eight years old and up and costs $38. >> would you do it? >> no, i like to swim. >> do it and swear a shirt. >> maybe. maybe i would. "media buzz," is next. >> george stephanopolis underfire for donating $75,000 to the clinton foundation and failing to disclose it to viewers or his abc bosses even when conducting a skeptical interview with the author of the book rip that very foundation and now the anchor has apologized. >> the clinton campaign has said you have not produced a shred of evidence on the donors and we have done work here and found no proof of any kind of direct action and i should have done the extra mile to avoid the appearance of a conflict. i apologize to all of you for failing to do that. >> how deeply has the former clinton white house aide heard his own credibility especially

as he covers hillary clinton's presidential campaign? >> jeb bush kicks up a storm defending his brother's invasion of iraq and ignoring the key part of the question. >> on subject of iraq, i know it is controversial knowing what we know enjoy would. >> authorize the invasion? >> i would have, and so would hillary clinton and so would almost everyone that was confronted with the intelligence they got. >> how did the former governor bobble the question of what we know now and will the media pressure him to disavow his brother's policies? >> president obama said the reporter need to do a better job of certain segments of society. >> letterman about to hang it up with a parade of all-star guests. >> we discussed this, maybe it is easier for a man to be more

effective out of office? >> you are about to find out. >> i take that as a challenge. >> how did dave transform late night tv&can stephen colbert hang on to the cbs audience? i am howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." george stephanopolis burst on to the national scene at the top white house campaign advisor to the clintons and later joined abc as a liberal commentator and when hillary clinton made the first white house run he was interviewing her as an abc anchor. >> looking back did the clinton administration you came out against free trade agreements but did the clinton administration does not do enough to address the down side of globalization. >> you remember this because george worked in the 1992 campaign and george and i actually were against nafta.

i am talking about him in his previous life before he was an objective journalists and did not have opinions about such matters. >> now as co-anchor of "good morning america" and hot of "this week," he failed to disclose $75,000 in donations to the clinton foundation and even if he covered the political uproar of the finances and talked about the donors on the show. >> the influence comes with access and that has to shape the thinking of politicians. >> initially he offered a narrow apology but on friday he expanded it on "good morning america." >> the donations were a matter of public record but i should have made additional disclosures on air. i believe directing personal donations to the foundation was a mistake. >> stephanopolis repeating that apology on "this week," on this sunday. we have nina easton, fox news contribute and mercedes schlapp

and da anyway mill bank columnist for the "washington post". a-- how much of a blow? >> incredibly. he was doing reporting on the foundation that he gave $75,000 to. he was calling people on partisan ties, his guests and he had partisan ties, clearly if he is still giving money to the clintons or has tied to the clintons and going on jon stewart and not disclosing it. accident closing it, by the way in the last bit he apologizes disclosing it would undermine any credibility he had to report on this story. >> but as least he would disclose it. mercedes, can the republicans trust george stephanopolis to be fair? >> senator rubio on fox with chris wallace said that, i have always viewed him as a fair and

credible journalist but when you look at the conservatives on the right they are saying, this is questionable. you go back --. >> do you? >> you know, you worry about the fact that, will he be able to even give hillary clinton a fair interview, an objective interview? it makes everyone very concerned on the right. they are starting to see the stories pop up, rush limbaugh talked about it, about him he was never a journalist in the first place so it does impact george especially for this particular presidential cycle with hillary clinton running. >> i don't think it is fair to say he has never been a jump lit. >> he has worked hard in 18 years to put the partisan past behind him. he has dropped out of moderating the presidential debate. but if he cannot do that, dana, how can he interview the presidential candidate? >> he has created a real problem

for himselfs and it is a student put civil inflicted wound because he labored for 15 or more years just to get into a position where people were giving him -- i remember when he was first joining abc i saw an event in iowa and i joked you are going to be a journalist and he does not thing it was funny. sure enough he proved he could be send by all sides and that is why the idea of the contribution itself discredits him. not the campaign but the fact he is giving money to the foundation. the fact that a tv journalist like you make so much money they can give this much away is a further outrage. >> i am up there in the stratosphere. but abc told me that he is in violation of the policies but it is oh case it was an honest mistake we forgive him because he apologized but by the way clinton foundation does good work and many media companies including the sister company of

