my one big thing is the gop final assess the of the economy out on friday. thanks so much to our panel and thank you everybody for joining us. i'm maria bartiromo. see you tomorrow morning on the fox business network. on the "buzz beater" this sunday the media descend on the university of virginia after a black student is roughed up during an arrest outside a bar help his bloody face captured on cell phone video. >> [ bleep ]. >> so quick to be heavy handed when takes black heal because there is this perceived threat. >> the facts should drive the media coverage rather than speculation. >> are journal listists rushing to judgment before all the facts are in? i went to the campus to find out. it's scare mongering season as republican presidential

candidates start running in to the media buzz saw starting with ted cruz who was falsely accused out of scaring the heck out of a 3-year-old girl. >> and this has blown up in the media. it's gotten worse and worse. it became girl tear tied.rrified p. by the ended of it i'm freddy krueger. >> the horror movie theme also showing up in a piece caulked marco rubio's house of horrors. nd at resignation of schock noticed schock's office had been decorated in downton abbey's style. and what a killer ending. director of an hbo documentary about robert durst says he has no idea the real estate heir would be arrested shortly before the final episode which seems to contain a hot mike confession. >> were there any kinds of deals over the timing of the arrest? >> of course not.

we don't have that kind of power. and we had no idea of the arrest timing. in fact i was very nervous about it. >> did the fillemmaker strike a blow with justice or was he too ovz? this is media"#mediabuzz". ted cruz was giving a campaign speech when a small voice responded from the audience. >> the obama/clinton foreign policy of leading from behind, the whole world is on fire. >> the world is on fire? >> the world is on fire. yes. your world is on fire. but you know what, your mommy is here and every is hereer everyone is here to make sure that the world you

grow up in is even better. >> well the headlines made the texas senator sound like something of a monster, ted cruz scares young girl with fiery speech. michelle, the 3-year-old's mother, says her daughter wasn't fritsenned at all but that the press wouldn't listen. >> she looked at him as he was a hero that he was going to put the world that was burning out. he was going to be the firefighter. and never everyone once did they ask me or my daughter what really happened. and when i did say stuff to the reportsers that were there, they did not fill in the last part that i had told them which was she thought he was a firefighter. >> joining us now to scrutinize the cover, sharyl attkisson amy

holmes and kirsten powers. so the houston kron cellchronicle breaking the story ted cruz will get into the race tomorrow. why did they ignore the fact the 3-year-old was fine? >> i would go so far to say it was inappropriate if they knew how the child femt without talking to the child or other about it. but you have to understand that ted cruz is not liked by democrats and haft ss ss and half the republican party. there wouldn't be so much attention paid if they didn't think he was a serious threat to their interests. >> do some think ted cruz himself is kind of scary? >> we can see for ours that it was a charming moment. but i think the real key here is what the mother said. that none of the reporters spoke to her. they instead sort of wrote this

novelistic account of what happened at that campaign rally. but we have the video, so we know the print journalists were wrong. >> substitution game. if this had been a well liked politician, maybe someone who was a democrat, that would have been turned into by some a charming sweet moment and would have been portrayed entirely differently. >> the mom says a couple reporters it talk to her but didn't use a the information. but even if cruz didn't handle it well this seemed to be maybe a 30 second item. but the story went viral. >> it feeds into the narrative that there are some people who don't like him. i'm not a fan of his but i have to say, he was pretty charming in that video. so interesting to see that it actually was the opposite of the way that he's portrayed. but at the same time i think journalists do this a lot because they're desperate for a story. so they don't have anything to write and they see something that happeens and they think i'm going to run with this because this is something other than just saying ted cruz was giving a speech.

