2:05 pm
time of need the i an here to make it clear to the ramos family their pain has been felt not just in this community but all the way down to the halls of the united states congress. this is a terrible unthinkable tragedy for the community, for the city, for the country, for the police department and most importantly for the ramos families. by all accounts, officer ramos was a good man. a good father. a good husband. a good police officer. he was there for the city of new york to protect and serve when we needed him. that is why it is important for us to there for the ramos family during this incredible time of need. so we are hopeful that this tragedy will not be in vain and

[ speaking spanish ]

2:09 pm
2:10 pm
speaks. i support pat lynch. i support the police department. >> we are going to be researching out to pat lynch and offer up an opportunity for him to speak. some of the things that the police department is frustrated with, dealing with a lot of different avenues, mandated sentenceing and summons, i speak to the frustration things are not being said and he will create that opportunity for us to understand why he is acting in the partner he is because he is against his members. the officers are in a position to come after us. new york is a corporation. when we turn around there is a similar amount associated with everything that goes down. apparently we are actually looked upon as those that are keeping the city running so putting the pressure on us and having mandates on police
2:11 pm
officers is not the way to go. >> this is a news conference in brooklyn, new york, and fully anticipating that more family members would come to the mike of an officer who was assassinated we while sitting in the squad car this weekend. officer ramos. this has been afternoon were a political situation with local politicians expressing themself, first with condolence and now with more community organization type talk. we will put away from this but let you know that if family members come back to the microphone and news is made we will cover it for you. ramos just turned 40 years old and joined the nypd after working as a school security officer. he had two sons and living in brooklyn, new york, for most of his life, a lifelong resolution -- resident. he and the other officer are being remembered at this hour by the ramos family members. as news is made it will be
2:12 pm
2:13 pm
how can i ease this pain? (man) when i can't go, it's like rocks piling up. i wish i could find some relief. (announcer) ask your doctor about linzess-- a once-daily capsule for adults with ibs with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. linzess is thought to help calm pain-sensing nerves and accelerate bowel movements. it helps you proactively manage your symptoms. do not give linzess to children under 6, and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include, gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. bottom line, ask your doctor about linzess today.
2:15 pm
s a tor >> she challenged a budget bill that came close to causing a government shut down. elizabeth warren is on fire. >> a brilliant political exercise that was. her stock is on the rise. she could well be the hero of the progressive left and the democratic party. a lot of other people, as well. >> here is what was said about another senator who fought the same bill from the other end of the spectrum. >> ted cruz left his republican senate colleagues disparaging him on the record by name. he is worst than useless. he is a problem.
2:16 pm
>> do you see a contrast between the media lionization and treating ted cruz as a wacko? >> of course. the liberal media bias is stale because it is so obviously true. forget elizabeth warren, the wendy davis filibuster was treated as if she was the joan of arc of politics. the double standard is tedious to point out. >> there are distinctions to be made about cruz blamed for the government shut down last year and more republicans are mad at ted cruz and he apologizeds but i am struck by the contrast. >> it is an obvious bias in the way it was covered. she did not she made it clear
2:17 pm
she wasn't interested in shutting down the government the but ted cruz and a lot of republicans would like to had all goes and go to the extreme of wrecking the government but elizabeth warren is the opposite of that and probably wants more. >> of course, the challenge when she -- look at headlines. "warren maybe her mark." and "politico" "elizabeth warren is on fire." on the same screen, "ted cruz does it again." meaning, here he goes again. >> i disagree a little bit. i don't think ted cruz has suggested he wants to wreck government but gives arguments for his vice president whether you agree or not and this is just another example some in the media see a liberal who goes even more liberal as a hero and the conservative who is ultra conservative is a not and a crazy. >> that sums it up. now a depressing story the
2:18 pm
horrifying killing of two police officers in brooklyn shot down by a gunman who posted on instagram before killing himself, the message that he would get a couple of bigs in retaliation for the death of michael brown and eric garner. al sharpton who i have been critical of, put out a column saying this is a vicious act of senseless violence and tying it to ferguson and staten island were reprehensible but a lot of voices are now blaming anyone who criticized the police for anything and that doesn't strike me as fair. >> i don't think it is fair. i think there is a point to be made. we are talking about the disconnect in coverage between left and right, i remember the tucson shooter blamed on michele bachmann and on sarah palin and on the right winger. >> that was wrong. >> i agreed it was wrong the at time. >> we should not do the same thing but when you have sharpton
2:19 pm
going out there, what do we want, dead cops, when, now, that is a different thing than anything you could ascribe to sarah palin facebook and the way it was covered was much different and much less hostile than the stuff we have seen on the right. >> media coverage of this stuff tends to take one action and it is horrendous, take it and start applying háájju from it, like, who is to blame? this is a guy who shot his girlfriend, when up to new york...it could be true he heard these things and decided to do something but it is not necessarily true. >> i wrote a column after the tucson shooting the next day say do not engage in this association between sarah palin but it makes for easy way for television to coverage. >> i feel like blaming violent votes for responsible.