fox have given major donations but they are not george stephanopolis former clinton aide who has the problem. >> he cares about aids in africa. there are other less --. >> any other charity? >> other important thing is the timing. the timing of the donations 2012 2013, 2014, as hillary clinton is charging up the campaign and as he said on jon stewart, if you are giving that money, are you expecting some access? >> but the conservative website got this school, did the responsible thing and called abc for comment and rather than commenting they cooperated with "politico". what message does that send to other news outlets of whether you throw it online or dot right thing first and ask for comment? >> they were clearly cherrypicking outlets and again, it goes to the what mercedes referred to, the distrust of conservative outlets

and conservative commentators have had about george stephanopolis and he needs to go the extra mile to have creditabilities. >> i am not someone that shouts liberal bias every five minutes. there were zero stories on msnbc but if it was equivalent of a journalist with conservative pass it would be all over. is abc saying george stephanopolis will continue to lead the 2016 campaign coverage. isn't there a shadow over the coverage? >> they are making a mistake. primarily because hillary clinton will be most likely the democratic candidate and i think for george it would represent a problem when you are the lead political correspondent and really providing that objective analysis especially in the facts when you saw the interview he did it was clear the questions, it was like talking

points out of the clinton campaign where even peter felt attacked from george so, again it really hurt him incredibly going back to the point of nina, 2012 and 2013 they were revving up for the campaign and the idea the foundation was a super pac for hillary clinton. >> i have been tough on george stephanopolis. i like george. he is savvy. i dealt with him when he was a white house spinner and campaign aide in 1992 so i have watched him try to make the transition but it is not just the fact that hillary clinton is going to be the nominee any republican presidential candidate if he does an aggressive but fair interview people will say it is because he is in the tank with clintons and people watching will see fairly or unfairly through a different lens. >> what he will have to do is be particularly tough on hillary clinton now sort like a makeup call that the ref has to do in

football. i think it is going to have to overcompensate could if anyone should be disappointed about the whole george stephanopolis scandal it is secretary of state, hillary clinton. >> you are saying he will have to bend over backwards. >> it is inexplicable. no one questioned his integrity before this. he finally made it. >> people on your side? is that true? >> when i was working at the white house it was true, the bush white house it was clear they thought george stephanopolis would be fair. it was what senator rubio described this morning but with that said now that we have seen the link to the foundation, the interview he did with peter it is about look at the stuff that he took and it brings to light the fact that the republicans are going to be concerned and she do not want him involved not only in the debates but accepting an interview with him. >> let me make the turn to jeb

bush four statements of iraq over four days automatic starting with this interview with megyn kelly on fox. >> you don't think it was mistake? >> the intelligence that everyone saw that the world saw, not just the up, was faulty. by the way guess who things those mistakes took place as well? george w. bush. >> the former governor of florida went from that governor to telling hannity he misunderstood the question but he would not 18 the question because it is hypothetical to say he would not and then to say yes. the media demand consistency. >> or at least not having five different answers in three days. >> one or two is okay, maybe three. >> problem is, he had an easy out, he could have said he misunderstood, fine, get out of

jail free. you are done. and he would not do it. the irony is that he set out he is his own man and he is not like his brother and he proved it. his brother would say one thing and stick and younger brother jeb now said five thing in three days. >> is the media criticism justified? >> unfortunately, he carries the burden of his brother and the brother's legacy so it has been very tough on jeb bush but the lesson he has to learn to listen to the questions and also not be so not on auto pilot in answering questions. >> my feeling whether he heard the knowing what we know now or he was so anxious to give the talking point he blew passed it but the level of criticism is so intense i wonder if you think this is overblown. >> i don't actually. i say that while acknowledging that the media has a short term memory of iraq and the fact that democrats like hillary clinton

supported going in and media outlets like the "new york times" contributed to it. that said, this was a perfectly legitimate question for megyn kelly to raise and perfectly legitimate reaction by the froze say he stumbled for days. it was not an unexpected question. you should know what you are going to say. >> he had a year to prepare. i have only a few seconds is it that the press is trying to find daylight between jeb bush and george w. bush or hang the presidency around him? >> it is the reality of covering jeb bush is george bush so you have to be ready for that. >> remember to send me tweets, and tell us what you think of this show or the issues we are talking about or e-mail us at foxnews.com. are media going overboard in predictions.

and brit hume complaining that the media and fox do a lousy job of covering certain issues. hese issues.

caring for someone with alzheimer's means i am a lot of things. i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects

are headache, diarrhea and dizziness. all my life, he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namendaxr.com.

