thank you. that will do it for the sunday morning futures. i'll be back tomorrow morning on opening bell at 9:00 a.m. eastern on the fox business network. up next, ho howie kurtz. >> up next, the media bursting with analysis and speculation. will president obama drag the democrats down to defeat and republicans seize control of the senate. the prognosticators even on the left are all but calling it for the gop. >> i think the republicans will probably take the senate back. >> if the gop can't win back the senate, maybe the party ought to look for another country. >> democrats are, as we talked about, going to have a bad election, no matter how you flank it. >> i think come election night, there is a path to victory for the democrats. >> the media pouncing on hillary clinton's latest gaffe and chris

christie's latest eruption. >> but until that time, sit down and shut up. >> the shadow boxing for 2016 is already under way. decision time, fox news's digital politics editor on making those difficult calls on election night. plus, a wash in attack ads. why fact checking all those negative spots is sometimes a frustrating failure. i'm howard kurtz and this is a special edition of media buzz. there are plenty of tight as a tick races in the battle for control of the senate. that means lots of anchors and correspondents, some of them standing in front of a color coded mess. >> president obama already battling with the republicans. will he soon face a republican senate? >> when it's all said and done, we could be looking at a very different balance of power in this country. if the election was held today,

republicans are poised to pick up alaska, montana, south dakota, iowa. >> the senate hinges on eight or nine senate races that are in a dead heat. >> west virginia looks comfortable for republicans. so, too, does south dakota and montana. now you're at 48. >> joining us here in new york to examine the coverage in this home stretch, andrea contera. julie and amy. all right, andrea, what explains this deep seeded genetic urge to predict north carolina or new hampshire or all these other races when no one really knows was going to happen? >> we love competition. it's why we love sports. this is sporting season and this is politics this time around. i think they're being more responsible than they were in 2012. they are playing it safe. >> you're wrong. we save the video and play it next week. >> that's right. i will say the way this media

has handled it vmt around is very different than the way they've handled it in past year. in 2006, that was mark foley's scandal, the media was salivating because they knew there was a deep distrust in the gop. i was working on a midterm election and they were covering it incessantly. this time around, they haven't coughed it the way they used to cover it. a lot of people in the mainstream media are poised pore embarrassing losses. now, the media research center studied this. in comparison with 2006, 159 stories between 2006 and cbs and abc, this year alone, a poultry . in fact, abc news didn't even do one story until october 27th. >> do you think that is because there is -- there are a lot of depressed journalists who don't like the way this election is going or do you think that perhaps the vetting on the part of executives is that public is

sick of politics, it's not rating and, you know, putting up the midterms is not going to move the dial? >> you've got an entire news network, cnn, devoted to the "new york times" and moving to another aspect of it. i think that is true. i think people in general hate the parties. nobody is rooting for anybody. the republicans i believe are going to take the senate. nevertheless,ite not people are rooting for the republicanes to take over. they can't stand the democrats, they can't stand the republicans. now we're back to the midterms. people are already talking about 2016. i think people are moving on. we have ebola, we have isis, we have other crises to worry about. >> so you predicted a republican senate so i can't get you to fight with andrea auto that one. in the "new york times," obama is braced for a shift in congress. washington post republicans appear to be closing in on senate control. and then you have these poll gurus, the "new york times"

buckshots, 70% for the gop takeover. what do you make of these kinds of prognostications? >> well, i always think about the night he ahead of the new hampshire primary 2008 when the entire newspaper the written the story that hillary clinton lost to barack obama. women came out in record numbers and she defeated him by three percentage points in that race. >> you're saying sometimes the polls are wrong because the truth is, and especially in the midterms, you don't know who is going to turn out and that can swing races. >> and turnout especially will help the democrats. young people, women, white working class voters who skew democratic in some of these states are the ones who stay home in the midterms. so i think you see bill clinton doing these huge effort, i think that will be a huge move for democrats there. >> what do you think of this -- there has been. do you think the midterm coverage has brought balance and