2:20 pm
those who commit the violence are responsible but if you pick on sharpton this does not get a last coverage, farrakhan last month gave a speech where he said things like if they kill one of ours, kill one of theirs, we will die anyway, die for something. i don't blame him i am saying in the media coverage we have given sharpton there wasn't the same media coverage given to farrakhan. >> using that kind of language, it should be called out. >> thank you for joining us. are the media guilty of helping the hearings with all the media coverage of sony? and stephen colbert or his blow hard character, signing off. ame, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it.
2:21 pm
some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

2:24 pm
sony pictures. in the "new york times" and on the "today" show he ripped the media for publishing such correspondence. >> hackers who have threatened violence because the studio wants to exercise their first amendment right that everybody else does, the studio wants to release a movie, has stolen this material and now the press is selling it out of the back of a truck. >> and joining us now is fox news chief washington correspondent james, doesn't circuit have a point? did the media aid and abet the hackers? >> first, i think i should say i bring a certainly authority in regard to my own e-mails were illegally hacked and published. the culprit in this instance was the attorney general of the united states. at that time, i don't recall hearing from eric sorkin. it must have been end up on the cutting room floor. >> because he's more interested in hollywood -- >> elsewhere, he said the media are doing this for a nickel.
2:25 pm
if it were only a nickel, the media wouldn't be doing it. the entertainment industry is worth $700 billion a year. it's almost 4% of our gdp. the same market forces that align in order to pay george sloonny $15 million for appearing in something like oceans 13 are what account for the news value of these people and their comes and doings and occasionally their pitch correspondence. >> we can debate the news value of everybody getting exercise that certain producers were dissing angelina jolie is a spoiled brat and so forth and more serious issues there, as well. cochair amy pascal and a producer telling racially tinged jokes about president obama and his taste in movies. but we wouldn't know any of this were it not for hackers who were trying to send very chilling messages to the united states and, yet, people in our business, they couldn't resist the clicks and the ratings and the segments of dwelling on the
2:26 pm
hollywood -- >> again, to attribute it simply as a lust for clicks i think is pejorative. this is really of news value. these people command a large portion of our economy. and reporters have different kinds of sources all the time with different kinds of motives. they're not always savory. and in the end, the judgments we make about whether to publish this kinds of material has to do with not only the news value, but whether publishing it would reek some greater damage. it cannot be all right for hollywood to publish the papers or dick cheney's e-mails or james rosen's e-mails, but not sony pictures. and for big hollywood to go say that sony pictures e-mails should be off limits but the government should not is, to my eye, rather surprising that the -- would elevate private corporations above the government. >> but surely you recognize that the comments to use your phrase among hollywood producers and george clooney e-mails and
2:27 pm
angelina jolie being dissed sa million miles away from the edward snowden leaks, as reprehensible as that was involved secrets around the world involving the u.s. government. >> again, this is a function of a market economy. if we want to invest so much money in aaron sorkin and sara silverman and all the people sounding off in this regard -- and i love some of these people -- it doesn't mean they should be making $15 million for their crappiest picture. >> you sound a little jealous on that front. but you keep coming back to the news value. you and i can disagree on the news value. but what is to stop the hackers now, especially in light of the sony cave, from getting all the meals of the reporters of the "new york times" or of fox news or anywhere else, undoubtedly, it will be embarrassing and aren't we -- i come back to my original question. are we enabling that sort of thing if we say, well, anything, it doesn't matter how it's god
2:28 pm
and hackers, it's fair game, let's report on it. >> is it any different from the tabloidy stuff that ran in the tabloid publication of the 50s, the l.a. confidential stuff? a photograph can be just as damaging if not more so than an e-mail. the news media have been in this business for a long time. >> it's different because of how it was obtained. unsavory people get stories and stories less wrong, let's not worry about the providence. >> well, the providence is secondsary to the news value, i would say that, yeah. and i think that was shown in the case of james rosen. right? >> right. well, i did not read your e-mails and -- >> yes, you did. >> i'm glad the attorney general eric holder belatedly said it was a mistake for that to go forward in a case where you were protecting a source. thank you very much. >> thank you. ahead, new york magazine makes a huge plunder on reporting on a stock wizard. >> but first, bill cosby's unloading. will this anti-media strategy back fire?
