> from facebook that goes to two groups who held critically ill children, simon says giving and icing smiles. >> media buzz is up next. >> have a good day. >> thank you. >> on the buzz peter this sunday, hillary clinton at chipolte. hillary clinton eat as burrito, the mystery tour leaves the media reporting on a lot of silly stuff. >> coming up behind our camera. >> watching the reporters tape her is like they were little kids going after the ice cream truck. >> she looks like she is having fund and doing for her do enough stuff. we have never seen her get a burrito. >> is she dissing the press corps and are journalists part of the circus as they decry it? a different media sense for the marco rubio jumping into the presidential race. >> as soon as you go in the
2:01 pm
mainstream media they say, why do you have the experience to be president? >> that is a little boat and that is an experimented, accomplished woman. she was first lady and sends administration secretary of state. >> are news organizations giving the florida senator short terrorist? >> president obama forced to accept a congressional beer with a nuclear deal of iran as he takes cuba off the terror watch list. is he getting an easy ride from the media. >> a newspaper that knew a protester would land a helicopter on the capitol. >> and a one week suspension, is that enough? this is "media buzz."
2:02 pm
>> it is not breaking news that hillary clinton does not love the press so the really out in iowa seems designed to leave opponents behind the secret schedule, the unscheduled fast food stops producing this unked filing expect california. >> the van is coming up right here, right behind our camera. here it is. there she goes. secret service is following behind her. >> they are going around to the back so we are not -- you can see the media running behind me. they are chasing the scoobie van. she is going around to the back. >> we will see her very soon. >> guy in the orange pants is pretty quick. >> jon stewart, of course, had a field day. >> the news media does not just cover the fast food choice but they went all in. >> the only clinton siding came 59 by chill she is just like us she eatsally moment.
2:03 pm
security video captured her ordering burrito bowl. >> she got ice tea the. >> she ordered gauc. >> how many napkins? >> three. could have been four. tell me. >> joining us is ed henry fox news chief white house correspondent and kathleen parker pulitzer prize winner and our gift from npr. >> i broke the guacamole story. nah... >> people are chattering about this and chasing 9 van? were you embarrassed? >> slightly. i blogged about it on foxnews.com and my point is we are covering a candidate, not a celebrity. frankly, as much as the clinton campaign when people are writing about pant suits and this silliness they will say, we hate this we want to talk about
2:04 pm
substance, i am sure they are saying this is awesome let the media focus on this frivolous nonsense and no one is asking her about, how is the russian reset? how is that working out? >> how can you ask her about that when you and not get 50 yards from her? >> i got a limit closer. in some of the events i was close to her but people tried to shout questions and she just would not answer. we will talk about that later. she is part of this. it is not just the media. she has to realize she has to face scrutiny. >> what explains the media fixation or obsession with the menu choices the chicken burrito bowl? >> as i scaffold the crowd running after her, i thought my gone, no wonder they hate us. it is embarrassing. to all of us who work in the media. >> why? >> most of us would like to be taken seriously. we take our jobs seriously.