fair to the republicans? >> i think it's been fair. i think it's been more stories that haven't existed partnership talked about this with bill o'reiley. i don't think they've covered these local races the way that they used to be covered. thank god no republican has put his foot in his mouth like todd aiken did. that gave this many them a reason to cover it the last time. they get it wrong, but they tend to paint the republican as the woman hater or the mysognist. that has been a surprised to me. that women voters are moving towards republicans and the same thing with these disaffected millennials. the media has covered this year democrats are going to have a heart time getting to the polls. >> the media is imploding. there are moss newspapers buy

out lately because, unfortunately for all of us -- >> it's boots on the ground, of course. >> of course. and that's a problem. >> we don't have the controversial -- but you do have coverage, i think, of the candidates who have made a lot of news for this cycle to the democrats. >> is that unfair to democrats or is that covering the news? >> no, it's covering the news. it should be covered. >> it's in terms of getting out her base. she has to appeal to dern democrat graphics. that's why she's saying what she's saying. >> they haven't covered it the way they would if it was a republican saying it. that barely got any coverage. now he said he made a mistake.

if it were republicans, it could be covered and looped and looped on cnn and other channels. it was not done that way around. >> i see a lot of coverages, some weeks ago in the "new york times" saying the democratic party had benched barack obama, no trespassing signs for a lot of these candidates. is obama the central figure in this campaign? it simplify tess story line in what will be the selection in state and local races. >> it's an insashl narrative to have this popular star win twice now be persona non-gratta in several states. i think the democrats have been pushing the narrative just as much as republicans. you see allison grimes say repeatedly, i'm not an obama democrat i'm a clinton democrat. i think the democrats have made this as much about obama as the media. >> also the question of competing story lines.

i've seen more coverage this week of the nurse who was fighting the main authorities. she doesn't want to be quarantined. some other places of the midterms. >> in fairness, i think a lot of people are more interested in ebola and interested in isis than these midterm elections. so the media is covering what the people want. however, i think a lot of the mainstream media know this is going to be bad for democrats. a lot of the comments, as you mentioned, have been i think pretty inflammatory towards female republican candidates. they look and see hey, nothing to see here. we're not going to cover it this time around. very different with a republican win. >> even in this final week, tv networks have led with ebola, led with the spaceship crash. i think that's the perception of people that run these programs is that's what people are more interested in. >> people, as andrea pointed out, people are terrified of ebola. it's something that's very

personal to them. obviously, with all the other stuff going on, isis and all these things are people inher t inherently want to know about because it averages their life. midterm elections are the same old elections. there's nothing new to see here. >> but it's not the same old stuff in the sense that we do have a situation where it is likely or probable to choose your adjective that republicans will control the united states senate, which means they control what goes to the floor, the nominations, subpoenas, maybe when people look at that, i wonder if this is an issue for newspapers, as well. they think that it's washington, nothing gets done. it's totally dysfunctional. nothing is going to happen regardless of who is in charge, is that overstating it a bit? >> no, i think that's part of it. i also think people aren't as interested in midterms. you see that in media and in turnout. i also think there's a sense that on wednesday the longest,

most expensive presidential campaign starts for the media. and i think there is sort of some preemptive fatigue. >> it already started. we'll talk about this in the next segment. i've read several articles about hillary clinton. >> oh, she's all over the place. >> 2016 teams and a week out from 2014. that seems a little out of walk. >> i agree, but that seems to be the interest and it's what you see in midterm coverage. you see bill and hillary clinton out on the campaign trail and every race in the country. >> that doesn't mean the cameras have to cover them every single time, but it's good for you because you cover hillary. we all remember "the washington post" story saying a convicted felon somehow got on an elevator with president obama. well, yesterday, "the washington post" had a story saying, huh-uh, our sources now say this guy was not a convicted felon. that story rain on the bottom of

page 2. that was an embarrassing mistake. heed, a look at why media fact checkers are sail to derail misleading attack ads. also, is hillary clinton getting too much scrutiny or not enough inspect? and cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any allergic reactions like rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial.

