11:00 a.m.. on buzz >> on "buzz beater," brian williams suspending himself taking a lead from nbc nightly news after being forced to retract this false story about being on an army helicopter that was hit by enemy fire in iraq. >> two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire including the one i was in. rpg and ak-47. >> the nbc anchor saying he is sorry after veterans knock down the account. >> i want to apologize i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire and i was, instead, in a following aircraft. >> what was mounting question with the apology other stories and now the leave of absence,

can the faith of nbc survive this credibility crisis? national furor over vaccinating kids as the many stream media scolds candidates that suggesting the parents should have a choice. >> this is the pandering that is dangerous because rand paul is a doctor, i don't know where he is getting that data from. >> i don't thing we should be engaging people in this paranoia. that is what you are. you myself-no people. you non-vaxxers. >> is it fair for the press to tie the antivaccination movement to conservatives? rand paul rips an anchor during a contentious interview. >> part of the problem is you end up having interviews like this where the interview is so slanted and full of distortions that you do not get useful information. >> was the senator treated unfairly or did he overreact? we will go to the video tape in our new segment "media buzz

saw." this is "media buzz," and i am howard kurtz. >> brian williams told his staff yesterday it is painfully apparent he is too much part of the news because of his own actions but he will return to nightly news after several days of leave, this dramatic development rooted in the invasion of iraq when williams was on an army him corporate grounded by a sandstorm and he recounted what happened to another chopper. >> on the ground we learned the chinook ahead of us was almost blown out of the sky. >> by his story kept changing and by 2013 the anchor told this version to david letterman. >> two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire including the one i was n. >> what happens when everyone

realizes you were hit? >> we figure how to land safely and we did we landed quickly and hard and we put down and we were stuck. >> did you think you would die? >> briefly. sure. >> last week he repeated the false account in a ceremony honoring a piece that aids on nbc. >> it started with a terrible moment, a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. our traveling nbc news team was rescued, surrounded and kept alibby an armored recognized platoon from the united states army. >> army veterans on the mission told the stars and stripes newspaper he was not on the chinook that was lit and this week he agencied the story was simply untrue. >> i made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago. it did not take long to hear from some brave men and women and the air crews who were also in that desert. i want to apologize.

i said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire and i was instead, in a following aircraft. >> veterans were just fuming who spoke to "stars and stripes." >> the guys who were there, what do they think is going on, think he has been doing with this story? >> they think that he wanted the glory, he wants to share in glory of this war story. >> even the apology is sparking new questions and we have former united states news reporter and author of "stand walled." and television and media critic for the ""baltimore sun"." and media reporter for the "washington post" and now a moment to update you on exclusionive details i reported last night. brian williams extend aside voluntarily, he was not pushed or prodded to do this by the nbc brass. there is no internal investigation into the matter it is a fact-gathering inquiry to answer questions and there

will not be any report on his conduct. he is considering an invitation to go on the david letterman show on thursday to discuss this further. you have had a last experience flying on military aircraft. what is the magnitude of brian williams mistake about iraq? >> a large mistake because unless you have been on so many missions and shot at so many times maybe you have confused which mission on which you were shot and which you weren't you know. what strikes me as even larger glaring thing is a lot of people know. the people with you know you were not shot at. your family members know, the crew knows and the network where you worked knows you were not shot at. as he told the story there were a lot of people around him who knew it was not the case for quite a while. >> and he already told america that it was another chopper was that hit in 2003.

what should nbc do faced with this crisis? >> you know, (a), i don't know -- none of us know. >> what do you think should happen? he should no longer be managing editor and anchor of 9 lead newscast and i wrote this on wednesday if they care about credibility. this is a serious serious -- why would you trust anything this man says? it isn't just that he lied it is the kind of lie he told. there are so many people in this country who are either part of military family or served in the military who live every day with the wounds and the scars of those battles. shear a rich anchorman who is over there for a little time and he tries to steal some of the honor they earned. how in the world could anybody in the military or military family not look at him on television and have contempt for this man? i think they should do it. will they do it? this is a test of nbc's moral

character. >> by the way i give credit for going to iraq and putting his life at risk which makes it all the more inexplicable why he felt the need to embellish the story. and the nbc news president is showing a statement about brian williams' apology but in word of support, not exactly standing by herman. in your dealings, you have covered this, how is nbc handle this? >> trying to get beyond it if they can. the real question is, can they get beyond it in the lack of a statement of support for brian williams is striking in itself. brian williams apparently did not want a particular statement of support because in the case of david gregory they supported him on "meet the press," and look what happened to him. they do not want this kiss of death. >> a source said it would be the kiss of death but people are asking why nbc...it was not until friday that any statement

