2:01 pm
about islam. >> and holder hitting back about a cable network. >> what did you do about it? really? if fox did not talk about this necessity would have nothing else to talk about. >> is holder just blaming the messenger? >> ask giuliani would heard saying that president obama doesn't love this country and be pressed by megyn kelly. >> mr. mayor, do you want to apologize? >> not at all i want to repeat it. >> is the press being fair to the former mayor? this is "media buzz." >> bill o'reilly hit back hard against the mother jones piece on the piece about david corn writing in "mother jones," suggest that he was in the falkland islands covering the
2:02 pm
1982 war between britain and argentina. >> basically, david corn, a liar, says i exaggerated situations in the falkland war and the salvadoran war. he says he has made clear that as a cbs correspond he covered a vie lint protest in argentina in the wars' aftermath. >> i was in the street with my camera crews, the violence was horrific, the soldiers fired into the crowd and responded with violence. my video of combat led the cbs evening news with dan rather. i never said i was on the falkland islands as corn purports. i said i covered the falkland war, which i did. >> david corn responds to "the huffington post." >> bill o'reilly in the aftermath of the article yesterday gets throughout and calls me ally arrest and says that he didn't say what he said and he accusing me of peddling
2:03 pm
garage and not really responding to the issue. >> and joining me by the phone is bill o'reilly. now, the latest developments of a reporter in argentina taking you on in a facebook posting calls you a bloviator and he says that o'reilly has been correct in describing the situation in argentina as "someone dicey," for reporters but then he says it was a pretty tame riot. >> it might have been tame for him because cuomo if he was there, i asked him to come on the program, but he turns us down. he is running over to cnn but he cannot come to my program. eric was there, and, by the way, all of the cbs correspondents that were there were search to cover the folk lands war, that is what we were told to cover 9
2:04 pm
falklands war so everyone hud know that, the description of what our job was to be. so the reporter is calling the riot that happens after argentina surrenders "relatively tame." and this is written by richard mislearned in 1982 and i quote "police officer firing tear gas dispersed thousands angry that condemned the government surrendering to the british and the crowd shouted at the government's the speech reflecting sorrow, and anger and disbelief over the loss, police in riot gear moved in, firing tee gas canisters and roaring through the plaza own motorcycles, hundreds led to the side street shouting obscenities as the police fired gas, and others ripped down wooden street signs and set them afire and fires afired in intersection as
2:05 pm
demonstrators set them then aplace to slow the police. a large van pulled into an intersection and blocked the plaza and police emerged and seized anyone and one fired five shots and pulled a pistol. the leaders of the ten political parties denounced the police as brew dallas repressors and a violation of public faith of several demonstrators reported they were injured along with two reporters as least, and local agencies say three buses were set ablaze and another fire upon, the demonstration of national outrage was seldom seen since the military took power in 1976." that is "new york times" reporting. >> but the reporter said he is suspicious that there was it will gunfire. await, wait, wait wait wait. he is suspicious of "new york times" then. okay? not me. he is suspicious of "new york times" then. they reported that. >> you have said in describing
2:06 pm
this episode that your photographer was run down, hit in 9 head, he was pleading and the army was chasing you. >> i don't thing he was this. i don't think he knows what happened. i will tell you why i left the hotel and the reporter was still in the hotel. i came back, running back with video for the broadcast on the rather show and the reporter was in the he tell. if he were in the plaza, from was the video and why did i have to money it up so on know if he was even there and i would like everyone to ask him were you there? >> okay. >> because his name name was "room service eric," and he never left the hotel. >> one more point from the facebook posting, he says you violated orders by having your camera turn on the light to slot foot average that was used by cbs. >> totally absurd. i was there in the daytime.