2:05 pm
we are trying to get to the meat of the matters. if we focus on the silly details we look silly. there is no content. if you want to say the candidate isn't giving us anything to work with...maybe we are not working hard enough to push it forward. i agree with ed, hillary clinton has to engage the media sooner rather than later because otherwise she looks like she is running from us. >> look, we had a good laugh at the reporter chasing her but if you are this and you don't go and she happens to pop out and answer a couple of questions your bosses are not happy. >> those people running, they had cameras and that is their job. we only have 469 -- 569 days left's the election she will have to answer the questions. this is a campaign that is designed to do what is happening. for some reason which i have not fathomed the public has an
2:06 pm
appetite for everything about the clip tons including what she ordered. she is going do give an actual speech they say in may, with substance and from what i understand the policy positions are worked out. a lost what was happening from her point of view was not just the press it was for people in iowa. she had to convince them this time she was going do work hard for every vote. she came in there -- this is a political strategy. >> ed, you interviewed the campaign stops and you asked her, well, when is hillary clinton talking and giving interviews. >> i left her first campaign event remainly to do a shot for shepard smith and sometimes you try to juggle multiple assignments and i missed the end of the first event and i am asked an hour later and jennifer say she just answered a bunch of questions and i am looking at producer, did we miss something
2:07 pm
and i ask my colleagues and they said she didn't have not have press availability at the end of the staged event she walked to the media and said, media not exactly like that, but it sounded like that, and said, people started shouting questions. >> we will take a look. >> she gave her talking points. >> hi everyone. how are you? >> fabulous. we are having the best time. >> hillary clinton when she is in a small environment a few people, some she charming, she is warm, she has a lost personality and a lot of pizzazz but she can come across as a regular person if that environment. why not project that to others? frankly she should be making friends with the media. they are not going to engage her. >> but that is not a news conference when people are shouting questions and my
2:08 pm
colleagues were asking things and it was nonavailability. >> she said neighbor maybe tongue and cheek? >> maybe someone misinformed her. >> no speech, no interviews a little wave as she walks by...is the press justified in feeling dissed? >> it is early. very, very early. maybe she wants to get her legs as she is getting out on the campaign trail initially. she will be making a huge mistake if she doesn't engage the media as someone like george w. bush did. when you are on the plane with the president or with a candidate that is the time to make this bonding. >> she will have to do that. i would argue that the people she has hired are all press friendly handlers opposed to the people she used to have around her who hated us and shall remain nameless. and hated our guts.
2:09 pm
there have been dinners and cocktail parties where a lost reporter to establish diplomatic relations and off the record. >> have you been to those? >> one. >> you say she wants to reconnect on this and talk to five or six. >> she has to show she will deal with the press differently. i don't agree our agenda, is we want her to get an hour long press conference every day and meaty press conference but she is accomplishing what she wants to, doing it when she is ready. >> we should not just go along. >> i 100 percent agree. >> in fairness to secretary clinton it is different at the start for her compared to marco rubio or rand paul who is trying to introduce themselves. everyone sort of knows hillary clinton so she doesn't need to do a news conference on day one or need to go on "the "today show"," like the others who need
2:10 pm
the free media. she cannot be off the hook for long term saying i will give you this. >> did you know when she was going do arrive in iowa or leave? >> the days plead into each other but when was the second night and i asked the campaign, is she take the van back? i heard she was flying back and they would not confirm whether she was flying or taking the van and i am not sure why. she wanted to go out and meat real people, so take the van or tell us. i said, well she is leaving tonight, right, because i was flying back to d.c. and i didn't want to leave her behind and they would not confirm if it was wednesday night or thursday morning. they would not tell us. >> just want to know where she is. so, maureen dude in the "new york times" today said she cannot figure out how to campaign as a woman and last night she overcompensated as a masculine woman and now a sweet
2:11 pm
granny. is this a year and a half of psycho analyzing the gender aspect? >> probably. but request do we have to pay attention to that? everyone has to write about something. she is approaching the issue of gender differently. no doubt. i don't think she is overexcepting. she a grandmother now. back then she didn't make being 9 first woman president a big deal now it is absolutely different. >> you write in your column if you are against hillary clinton according to your feedback you are detected as self loathing antiwoman traitor and a woman posted a x saying you should trade your ovaries fortas -- for testicles. >> yes. oh, yes. there is this sense among republican women that they don't count as far as electing the first woman president or a
2:12 pm
certain kind of woman president and this comes about as a result of 30 years of employ's list advancing only pro choice democratic women. there are plenty of pro choice --. >> what about the traitor charge? >> you arrest trait report if you do not support hillary clinton. >> i am telling you there is a huge county huge pressure wave out there to get on board or get out of the way. >> if some of the women writing there is another woman in the race, by the way. a republican and she is anti-abortion, doesn't fit in with other, perhaps other women who are writing to you on twitter. >> remember, send us messages on twitter. we will read some later. you can e-mail us, as well. stay tuned.
2:13 pm
...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. wóóó so, what brings you to jersey? well, geico's the #1 auto insurer in new jersey, new york and connecticut. so i just came by to say "thanks." #1, huh? that's great. here you go. a little token of appreciation. oh, that's... that's... that's great... now i'd say you probably need a large.

geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.
2:15 pm
2:16 pm
in the wake of hillary hoopla, marco rubio jumped into the presidential campaign this weekend and did a round of interviews, including one on the "today" show. >> your fellow republicans have been very critical of president obama over the last six years on domestic policy and on foreign policy. and i know you've heard the chorus. some in your party said we should have never elected a first-term senator, and here you are, six years later a first-term senator. >> right. >> do you expect them to change their tune? >> well, there's a difference between barack obama and i, and i think our histories are much different. i served in local government i served in state government for
2:17 pm
nine years in the third largest state in the country. i was the speaker of the florida house. >> that's certainly a fair question. kathleen parker, has rubio got a modest amount of coverage this week, because of hillary, we went a day after or because his poll numbers aren't great in the presidential race and the press has collectively decided to be skeptical of his chances of winning the nomination? >> i think they're strictly hillary-obsessed and they're missing as jon stewart pointed out a very important story. and it has to do with the fact that we have this young son of immigrants, cuban immigrants, who's coming from, as you said, one of the largest states, and he's a big character in politics. not even -- not just now, but for the future. so, i mean, the fact that we have ignored him, essentially really speaks orally of the media i think. there thoufb at least a few out there who say, you know this is important. marco rubio may not become the president, necessarily, but his candidacy signifies something important. >> i would argue, he was pretty effective rubio, in positioning
2:18 pm
himself there, because he's sort of in between hillary clinton's first event tuesday her first event on sunday, and said, there's candidates of yesterday and i'm the candidate of tomorrow. he was doing a two-shot at the jeb bush and hillary clinton. >> also playing off of bill clinton's campaign, back in the early '90s. you know, here we are, we can't -- >> the films of yester year. >> commentators can say whatever they want. that's what they're paid to do. we showed the clip of mika bri brzezinski saying, he looks like a little boy next to -- >> if the same commentator had been made about by a male commentator about a young woman, a young, brash, talented woman there would have been tremendous pushback, saying she's too young versus some older, experienced male candidate. i think that would have been a real problem. >> yet there's been virtually no
2:19 pm
backlash. >> well -- >> a little bit, but not -- >> i agree. i think that was out of line, but it's her opinion. >> it's her opinion, that's fine. >> the thing about rubio, he got coverage. he was overshadowed by hillary clinton. on the other hand, all of the second-tier republican candidates have suffered. ted cruz is a young, eloquent, son of immigrants, first-term senator. >> he has that first week. let's talk about the kind of coverage, ed. rubio released a tax plan this week and it's gotten almost no coverage. what did pounce around the net was "the new york observer" getting a high school photo of him doing a chippendale skit wearing no shirt. but shouldn't we focus on issues a bit more? >> we should. and now with the internet and tweets, everyone wants to do something that's going to get a little clicks. the goofy photo of marco rubio got more clicks than the tax plan. that's unfortunate. we're not going to completely change that but we should do a better job of focusing on the substance. i should also say in hillary clinton's defense she's going
2:20 pm
to get beat around on some of these issues, i mentioned syria and the russian reset. but the question matt lauer asked in fairness, that's a substantiative question that a lot of these candidates will have to answer. they all have beaten up on barack obama for six years plus about no experience and they have very little experience. you can say hillary clinton did an awful job in benghazi, syria, you name, but she's been in the arena. she's got a better resume. >> that's not a quote, liberal media question. three first-term senators and they all have to deal with that. >> it's also very early. >> very early. >> the media don't want to exactly pin down these issues so early on. and you know as time passes -- >> i'll ask you the same question in six months. >> thanks for stopping by. ahead, a florida newspaper sits on a story about that guy who landed his gyrocopter at the capitol. was that a reckless decision? but up next espn's brit mchenry suspended for one of the meanest tirades i've ever seen. but should that affect her job?