2:31 pm
2:32 pm
>> this is a fox news alert. late breaking details on the cold flooded ambush of two new york city police officers. the family, now, of officer rafael ramos has expressed their grief. it happened minutes ago. we brought it to you live. she called if calm. and what you are watching on the screen previously happened a short time ago, the chief ever detectives wrapping up a news conference. we learned from that, the gunman told people on the streets moments before the shooting, follow him on the social media page, insurance gram. the two officers were sitting in the patrol car in brooklyn and he assassinated them. minutes later he was dead after turning the gun on himself in a subway station. hours earlier he shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend outside her baltimore home and we are getting more details of
2:33 pm
her and the entire story at fox report in 90 minutes. bill cosby has a new strategy beat up on the media the latest on cnn. >> i turn my head because...at that point i knew he had drugged me. i was gist looking at him and i asked him the question: you are an m.f., written you? >> you cursed at him. you were conscious enough to know what was happening and you confronted him. how many of you were drugged? allegedly? >> all of you. >> and this was leaked to tmz and the cosby lawyer announced the handling saying this reckless approach to "journalism," is outrage out and
2:34 pm
giving a natural platform by cnn without exercising investigation as to the claims and motivation and cnn should stop the one-sided reporting. we have david and media critic for the baltimore sun. the letter deals with beverly johnson's boyfriend did or did nature saw to cnn. what do you make of the cosby team attacking the network? >> they are using the language of libel and slander and this is the keep of letter a media institution gets prior to a lawsuit saying stop or retract and that is what this is. going to be anymore effective than the other strategies and if you read that letter carefully there are all kinds of allegations what the producers did or did not do and it sounds like they were just
2:35 pm
trying to interview a potential guest but he...they atribute things to cnn can he has no evidence of. >> cnn is using a burn back pitch. >> at the same time, whether cnn or the other news organization, fox and everyone else who has covered the story, the coverage has been one-sided because cosby won't speak and the lawyers will not come on camera so we only get sames that do not address the allegations from 25, 26, 27 women. thank you is the amazing thing. it is not one or two else as saying you are nativitying them. this keeps coming and coming and coming. it is a symptom of the fundamental problem here: the kind of posture cosby has assumed, lecturing the media he is lecturing the media and his wife is scolding the media.
2:36 pm
this is not a good strategy. >> since you brought that up, mrs. cosby put out a statement compare the coverage to the "rolling stone" rape fiasco saying he is portrayed we in the media, a man i do not know and a portrayed painted by victims and organizations who many in the media have given a pass. there is no vetting of my husband's accusers before the stows are published and accusations published and go viral. i sympathize with her but they are using her to send a message to "back off." >> totally. you cannot...the tone he has, cosby uses his lawyers to scold the press, to sell the press how to behave. it is the mistake he made when he said if you want --. >> if you had integrity you would not show this. and i am glad they did show that tape. >> and now a commentator who
2:37 pm
disagrees with cosby politically and he had this to say after the sexual assault allegations. >> very kind of map who would rape women allegedly is the same kind of man who will rape an entire black community. poor black people who are vulnerable using his powerful foot to hold them down. >> a letter from another said mr. cosby understands they do not agree, but the mean spirited rhetoric cannot go unchallenged by responsible people and journalists. >> the same language of, this is slander. it is malicious. you have an obligation to stop. the five things to know before you go is they are going to the gatekeeper. there are nine million other people that would be publishing these accusations so it is a weak strategy by people who do
2:38 pm
not understand the media world of today. >> can you not shut down this story. you know what a better strategy would be? bill cosby, come on camera and deny it. >> absolutely right. could not agree more. >> a furor over a prisoner shop. are the media taking the president's side? patented sonic technology with up to 27% more brush movements. get healthier gums in two weeks. innovation and you philips sonicare save when you give philips sonicare this holiday season. 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.