was put out and i find that odd given the magnitude of the problem. now, you covered for cbs the story of hillary clinton during 2008 campaign she was recounting what happened when she landed in bosnia back in 1997 or 1996. >> that is senator clinton talking to me on the military flight and these were the pictures of the greeting sent mother when the plane landed compared to her account. >> i remember landing under sniper fire. >> hillary clinton said she landed under sniper fire and you were on the truck and had the video and there was no sniper fire. is there any similarities? >> strange similarities not the least of which is 12 years after the fangs in both cases just a coincidence of time. also when hillary clinton's misstatement was exposed she doubled down rather than

apologizing she said, yes i shook hands with the little girl and then i ran and ducked and ran if cover so we did a second story that showed, no, she posed for pictures with 7th grader and visited the troops. that is like the brian williams story and is unexplained. does she convince herself that it happened? were there people around her such as her daughter who was on the trip saying, mom, we were not shot at. a celebrity sheryl crow and sinbad were on the trip. want she afraid other people would be able to say we were not shot at? >> the question everyone is asking because it is a story that everyone is talking about at the grocery store and the water cooler, it is sufficiently a self inflicted wound why would he feel the need do this? he was to iraq, why would he feel the need? >> the one thing i have avoided steadfastly is try and analyze and figure what is going on in brain williams ahead.

>> we cannot answer it. >> we cannot answer it. if you look at his career since he took the anchor seat of branding himself, of promoting himself -- and that is part of the industry today. here is where i think the sin of this is. he never took the journalism part of the job when he became anchor and managinged store as seriously as the celebrity portion. >> i don't think that is fair. >> wait. he guest hosted "saturday night live," and uses his sense a humor to be more than reading off the prompter anchor but he also has traveled around the world and when you say he did not take the journalism part seriously what did you base it on? >> they gave him a rhyme time network magazine show he showcased chelsea clinton as a special correspondent at $600,000 a segment. that is behalf i mean. >> this is not ultimately about

journalism but about the promotion of journalism. it is about what brain williams has said in many years since he reported this story and there is not a question around what he reported but the way he is characterized it since. part of his charm is that he gets on the shows and he sells his charm, he sells himself. that is why he is the number one anchor in part. the question now, did he go too far in doing that? >> he has nine million viewers for nbc news. >> you made a point and i want to put up video from the airing of the news at the ceremony of new york rangers hockey game about the way it was edited. look at this. ed. so take a look at that. >> it to s >> it appears to she him on the chinook the way they road it and it appears to show him leaving at the rpg injury to the chinook

as if he were on it and what i was saying, whoever looked at the video, producers and editors and so on, at some point, i would think would know that he was not on that chinook. my question is, who did know this? were they forced to cut the video if a way that support add story they knew not to be true? were there come complaints internally? >> the problem with the apology, williams said he was in a following aircraft and it sounds like he was 20' behind the chopper that was hit but it was a different helicopter company that passed this other group of those fires on and going in a different direction. briefly it seemed when cnn reported based on an interview with the guy who said he was the pilot of williams' chopper there was small arms fire and people said maybe he only exaggerate add bit. here is a clip of a pilot on cnn. >> did the helicopter you were in that brian williams was in,

did it take rpg fire? any small arms fire? >> we were a flight of three and i was on the second aircraft and mr. williams was on my aircraft and we took small arms fire. >> krell has retracted that and was not the pilot on that chopper. >> cnn should have been more careful. when "stars and stripes," reported the story they had a wall of people who were there talking about it. all of a sudden, on wednesday or thursday, one guy comes out and is going to contradict everything. you really have to vet it it is a discipline and verification they did did not do that and the next day he recaned and said he didn't want to talk about it and disaperred. cnn had to go on and they called it a "revision." it was retraction. >> a problem for brian williams

right now, headlines called him "liin' brian," and the pinocchio nose-growing, sorted of a cultural story and a story that everyone is making fun of which is not a comfortable place for an anchor. >> send me a tweet and we will read near messages later. when we come back more on the saga. brian williams saga with new questions being raised about his hurricane katrina reporting. is this just piling on? and later a look at the coverage of the vaccination uproar and whether some politicians are being treated unfairly.