>> and you can picture the journalists after this moment talking with one another after the event having the impression. an basically being as we saw writing the same story which actually had nothing to do with what happened. >> interestingly cruz says the local press covered the substance of what he said, the national press was all about him terrifying this little girl. let's move to this politico story. a piece about marco rubio and his long friendship with david rivero. they bought a house together a decade ago now trying to sell it for $10,000 less than they paid for it. does this justify the headline marco rubio's house of horrors? >> quite a headline. different people write the headlines than write the articles as we although. i don't see anything wrong with the story. very long. i'm not sure in my view as a reader that it deserves the kind of attention to the setup that

it was given. if you started reading that story which was not particularly well written, but if you could figure it out it sounded like it was setting up some giant scandal and it never delivered. i think it was fairly reported, but there was so much attention paid to something that didn't seem to deliver. >> at worst it seems that you could say senator rubio has not cut loose completely a controversial friend. >> it was ridiculous. the writer said this house is symbolic somehow of senator rubio. and i read it and like page two, do i really have to read through the rest of this? apparently marco rubio is overly loyal and lost 10 grand on a house deal and it took 1,000 words to get that across. >> if there was a question that did he get a cut rate mortgage or some special deal, i could see it. but the house just hasn't been doing well. sgrt theimplication was that he

should have cut off his ties with him. i don't think people have to cut off ties with friends. >> democrats or republicans who have gotten cut rate deals from mortgage company, candidates who have associated with people who made racist statements, people who are convicted terrorists, people convicted of bank fraud. so what is so unusual. this seemed much less than the accepted -- >> and in the piece the reporter said we spoke to a dozen people. and all they could get was a reference to shakespeare. are you kidding me? >> always that intimidation paragraph, like we interviewed 400 people. also in politico a piece about jeb bush's wife and her father, jeb ear jeb's father-in-law. he's always said he abandoned the family when she was 10. this story interviewed relatives on the father's side. and my question, is this an

important story an interesting story or nonstory? >> i don't think it's an important story and i actually thought it was a little outside the bounds of what journalists should be doing. you shouldn't -- what seems to have happened is the mother was divorced and she took the side of the mother. >> she was 10. >> yes. she was 10 years order.er sars old she lived with the father for a year or something. but sort of the thread of the story was the suggestion 245that they were lying about this will. based on strange family members. strange family members aren't the best sources of information. >> supposedly the father left the family 40 years ago. and i don't see anything wrong with looking at that relationship, the article almost made it seem like this was the only facet of this woman that we were to consider that must have shaped everything she's all about. >> whereas the "washington post"

today has a lengthy profile and a big are look at a woman who grew up in mexico and potentially could be the first laid. before we get to a break, i want to play a sound bite from dick durbin talking about the stalled nomination of loretta lynch. >> and so loretta lynch, the first african-american woman nominated to be attorney general, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to senate calendar. >> so i think we can all agree that he was playing the race card here. her nomination has been stalled by republicans for having do with unrelated legislation. you can criticize that. cable chatter sure. but "new york times" didn't even do a news story on this. >> i think it's news worthy when a senator makes such a advice tree ol lick ridiculous and

frankly disgusting statement about his fellow senators putting a woman at the back of the bus. but i do want to get back to colunba. when i where he hadread that piece i could not believe that politico expended all of those resources to send a roert down to nextare the reporter down to mexico to report on a 40-year-old divorce. >> holding loretta hostage, that's fair about that with you he didn't embrace the racial rhetoric. so is this a bigger story than durbin's comments? >> i think durbin's comment is a bigger story just based on the fact that i have some african-american friends who are loyal democrats who thought it went too far. i know there have been african-americans spoke out about it. this is something democrats do over and over and nice to see them actually get called out on it. because instead of actually

talking about the issues they just go straight to we'll call you a racist, we'll call you some name rather than actually have a debate about what is going on. >> and can >>dy minute tesch and ittitdy everyone seems to be is this is a solid nominee. we'll see how long it plays out. send me a tweet,@howard kurtz. you can also e-mail us. ahead, my report from the university of virginia on whether the media are making a student into another symbol of racial injustice. and why are the pundits so anxious to find a democratic opponent for hillary?

