debate. that does it for us. >> thank you for watching us, we are each each sunday on the fox news channel. join us every sunday, please. >> we will have a conversation with bill o'reilly coming up on all things media and we are awaiting a centers for disease control news conference in atlanta, probably the latest about a second confirmed case of ebola virus, involving a caption health care worker. we have the isis terrorist making progress again, the secret service scandal taking a troubling turn every headline is negative for the white house. especially the intense and breathless coverage of ebola virus. in dallas there are new worries. >> ebola virus death in this country. >> with african countries in

chaos the united states is at the grant line in the end infight. >> if there were a doubt this is the world's problem, the doubts shut be put to rest. >> i am feeling a little sick myself. but it is not ebola virus. i'm just sick of a government that i am paying for telling me not to worry, and just trust them. >> this morning as i mentioned authorities confirming a second case involving a dallas health care worker who treated the first ebola virus victim. and now examining the coverage, we have former cbs news correspondent and author of "stonewall, my fight for truth against the forces of obstruction and intimidation and harassment in obama's washington." and amy holme and bill press of the "bill press show." has the coverage for ebola virus gotten overheated and is it fair to the press to blame the president? >> according to my sources and

experts, i think it is hard to overstate the concern that is out there, not talking about what is being said by public health officials publicly but what people are saying behind-the-scenes to me at least, the concern that is out there about the global condition and what could be ahead not united states. yes, there is a careful balance the press must strike --. >> go have to go to atlanta with the centers for disease control holding a news conference right now. >> health care worker today in texas has tested, preliminarily positive for infection with ebola virus. confirmtory testing is underway at centers for disease control to be completed later today. we don't know what occurred in the care of the index patient, the original patient in dallas. at some point there was a breach in protocol. that reach in protocol resulted

in this infection. the health care worker developed symptoms on friday. they were assessed last night. today is sunday. they were assessed on friday. they were tested yesterday. the laboratory response network laboratory in austin, texas, tested their result preliminarily positive. that result came in late last night about exactly 12 hours ago. i will outline the steps that we have been taking before, since, and in the future to address this. >> the individual was itself monitoring and immediately on developing symptoms as appropriate contacted the health care system and when she came in she was promptly isolateed.

the level of her symptoms and indications from the test itself suggest the level of virus she had was low. there are four things we are doing at this point: first, to make sure we do everything possible to care safely and effectively for this individual; 2, assessing her possible contacts from the moment she developed symptoms and the centers for disease control team lead for the dallas investigation has interviewed her. it appears there is only one contact who may have had contact with her while she may have been infectious. that individual is under active monitoring. third, we are evaluating other potential health care worker

exposures. if this individual was exposed, which they were, it is possible that other individuals were exposed. we know this individual did provide care to the index patient on multiple occasions and that care included extensive contact. fourth, we will undertake a complete investigation of how this may have occurred. that is so important so we can understand it better and intervene to prevent this from happening in the future. i want to go in more detail on what we are doing to promote safe and effective care and then on the investigation. we had begun to ramp up the education and training of the health care workers at the facility. the care of ebola virus can done

safely but it is hard to do it safely it requires meticulous and scrupulous attention to infection control and a single innocent slip can result in contamination. second, we are recommending to the facility that the number of worker whose care for anyone with suspected ebola virus be kept to an absolute minimum. third, we recommend the procedures that are undertaken to support the care of that individual be limited only to essential procedures. fourth, we are looking at personal protective equipment understanding that there is a balance and putting more on isn't always safer. it could make it harder to provide effective care. all aspects of personal protective equipment. fifth, we are recommending there be a full-time individual who is responsible only for the

oversight, supervision, and monitoring of the infected while any person suspected of ebola virus is being cared for. centers for disease control has sent additional staff to texas to assist with this response. we will continue to work closely with them. in the investigation itself, we look at three different phases: what happens before someone goes in to an area where someone with suspected or confirmed ebola virus is being cared for? what happens that space? what happens when they leave? the two areas we will look particularly closely is the performance of kidney dialysis and respiratory intubation. both of those procedures may spread contaminated materials. they are considered high risk rathers. they were undertaken on the