2:07 pm
no order was given about anything. we turn on a light one time so i could do a stand up with people falling all over automatic around me on a side street. it lasted for about 30 seconds. i didn't have an order. i was working. i was working this whole situation. this is such a smear it is unbelievable. i want to uruguay on june 13, to the capital of uruguay and i covered the casualties coming back from the ship destroyed by the argentine air force and i didn't see eric there. >> do you movie the criticism great your former colleague is personal? >> yes because in 1998 i laced him for big footing. tell the audience what that is. >> when a journalist such as yourself, you were not then the bill o'reilly of fox and a
2:08 pm
better known journalist comes in and does either writes the arm, does the stand up in your case and you complained about which in a book, born schaefer came in and you left cbs after that. >> this has been in play since 1998. now, you are a newspaper reporter in the past. >> correct. >> if you write an article and send it and another reporter puts their name on the arm, what is that called? it begins with a "p." >> i call it big footing. >> in print what is it called? >> i let you tell me. play -- plagerism. >> robert oh got hurt and we
2:09 pm
tended to him and we tended to him and he is a tough guy. i went back and subsequently he was okay but he was knocked down we what to get him out so he did not get more damage. they did a fabulous job. this is such a smear. it is a coordinated smear. do you know that he was written by a reporter in a book "bias," as one of the worst correspondents on cbs and before any goes into how he smeared steve forbes? >> i have read the book. bernie is part of your program. >> he now is a fox news contributor. >> he wrote that book before he was on for fox bernie did. >> i understand. after he left cbs. now to the bottom line, it seems in my analysis that the mother
2:10 pm
jones piece, comes doubt this question, you say you covered a combat situation in arm establish during the falkland war and said the war zones of the falkland conflict in argentina, do you wish you worked it differently? >> when you have soldiers and military police firing into the crowd as "new york times" report and you have people injured and you are in the middle of that, that is a definition, all right? this is splitting hairs trying anything they can to bring down me because of the brian williams situation. that is what it is. i hammered brian williams. is that true how war? >> i know it is not true. >> know it was not true.
2:11 pm
everyone who saw me on kimmel knows it isn't true. so why this david corn has any credibility at all? why? >> you are saying --. >> why does he have any credibility, anywhere, if he lied in his article about something like that, why would anyone, anyone else, take anything else he says seriously? why? >> corn has been a washington reporter for a long-term and some people respect his work? >> who? name one? >> you can't. high is a hatchet man. you know he is. he is from the far left and all of this is driven at cnn and do you not go more far left than this guy. former "new york times" and google him, just final word howard, these guys want to come after me i'm here. anyone who says my recording in
2:12 pm
argentina was erroneous come on teach tonight. i have called into dan rather, into all of the cbs brass 59 the time and i will get the video, i think cbs will get it for us tomorrow. i want everyone to read "new york times" article, it is up. you can get it. >> got to get to a break, golden gate bridge away. more on the controversy as we get reaction. and scott walker complains about gotcha journalism on whether president obama is a christian.

bill o'reilly is still on the phone. inin n is bill o'reilly is still on the phone and we are joined with critic from "bought more sun." you heard bill o'reilly defend himself and your thoughts? >> well, look, the room service eric, this is a fierce battle now. this is skullture war going back-and-forth. that was one of the questions, one of the things that made me hesitant when the story first came out on thursday, the source. it was mother jones and the most prominent person on fox tv so immediately you had this ideological component. that made me weary of it. that is why this is not the brian williams story. you did not have that with brian williams. "stars and stripes." >> good point. david corn used to contribute at follow and he was not renewed.
2:17 pm
a liberal journalist who obtained the mitt romney 47 percent video during the last campaign but the headline was "bill o'reilly has his own brian williams problem." that was the tone of the piece, in your view was that fair? >> two things. i understand the impulse in the clutter of media to try to simplify a story and because brian williams was a big story trying to link them. i don't think it was warranted in this sense. another way it is not warranted. brian williams was in charge of a nightly newscast soon by nine million. as managing editor he decided what went into that newscast. that is a position of journalism and responsibility. bill o'reilly is the most popular person on cable news tv but a nighttime show that has a very different agenda and no one in cable tv says these are
2:18 pm
journalistic entities. that is a difference. >> do you agree, bill this has turned into a culture war? >> from the beginning i said this was a political hit piece. what i want to make very clear as a reporter for the "baltimore sun," what you wrote last night about eric you want to hear more right, david? is that right david? so i want to hear more, too. >> what i want to do is be able to talk to him. i want to ask him quotes. here is what i ask were you there in the plaza? i didn't see him. as i told howard, when i left the hotel he was in the hotel, he was in the hotel. when i got back, he was in the hotel. and no video until i showed up. so if you were there, what the hell were you doing. and you ask him about big
2:19 pm
footing and he stayed in the hodel and the corporates would want out and were at risk had to come back and he took all their video and put his name on it. that is plagiarism. they did that crap all the time. a final thing, david: anyone challenging my reporting down there, have them come on. how comer risk is not on? how come? how come? he is on cnn. why not come up against me. >> let me jump up, david cnn is doing a lot and msnbc have not touched it and the broadcast networks have not touched it. is this getting traction or is it because it comes down to there being no dispute bill o'reilly was in argentina and it fades? >> if you asked me this on friday night i would say it was down trending and not getting traction. i have been trying to find it open twitter, it only trended for a brief moment and that is when it was announced bill o'reilly would take it on.