hmm... fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that parker. well... did you know auctioneers make bad grocery store clerks? that'll be $23.50. now .75, 23.75, hold 'em. hey now do i hear 23.75? 24! hey 24 dollar, 24 and a quarter, quarter now half, 24 and a half and .75! 25! now a quarter, hey 26 and a quarter, do you wanna pay now, you wanna do it, 25 and a quarter- -sold to the man in the khaki jacket! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

did you sign the separation statement before you left state? did you sign that statement? >> the uproar over hillary clinton's private e-mail has taken an intriguing turn after the team changed its story to say every one its messages was re, personal ones were deleted and state department acknowledged she didn't sign an exit form. but you the controversy has prompted the pundits to talk of potential challengers to hillary with some openly pushing that idea. >> every other major party nomination there has been some serious competition. hillary clinton right now doesn't have much serious competition. >> democrats started to freak out. maybe it should be due value patrick instead of hillary

clinton, let's try again to get elizabeth warren to run.value patrick instead of hillary clinton, let's try again to get elizabeth warren to run. >> amy, why are the media suddenly cheer leading for any democrat to take on hillary clinton? >> because hillary clinton right now is struggling with her pre-candidacy before she announces becoming president. but also frankly the left has always had an uneasy relationship with the clintons. if you remember bill clinton brought the democratic party to the center and even -- >> and journalists have had -- >> yes, an uneasy relationship with the clintons. >> doesn't this amount to pumping up people who either aren't going to run like joe biden or don't look terribly strong like former maryland governor martin o'malley or even the guy who sets hearts a flutter al gore saying he should run and make it about climate change? >> i think it's a legitimate story. there are plenty of democrats who are saying what happens if hillary implodes.

there is no plan b. what could be the potential plan b. so i don't know if they're pumping them up. they're getting names from democrats who i think everybody has decided that hillary is the only way. >> so you think the coverage reflects an unease in the democratic party? >> or what amy was saying that there are democrats on the left side of the party that don't like hillary clinton. that they would like to see somebody else. >> it's always couched as competition is good for the party and hillary needs the batting practice. but my suspicion is the press needs a story. >> i think kirsten put her finger on it. you're acting as though the press is driving the story. to some degree that's true but i think the democrats are driving the story. therefore the press had permission in some cases even liberal facets of the press to do this store aggressively. >> but when a piece is written saying al gore should run it's because he'd like to see al gore

run. >> i wouldn't be so sure about that. >> okay. >> same groups do the same kinds of stories over and over again and they seem to be like minded. you can group them all together. >> talking points go out, e-mails are sent. >> so braefief answer from everybody. is the e-mail story fadinge inging and maybe it didn't do as much damage as we thought it might shall. >> the good news is it's happening in march. >> so is it over? >> it's fading. they have run the clock out and it's so early. doesn't mean it won't come back, but i think it's probably dead in the mainstream media. >> i think there will be more peaks and valleys. >> you're seeing a comeback. >> there could be. there will be more developments. >> will you all at least acknowledge if we could somehow entice another prominent democrat into this case we would have an actual primary to

cover? because right now we're lacking. >> i think governor o'malley believes himself to be a credible candidate. >> i do so too, but the question is will he be running. all right. thanks so much. ahead, were hbo and law enforcement in collusion in the making of that documentary about robert durst? but up next a "washington post" reporter walked into schock's strangely redecorated office. he'll tell us what happened next.

i've also learned from tmz that you have six pack abs. any truth to that, congressman? >> well -- >> it's a simple question. do you or do you not have six pack ans? >> as soon as i say that and then i get out of shape you'll use it against me.s? >> as soon as i say that and then i get out of shape, you'll use it against me.bs? >> as soon as i say that and then i get out of shape, you'll use it against me. >> a "washington post" reporter visited his office and noticed it had undergone an expensive make over. joining us now, ben terris. so you you walk in and you see the red calls anwalls and candles and you say to yourself this is a story? >> no, i just thought it was an interesting looking officer. but a woman popped out and started taking pictures and that's when it became a story. goit the a phone call from the press guy saying who told you can take pictures. you have to stop doing that. stay where you are. you created a crisis in the

office. >> leaving aside the fact that it's an office paid for by the taxpayer, did his tone worry you? >> yeah somebody on the phone that i didn't expect to be calling me angrily. if anything, i thought they would want the story out that there is a cool looking office. and then somebody came me i had to delete the photos. >> and you refused of course. >> yeah. >> and later you agreed to delay the story a bit because congressman hasn't seen the office yet. >> writing a story on offices is not something i normally do. but when they said we can get the congressman to talk to you on monday i out i'll wait until monday. >> and then he didn't want to talk. >> yeah, monica around and no talk. >> so when schock's staff is saying don't do this story did you feel like you were being bullied? >> definitely pressured. they were trying to control the