index patient as a desperate measure to try to save his life. in take off respiratory protected equipment we notify as a major potential area for risk. when you have gone in and soiled or contaminated gloves or masks, to remove those without any risk of any contaminateed material touching you and being then on your clothes or face or skin and leading to an infection, is critically important. it is not easy to do right. these are areas the investigation will look at. we don't know what it will find. we will do that over the coming days. before i turn it over to the doctor, commissioner of the department of state health services, i make two final points: first, unfortunately, it

is possible in the coming days we will see additional cases of ebola virus. this is because the health care workers who cared for this individual may have had a breach of the same nature of the individual who appears now to have preliminary positive test. that risk is in the 48 people who are being monitored, all of whom have been tested each day, and none of which have developed symptoms or fever; and in any other health care worker whose may have been exposed to this index picture while he was being cared for. we are still determining how many health care workers that will be. it is an intensive investigation and it takes many hours of tracing steps. we will always cast the net wider. this is no risk to people outside of that circle of the health care workers who cared for the individual patient and the initial 48 patients or

contacts would had possible contact with the index patient with we have identified. the second point is what we do to stop ebola is break the links of transmission. we will break the chains of transmission by making sure that every person with ebola virus is promptly diagnosed, that they are promptly isolated, we identify their contacts and we actively monitor their contacts each day for 21 days. if they develop symptoms or fever, we do the same process again. that is how we have stopped every ebola outbreak in history except the one currently in west africa. that is how we stopped it in lagos. that is how we will stop it in dallas. breaking the links in a chain of transmission is the key to preventing further spread.

i turn it now over to the doctor. >> thank you, director frieden, this is the commissioner of health of the state of texas. i appreciate the support of the centers for disease control over the last several weeks as we have been working through this unprecedented event. our staff have been working throughout the night trying to gather more information and as we get more information we will provide the information. as dr. frieden noted we have one health care worker, the worker that had extensive contact with the initial patient who did what was appropriate, with early symptoms, came in to be checked. we got the blood tests done and that test came back at 9:30 last night and as do frieden noted, it was positive. the controls were appropriate. the amount of virus in her blood

was less than what was there when the first index came back but it is a positive test. our hearts do go out to this individual and the family. it is a health care worker who was willing to compassionately care for duncan. our thoughts and prayers are with the worker. we have been preparing for events such as this putting in con tinge answer plans and refining the plans. a lot of work is taking place. as the dr. noted, the 48 original contacts continue to be monitored and they continue to do well. we have one health care worker who now needs our care. as dr. frieden noted, we are going to and will continue to monitor health care works and mayor sure any health care worker with a fever or any other

symptom will be identified with this individual and will continue to work to make sure the infection and control practices being performed at the hospital are at the highest standards and fully evaluating what is underway and figure out exactly what happened that allowed this individual to be infected. we have brought in more public health officials, public health staff, all to make sure we have the individuals we need to fully evaluate this situation. again, we appreciate the work from the centers for disease control and their support for texas working through this situation. >> we will now take questions starting in the room and go to the phone. >> i have from atlanta, this health care worker had multiple contacts with the original

patient. if your interviews with her has she isolated a chance where it may have occurred, where breach, talking about why you are specifically venting where she was taking off the equipment or why did you focusing on that part in your investigation. >> we have spoken with the health care worker and that individual has not been able to identify a specific breach. the way we do these investigations we look at every interaction, the nature of the interaction, we look at any other information we can gather. i was not mentioning taking on or off the p.p.e. or the roars, but as a general rule these are the two areas where we see the greatest risk. >> will this change the way health care workers whether atlanta or dallas, interact with the potential patients?

what will change? >> it will certainly be telling us there is a need to enhance the training and the protocols and make sure the protocols are followed. the protocols work. we have decades of experience caring for patients with ebola. we know that even a single breach can result in infection. figuring out how all of the things we can do to minimize that risk such as those i went through, reducing the number of health care works and a procedure to essential procedures and having a site monitored, these are all things to look at closely. >> we will go to the 15 for questions. >> say your name clearly. >> first question, is from dr. richard from abc. >> you said how difficult it is

to implement proper infection criminal and how one slip can be so dangerous. is there any consideration of moving to a system where you would move patients to the specialized units where they actually are trained instead of treating them in hospitals where they don't have that training? >> we are going to look at all opportunities to improve the level of safety and minimize risk. however, we cannot let any hospital let its guards down because a patient, an american returning or someone else coming into the country who has exposure and maybe didn't even have an awareness of the exposure could become ill. we want hospitals to have the ability to rapidly consider, isolate and diagnosis ebola virus patients. anyone who has been in these areas in the past 21 days with a fever or symptoms should be immediately isolated and