on hurricane katrina. >> when you look out of your hotel room and watch a man float by face down when you see bodies that you last saw in indonesia and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country. >> the new orleans advocate says it doesn't believe williams saw floating bodies. but yesterday a respected newspaper saying there was water there and a couple people had seen dead bodies. is this now piling on? >> that's what is really going to be tough i think for williams and nbc is everybody will go over every inch of this and it will be fact checked that way. i thought on this one i thought, well, when i first heard it i thought either you can find

out -- there is a fact. either there was water there or not, let's find it out before publishing it. so i think in some case there is is a tendency to do that. >> i went to new orleans with brey an brian williams some months after katrina and he showed me where he saw the first body. he was very emotionally invested in this story. went back to new orleans eight or nine times. so this didn't ring true to me. >> the floating body story is the least questionable element of what he has said about his katrina coverage. he said that gangs were overrunning his hotel. no the hotel was a staging area for law enforcement. very, very unlikely that there were gangs overrunning that hotel. there were other claims, as well. and all of them add up to a record, not a piling organization but a record that needs to be examined. >> now we've reached the point where some media outlets said because brian is famously a new

jersey volunteer fireman at one time he said he saved a pup if i from a fire, puppies from a fire. so it comes back to the question of the anchor credibility, and what nbc news -- how it deals with it. >> maybe the biggest problem is not just the examination of what he's said in the past, but how he moves forward. what sort of things can he cover now. let's say there is another military conflict. there will be lingering questions. >> just briefly, he has ten year career, some people like brian williams some people think he leans to the left. but is that career just sort of wiped out by the one egregious terrible mistake? >> i don't know that it's wiped out. he's actually been a very good reporter over the years. the question is his credibility so damaged that you can't watch brian williams deliver the news and believe what he's saying.

that's what anchor men sell. does he still have it. >> and if he loses a piece of thatted that audience that's a big big. but if he's two or three instead of one, that's another thing sflp we'll have to go. thanks for joining us. ahead with the isis butchers putting out that video of burning a jordanian pilot to death, how should the media handle those horrifying images some but up next president obama causes a furor by bringing christianity into a discussion of isis but some media outlets gont think that's news. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping.

president obama made some very controversial remarks at a white house prayer breakfast this week, but the coverage has been remarkably spotty. here's what the president said.

>> we see isil, brutal that in the name of religious uncarries out unspeakable acts of barbarism. unless we got on our high horse and position thatthink this is unique remember during the crusade, people committed terrible deeds in the name of christ. >> joining us now nina easton, jim geraghty, and mara liasson. jim, the president makes these very controversial marks. the cameras are rolling. newscasts devoted zero minutes. >> because these are embarrassing remarks. we're all watching isis setting a guy on fire and then at the national prayer breakfast, he thinks highest priority is high horse of american christians. most krichristians are saying why

are you giving me grief in? because the fact president obama chose to -- >> are you suggesting that because this was embarrassing for the president, some found it offensive, that's the reason it didn't make air? in strange >> strangely enough, people are much more interested in the gaffes of their opponents than the ones they like. >> at the very least, how far you view these remarks, isn't it a story in? >> i think it's a story. there might have been a lot going on this week, but it is a story. it is true the ku klux klan burned crosses. he's factually correct. but there has been so much coverage of the president's unwillingness to call isis cad

radical islamists. and i thought it was interesting that he called them a vicious death cult. he's tiptoeing his way to strike them that they have an ideology, they're not just criminals. >> so vicious deltath cult, the crewusades crusades. again, isn't it worth covering? >> it wasn't just offensive. the "new york times" seems to think that it was just a bunch of christians on the right who were are offended by it. because it's a broader story here. it's a question of whether the president is down playing the terrorist threat and it's a question of whether he is trying to dws connect the word islam from the word terror. and actually the "washington post" did a good job of pointing out how he -- in a story about the prayer breakfast, how he is trying to do that. and he's recently said this is a

perversion of islam. the other thing about the press coverage it didn't challenge the president. what christian's role in the civil rights movement, martin luther king, there was no push back on that from print papers that actually covered it. >> when you don't cover it at all, you don't get any analysis or context which is why i ifind this puzzling. coming up, a huge flap over some saying childhood vaccinations should be voluntary. but is this a problem for conservatives? and rand paul denounce as cnbc anchor for loaded questions. was the interview fair. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40 $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪ ♪

the question of vaccinations is suddenly ineffecting the presidential campaign. "new york times" calls the controversy, quote, a twist on an old problem for the republican party. how to approach matters that are largely settled among