what midterm? the media stays fixated on 2016 and especially hillary rodham clinton. especially after she said this at a rally this boston this week. >> don't let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. >> you cover hillary clinton. did this particular gaffe involved the media coverage or

is everything she does magnified? >> everything she does is definitely magnified. i think martin o'malley or ted cruz with would love it if everybody shows up wherever he went. i think this is how uncomfortable she is when she tries to get out of her comfort zone. she was trying to appeal to the progressive side of the democratic party and a few days later she had to say she stumble approximated. >> in fact, she did say a day or two later she was talking about tax breaks for business, but nevertheless, this got a lot of coverage. >> i think she was in her comfort zone. she's in massachusetts. i feel like she truly believes what she said. hillary clinton is a progressive at her core. i did think the media coverage was very fair, though. in "the washington post," people were analyzing why she said it and the implication is politically of why she said it. he said they would be her wall street problem. then you have andrew ross sorkin with the "new york times"

wondering if this was going to hurt her with bankers. i thought she was very tired, she was speak with the heart. when she back peddled, the media covered it and not as much as they covered barack obama's you didn't build that, but they covered it in a more fair manner, which is trying to examine the motives, whether or not she was tired, she lost herr mind. >> i think obama's comment, when you read it in the speech, you knew what i was saying. >> like she threw it out there because she was tired and didn't know what she was saying. >> elizabeth warren, the populist champion of the democratic party, it almost seems like a lot of pundits want hillary to be more like elizabeth. >> the flavor of the campaign. >> two years. >> for about 24 months. and hillary clinton was sort of old hat and people were tired of her. now this whom narrative, that hillary clinton is going to be the nominee for the press is a born narrative. there is no fight. so you want -- i assume if

you're in the press core, you want some sort of story, you want some sort of narrative. >> you need a conscious, you need a struggle. elizabeth warren might run, but she's not running. >> it's ridiculous. secretly, she might run. she's not running. hilla hillary, if she wants to run is going to be the nominee. >> hillary is running. she may decide to stop running. politico had a big story magazine article on hillary clinton this week and said she had met privately with the obama campaign manager who said stop the emplploy and run now. if she did that, there would be 2,000 people following hillary and scrutinizing her even more. >> that's true, but i think she was being scrutinized as if she is the presumptive nominee. we're seeing opposition research on the other side digging up things about the clinton. if she wants to stop it, she could always say i'm not

running. but we talked to the voters in iowa who said don't come here and play coy. ask us for your vote. i think there's fatiguers among this will she or won't she. >> everybody will be sick of her and the whole campaign by the time 2016 rolls around. gotta go. thanks very much for joining us in new york. ahead on this special edition of "media buzz," eric holder finally admits he was wrong to treat fox's james rowsen like a criminal about time. but first, the media used to love chris christie when he unloaded on some poor sap. now, not so much. what changed?

it's hardly usual for chris christie to tee off against candidates. it was treated as big news and replayed doesz of times on msnbc.

>> it's been 23 months since then when all i've been doing is flapping your mouth and not doing anything. listen, if you want to have the conversation later, i'm happy to have it, buddy. but until that time, sit down and shut up. >> how did governor chris christie mark the anniversary of hurricane sanding hitting his state? attacked one of the victims of the storm. >> chris christie insulted a voert in new jersey. can't wait to see how that play necessary iowa. >> joining us now, rich lowery, and mark hannah. that christyrant went on four about two minutes. last year he was on the cover of time magazine as the boss, very upbeat piece. now the guy who the media used to celebrate being blunt is being painted very differently. >> you saw the media turn on him

on the george washington bridge controversipy. this is nothing new. for a potential presidential candidate, this is something novel. this is not the way we see any presidential candidate treat hecklers. and plus it involves entertaining video. so you get those two things together and you get the media stepping over it. >> if he was a talk show host, he could yell at the guests. now, new york daily news writing this up, mark. there's actually a picture of christie morphing into tony so braino and the tony soprano candidate is in the lead. >> you're taking someone who has a temper of -- maybe not a presidential candidate. i think rich was being somewhat polite and somewhat generous in describing his temperament. >> but this is comparing him to