evaluated for ebola. i distinguish the diagnosis needs to be done anywhere and think of the safest way to provide the care is something we will be looking at. >> thanks. the centers for disease control director frieden, briefing reporters on the second confirmed case of ebola in the united states. you said your research indicates it can be worse but is there a fin line between the media covering the developments and anticipating what is around and spreading fear? >> it is a difficult balance but the stakes are so high. the media plays an extremely important role to take what the government is telling us and examining contradictions. maybe it is not is hard to get. we are doing everything we can. >> we are not stopping incoming patients. the media's job is to make sure there are reality checks to the

information. >> that is right. here we have a medical professional, trained in treating the maybes and that person contracted the disease. we have the president of the united states saying, don't worry about it, you can't get it sitting next to someone on the bus. yes, you can, if they cost open you, spreads their body fluids on you, we are getting a lot of contradictory statements from our legislations and the president's job is to dissect that and get to the truth. we have a press conference here and i am listening to the man being called "patient index," his name was thomas eric duncan, he died from ebola and he lied when he came to the united states. we have a press conference in texas and they are saying we cannot step the flights. >> and what was brought up amy brought up the statements of

president obama and whether you think this is being cast in matter dan terms? >> 100,000 people died of aids before ronald reagan mentionedded the word. i do not blame ronald reagan on aids and to blame president obama on ebola virus is purely political partisanship and out of the place. >> but the media criticism at the time for appearing to move slowly, so why is it not fair? the centers for disease control is part of the obama administration. >> partisan now and partisan now. keep politics out of it. i would like to talk about the media because i think the media is doing a public service and disservice on ebola virus. it is serious. we ought to take it seriously. the disservice has been, three months ago i saw the headline, we all did, panic, one case in new york city, perhaps, way back. panic. no need for panic and i don't think there is need for panic now. the theme is "trust us," how can

you trust them with this hospital let this guy go. that is one breach. now, another breach and the health workers gets the disease. trust us? that is hard to do. >> the cover of yesterday "ebola scare in brooklyn," a kid who some thought had the virus, he didn't. that kind of thing makes me think we have a hair trigger on anything having to do with ebola. >> this is such an important case but we are going to swing as human nature does, from false alarm to getting, perhaps, complacent, to another positive case that ranches -- that ratchets things up. this is an extremely important and dangerous thing happening. >> bill press says this resolves around trusting government and that supports your point that the media ought to focus on what the obama administration is or not doing successfully.

obviously you cannot step this away the world but you can try to protect people in our borders and maybe it is not so partisan. >> bill, skit not a partisan criticism of president obama to say, you are contradicting your own health officials when you are trying to reassure the people and, at the same time, sending 3,000 united states troops into liberia and we are getting contra decisionses on -- contradictions. >> i am glad we are sending 23,000 troops to help stop this spreading. it is a humanitarian mission. >> got to cut you off. >> more "media buzz," in a moment. (receptionist) gunderman group. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise,

special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics.

moretahisarriage became legal >> gay marriage became leg in seven more states and the supreme court declined to hear a series of appeals and although it was treated as a news story, conservative commentators who have been on the other side of the issue, most did not have anything to say and there wasn't up talk about it on fox and i am wondering if you think the mainstream coverage has been sympathetic to the notion of same-sex marriage. >> absolutely. there are key issues that the news media covers and they are one-sided and you will see one side covered and the loving couples that are discriminated against and facing the challenges you do not see sympathetic characters on the other side, religious minds that disagree with the philosophy. that viewpoint is successfully villainized by a campaign that made the debate in the united states effectively dead. it has been successful, conservatives are giving it up. >> public opinion has shifted but you are saying the people

that have long supported traditional marriage between a man and a woman are being go mondayized. are the media part of that question? >> part of it, maybe not in an ok straighted way i don't think a lot of minds have been changed but there are muslim whose believe that heterosexual behavior is wrong and they still believe that but they are not going to voice those oppositions as freely as they might have. >> i went on a whole bit of conservative websites. >> and i am a conservative, and conservative website, but the supreme court declined to hear the appeals court cases but part of it is that the media likes to not on controversy and republicans are not kicking up a