2:42 pm
it was a foreign policy bombshell. president obama announcing the u.s. will establish full diplomatic relations with cuba. after an exchange of convicted spies that included the release of american contractor allen gross. >> it is a beautiful and blustery night here in havanna where almost no one is talking about anything else other than today's diplomatic break through. >> making history, the surprise announcement by the president, the u.s. and cuba agree to normalize relations after more than half a century. op opening up the flood gates for travel and commerce. >> president obama's move starting off a political and media storm. joining us now, rick brunell and in new york julie roginski.
2:43 pm
rick, would you say the underlying tone of the coverage of story that most of us did not see coming was that this was a historic, strong, diplomatic break through? >> it was a travel story for most of these reporters. look, this was a prisoner swap. and you saw peter baker in the in, times go out of his way twice saying the white house line, which is allen gross was not traded for a prisoner swap. however, barack obama said, when he was talking to castro, that he was working out the details for allen gross. so the prisoner swap story was completely missed by all of the reporters and, actually, pushed as a positive thing. you saw tracy wilkinson in the "l.a. times" say that the prisoner swap was enormously dfl to both sides. there was really no discussion of the seriousness of a prisoner swap. >> and julie, the story of the prisoner swap, i think, soon
2:44 pm
became superseded by a story of diplomatic relations with cuba. but the subbliman message to me was, well, we do business with china, we do business with russia, and now this last relic of the cold war is vanishing and we'll do business with cuba. >> yeah. it was a historic event in the sense that we have had this relationship with cuba now since well before i was born and probably going on three generations now that we've had this antipathy towards cuba that was not in line with our relationships with their number one sponsor which is the former soviet union which we did have diplomatic relations since 1933. nixon went to china. but cuba has a sort of romantic notion in our nation's history, not just baht because of the cube bans living in miami but -- >> did that play up the notion of havanna as this lovely capital? >> it's in our hemisphere. it's an old cold war relic
2:45 pm
phrase. so, of course, the bay of pigs, the cuban missile crisis, the they're 90 miles from florida. so, of course, of course this is something that is probably much more important to us in the narrative than it would be, for example, as re-establishing relationships even not with whom we fought a war, but a war that was a very long way away from our source. >> right. rick, every story and every tv segment i saw, at least that first day, quoted or had marco rubio, emerged as the leading critic of the obama administration recognizing the castro regime. there was something that went to bob manendez who has been critical of this. you can't say the coverage has been totally one sided, can you? >> yeah, you can, howie. if you look at peter baker's story in the "new york times," he didn't say anything about human rights until the 15th paragraph. the 15th paragraph of the "l.a. times" story said the word communism for the first time. this was an approach of coverage. i don't think that political reporters are equipped to cover a foreign policy break through
2:46 pm
like this. they missed a whole bunch of facts. the embargo has been very unpopular around the world and the pope, this whole angle on the pope, the previous pope and this pope has been against the embargo for a long time. this is nothing new. but you didn't get that in the coverage. this seems like a brand new thing. >> violations it's been well documented were certainly de-emphasized. r. you know, if you look at the editorial of all these newspapers, you have the bifurcation, a strong democratic market and strong republican. so we're living in a bizarre world situation here where it doesn't align politically. you see them in the media coverage. you see them in the "new york times." the "new york times" was very much for what the president did,
2:47 pm
"the washington post," their editorial board -- >> surprise. >> "the washington post," which you would argue was part of the mainstream media opposes it. the miami herald opposes the tampa bay times and miami supports it. this is really not something you could point to and say, oh, look, the liberal and mainstream media is in steps with the president because they're not. >> that contrast was interesting. julie, rick, thanks very much for joining us this sunday. after the break, an indictment of the ebola coverage and politifact's lie of the year. whether we all went to far, a media microscope, up next.