2:20 pm
now, with the back-and-forth it does. this is 33 years ago. these are big names involved now and they are questioning each other's memories. look, bill o'reilly's strategy is pure bill o'reilly. but it is going -- and i think they will be study this in strategic communication and p.r. cases. >> in the last half minute do you think by responding so aggressively. >> absolutely. they are trying to ruin my career and smear me and immune my career. no one will do that. if anyone contradict was i have said about my past, come on my program and look me in the eye. eric is a coward, okay? a coward. he can come on and say, bill, this didn't happen, i was there i saw this. i want david, and you, howard, to call him and ask and he was
2:21 pm
there? was he there? if he was, why did he have no video? >> i welcome the chance to talk toism. >> i know you have to run. we are trying to get rather, and the president of conclusion news at the time, and we will have the video. they are saying we will have it, the video i shot my guys shot, we should have it all tomorrow on "the factor." >> clearly the story is not over. thanks for calling in, bill o'reilly. >> we will look at whether the net works gave both sides of the debate in the coverage of the legal set back on the immigration order. >> and james rosen weighs in and root causes behind isis. e.e.e.e.e.e.

2:25 pm
expect about bill o'reilly. marie harf touched off a fewer or the other day when chris matthews asked her about isis.or the other day when chris matthews asked her about isis. >> how do we win, are we killing you have? >> we cannot kill our way out of this war. >> har of later said her comments may have been too nuanced for her critics. she works in tandem with jen psaki. i sat down earlier with james rosen fox's chief washington correspondent. >> welcome. >> thank you. >> with jen psaki taking over the white house communications, how are her relationships with reporters? >> i think by and large pretty good among the press corps oig i think she's well cared. she and marie are har of knew their brief. i of course as a fox news reporter wasn't getting the authorized leaks that some other reporters might have. >> it's in secret fox news is
2:26 pm
not the most popular outlet in the administration. so when you dealt with them any particular edge or blow back? >> no i think we got along pretty well given all circumstances. >> any area in which you fault them, with bill o'reilly, for example? >> sure there was that time when jen and maria ascribed sexism to bill o'reilly. i didn't think there was any basis for it. i think so some occasions giving a thumbs up while smiling about fairly serious matters might not have been well advised, but i think they command the respect of the press corps. >> the comments on we can't win the war militarily, some pundits saying this is jobs for a jihadists, your take. >> i think that this all mostly emanates from marie's interview with chris matthews. and thing chris matthews led the charge in taking the remarks outof
2:27 pm
context. i think marie's point was eminently sensible which is you have this cohort of 100 million people in the middle east under the age of 30. and the question sensibly put is what is going to take up the days of those people. is it economic opportunity or something else. obviously it's a long term effort. >> she makes the point that george w. bush, colin powell at various points, have talked about poverty as a tool in combatting terrorism or why people become terrorists. why has it been so explosive? >> well, we live in a different age with social media. apfrably, it won't please my twitter followers to hear me say it, but i've been dismayed by the treatment of marie and jen on twitter and other social media. they are routinely not only vilified, but derided and mocked and intimately personal ways
2:28 pm
that i think bespeak a certain amount of sexism. >> you do think those attacks when they get very personal are sexist? >> i don't think the same kind of attacks would have been directed at male press sects in previous eras or this era. we didn't see ari fleischer photo shopped looking like he's serving french fries at the mall or people referring to them as valley girls and so tort. i don't think it's warranted. >> let's get specific because i've been reading pieces in this national review for example. one article comparing marie harf and jen psaki to you lucy and ethyl. and another piece said marie harf is a misfit. and jen psaki is pippy long stocking. and rude dwi giuliani the other day. >> when you listen to her, i swear to god, you think you're listening to a saturday night live oig parody of a person who should be a press secretary. >> what do you make of that personal mockery?
2:29 pm
>> again, i think it's not well placed. i think these are two professionals. marie has experience at cia. jen psaki didn't exactly have the typical brief to do state department spokesman job, they didn't have experience in foreign policy, but she'd been around high level political players. and why are we comparing her to pippy longstocking is this because there is a commonalty of red hair? that's the only reason i would sigh for that being done. and i don't think it speaks well of kevin williamson who i otherwise respect.and i don't think it speaks well of kevin williamson who i otherwise respect. >> back to the comments about isis. she repeat this haded this on cnn. she said maybe what she was saying is too nuanced for her critics. >> anything that i do wrong and that you criticize must be a reflection of how newuanced i am.