>> and after jeb bush's terrible week with the media he botched iraq and he is a terrible candidate, to someone saying there is no way he can win the nomination. possible overreaction? >> i think so. he is raising a lot of money. people do have, you look at, a lot of the political operatives who have joined his team. >> i think the press always overestimates. you have to raise a lot of money in modern politics but the press equates racing a lot of money

with success and if you cannot answer the question that is predictable you can raise a billion and --. >> that question for him he misunderstood the question, i think, he made it clear and it took him a little long to clarify the question. >> a little long? a week. >> several days. but it is interesting he came back in iowa yesterday and he said i had a great answer but the wrong question. what the grass roots activists are looking for such as common core --. >> this will happen over and over again and what it is, he is the knox knox frontrunner in terms of money and the media and we want the best race possible so we will keep going after that guy the media would go after hillary clinton if there were someone viable working against her. or if she let reporters 20 yards

near to her. >> that is what we will see. >> the media had a huge role in building him up. >> he is the frontrunner because we say so. >> he has this staffer and that staffer and he locked up these donors and he is outbidding marco rubio in florida so the media has done a lot to make him the frontrunner. >> i will say this, contrasted to the democratic front runner he is answering a lost questions and he is stumbling and maybe out of practice and not used to the twitter pace but he is not hiding from the press. >> this is a dress rehearsal. >> he is a bush. he --. ought voters are not paying attention to what going on.

but in a week or two we will be on a different can israel that no one can predict. >> it has been a long time since he has been on the campaign trail. over a decade. >> and it is starting to show. >> some are using this as a chance to relitigate iraq and talk about the anger many of them felt about george w. bush's decision and the republicans are saying it is clear new if you knew now what you know you would not have invaded. >> i hope to get president obama who called senator war en"elizabeth," a terrible slight but we are out of time. i remember senator boxer upset because a brigadier general called her "ma'am," rather than senator. >> next, verizon gobbles up aol and facebook cut as daily with "new york times" and nbc and

others. are they giving away too much to zuckerberg? stay tuned.

boy: once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. one day, it started to rain and rain. water got inside and ruined everybody's everythings. the house thought she let the family down. but the family just didn't think a flood could ever happen. the reality is floods do happen. protect what matters. get flood insurance. call the number on your screen to learn more.

big week on the digital front, as verizon swallows aol, including the "huffington post," and facebook launches a partnership with the like of "the new york times," nbc, the atlantic buzz feed and national geographic posting some articles directly on the website rather than directing them to the news outlet. joining us darryl isy. so what do you make of the kinds of stories that these norgsews organizations are putting on facebook to be read on facebook. >> it's so interesting, this week everyone thought it was the end of journalism and everybody thought it was big, bad facebook. and both sides, the media

outlets and facebook really really tripped over themselves to make it look like none of those doomsday scenarios were coming true. so on the facebook side they gave up huge concessions to the media publishers to look like hey, we're just trying to get more people to read your stuff at a quicker load time. nothing else nothing to see here. and on the publisher side they wanted their readers to know that they weren't all going to be quizzes. "the new york times,"",,"",," "national geographic," all of these publications put out very long cabal "j" journalism pieces with the exception of buzz feed to say, look we haven't changed at all. but what everyone knows watching this we've got to look a lot longer than a weak to see if all of the fears of all of these agreements is really going to come true. >> i'm skeptical, i think this is a chance for mark zuckerberg to turn it into one of the world's best news sites. but if you're "the new york times" or a lesser publication and people reading your stories

on facebook they never come to your site, yes, you get some mad revenue and recognition, but facebook down the line could change the terms and make it a lot more onerous and everybody will be trapped in zuckerberg's world. >> and facebook will change the terms. we know they will. they it rate on their terms and fees constantly. this is why facebook was comfortable giving up so much concessions to these guys going into it because now that they have this group of publishers they can strong arm all the other big publishers to coming in because they're going to use the fact that yurss see these stories quicker, so it's more user friendly to support them in the news feed, other than everyone else, and everyone else who relies on facebook for travel will have to follow suit and facebook will change the rules. and it's not that facebook is an evil company, but they're not a journalism company. they have this weird thing where they don't share the ethics of journalism companies in terms of you know, fact checking making sure something is in the public interest making sure it's the truth, but they have

the weird moralistic puritanical strain where they don't want certain images being showed on their site. if these president clintonublications don't think long-term, facebook will be a de facto editor controlling what people see or don't, they're dreaming. >> so brief answers, would you make a deal with facebook? >> like i said you know, we don't rely -- we're not a big mass media publication. we speak to a very small, very intelligent audience that we think really you know, moves money around tech and controls the world. so we don't rely on huge social stream and we don't rely on this fire hose coming -- >> you're doing your own thing. >> we might experiment with it but i wouldn't bet my business on it. >> so verizon buying aol, which includes "the huffington post," $4 billion deal. i'm reading all these business writers praising this for the synergy of buying a once glorious digital company, i'm thinking, what it doesn't make

