman gushing about barack obama and talking about he's disappointed her. it's a strange way to introduce these issues to women voters. but it does show conservatives are going after those women. >> obviously these midterms some want them to be made about barack obama. >> this ads gets a lot of attention. that is what campaign ads have to do. you want to get on shows like this, talk about it. they get a lot of free media. i think it was an unusual ad, but it's like a columnist. you want to provoke some outrage. i think to lisa's point, they have to go after minorities and single women. republicans are hurting in those areas. >> it's not a news flash that the coverage of the air strikes against isis and syria dominated the news this week. which party does that help?

>> it's hard right now. i believe it's going to be a wash for the midterm elections for republicans and democrats. we do see quite a bit of a rally effect for president obama right now. his poll numbers have gone up a little bit. is that because of the heavy coverage? i mean, other than the -- >> i do think so. but i think it's a product of the washington consensus that's gotten behind president obama. you see house republicans in particular being quite a bit more friendly to him because of they ever their resolution to fight isis, as well. >> this is the first time in some years that president obama has gotten somewhat positive press con coverage on foreign policy? >> yes, i think so. he got some bad coverage in august because he had a bad august saying we don't have a strategy on isis. but the news was dominated on him this week. >> his speech i thought this week was much better than his address to the nation. but i do think this issue overall helps republicans. they like talking about this issue. democrats like talking about minimum wage and others issues. those have been crowded out. >> crowded out by the heavy

media spotlight? >> yes, exactly. >> so to the extent that it's been crowded out, what about, for instance, obamacare. >> we're going to see this midterm. i think it's likely to help republicans in some ways, but certainly it's not the issue right now we're looking at national security. >> so all of the traders and media geniuses who some months ago said this is going to be the top issue in the poll, were they steering people wrong? >> they were wrong, yes. they were wrong. they didn't realize how long the midterm cycle happens. we could see new issues come out prior to october. it's likely to be national security. you never know what's going to happen. >> and beyond obamacare, what about the economy? still the issue that voters say they care about. the president moved this week to restrict companies like burger king, which is a big call from avoiding taxes to moving other countries. i would say it got about two minutes of coverage.

>> that's right. as far as obamacare, if it's out of the flus, that's a good thing for democrats. republican governors, they're expanding medicaid. they're embracing obamacare. so that is a good thing for this white house. >> but how many coverage is that getting in the scheme of things? >> not much. overall, this white house, if we're not talking about obamacare, that's a good thing, i think, for democrats. >> but if we're not talking about the economy, if the media aren't focused on the economy, that is not such a good thing? >> yes. and the problem with the white house is the economy has gotten better. but the polls show that people don't think it's gotten better. that's a huge problem and a boom for republicans. >> who won the media week in terms of the coverage. >> i think it was democrats this week. president obama delivered several speeches at the u.n. that helped boost his party. eric holder's resignation means that the news is in their court this week. that's typically good for democrats. >> despite all the criticism on the right from holder's tenure? >> yes. because all of that is basically baked in at this point.