a mob boss. >> right. but as somebody who has italian heritage -- >> aren't you offended? >> i'm offend. i take umbrage. but you've got this typical attitude. the rest of the country, when they think of new jersey, this is what they think of. unfortunately, he's feeding into that stereotype. the problem becomes, you know, is when you're faced with a heckler, you can't heckle back. you have to respect the voters, even if they don't respect you. and that, when he moves to the national stage is going to be chris christie's biggest challenge. >> i think voters want a president would gets aggravated. let me turn to jeb bush, there's been this big will he won't he question. jeb bush junior has talked to the "new york times" and says the family is now on born and bush's other son.

i'll play that for you followed by a brief reaction from the florida governor. >> i think it's more than likely that he's giving this a serious thought moving forward. >> that he will run? >> that he will run. if you asked me a few years back, i would say it was less likely. >> he has an opinion. he did talk to me. my so many sons were just out there and i had nothing to do with it. >> the object session with this was it was like a white puff of smoke to go up from the vatican when they're about to have a new pope. just the media examine a huge -- republicans are on the edges of their seat about this decision. obviously, it would be hugely sequential. it will literally define the american presidential field. >> i often criticize the shadowy sources the media used in this instance involving both sons of jeb bush. >> no, i don't think george bush is necessarily a political novice.

he knows exactly what he's doing here. and they're sending a signal. we were talking in the green room about why do people wait so long to announce? this buys us some time and gets them talking. >> where is the media? a lot of people think think he was running. >> new republic, preemptive headline the other day. it won't be ohm ba ma's fault when democrats lose the senate. should the press be blaming president obama for every democrat that's struggling? >> yes. it's the defining factor in these midterms. i don't understand how desperate so much of the media is to get president obama off the hook here. the "new york times" wrote an article saying it's not obama's time. it's all the democrats fault for trying to run away from him. but they're trying to run away from him for a reason, because they're rational people and they know that's the route to survival. >> is it unfair? >> i don't -- look, i think it's

not unfair if it is accurately reflecting the attitude and the opinions of the voters. and in a lot of these swings states, he's wildly unpopular now. that is a trial for a lot of the democrat candidates. >> and candidates are running away from him. >> i think the republicans, it's been prognosticated if they're doing so well. but there's an alternative vision, an alternative set of public policies that was affirmative, not necessarily oppositional or negative. >> just a few seconds, do you agree with that part? >> i think it would have been better to have a big, national agenda. now, in these individual races, there are republican candidates who are running on issues, but there's no big defining national issue besides the president and his policies. >> right. certainly not on terms of the national media coverage. thanks very much for stopping by. >> thank you, howie. >> next on media buzz from new york, how misleading commercials that work no matter how much

pinocchios they get. and later, john roberts in louisiana uncovering these senate races from the trenches. if yand you're talking toevere rheumyour rheumatologiste me, about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection.

than the leading whitening toothpaste. crest 3d white whitestrips, the way to whiten. use this collection together to whiten in just 1 day. liefr from america's news headquarters. i'm eric shawn. a search for answers after a tragic fire tore through an apartment becoming near the university of southern maine following a halloween party in portland. five people were killed, one critically injured. it is not yet clear if the victims were students at the college. investigator res trying to fooig find out how the blaze started. the fire, the deadliest in maine in 30 years. hamas opposes a u.n. construction plan following its war with veil this summer. a spokesman for the radical islamic group calling for unassemble and efficient. earlier, israel closed its crossing points in gaza after militants fired two rockets into