2:21 pm
when eating healthy and drinking water just isn't enough to ease my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief hey, what's up? i'm ted. rudy and i have a lot of daily rituals. namaste. stay. taking care of our teeth is one of them. when i brush my teeth, he getsts a milk-bone brushing chew. just another way to keep ourselves healthy. i'll go change.
2:22 pm
2:23 pm
2:24 pm
this one just made me cringe. espn sports reporter brit mchenry may be pretty poised on camera, but after her car was towed, she belittled the poor parking lot attendant which can only be described as a "mean girl" video. >> i have a degree. >> "honey." mchenry apologized on twitter.
2:25 pm
"in an intense and stressful moment, i allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things. as frustrated as i was, i should always choose to be respectful and take the high road." espn has now suspended mchenry for a grand total of one week. joining us now, joe concha. what's your gut reaction watching this tape, watching britt mchenry taunting this poor woman? >> i want to know why i'm only seeing britt mchenry talking in that situation. i want to see the whole tape howie. this was a conversation clearly and when the tow company was asked, are you going to release the entire unedited tape they said, no, they're not going to do it. and i think here there may be two sides to the story. now, that said, this was deplorable, the way britt mchenry acted. she represents espn 24/7, whether she's on the air or off, there's morality clauses and the needed to know that. she went over the third rail of
2:26 pm
insults when it came women to women. she went education, class weight, and teeth. >> i agree with you. that we've only sort of seen half the tape and you're one of the few in the media to raise that. the woman on the other side, gena michelle, put something up on facebook saying is, bottom line, she got towed she shouldn't have left her car unattended in another lot to patronize another bar. be angry or upset, you don't insult someone's looks because you're you're above them. even if gena, had been giving it back to her one works for a tv station the other doesn't. >> this towing company has twice as many complaints as every other towing company in the area combined. so they have a history of not having the best we'll call it customer service. and you're right. britt mchenry, again, has to be held to a higher standard. this woman that was working there is a single mom of three, that's the narrative that we heard, but if she was so innocent in this, why not just
2:27 pm
put out the unedited video and show britt mchenry going off on her -- it must have been edited for a reason, is my point. >> but we're talking about, as you say a single mom with three kids, working for a towing company. and fox ana marino said she didn't even think the lame one-week suspension should have been applied by espn, because britt mchenry wasn't, quote, on the clock. you know who else wasn't on the clock, ray rice when he punched out his fiancee in an elevator. o.j. wasn't on the clock. the late marge shot who owned the cincinnati reds, she get suspended for using the n-word. she wasn't on the clock either. you're in the public eye and in journalism have a responsibility to conduct themselves have been when they're ticked off and we've all lost our temper, in some private situation. >> howie, those are all excellent examples. you brought illegal, ray rice, brought up marge shot that was a racial slur, ethnic slurs when it came to donald sterling. you can go on and on.
2:28 pm
racial, ethnic slurs is you're gone. that's it. if you do something illegal, yes, you're gone, that's it. but if one person is mean to another person, and we don't know whether both sides are being mean to each other, does that go into a gray area that i don't know if we want to go into. your personal life is your personal life. and if you're being mean to somebody we don't know whether she was provoked, is my bottom line. >> i don't think britt mchenry should lose her job over this. >> "chicago tribune" says she should. >> lots of people can weigh in on this. i just think i don't care if the other person was being mean. you're being paid biesten. every time she goes on the air now, people will look at her everyone will think, lose some weight, baby girl. that's a damaging thing to do when you are somebody who makes a living in front of a camera. >> and she wasn't a very big name at espn. now she's branded herself as the girl from the video with the towing company. i think she's learned her lesson. she's certainly not going to do this again. but this shows video is
2:29 pm
everywhere, particularly with phones. these aren't just phones anymore. they're cameras and they're satellite uplinks and you can destroy a career in eight seconds, thanks to youtube. a million people have already viewed this video on youtube. >> joe concha, thanks very much. ahead on "media buzz," sarah silverman wound up peddling a false story. but first, the media yawn as president obama takes cuba off the terror list and congress acts on the iran nuclear talks. why aren't these major stories? in a work, work, work world... take time for sunday. just know that your truck... has a little thing for monday.