lost controversy over the issue. we are in a campaign election year with the midterms, a month away, and i don't think republicans want to focus on gay marriage which is very different from 10 years ago ran for re-election on a platform that included a constitutional amendment but the shift has been arcable and we see that reflected in the coverage. >> there are 11 state initiatives on the ballot in 1974 and all of them passed. it is stunning, we have not seen in our lifetime, any movement on the right or the left, move this fast. i have to say the media saluted there and i was amused by critic on the right-hand side, as it were, but i thought it was a cow wardly decision on the part of the supreme court and the only person who got it ride was on the point of them refusing to hear five. they wanted to wait until the

public opinion caps up and then they will take another case. >> it is not the decision of the court to wait for public decision. >> the stories i see, understandably, over time, family couples are getting married and among the younger shorts, it has shifted and the media coverage is sympathetic. >> there was an orchestrated campaign, perfectly legal, but a lobbying effort to make sure the news media portrayed positive images of gay and lesbian couples leading happy lives like even else.

>> and panetta criticized rebound for asking like a law professor and not a leadership on northern policy. why do you think the media, why is there so much attention? because of who panetta is, wide experience under two or three presidents and big, big job, a democrat. he had two of the biggest jobs under president obama. when he comes out and criticized county rightly or wrongly, for policy decisions and his style of governing, at this time, it will make news. >> journalists have known him since he was a congressman and in the clinton white house and three has a lot of credibility. >> he has a long track record with washington, dc but he is not the first cabinet member to come out with a memoir piling on the president. we had robert gates, hillary clinton and now panetta and geithner and now, also, public opinion polling showing that a majority of the americans do not have faith in this president.

his criticisms are basically piling on the momentum going against him. >> i have been struck by the degree that no one has asked this question although charlie rose did. >> some say, you know, he appointed you to two of the highest positions this country has to offer. just wait until he is out of office before criticizing. >> it is exactly because i am very loyal to this president and because i want him to succeed. >> you wonder, is it all coincidencal timing you talk about panetta and hillary clinton and robert gates, some of the information with have been helpful to know some years ago but, yes, there could be election politics apply. >> if it is such an act of conscience, why wait until you have a book contract? thank you. coming up, is bill o'reilly in

the hotseat? the midterm elections, still about president obama. (coffee be♪ng poured into a cup.) save your coffee from the artificial stuff. switch to truvia. great tasting, zero-calorie sweetness from the stevia leaf.

>> the centers for disease control confirmed that a second person has now tested positive for ebola virus in the united states. despite wearing protective gear while treating thomas eric duncan, the liberian man who died from the virus on wednesday. the patient is a female nurse at texas health presbyterian hospital in dallas, the first time the disease has been transmitted here in the united states and the centers for disease control director says it is possible that other people were exposed, as well, additional staff are headed to the hospital to investigate. the agency is blaming a break in safety protocol for the case. authorities taking no chances and dallas police are convassing the woman's neighborhood trying to identify anyone she may have

come in contact with. i will have much more on the developing story when i see. >> at 7:00 p.m. eastern with the fox report weekend. back to media buzz.... >> anyone who were whats the far countior knows bill o'reilly has strong feelings on the media and he has a new book about patton. we sat down in new york. >> i finally got that the press is covering president obama aggressively and you are saying their heart is not in it. >> does it count? well, it counts that we are actually getting the news reported after six years. that is an improvement. what i meant was the express not in business anymore to give the

folks information. that is not what they do. they are in business to promote a certain agenda. that really is harming the nation. >> if journalists dig into the secret service, the v.a., problems with medicare, how is that pushing an agenda, is that old fashioned reporting? >> look at the experience of the reporter from cbs which is the best those days on the note works, she could not get her stories on the air. she had to leave the organization. are they playing catch up because president obama is in disfavor? yes, they are. >> it is ears because the spot down in the polls. >> for them. >> to pile on and to green light the stories? >> the press role is clear: the founding fathers gave us protections to keep an eye on all power will people not to pick and choose. that has not been done in the last decade.