message. so the story i decided to write was about the kind of obsession with image in d.c.. people want to control the image they have. and when somebody stumbles into their office and wants to write something it doesn't always go their way. >> so all these pressure tactics, didn't that succeed in making it a story that got about 100,000 times more attention than might have otherwise? >> absolutely. there is a chance you all i would have done is tweeted out a couple photos saying look at this cool office. >> should you have focused immediately on the cost and the fact taxpayers are footing the bill? >> that's an interesting question. i'm not an investigative reporter. i don't dive into people's spending. i'm glad there are people out there who did because there was interesting news that came out afterwards. >> are you surprised by the media scrutiny? legitimate questions about schock who apparently overbilling the taxpayers for mileage in his district and

taking rides on donors planes. >> yeah, absolutely. i knew it was a viral story pretty quickly. high phone started buzzing with tweets as soon as the story went out. i thought it would be a two day story and the kind of thing people thought about every once in a while. i did not expect there to be a trickle of sorries for six weeks. >> nor did you expect the congressman to resign. >> no and now a federal investigation, too. >> meanwhile quote of the year is schock's father telling the chicago's bls tv, two years from now he will be success if fess another if he's not in jail. not a happy story. ben terris, thanks very much for stopping by. coming up, why the huge story about a drunken crash involving two secret service agents didn't quite pan out. but first, why did the police wait to arrest robert durst until right before the finale of an hbo series that supposedly contained a confession?

the six part hbo document taker on robert durst who is suspected in three murders is called the "the jinx." >> what do i say but how do i say it. i never internally purposely lie. may mistakes. i did not tell the whole truth. nobody tells the whole truth. >> nobody tells the whole truth. and it contained this seeming confession when the real estate heir was off camera in the bathroom but still miked up. >> i'm having difficulty with the questioning. what the hell did i do kill them all is this of course? of course. the director says they didn't find the so-called confession until two years later. >> once you hear it i guess you

have a legal and moral obligation to go to the authorities. so when did that happen? >> when we found that subsequent admission. we contacted them and said we have something more. >> and police arrested him just before last sunday 's conclusion and have charged him with murder. joining us now to examine the ethical questions, in new york, maderissaa guthrie and here in washington, tearrrenceence smith. on the hbo filmmakers won't say exactly when they turned over that audio evidence. were they perhaps worried about spoiling their series? >> imagine that. interesting point, though. when did they cooperate and share with law enforcement. when did they not. what kind of deals were struck with law enforcement as to when an arrest might take place, was

an arrest actually delayed for the series. it really provocative interesting questions. >> what is the ethical obligation here? what if hbo delayed and it turned out that be robert durst had fled the country or killed somebody else. it seems the timing is very questionable. >> it's very questionable. it appears that could you extrapolate that law enforcement is grand standing here. and they had the perfect opportunity with this very much highly publicized documentary series which was a six hour series. so it's been on for several weeks. but i think that the filmmakers knew they had a moral and ethical obligation. i think where it will get tricky and where durst's attorneys will have a lot of investigating to do on their own is when exactly they did start cooperating, when law enforce the found out about -- everybody is calling it a confession but it could also be the ramblings of a mentally damaged person.

but it gives fodder to his defense team i think. >> you say they may be grand standing. i think they're mortified law enforcement. i think they're caught and the public will wonder why over all these years law enforcement could not being a coupleaccumulate the evidence and information. in the very last segment there they have nailed two the nonlegal eye. they have nailed this by at leastberman murder with the writing. >> the handwriting very similar. i agree i'm putting confession in quotes. it is rambling. but i'm not buying the notion the cops say it was just a coincidence that they arrest him right before the finale. >> of course not.

first of all i agree with you on that confession is it a confession. will it be admissible. can they demonstrate that that's what he was really saying or was he rambling. i mean i wouldn't know. about that. but the whole thing it's a very provocative case and i like you cannot believe that it was just a coincidence. law he'd gone to this hotel in new orleans and had big money and -- >> you cover the entertainment business. all this just gold for hbo. >> exactly. and they are not talking about it the executives at hbo. this was an acquired film, this wasn't something -- basically almost finished when they bought it. so this wasn't something that their executives in the documentary unit were working

closely on throughout the ten years he was making this filling him. but to terry's point i think that the burden of -- the burden for the director is to make an entertaining film and much different burden for law enforce. . so he may appear guilty in the fill film because you can put interesting sound track to it. so it's a different burden. >> let me jump? because i want to ask about the director. he announced i'm not doing anymore interviews because i could be called as a witness. that complaint owedidn't occur to him before? >> i'd assume he's an automatic witness to describe what he found and how he found it. so there may be something more. why did he clam up. it's a fair question.