2:30 pm

2:32 pm
it was a striking headline in "the new york times." obama allows congress say on iran. excuse me. the senate foreign relations committee with every single democrat joining the gop voted to ensure the congress can review and act on any nuclear deals that the administration reaches with tehran. white house did get some language softened, but the
2:33 pm
network newscasts blew off the story and the limited coverage on the morning shows didn't treat it as all that controversial. >> the white house says president obama is ready to sign a compromise bill, letting congress vote on a final deal nuclear deal, with iran. >> a potential nuclear deal with iran has resulted in a rare somehow of bipartisanship in washington. washington. >> joining us now, fox news contributor and former foreign policy spokesperson for the bush administration. rick, how can this senate committee vote be treated as either a nonstory or not a controversial story? >> look, the iran issue is very complicated and it's probably too complicated for most of the political reporters. i don't think they're understanding all of the implications. look at the news this week of russian s-300 missiles being sold to iran. the yemen peace plan that iran
2:34 pm
has now given to the u.n. which is a joke. even today the iranians are poking fun. all of these issues really directly relate to the iranian deal but the media are missing them, because i think we have d.c. political reporters that are really reporting on this, and they don't understand the nuances. >> you also have new york executive producers making decisions about what to put on the air. so julie, this was a big confrontation between president obama and congress over what say capitol hill would have in any final deal. it was kind of diffdy fused by a bipartisan compromise. maybe the media are bored by bipartisan compromises. >> as you used the expression, leading blood on the floor is much more interesting. what they missed is there was blood left on the floor and it was barack obama's. the president drastically opposed congress having any say on this. it stattered with senator menendez, a democrat, former chair of the senate foreign relations committee. that mantel was picked up by ben cardin, who took over for him, whose democrats really stood up
2:35 pm
to the president on this. and i think that's the story in the left, that's talked about in the media, the more people are missing the fact, this is pretty unprecedented during the six years of barack obama's tenure. people really on democratic side did stand up to this president and said, no, congress does not want a say on something in something congress did not want him involved in. >> but if they said the president's blood is left on the floor, how is this not a story for the network newscasts. you say political reporters don't understand the nuances of it but just in terms of the sheer politics of it it seemed pretty significant to me. >> and they actually got it wrong when you look at it. they were saying there was bipartisan support in congress for the iranian bill. many of them were just getting this confused. there was really bipartisan support to say we want to have a say. and actually, our say is different than the president's say. look, i have a difference of opinion because i think it's really dangerous to have the
2:36 pm
congress trying to get involved in foreign policy. i'm against the iran deal, i think they should do everything they can, but i actually support the executive branch's ability to put forward. they won the election. elections have consequences. they should put forward foreign policy. however congress on the sanctions, congress owns the sanctions policy. to permanently get rid of sanctions, that is congress' business. i think that should have been their plan. >> just briefly julie, i want to move on to our other topic. does the press just not like or care about these sort of squishy congressional compromises. and of course it has to go to the senate floor and play itself out. >> i think it's more than that. i think we've been talking about this iran deal for so long now that people are confused and rick has a point as to what exactly happened. look the reality is we don't even have a deal. the deal may or may not happen at the end of june but people act as if we already have a deal and the reality is we don't. i think part of it is confusion. i think part of it is exhaustion, i think part of it as rick pointed out, a
2:37 pm
misunderstanding of what's going on. >> let me play a little bit of the network coverage of the other big foreign policy for this week, involving president obama and cuba. >> we are witnessing tonight another historic step in thawing relations wean the u.s. and cuba. the white house announcing that president obama will remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. >> four days after that historic handshake with raul castro, president obama took another step today toward normalizing relations with cuba. >> so, many in the media describing this step as historic, not controversial. >> yeah, and i think -- look, the europeans have never been -- the europeans have been engaging with cuba. they haven't been doing the blockade. so there is this huge nuance that the media are missing in terms of the united states is the only one that has been blocking cuba and having this sanctions policy. if the engagement process hasn't worked before why should it work now? there's a whole bunch of nuances
2:38 pm
that they should be reporting on, and it is controversial within the united states. that is a very big story. let's hear from the ancubans. let's hear from people who have been dealing with in the negative parts of this. >> but the media treats this as non-controversial because the mainstream media have largely embraced president obama's normalization of relations with the island. >> well it's not just mainstream media, it's pretty much the american public. if you look at poll after poll it shows that most americans are speaking of fatigue, fatigued by our cuba policy and don't put cuba in the same policy as you would sudan or anybody else. and so -- or for example, syria or iran for that matter. so when you have the vast majority of voters saying, enough is enough, and you have the vast majority of media probably agreeing with them and saying, enough is enough, this has been going, as barack obama said, since before he was born, it becomes a story that most people just want to move on from. cuba has not been in the news
2:39 pm
for many years now. >> well enough is enough for this segment, because we're out of time. thanks for stopping by this sunday. >> thanks. after the break, with hillary clinton assiduously avoiding the media how does that strategy compare to what other presidential candidates have done? and later, is it a newspaper's job to call the cops when a protesters wants to call his gyrocopter into washington's no-fly zone? okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine.