scientists,. that drew a rebuke from matt lauer. >> becomes a hot potato. liberal "new york times" puts this way and let's make it clear, this does not break down completely between the right and the left. >> everybody wants to paint this as a right wing thing. it's not. >> still, there was strong criticism across the media over interviews with two likely 20167 contenders, chris christie and rand paul. >> i also understand that parents need to have some measure of choice in things, as well. >> i've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. i'm not arguing vaccines are a bad idea. i think they're a good thing. but i think the parents should have some input. the state own your children. >> is the "new york times" justified in saying this is a political problem mainly for conservatives who don't like science? >> so outrageous. what it is the anti-vaccine

movement grew out of the liberal community, not from the right. and in fact there have been maps done showing where anti-vaccine movement has taken hold are liberal bastions. so that's outrageous. second of all, in terms of the campaign and the presidential politics, it's a gotcha cycle now. if you're running for president, you've got to be prepared and you've got to know what you're going to say. to me the winner this week was hillary clinton. what she does is she stays out of the news on controversial things like that until she can control it. so she controlled it with a tweet which is what other candidates should be saying which is saying it's not good is like saying the sky isn't blue. so i think a candidate's answer should have talked about the research that shows there is no connection between say autism and vaccines. >> and the media has a responsibility to say there is no connection. i know a minority feel

passionately otherwise. and some conservative parents and shallome liberal parents have not been vaccinating their kids. >> this is a cynical tone to the coverage. there is wide agreement that should you have your kids vaccinated. where there is serious does his agreement, if a participantsent says no should the government take them, force your child to be vaccinated? how about the am might beish some come we say we'll take your kids away? >> or say you have to home school. rand paul said he wasn't endorsing the view. is that a legitimate controversy for the press? >> yes. he's a medical doctor. the one study that said there

was a tie between autism and vaccinations was retracted and withdrawn in 2010. i think it's definitely legitimate. job is saying they will take their kids and forcibly vaccinate them. they are saying if you want on go to school in a public school where there are other kids that might have die pressed immune systems, they could be at arriving. but what i thought this whole thing showed was the state of play in the republican 2016 race. the two guys having problems, paul christie, couldn't get their act together. the two way tos having a great moment, scott walk jeb bush, were concise, yes, vaccinate, period, over and out.tos having a great moment, scott walk, jeb bush, were concise, yes, vaccinate, period, over and out. >> here is how rand paul handled it. he went for a vaccination shot. he took a "new york times" reporter with him to the very interesting media technique, but then, nina the senior editor at the daily beast justin miller, tweeted fu senator rand paul and

he didn't use the initials, he didn't responsible to our request to come on. he did apologize for the insult. what the -- >> i think rand paul is in a difficult position to try walk back what he said. >> what does that say about the senior editor at a news organization -- >> that's outrageous. >> at lo lot of allegedly mainstream journalists fing hate republicans. they hate rabd paul and the entire field and they believe there is utter contempt for them their voters and the whole base. twitter like alcohol doesn't change you, it only reveals you. >> especially if you're using alcohol while you're on it. i thought that was reprehensible reprehensible. i wanted to ten talking about brian williams. what do you think about the magnitude of the mistake brian williams has now apologized for and the way nbc is handling it.

>> the way nbc is handling it suggests that there could be more. they are taking him off they are are's investigating. >> they didn't take him off. >> he voluntarily stepped aside.are's investigating. >> they didn't take him off. >> he voluntarily stepped aside. but the network was warned about this a year ago. >> i haven't seen that confirmed. do you think nbc is being cautious? >> i think they're being cautious because sometimes when there is that kind of behavior could there be that kind of behavior in other incidents and then it becomes a big explosion. >> iish he from ishish ishwish he said i screwed up, i'm taking annen paid leave of absence to get my stuff together and realize what i've done wrong. that initial well, i'll sorry i mixed up which helicopter i was on, doesn't even come close to fixing it.sorry i mixed up which helicopter i was on, doesn't even come close to fixing it. the old saying the coverup is worse than the crime.