israeli territory. israeli militants say the rockets exploded in open fields and caused no injuries. i'm eric shaup. see you at the top of the hour. now back to media buzz. television loves the play the latest political ads, particularly negative ads. what drives me crazy is when news outlets let candidates make charges without fact checking the allegations. >> michelle nunn's own plan says she funded organizations linked to terrorists. >> i'm david purdue. i approve this message. >> my opponent led a crusade that would make birth control illegal, sponsored a bill to make abortion a felony. his record is beyond troubling. >> joining us now in new york is frank luntz. so that attack on initial nunn was totally bogus, linking to a group that her points of life

foundation had funded. against corey gardner was basically true. he's changed his position somewhat now over the account of birth control. you're a political guy. when you're in it with a group making a ad and some media guy comes along and says that's b.s., that's misleading for pinocchios, does it tick you off? >> but it matters. accuracy matters. it's one of the reasons why the american people don't trust anybody on the republican or democratic side. why some adds cut through because you don't have to challenge them because they're using some factoid to try to prove a point, the move positive ads, the most powerful ads in this campaign, castrating pigs to demonstrate the chiefs against pork in washington. that ad put her on the map. i think that ad is going to elect her for the u.s. senate. corey gardner challenging what she said there, his position now is in support of over the court

contraceptives. he delivered his response to camera in a positive way. he referred to the senator as a nice guy. how often do you hear that in politics? i think that's going to get him elected. >> but you're talking about the architecture of making ads. and i agree with you, unless you're a pig lover, the ad about castrating pigs is very, very effective. but when poli at this fact and washington post fact checker, when they come along and say this is exaggerated, this is misleading or this is flat wrong, how much impact does it have when you can play an ads hundreds of times? >> it depends. more often than not, it doesn't have an impact 378. so many more people see an ad on television than read about it in the newspaper. what campaigns do, they take politifact and turn that into a commercial. but then it gets too convoluted. >> he said/she said. >> and then it becomes unde-pfeiferble.

you have a responsibility in politics to tell the truth. you have the right to challenge. you have the right to say the incumbent hasn't done their job. but you have the responsibility to be factual and to show those ads. when we do ads, we say you have to put the fact that you are basing the attack on the screen so the voter the read it. number one and number two you you better have three different points of offense for what you just said or they won't believe it. >> you're confirming my thesis which is that even the most diligent fact checker is -- when that becomes the focus of a big counterattack add. can't lay a glove on falsehoods, which people in your business must love. >> but look at alaska. and i actually believe the republican candidate and the attorney general, sullivan, will beat ten couple bant because beggage ran an ad that accused sullivan of releasing a criminal who then went out and killed somebody. is sullivan wasn't even attorney general when that person was

released and the family said take the ad down. it's not accurate. you're hurting us. how long did it take to bring it down? 96 hours. four days. >> you're saying sometimes ads go too far. especially on the emotional ones, which is easy to understand media secretmy. the pushback can back fire on the person that puts out the attack ads? >> mark still could win, but he was going to be re-elected according to what we had seen. because he did that ad, because it went too far, because the families said enough is enough, we've already suffered enough pain, i believe he loses because of that ad. >> politifact gave you the lie of the year, saying obamacare being debated was a government takeover of health care. >> and now look at it. let's see. the government says to the insurance companies you may not offer these plans any longer. the government says that people now have to go through the sign up, through the computer sign up and they can't. they can't figure it out. 6 million people or serve or eight, we're not quite sure exactly how many millions of

people have lost their care. >> all kinds of problems. the administration oversold it. it was deceptive, but it's still administered by private insurance companies. >> as determined by the government and even nancy pelosi herself has acknowledged that the government has made these decisions on behalf of the american people. so she says it's a positive. but even she acknowledges that the government is now directly involved. does politifact take it back? no. >> i've got a few seconds. four years later, your message to politifact is? >> don't let your political bias get in the way of your accountability. you serve as an essential purpose in holding candidates and campaigns accountable, but you have to get it right just as you expect the candidates to get it right. how is that? did i bow okay? >> that was okay. frank luntz, thank you very much. >> thank you. and just ahead, how did this