2:41 pm
that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help. i'm louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i told myself for so long that i needed to quit smoking. i would quit then i'd go right back to it. chantix absolutely helped me quit smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it.
2:42 pm
if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i'm not worried about smoking my next cigarette. to me that feels great. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
2:43 pm
how different is hillary clinton's carefully choreographed rollout in iowa from those of other candidates? unioning us now from san francisco, jeff greenfield, a political analyst who's worked for abc, cnn, and cbs. and jeff, you've covered a lot of campaigns in your time. how did you feel watching all this media chatter about the scooby doo van and chi poelt laypotle and all the other craziness? >> my first impression was to escape this for 18 months where there was no e-mail, tv or newspapers. there was a certain farcical element to all of this. but if it is possible to have any sympathy for any politician,ing ayears ago when hillary clinton went to iowa, there were huge crowds. it was is a big rollout and she was criticized for the regalness, the kind of neskt
2:44 pm
inevidentability. and this is not the definition of her campaign. your guests were quite right. she is not going to be able to spend the next year or run-up to the nomination just meeting, quote, everyday people and avoiding hard questions. it's different fundamentally, though, a, because she is the presumptive democratic nominee. that may be wrong. and second, she is one of the best-known people in the world and has been for decades. >> let me jump in and ask you this. this whole idea of sort of having -- politicians like to say they're having conversations with ordinary people. a lot of candidates -- is that even really possible in an age when lots and lots of cameras are following you around and everybody's on twitter and all of that? >> i think it is inevitably a contrivance contrivance. did ronald reagan spend a lot of time sitting down quote, everyday people? did john kerry and franklin roosevelt? it was a different era.

politics and the web have made politics in my view too much a sense of personality driven, as opposed to getting up and telling people what you intend to do as president. no i vividly remember being in new hampshire when pat buchanan was talking to one poor soul on a freezing street, somewhere in manchester, surrounded by maybe a hundred reporters. it is inevitably inevitably, i think phoney. >> you know, there's also the question of, who controls the message. if reporters had had a crack at hillary, certainly someone who you have said she had declined to answer back in 2012 when a congressional committee asked her about did you use a private e-mail everybodier is when you were secretary of state? at the same time you say candidates -- a lot of candidates have done this, but not usually in the first week of a rollout, when you say hey, folks, here i am running for president. >> look i think the campaign was trying to figure out a way not to make her seem like the kate mckinnon caricature on "saturday night live," which, by the way, is far less friendly as

amy poehler's was, as this power-driven person. >> devastating. >> yeah, but i still want to make this point that two things. one depending on where you are politically, people can either look like they're power mad or asserttive. you know, ted cruz got to the senate in 2013, began running for president before he knew where the light switches were. but if you like ted cruz that's not a criticism. and i do think by the way, there is a whiff of a phrase i normally don't use. there is a whiff of a sexist attitude about when a woman seeks power. but the most important thing is, in my view, if you're a reporter and don't want to spend your life explaining what the order was at chipotle what do you do? i was struck by a really interesting piece in politico by a writer named michael cruz who went to this chipotle and interviewed not hillary but the workers, and did an interesting piece on, what is it to work at
2:47 pm
a place like this? can you make a living? that's a way you can creatively use on what a politician does without focusing on her pantsuit. >> that's a good example of enterprise reporting. stick around jeff, because coming up should the "tampa bay times" have held back their story about the man who risked his life flying his