any sense, and you wrote it. what do you think of the coverage of this takeover? >> it was bizarre. i think every once in a while in the financial press, we have these moments where people come out and say all this stuff and the deal is so weird that financial reporters and tech reporters frequently have to feel like oh, well i get it i get it. so they keep repeating what the company said. but you've got to step back and say, okay either i'm an idiot or you're all lying, because none of this made sense. everyone kept saying is you know this is about mobile video, mobile video, as if verizon woke up one day and thought, we need to dominate mobile video, get us aol. no one thinks aol when you think mobile video. >> nobody. we've got to go. >> it's ad technology. it's absurd. >> we've got to go. we've got to go. >> -- will be as big as google. >> you know what you've also got a lot of press for, aol being bought by time warner the worst corporate merger of all-time. >> all time. >> see you later.

david letterman hanging it up. an amazing career, but was it marred by that sex scandal. but first, president obama says he needs better media reporting to change the minds of john boehner and mitch mcconnell. brit hume has some thoughts on that. the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... using wellness to keep away illness... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care... by connecting every single part of it. for as the world keeps on searching for healthier... we're here to make healthier happen. optum. healthier is here. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome;

with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. now? can i at least put my shoes on? if your bladder is calling the shots ... you may have a medical condition called overactive bladder ... ...or oab you've got to be kidding me.

i've had enough! it's time to talk to the doctor. ask your doctor how myrbetriq may help treat... ...oab symptoms of urgency frequency, and leakage. which may mean fewer trips to the bathroom. myrbetriq (mirabegron) may increase your blood pressure. myrbetriq may increase your chances... ...of not being able to empty your bladder. tell your doctor right away if you have... ...trouble emptying your bladder or have a weak urine stream. myrbetriq may affect... ...or be affected by other medications... ...so tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. before taking myrbetriq, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. common side effects include increased blood pressure, common cold symptoms, urinary tract infection, and headache. take charge by talking to your doctor about your oab symptoms and myrbetriq. find out if you can get your first prescription at no cost by visiting myrbetriq.com

president obama assumed the role of media critic at a georgetown conference on poverty, making sure he wants a different kind of journalism. >> and so if we're going to change how john boehner and mitch mcconnell think, we're going to have to change how our body politics this is which means we're going to have to change how the media reports on these issues. and that's a hard process, because, that requires a much broader conversation than typically we have on the nightly

news. >> joining us now is brit hume fox's senior political analyst. let's start with a broad discussion. the president says we need better and deeper reporting on issues like poverty and the economy. haven't media critics have been saying that for years? >> for as long as i can remember and i've been in this business for almost 50 years, but we're a news media, right? and when all hell breaks loose in the inner city as it has recently in baltimore, you're going to get related coverage. >> everybody parachutes in. >> that's right. >> everybody says what are we going to do about urban poverty and racial tensions. >> and that triggers discussion segments to some length on chat shows and elsewhere. >> and then we all move on and a train crashes and we cover that. >> that's right. that's what we do. that's the nature of the news business. and he's not the first president or the first person to lament that but we're not in the business of convening seminars for the purpose of advancing the president's agenda on this or that issue, when they're not particularly in the news.

>> well, that brings me to that odd phraseology, when president obama says he wants a different kind of reporting, so he can change the minds of john boehner and mitch mcconnell. what does that say to you? >> well first of all, a big part of the job of a president is to find a way to work with people who disagree with him and to try to get something done. especially bad at this. i think he thinks their opinions are crazy and make no sense and therefore, there's no use trying to persuade them. the news media will try to change the atmosphere on the coverage. well some presidents have the ability to even do that. ronald reagan was able to do that occasionally, but not very often. it's hard to do as he suggests but -- i also think that he has a particularly viewpoint on these issues. where you never hear him suggest that the people who live in these terrible conditions are any any way responsible for that by the choices they make. >> i don't think that's entirely

fair because the president has talked about fatherless families and -- >> yes, he does. >> -- and the black culture. >> yes, but he speaks of it as -- on the one hand what he says is these conditions these conditions fatherless families broken homes, and the rest of it are a result of poverty and the conditions and not a cause of it. on the other hand he'll turn around and he did it in this presentation at georgetown and talk about how the statistics on poverty are wrong, because it doesn't include -- they don't include an array of benefits. on the one hand he's saying poverty's not all that bad, and on the other hand he's saying it's the cause of all these broken families. so you know, his own message is full of self-contradiction. >> one thing i think we'd agree on is that it's an important debate. and i would add, the media have done lots of substantiative reporting on obamacare, the va the secret service scandal that the administration hasn't liked. and also at the same time the president not giving the press as much access as previous administrations have done.