that measly mea culpa doesn't did justice to what he did. >> five years ago i would have said he can't survive this. but so many has changed in the news environment and answers are more media celebrities than they are journalists that i really think many he has a chance if they find nothing else like this. >> but hasn't so much also changed in terms of social media where he's getting battered on twitter? >> that's a really problem for him, but he's a very important part of the nbc franchise. they will have to make a decision if that's so undercut his credibility then he can't continue. >> i was on with bill o'reilly and and he said people don't karks it was care, it was a flap. he wasn't justifying it. brian williams understands he crewed up. it's hard to see somebody go through this whether you like him or don't. but this is a self-inflicted crisis. >> and i think if it's limited

to this it could blow over. our attention spans are on short. but if it goes beyond that he's in trouble. >> it's a really terrible time for nbc news to be running pro knows with michael douglas saying there are some things you never forget. >> all right. thanks very much for stopping by. ahead, what shoot media do when isis terrorists put out a video of burning a man to death? is there a compelling reason to show it? and later the press lets the president get away with a flaw as he serves beer to savannah guthrie. janet? cough if you can hear me. don't even think about it. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...but what about mike?

most news organizations are refusing to carry the barbaric isis video of the terrorists burning a jordanian eyepilot to death. >> cnn has chosen not to knowshow these images. they are cruel and they are of high propaganda value to isis members and not something that the united states nor broadcasters have any interest in helping to propagate. >> this time a whole new level of brutality. >> but a few papers have published a fiery image. fox news has also put still

images on the air. and bret baier explained why. >> the imamges are brutal, you may want to turn away you may want to have the children leave the room. right now. but the reason we're showing you this is to bring you the reality of islamic terrorism and to label it as such. we feel you need to see it. >> sharyl attkisson this is a very difficult decision for news organizations. >> i think both sides make important points and i'm glad i'm not in the position of having to make that decision. i do think people can go seek out the video let's say news organizations decide that it's too distasteful to show it. i understand that argument. but it can be found in other places and maybe that's where it should stay where people can seek it out if they choose to see it on the internet. on the other hand, i do agree that with some people who argue if the american public isn't to some degree exposed to the level of brutality of these terrorist

acts, how are they going to make judgments. >> right, showing the evil that is isis and that's why it's such a close call because there are strong arguments on both sides. foxnews.com and the blaze have turned controversy by putting the full burning video as very carefully produced by isis online in the case of fox executive vice president john moody says wanted to give the readers the option for themselves the brutality. and i'm a little more sympathetic to that because people can now choose to click or not click on those videos. >> that's probably the way to do it if you had to make a choice. let people voluntarily seek it out in a controlled environment if they choose to, but don't force them to run across it if they happen to be just watching television. >> you might just be walking by and suddenly it pops up. the beheading images as well, how much do you show of it and

are you doing what isis wants. let's go back to our lead story on brian williams. a lot of people have been responding online saying it doesn't really matter whether he's in that chair or not because anchors are basically news readers. but he also has an important title of managing editor. >> this may be one reason to take a look at this trend in which the network even news anchors are also given the tilgtdtitle of managing editor. does that mean in cases where there are controversies that they are separated from sort of an independent look or i said view point of somebody who could say should you be doing this.said view point of somebody who could say should you be doing this. times they're sur roup rounded by yes people who won't tell them the hard truths because they in essence in charge of the show, in charge of the personnel. who wants to tell emperor that he's wear nothing clothes.

>> titles aside you have an anchor like brian williams making more than $10 million a year who is the franchise. people say it about the president, too, being surrounded by people telling you how great you are. so even the business about nbc not conducting an internal investigation, but a lot of people might say why not have an outside ombudsman or investigator look into this and it comes back to what you're saying. you have the guy who is the an authorize, the managing editor, the celebrity, are you on the payroll, it's hard to take that person onan authorize, the managing editor, the celebrity, are you on the payroll, it's hard to take that person on . >> and people are laying on on to whether that person survives. and if that person controversy, those under him don't want to be on the wrong side and punished for that later. i agree about the independent look. perhaps if i were in charge i would think of bringing somebody in like the pointer institute or

ask a news organization to come in and help. but then you are stuck. you've invited and outsider to come in and look at your organization. and if they find things embarrassing or damaging there's not much you can do about it. >> i would say too bad. at least you're showing that you'll be open that you're letting somebody who has an independent judgment investigate and let the chips fall where they may. people forget after dan rather in 2004 and the retraction of the story about president bush and the national guard, it was some months until he lost his job, but cbs wroughtbrought in two outside people. >> they did, somewhat belatedly. >> thanks very much. after the break we'll unveil a new segment called media buzz saw. starting with a contentious sitdown with rand paul on cnbc. moderate to severe crohn's disease is tough but i've managed. except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing.