the 61-year-old mailman who landed his jie ro copter on the lawn of a capitol lawn is no stranger. he was quickly arrested and told a tampa bay times about the government corruption last summer. they posted video of him flying
2:51 pm
the contraption about an hour before the gyrocopter descended onto the hill. montgomery dedeadlined our request for an interview but he's defending his handling of the situation. >> it's not my job to pull the plug on somebody doing something like this. >> do you think that the pilot understood that he could have been killed doing this? >> oh, yeah. he knew that was certainly a possibility. he was ready for that. >> jeff is still with us. how does the tampa bay times not alert them until a half an hour before this man lands? >> i can understand what they did, but i think it was the wrong call. they are told all the time of impending events, some of them which are i legal. as a general judgment, it's almost like the rule that applies to someone like a psychiatrist. if you are told of something that's going to be imminent
2:52 pm
danger, your job as a citizen trumps your job as a journalist. if he said he's going to drop a device, i don't think that he would have had any problem. if the mailman said i'm bringing 50 people to the capitol and we're going to protest citizens united i think on that score you go the other way and you're with them. the fact that the air space in and around washington is so protected and guarded should have tipped off the reporter that there was a real danger to mr. montgomery, i mean, to the mailman and to other people. at that point the judgment should have been this is too dangerous for us to just let it go. >> that is exactly the point. imagine the conversation we'd be having now if law enforcement had shot down doug hughes and his contraption as he told the paper he thought very well might
2:53 pm
happen. everyone would be saying the newspaper was reckless. >> yeah, but, see, where i have some ambiguity is take a reporter who wants to imbed himself in an urban street gang to understand what it's like. there have been reporters who have done that. if you do that you know you'll be part of things that aren't right. it's a little bit more complicated than saying we have to alert the authorities. in this case, i just think it was a bad call. but i understand why the reporter thought he could do it. >> it took place of the paper. the secret service was aware of this guy but no one knew when he was coming. i think the tampa bay times did it because it wanted to preserve its scoop. thanks for joining us today. great to see you. still to come, your top tweets. why newspaper jobs are bad news

remember back when robert red ford made working for a newspaper seem cool? that was a long time ago. they say the newspaper reporter is the worst job of 2015 behind lumber jack and soldier. i say you don't go into newspapers for the money or the prestige. it's a calling. time for your top tweets. how would you describe the coverage of hillary clinton's rollout in iowa? the media are like teenager girls in a bieber concert with hillary entering the race. another one, a clown car chasing
2:58 pm
the scooby van. left wing media thought it was a success. typical partisanship. i think sarah silverman is funny but she made a video for a group and told a specific story about how the owner of the new york comedy club once paid a male comic more money than her for the same work. >> todd somehow brought up that he mentioned that he got $60. he just got $60 and i just got $10. we did the exact same time back to back in the same show. and so i went back inside, and i asked the owner al martin, and i said, al why did you pay me $10 and you gave todd $60. it was perfect. he goes did you want a $60 spot? >> except it didn't happen that
2:59 pm
way. the other comedian had been formerly booked and she was a last-minute fill in. she apologized saying her own tale is hardly an example of the wage gap and can only due that very true reality a disservice if she were trying to make it one. and she said to the maniacs who want to use this as a chit against women's issues, i ask that you please don't. sorry sara, you don't get to call other people maniacs after you say what you did was false. that's it for this edition of media buzz. i hope you'll like our facebook page where we post a lot of original content. we have a in each called your buzz. you ask the questions. i provide the responses. check out our home page as well. all our videos are there. you can dvr the show and you can write to us.