>> what did you thing of the liberals at msnbc who were all over george bush's war and now are falling if behind behind obama's war? >> after my interview with panetta how they spun that was interesting. they said, well every administration has people who disagree. it was humorous. be honest, msnbc ratings cannot get much lower. they are scratching. no one is watching during the day and very few at night. it is not a news organization. it is a cable channel. it is not a news organization. what i am aphrased is that nbc doesn't pull the plug. when you fall behind cnn, and they now beating them, where will it go? they will not be successful. it will not happen. why doesn't nbc with all of their powers and resources use the cage network for something

different and better? it is amazing to me. >> fox had a conservative guest and you said do not give me obama bashing give me the facts. all the conservative come tears that will never say anything nice about rebound? >> yes and you will not see them on "the factor," because it is boring. it is boring to me. we know you don't like the president. advance whatever the story is we are talking about. give me your perspective. don't say boots on the ground 45 times. i am tired of it. what we try do is fix office as you know, liberals and conservatives. if you tally up the guests for the week it is even. i try to be a guy would challenges everyone although i am a traditional man. i do believe that america's finest days are not now. i like to get back to that. >> when you have something positive to say about the 39

does you get push back? >> no, there is in ... i get hostile mail about everything. there are people who don't like president obama. if you say something nice about him you are a sell out or a liberal or this or that. there are other people on the left who are as insane. those people are called zealots. that is what they are called. >> do you see a budding press romance with hillary clinton despite she has had testy relations going back to the clinton white house. >> i don't think the press will be as squad the about hillary clinton as president obama but the national media will support her effort rather than a republic no matter who it is. will it be so pronounced as the obama situation? no it will be intense. she will get a big boost from the press. >> you talked about the plunge

in the news business and it is dramatic saying a major reason is the nastiness and the meanness but you go after the pinheads and you contribute. >> pinhead is a temperature -- term even dearment. if you do not think clearly you are a pinhead. we try not to do personal attacks. we are in our 19th season. i do not go after people on a personal level. i will go after you hard if i disagree with you on policy or if i think your thinking is harming children or something like that but there is a difference teen that and a personal attack smear machine. take panetta. he now is a traitor, he is a disgraceful human being, just because he is telling the truth as he sees it. that is a personal attack. >> if you want to disagree, disagree. >> do you think you go too fares in your language? >> no one is perfect. our policy is not to do that.

>> more in a moment including whether he finally feels accepted by the mainstream media he loves to bash. o bash. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

when folks think about wthey 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. a hi.ty? i'm new ensure active clear protein drink. clear huh? my nutritional standards are high. i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got 8 grams of protein. twist my lid! that's three times more than me. 17 vitamins and minerals. and zero fat! hmmmm. you bring a lot to the party! yay! new ensure active clear protein. 8 grams protein. zero fat. 17 vitamins and minerals. in delicious blueberry pomegranate and mixed fruit.

more now from my one-on-one with bill o'reiley. >> you've you've written killing

lincoln, killing kennedy, killing jesus and now the best, killing patton. what is this with death? >> we're trying to bring. all of these are 2 million sellers plus. patton may be the best selling of them all. >> you once taught high school. >> i was a high school history teacher. but what we've done here is that the history industry is dry and it's 800 pages and you can't get through it. robert carrow is a brilliant man. how many people are going to read his books on lbj? i'm not a brilliant man, but i understand what happens and how to tell a story. so our history books are like thrillers. so people can enjoy them no matter what. you don't have to be a history fanatic and you can learn a lot in the process. so everybody wins. >> were you drawn to patton as a subject in part because he did not get along with president truman or the ek he koes of the

battles he had in world war ii in today's landscape? >> i like patton as the subject of a book because everything was swirling around him. hitler, stalin, fdr, patton was the guy stirring the last five months of the world war ii in europe. the worst time of the history of civilization. and he was right there on everything. and then the fact that he died mysteriously adds to the narrative. so it was a perfect subject to me. >> did you start out with the notion that patton, perhaps, did not die as advertised because he happened to be a car accident victim and there might have been an assassination plot by stalin or did you come to that as you started digging into it? >> we knew there were questions about patton's death. what we do, martin dugard do what we call investigative history. we say, okay, there are questions about jfk's death. so let's look at that. we debunked all the conspiracy