so we also have in this speech, where he's making a bipartisan appeal the president had a few words to say about fox news, take a look. >> and i think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don't want to work are lazy you know, are undeserving, got traction. i have to say, if you watch fox news on a regular basis, it is a constant menu they will find like folks who make me mad. i don't know where they find them. >> so then jon stewart and others followed up with clips of certain fox hosts and guests saying government programs make the poor lazy, the poor aren't that poor, because they have computers and cell phones these days. and i guess the president sees that as heartless. what do you think of him dragging fox in when he's doing this sort of bipartisan conference? >> well first of all, the idea

that -- first of all, i think there are more people of the kind that he says we point out than is willing to admit. the second thing is -- >> by which you mean people who don't particularly want to work? >> people who don't particularly want to work or who are badly >> this is a fox news alert in new york. at least nine people are dead and more are injured in a gunfight between a group of rival biker gangs near waco, texas. the fight break out just afternoon today outside a restaurant and quickly spill out into the parking lot. police say that armed officers and first responders are on the scene and the scene is "as secure as it could be possible right now." police are urging citizens to avoid the area until an "all clear," can be issued. we are working to determine what may have sparked the incident. according to a local d.a.

trouble among the rival gangs was brewing for some time at the twin peaks restaurant. of course, well keep you posted on any latest developments we get in the fox newsroom with full updates on the fox report at 7:00 eastern. right now we will get you back to "media buzz." >> what about abc which tells me he was in violation of the policies but he will still lead the campaign coverage in 2016 and say it is an honest mistake? >> they have a lot invested. abc, like the other major networks is gradually slowly but inevitably turning out the lights and they don't have the stars that used to populate the beams at the networks. they have a lot invested in him and there is a reason they want to keep him going as nbc did not want to see what happened to brian williams happen. >> i don't know this early endorsement and no punishment is going to work because not only did he contribute to the foundation without disclosing

it he was also active in participating in the foundation's events. he needed to cut his ties to the clintons. >> all the more so. >> because he was a spokesperson and so on. with this campaign, at this stage, for him to look like he has remaining ties to them and is part of their group is damaging to his credibility and you are hearing it everywhere. i think abc may have to take some further steps to overcome this problem. >> the story is not going away in my view. >> thanks for stopping by this sunday. >> bill cosby final asked on camera of the sexual assault allegations and one of the strangest interviews you have ever seen. and david letterman calling it quits, is the era of late night tv over and done with? in a work, work, work world...

[ female announcer ] stay strong, stay active with boost. david letterman was a quirky presence on nbc at 12:30 at night. and after losing ought on "the tonight show" to jay leno went up against him for cbs for a late show that was number two in the ratings, but that fans found edgier and mar satiric. as he steps down this weak some big names have been paying tribute. >> what will you do when you're not president? >> well i was thinking you and me we could play some dominos together and -- >> dominos! all right!

come here come here! no come here! come here and hug! >> no! >> i spoke earlier with "the hollywood reporter's" marissa guthrie in new york. >> marissa guthrie, welcome. >> thank you. >> how much did david letterman change late-night tv and did that approach grow a bit stale in recent years? >> before letterman, it's hard for some people to remember but before letterman, all of these late-night shows is were sort of pandering to hollywood and celebrity. and dave came along and he sort of stuck a pin in that helium balloon and blew that up. and made fun of celebrities and hollywood. and he would -- he is notorious for having these actors on and not really you know, letting them get away with coming there and just like spinning their

tired old story. he actually interviewed them and so a lot of them were afraid to go on, as a result. >> a lot of people now sticking pins in different celebrity guests. but looking at his political interviews whether it was barack obama or john mccain or that tasteless joke he told about one of sarah palin's kids particularly recently he has not done much to hide his liberal views. >> no. i think -- i mean i think that's been clear for a long time. you know which side of the aisle he came down on. and if it wasn't clear, it certainly became clear with that notorious interview with john mccain in the run-up to the election where john mccain canceled because he said he had to get back to washington but then he appeared on a news program and david letterman sort of called him out, and he was really really hard on john mccain. >> i loved his deal with jay leno for example, but was he also damaged -- a lot of people are singing his praises, and understandably he's had a great career but was he also damaged