>> because he doesn't want to answer some of these questions i believe. interesting side note, "new york times" coverage of this, the reporter saw the series well in advance which is not unusual to screen something. but then couldn't report the news because he'd agreed and didn't disclose to rearedders that he himself had been interviewed on the program. any much those things a problem? >> i'm not so sure that the fact that he appeared -- they should have put a note in his story. what's the harm. i don't think he crossed any ethical line. i mean these sorts of films, there is always reporters and talking heads. so i think that's fine. they didn't send everybody the last episode on purpose. i got the first three i think. and after watching the first lee before it started to air, my question to hbo was what happens, does he eventually confess?

>> you you wanted to cut to the chase. before we go associated press originally reporting robert durst had been thewith the band biscuit. thanks very much. a fascinating melodrama. ahead, did you buy all that media gossip about vladimir putin and why he was missing in action? and after the break, i counted 16 television crews at the university of virginia after a racially charged arrest. but are the media rushing to judgment without all the facts? man (sternly): where do you think you're going? mr. mucus: to work, with you. it's taco tuesday. man: you're not coming. i took mucinex to help get rid of my mucusy congestion. i'm go od all day.

when the university of virginia suddenly seemed to erupt as the media's latest racial flash point i went to charlottesville to see what was happening behind the headlines. here is smi report. the blood was still on the sidewalk where martese johnson was arrested. at first glass, it looks like a case of cops out of control, except they were virginia alcohol control agents. we don't know if the confrontation across the street from the university of virginia was racial in nature or to what degree the student was resisting arrest. without force according to the charges. but while 16 television crews showed up in charlottesville to cover the story, the truth is we still don't know exactly what happened before a bystander's cell phone video captured the

bloody after math of a st. patrick's day arrest. >> i go to uva. [ bleep ]. racists. what the [ bleep ]. how is this happening? >> bartenders told me the arrests of underage students aren't unusual this this college town and there are more than 1600 a year across virginia. so why has this turned this to a national story? if it hadn't have been for the cell phone video we probably wouldn't be here to talk bts an about the angry student reaction. but in the age of video and a bloody face remember we don't know what happened before. we don't see the resisting arrest. we don't know what led up to it. but we do see a guy who ended up with ten stitches who happens to be i'm told the only black member of the honor society here at the university of virginia.

emotions were running high at a series of protests organized by black students. and as they talked about the deaths of michael brown in ferguson and eric garner on staten island it became clear the martese johnson served as a spark in igniting their grievances. >> i was debating dropping out of school because this is just so tough. this is mentally exhausting. every single day. >> that the university was up forred by thomas jefferson is for students like deniah almost an insult. >> i need to you address that we have a right -- stop talking about thomas jefferson like he's a deity. >> some protesters acknowledged to me they had no evidence that the scuffle with johnson was racially motivated, but they're highly suspicious.

sfwr one thing that got to me about the martese video, he's screaming i'm a uva student and i think that should be clear to everyone that while yes, that is important, being a black male kind of supersedes that in the eyes of law enforcement. they're so quick to be heavy handleded when it is a black male because there is this perceived threat. >> i don't feel like if it was a white student who had a fake i.d., i don't think there would have been an issue. there are plenty of students on this grounds with fake i.d.s, but none have been put in the hospital. >> the coverage ratcheted up when governor mcauliffe ordered a state investigation. and when the president teresa sullivan excessed her sympathy. sullivan was criticized for overreacting by banning fraternities when "rolling stone" reported a gang rape had taken place at a uva frat. a botched story later discredited, but when which led to journalists descending on the

campus as they have again this week. >> same old stuff, media trucks trying to get a story. >> no depth, ten stitch, a little blood. and a little blood goes a long way. so the pictures may be exaggerated, but the guy probably got hurt for sure. >> uva student nick christian sees the media rushing to judgment. >> facts haven't come out yet. so i think this is a bit premature. i understand the offense but i think the facts should drive the media coverage rather than speculations that have come out based on other national reasons about sgrp thereasons. >> the man that could answer those questions made a brief appearance with his attorney. >> i'm shocked that my face was slammed in to the brick payment just across the street from where i attend school. three officers then pinned me to the ground, pressing their knees in my back while blood flowed freely from the gash to my head.