nutty story about michelle obama get any traction at all? and coming up, everyone remembers the blow and election calls of the past. chris on how the network will make its projections this tuesday night. óqoqúúñ@

having to make difficult judgment calls under realtime pressure. plenty of people remember the night of the 2012 election when karl rove questioned the vote in ohio chmd mean mitt romney lost the race. >> when you see that map, the biggest one being kie yo cuyoga, cleveland. we'll see them chip away at that 3%. >> is this just math that you do as a republican to make yourself feel better or is this real and you genuinely think -- >> absolutely, yes. >> joining us now is chris, fox news digital politics editor remembering that moment when you were on the decision desk. broadly speaking, if you get the call right, nobody remembers it. if you blow it, nobody forgets it. >> look, a call, we were very happy to be right. and we always like to be first.

but it is a low value news item, right? there is an internal -- there is internal competition among the networks to call first, right? we always want to be first. >> why is that? >> because we're human beings. but the risk, if you go to quickly, you remember 2000 and the recount that follows is that you wind up with that guy. >> there is that, but there is also we want our viewers not to go some place else. we want to call -- and on tuesday, it's not just to call individual races. it's about control of the senate. so we have the narrative laying out across the country and across time zones. so we want to stay in the space so people don't say, oh, these guys, there's nothing going on here. i'm going to flip around and see what's going pop. >> i think it will create preb your to maybe pull the trigger too soon. are you conscious at cbs or cnn or nbc has called a state race and you haven't? does that make you feel uneasy? >> we don't pay attention to that. i know that other people do, but

we, as much as is possible, try to have each decision be the decision. now, will it confess that after election night, did i ever go back and see who called what when? maybe i do. but what we want to do is as you rightly point out, the downside to being wrong is so bad and the upside for being right is marginal and minimal. so what we do is you have to be right first. and then being first is good, too. >> so when you're on the decision next tuesday night and you're looking at the polling and races close, it seems to be polling one way with some of the guys that reported, what factors go into making that call? >> we are very blessed because wewe have an excellent team of statisticians and the people we have. >> these are the unsung heros? >> these are the people inside the nerd tank. it takes a lot to make me look good. but inside the nerve tank, these are the people driving the data. then what i think i bring to the process is something human intelligence. how did the county go?

what have the ads been? what's the spend here? what do we expect? what are the historical priors and knowing about races and knowing about bringing them together. and then we have the great william b. bill salmon who is there to screen and filter and everything by judgment in the end to make the right call. >> so i just got a tweet from jim laney saying really tired of hearing about the midterm elections. i do, however, tune in when you are on the air. let me look at the second part -- >> which is great. >> do you sense a lot of political fatigue out there among viewers? >> no. what's great about the media climate and environment is self-select. people that don't want it don't have to have it any more. what midterms? yeah, i'm sure it's just the ratings. >> you think it's a big republican year and the networks are shying away? >> i think if you have a bunch of democratic viewers and the news is uniformly bad for democrats -- i'm not making a

specific accusation, i'm saying human nature being what it is, a programming choice might cause somebody to say people hate this story, let's not show it as much. >> all right. watching you in a long evening on tuesday night. thanks for joining us. after the break, how much assets do the candidates give correspondents in these midterms? john roberts is live in louisiana in just a moment. mr. clean's grandmother was stronger than people twice her size. and that strength inspired his liquid muscle cleaner. it lifts tough dirt so you do less scrubbing.

and it's nozzle stops by itself so less is wasted. sure made grandma proud. mr. clean liquid muscle. ght, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain.

it did not sit well with the none campaign. despite my long track record, they didn't like the idea that somebody from fox would be moderating that debate, so out i went. >> i got about 20 seconds. maybe they don't television quite as much with social media. >> social media obviously is a great source of outreach for these campaigns, but traditional television is still pretty big. in states where you've got to get independent republican votes doing something with the fox news channel is something they really need to do. thanks. >> still to come, your top tweets. the attorney general finally admits the bumbling.