2:30 pm
>> and you're not. >> right. but she was into tough sledding this week. it will be interesting to see what role is accorded her by the state department, by the boomm administration. >> and trying his best to provoke these people into making news, not the always succeeding. thanks very much. >> thank you, howie.the always succeeding. thanks very much. >> thank you, howie. tweets about o'reilly still pouring in. ahead, eric holder take as swipe at fox in depending the administration's refusal to talk about islamic terrorist. and after the break, rudy giuliani doing damage control on tv after questioning the president's love of america. did the media blitz make things worse. ♪ ♪ the nissan rogue, with

2:34 pm
politico quoted him as saying i do got believe the president loves america. at first he seemed to be trying to walk it back. >> what do you mean by that? >> first of all, i'm not questioning his patrioty the pay the yochl patriotism. i don't know. i'm not a psychiatrist and he doesn't have one and he doesn't need one. >> but then when confronted by megyn kelly, giuliani doubled down. >> do you want to pollapologize? >> not at all. from all that i can see from this president, he apologizes for america. he criticizes america. >> a lot of liberals don't believe in american exceptionalism, but it doesn't mean they don't love america. >> i don't feel it. i don't feel the love of america. >> joining us how, sharyl attkisson, author of the best selling book stone wall. steve hayes, writer for the weekly standard.
2:35 pm
and juan williams, fox news analyst. you saw some of those interviews and the way rudy's tone changed. what do you think of the way the media has made it into a mega story? >> i think they have a right to do that. there are legitimate questions. does the media ask the same sort of questions with the same vigor with president obama when they suggested president bush was ununpatriotic, did they also pursue whether candidate obama wished to apologize. i don't know the answer because i didn't cover it back then, but that's what i'm interested in. >> pundits have been bashing rudy for crossing the line here. conservative commentators have been tepid rather than rallying behind him. your thoughts. >> i think it depends.
2:36 pm
route there is no question he's speaking for a chunk of the con connecticut serve difference base. i think republican candidates who have been asked about this, some sort ofdifference base. i think republican candidates who have been asked about this, some sort of not backing off. >> do you see the media as giving the proper play to pretty incendiary comments or do you think it's being -- >> how long has it been since he's been in office? almost 15 years. >> but he's america's mayor. >> i think it's a story. maybe a two day story. is it a five or six day story? it's not like there is no other news out there. you have iranian negotiations, obamacare. so many other things that journalists could be focusing on. >> what got less attention is this quote from rudy, he wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and i was brought up
2:37 pm
through love of this country. so why has this touched a media nerve? >> that's a big nerve because it plays to the idea that if you were not produce the up in a certain way and have certain values and taught certain values. and he says that, if you are not brought up in a way that you are taught that love of america is a requirement, then you can't be truly a patriot. i was like what is that about? i don't know what that means. because you can be brought up in all kinds of ways. you can be brought up as obama was at times in indonesia and still love your country. you can be gay and love your country. you can be different. race is just an explosive issue. >> and speaking of race i'm not bringing race in to it, i don't think what he said was racist. certainly questionable for a political figure to say about the president, but he calls it a joke since he was brought up by a white mother went to white
2:38 pm
schools. so i guess juan is right, race is forming a backdrop. >> well, the president doesn't hesitate to talk about the race of his parents and family members. so depending on the context, it can be perfectly legitimate to discuss. i'm not sure whether that impacts one way or another in this controversy. >> let me move to the question that has been debated on fox a lot, whether the president's administration should talk about islamic terrorists. we'll talk more about the president's take on the other side. but eric holder taking a swipe at this network saying fox didn't talk about this fox wouldn't have anything to talk about. surprise you that he would turn this into an anti-fox argument? >> eric holder takes a shot at fox. this is what he does. he's trying to shift the blame. he wants to pretend lake foxike fox news is the only one who believe this is. dy find it funny that he labels fox news in general as the problem.
2:39 pm
i think the administration wants to pre-sendtechd that this is just fox versus the administration. but you've seen questions about why they're so insist ebts on avoiding islam. >> it has gotten a lot of attention. new york time dis"new york times" did a story on it the other day. >> i agree. i think fox has a reoccupation with it, but it's also true that cnn, msnbc has done it and the new york"new york times" has done it. >> what is the nature of the preoccupation preoccupation? >> we hit it time and time again. we go back to it as a key element as the criticism of president obama is the failure to use that language. and then it become as semantic battle when it suggests something larger but it's never quite said. but i think that the idea that all these liberal media organizations has said it confirms fox is on to something.