theories in killing kennedy. we did the same thing with patton. there are questions about his death. let's take a look. what we found is pretty harrowing. >> you were able to abl talk about this book on letterman, on stephanopoulos, will you now drop the argument that you're a lonely outsider who is not accepted by the mainstream media? >> it's not about being skepd. it's about success. and i bring ratings to those shows. so when i go on letterman or the morning shows, the ratings go up. that's when they have me on. >> do you think there's been a change? >> yeah, i think over the -- look, at first, they tried to destroy me, they being the mainstream media. i've been here 18 years so they've given that up. >> not going anywhere. >> right. so i can be a benefit to them because the ratings will go up. i think we do interesting things, so the segments are good. they do have me in. they say oh, o'reiley, you're a best seller because you're on tv. you have to have the product. you're on tv, you can write a book, if it's not good, it's not

going to sell. you have to have a good book. >> got to have word-of-mouth. >> you've got to have it. >> you love to take whacks at jon stewart and he enjoys beating you up on you and beating up on fox pep often retreats to i'm just a guy with a comedy show, but at the same time, i think he's an important social critic. is he trying to have it both ways? >> no. i think you're overestimating his importance. i'll be on stewart next week. i think stewart is a very, very smart man who is marketing himself to an extremely liberal audience, a young liberal audience. and he's going to stay in that envelope so he's successful and comedy central makes money. does he believe everything he says? no. is he a comedian primarily? yes. are you a pinhead if you believe what he says? absolutely you are. >> there's that pinhead word again. >> yeah. the last time i was on, i called his audience all stone slackers. that's a large part of his

audience. they're out in the ozone. but i don't -- i don't diminish him as a cultural figure. he is not a journalist figure, but culturally, he's very important. >> well, he can't be totally inflating his importance or you wouldn't be on the show. >> i go on the show just to amuse myself, just to smack him around here and there, you know? because who else is going to do that but me? no one. most people are intimidated by him. so it's more amusing than anything else. his audience, they're not likely to buy my book, okay? but we get a segment on the factor from it, so does a lot of cross promotion and it works. >> an awesome sxonresponsibilit. bill o'reileo'reiley, thank you. >> thanks for having me in? >> after the break, why isn't there more interest in the midterms?

that disease is for older people. not me. i take good care of myself. i'm active. i never saw it coming....it hit me like a ton of bricks. pneumococcal pneumonia was horrible... the fatigue... the chest pains, difficulty breathing. it put me in the hospital. you don't want to go through what i did. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor. you may be able to prevent it.

time to talk about the midterms. joining us on cusack editor in chief of the hill, and susan, i've never seen a midterm election where on the national level so few people seem to be paying attention. >> i think if you look at the tracking over the years, tens, decades, midterms always track lower than the election where the president runs. fewer people are paying attention. that's not new. what's new this time is it's dropped off so much, particularly from the 2010 election where everybody was so much more interested and enthusiastic. which really paid off for republicans. what ultimately matters is people who vote are probably on track for about average last election, was still about average, even though we had all that enthusiasm.

really average turnout. >> i think it's just kind of almost blown off the radar screen by the other big stories, isis, secret service, ebola. of course, pew survey says only 15% of people say they're following the election closely compared to 36% for ebola. >> i think part of the case for washington, and these stories are more interesting, can i get ebola? and isis, the administration on it has gotten a lot of attention and that's not just for democrats but it's clearly not on the radar. >> one national -- one story got a lot of national attention was kentucky, did you vote for barack obama. she gives this long answer and kind of refuses to answer the question. >> i think this highlights the enduring importance of editorial boards. everybody says let's write them off now, social media, what do we need them for? here's a shining example where there they're questioning her, making her answer and putting it

out on they're using social media to show the importance of the editorial board. >> good media answer. and also in terms of the focus on president obama, a lot of people replayed that sound bite where he said i'm not on the ballot but my policies are on the ballot. that's not necessarily how democrats want to frame this election. >> no, that's right. this is what republicans wanted. they did act immediately on it. overall, i think it was rough week for democrats. >> you're going to score this you would say that who won the media week? >> i would say republicans as you talked about earlier, leon panetta just dominated the news cycle. and that really played into the gop criticisms. >> when have the democrats have a good week lately? >> you were saying republicans won the media week? >> i think they have. they have consistently won it here we are leading up to the important midterm the polls are looking much more in their favor. that has dominated the news cycle in addition to the negative press about democrats and the obama white house. not a good week for democrats. >> just over three weeks to go i