as the officers held me down, one thought raced through my mind. how could this happen. >> but martese johnson did not speak and the lawyer took no questions from reporters. johnson brushed aside questions from a fox news producer friday as he marched with other students leaving a narrative missing crucial facts. >> martese can you talk about what happened is this. >> we don't know exactly what happened outside the pub with the arrest of martese johnson, his blood still on the sidewalk. but the invasion of television crews is already casting this as a national symbol of another racially charged incident involving a black man. still a lot we don't know about what happened. after the hebreak, the story about two secret service agents and the late night crash that wasn't.

softened the story with a serious of online. secret service investigated after car hits white house bar kate. i talked to a official who saw a video who says the agent's car was moving very slowly toward a guard house and nudged aside a barrel. and moved past the suspicious item on the ground. is there a temptation on a story like this to push it a little bit too much beyond what you have documented? >> apparently yes, and i would say this highlights a couple of problems we've talked about in the past. the tendency for some in the media to pick up things from other reports. sometimes you have to do that but it highlights the dangers of taking a piece of information from someone who was supposedly told something from a source. it was incorrect and blew it and spread like wild fire. >> the source just doesn't have all the facts or the source

pushes the nar tiff a little too farp. "the washington post" did very good reporting about secret service in the beginning with the fence jumper who somehow got into the white house and also had to run corrections about the story about the armed guy who shared an elevator with president obama. he was not a convicted fellen. the facts can change rather quickly. >> here's the problem. i assume this is somebody the paper thought was a good source gave bad information. why were they a good source? how did the information come about? i always ask the question in whose interest it for the story to be exaggerated? who is it that wants people to think the secret service is more out of control in that incident in particular than others. i always wonder what interest is behind picking up a story. >> journalists have to factor in that sources have an agenda.

it has to be considered. a lot of people see car crash and they never catch up with the later correction or clarification. >> sometimes that serves the point of the person who's trying to put the false information out. they know it'll take out even if there's a correction later. >> still to come your top tweets. a liberal cal um nis who gets a backlash and why did the media wallow in all the rumors about vladimir putin? my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help. i took tylen but i had to take six pills to get through the day. so my daughter brought over some aleve. it's just two pills, all day! and now, i'm back! aleve. two pills. all day strong, all day long. and now introducing aleve pm for a better am.

liberal african american washington post columnist for doing what many on the left have refused to do. admit that the narrative that took hold after michael ferguson's shooting was a lie that flew up on twitter. >> fellow african americans called me a sellout. others said i did it because i

wanted white people to like me or that i, coat did it for the money. i did it because it was the right thing to do. >> that hostile reaction only jujds scoring the bravery of writing that column. the founder of the daily caller website is the co-host of fox and friend weekends. one of his columnists quit after karl son killed a piece saying fox news isn't being critical enough on immigration reform. he says he gives his writers vast freedom because he says you don't go after your employer. that helps undercut his site's independence. why is much of the media calling for people to challenge hillary? >> jim she can't win and is desperate to secure another term. >> another. they prefer one with less bag damage. tom b, so they have stories. must create conflict division,

chaos or they might really have to work. finally vladimir putin drops out of sight and it's okay to put out rumors. rumor says the reason run the vam it from the president going through plastic surgery, having a cold, cancer and even death. here's "the new york times." he has been stricken by the particularly devastating strain of flu going around. he sneaked off to switzerland for the birth of his love child. he had a stroke. he was dead age 61 except he wasn't. he reemerged this week and had the last week at the media saying it would be dull out gossip. that's it for this edition of media buzz. we hope you'll like our facebook page. we post a lot of original content there and videos answering your questions.