2:51 pm
time now for our media microscope. >> we begip in dallas where there are new worries tonight. >> on our broadcast tonight, ebola death in this country. >> breaking news, a major scare in new york city tonight with a possible case of ebola. >> politifact is out with its lie of the year. hyped up claims of fear of the disease. stoked by exaggerated claims from politicians and pundits. looking back, the volume and the tone of the ebola coverage over what we now know were a handful of cases in the united states, did seem out of control. >> i think it depends on how you look at it. the way i look at it and the infectious disease experts i talked to remain concerned about this. if it gets out of control in this country, we will not be able to deal with it. >> we should not just be talking about in the past tense? >> i agree. overtime to almost nothing since they appointed the ebola czar. i don't think that is any
2:52 pm
accident, but a strategy, but still cause for concern among infectious disease specialists. i think a good argument to be made that things were made safer and the reason we don't have a worse-case scenario today as far as we know is because there was media coverage and a public outcry that changed the way the government was handling the ebola crisis and instituting new rules at airports and setting up s.w.a.t teams so what happened, the horrible thing that happened to health care workers, hopefully, would not happen again. that is a result, i believe, of the media attention. >> well, with the exception of the "new york times" which is aggressively covered the spread of this disease in africa, you were right. it went from a million to zero and i don't think it's so much that ron klain was appointed the white house ebola czar but seems to be a story for those of us here when americans were no longer infected and that troubles me. >> i think there is some to wha also think just having the experience and looking at how
2:53 pm
media coverage is feared, i would say once the ebola czar came in, they quit putting out the head of the cdc. no more interviews. >> every channel, every day. >> someone decided, i think, when we give information, they cover it. if we don't give information, it will fall off the stage. i called cdc and i said how many cases are being monitored in the united states. 1,400. i said where are these updates on your website? they said, they're not putting it on the web. this is public information we have a right to know and the media should not hype it, but should cover it. >> you may be right that the president helps shape the agenda and top officials will be made available and i also think if there was still any nurses who potentially had it and they were fighting with their governors overe quarantine rules, we will see more outbreaks. >> more of what we had a couple

what if one push up couldcoli cprevent heart disease?cancer? one. wishful thinking, right? but there is one step you can take to help prevent another serious disease- pneumococcal pneumonia. one dose of the prevnar 13 ® vaccine can help protect you ... from pneumococcal pneumonia, an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. prevnar 13 is used in adults 50 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13 if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. common side effects were pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site. limited arm movement, fatigue, head ache muscle or joint pain, less appetite, chills, or rash. even if you've already been vaccinated with another pneumonia vaccine, prevnar 13 ® may help provide additional protection.

the gigantic media new york magazine fall for this one. high school student made millions picking stocks the headline said. the rumor, said the magazine, was $72 million and it seemed legit. the piece said that mohammad confirmed his networth as being in the high eight figures. more like zero. the kid confessed that he made the whole thing up. reporter jessica pressler initially defended the article but "new york" magazine apologized. we were duped. our fact checking progress was
2:58 pm
inadequate and we take full responsibility and we should have known better. you think? a teenager, 72 million bucks. a big black eye for the mag zaen. cheryl, how does something like this get published? >> some unthinkable lack of basic journalism. >> not a giant red flashing light, you better check this out. time now for your top tweets on sony pulling its movie and being ripped by all these hollywood stars. when hollywood stars begin to show the tiniest political and moral guts, their positions on this will be relevant. shirley putroen, these people should be part of the washington, d.c., politics scene. they're good at lying, about everything. thomas gordon, kim jung-iun should be happy. but steven colbert said we didn't miss the magnitude of the milestone. >> because i am a transformational historical figure, that is, i have been on tv.
2:59 pm
many of the thinkaroty out there are asking what my legacy is. i had a huge impact. >> huge. whatever, it's been fun to tangle with him. well, colbert sustains his pompous, right-wing character for nine long years. but as david letterman successor, he'll face a different challenge, being himself for one thing, but vast swath of middle america. middle america including conservatives who have been turned off by all the mockery of the anchor character. that's it for this edition of "media buzz" i'm howard kurtz. we're going to miss playing the colbert clips. we still have you on stewart, i suppose. we hope you like our facebook page. we posts a lot of original content there and video and response to your e-mail questions. check us out on twitter, as well. and hour home page where you can follow our columns.