2:40 pm
>> i have to get a commercial in here, but we'll continue the conversation and the president responding to the pundits. and later scott walker tells the "washington post" he doesn't know whether president obama is a christian. is that a fair question? [alarms blaring] ohhhhh... whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat.

president obama used a press conference to talk about the war on terrorism. >> president is addressing the pundits, and holder was just booking, and the president -- although you may disagree felt he had to explain. >> me should explain. go back to the statement on national television where he said isil is not islamic, there is nothing islamic about isil. people disagree with that and certainly foremost of those fighting on behalf of isil. it is worth a debate about the extent to which islam is playing a role and what is happening. the reporters have an obligation to cover it. >> is the police prompting or force the president to "explain."
2:45 pm
he devoted a good marted of the speech to explain islamic terrorism. >> her if you look at polls right now the american people, in other words an sent any ideological take bit media, the american people say the president to be doing more to fight isil and they want him to talk about whether this is an slam i-threat. that is coming from a genuine place. i would say that the president has to exercise some restraint because we do not want as americans to say we are at work with islam and every country that has a muslim majority. that is not in our best interests. >> it is interesting that bill o'reilly said we are in a holy war and schultz said we are in a religious war and people are not on the same side of the spectrum so the "new york post," the day after the president's speech, if we can put it up "islamic stepper, i don't see
2:46 pm
it," we haven with the artistic liberty, is it fair? >> it is fair, i think. but --. >> he does not sigh it as terrorism? >> not as islamic terrorism because he does not see the terrorists being of the islamic faith. the issues i see are is he affecting the strategy based on what it is that leads to not using the "i," and be careful with your advisors, because you may not hear the truth from your advisors. >> does he -- he is quick to invoke islam when members or when muslims are victims as he did in the shooting. and quick to eliminate any
2:47 pm
discussion of islam when --. >> by the way when you have the coptic christians killeds the egyptian coptic christians, random killings, in paris, the deli which the white house may have walked back. >> this and this not involving president obama but years ago when there were christians budging abortion clinics, i don't think there was hesitation on the part of the news media to say it was christians who were doing so, they believe regarding their faith or what they believe. >> a double standard. >> coming up, scott walker tells the "washington post" he doesn't know whether president obama is a christian and he blames the media for making it a controversy and we turn our media microscope on the coverage of illegal immigration. the pain was terrible. my feet hurt so bad. it felt like hot pins and needles... coming from the inside out of my skin. when i did go see the doctor and he prescribed lyrica.

scott walker was asked, and president obama a christian? and he said, i don't know. >> is there anything wrong with asking questions like that? >> no, no even taking it further, saying what about evolution, and shots to get your children immunized. it is important at this point to say to the left and right elements in the society, we are done with this talk but you do not see now a number of republican politicians saying, you know what i will not pander
2:52 pm

2:53 pm
and journalists are mostly over here. when a republican or conservatives says something that could speak to the republican base it strikes journalists as outrageous. >> but of course if walker said of course he is a christian then there is no story. >> if that was a gotcha question it was pretty mild, he bet be be prepared for more questions than that. but steve is right this is something that trillions a lot the way he answered and the way the media reacted tells a lot about the atmosphere but that is part of the game. >> that is the thing whether it is fair or not he has the view that all politicians want to do that and whether it and evolution or what so and so said you have to have a way to answer. >> more interesting is the press person called to amend it telling. >> about a candidate and a campaign and he honestied

honestly and thought better than that. who knows? >> still to come, a judge block 's president obama unilateral move on immigration. how did the networks handle that? if you're suffering from constipation or irregularity powders may take days to work. for gentle overnight relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. ducolax provides gentle overnight relief, unlike miralax that can take up to 3 days. dulcolax, for relief you can count on. oh i'm on the cookie air diet. you just... and that's it. i prefer real food fruit, nuts, and whole grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. more processed flakes look nothing like natural grains. let's get real.

time now for our media microscope. let's look at the newscasts after a judge blocked president obama's immigration order from taking effect. on world news tonight, the reporter never quite explained the reason and just included one sound bite from the president. >> a texas judge blocking the president's executive order that would have offered protection and work permits for up to 5 million undocumented immigrants in the u.s. late today the president shooting back. >> we should not be tearing some mom away from her child when the child has been born here and