by having sex with women who worked with him on show. he recently told "the new york times," would have been a good reason to fire me. >> yes. and other people probably would have been fired for something like that. i think dave -- the thing that he did a lot was sort of bring the audience into his psyche as it were and he did the same thing with that episode, when it all came out, because of the extortion plot. he had to admit that he slept with women who worked on the show that he was essentially their boss. and just went on and sort of made fun of it and made fun of himself. and then everyone sort of said okay yawn and that was it. >> just a comedian and all that. now, "the new york times" says a lot of late-night shows now are designed with lots of bits and skits, to generate clips that people increasingly watch online. so is the letterman era of having a more of a general variety show that you watch for a whole hour is that kind of fading now? >> oh, i think, definitely.

and i think, you know, in some of the interviews that dave has done recently you know, leading up to his last show this week he has talked about how the genera has changed and it is so much about the viral video, what can you do on the show that's going to go viral? and a lot of guests a lot of viewers do not watch the show on linear television. they watch the bits that are posted on youtube or posted on the network websites. >> i'm really hoping that this segment goes viral. i have about a half a minute. stephen colbert taking over shedding his buffoonish persona from comedy central. can he hold that audience? >> yeah, i think so. i mean i think a lot of people forgot or didn't know that stephen colbert was a very talented stand-up a very talented mimic, very talented impressionist, because he's been doing the same character for 14 years. and so i think he'll have no problems slidinge inging right into that time slot. >> when he starts we'll have you back and give him a report

card. thank you very much for stopping by. >> thank you. after the break, bloomberg's mark halperin asks ted cruz about his favorite cuban food and music. you've got to see this. and cnn grills seymore hirsch over his charges that the administration's description of osama [announcer:] what if one stalk of broccoli could protect you from cancer? what if one push up could prevent heart disease?

verdict. veteran political analyst co-author of game change conducted an interview with ted cruz that set the internet ablaze. it focussed on the texas

governor's comfort. >> i grew up eating cuban food all the time. >> your favorite dish? >> we had plantains and beans and rice. >> you like cuban music? a favorite cuban singer? >> in that, i'm much orf a texan. >> can you do it in spanish? >> i'm going to stick to english but i appreciate the invitation. >> he's a smart guy. just local on this. he obviously was trying to expose his fake hispanic especially when he asked him to speak in spanish knowing he's not fluent. he was right to apologize for his tone and inappropriate questions and ted cruz is pretty savvy in graciously accepting rather than whining.

>> this is based on mostly shadowing of resources, a veteran reporter makes a charge that the pakistanis knew where osama bin laden was hiding and obliterated the body. how did they handle giving her issue a platform? >> the basic headline here is pakistan knew where he was. they were keeping him there and one of their own turned him ore, specially to the u.s. why do you believe that story, especially leaning so heavily on just one anonymous source? >> well i don't think that's correct to say one anonymous source. the story says that i was able to vet and verify information with others in the community. >> i'm just saying you've made a big wager with a ped gri that -- >> excuse me. that's your definition. this is not a wamger. >> chris cuomo was skeptical. he had an amazing career.

this story reads like a wild conspiracy theory. it is based on two exintelligence officials. one of them didn't seem to have firsthand knowledge. no you'd have to believe that the president, seal team six, all of them are lying about what happened when bin laden was killed. still to come your top tweets. tom brady's suspension and bill cosby's strange and rambling response to the sexual assault allegations.

sal khan: khan academy is a not-for-profit, with a mission of providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere. if you look at a khan academy video, they can cover everything from basic arithmetic to calculus, trigonometry, finance. you can really just get what you need at your own pace. and so, bank of america came and reached out to us and said 'we are really interested in making sure that everyone really understands personal finance.' and we're like 'well, we're already doing that.' and so it was kind of a perfect match. >> sports pundits have debated if the nfl was too harsh in suspending tom brady for four games and now he is appealing. all media are local the new york post had a "ball busted," but the hometown "herald," nfl airheads punishment does not fit the crime. >> should abc punish

stephanopolis for not disclosing the clinton foundation donations? >> abc does not need to punish him if environmentals know he is not impartial. gary any story he does involving the election gives the appearance looks lie bias. he should be pulled. >> also, one from the jeb bush segment, the media were very mean spirited regarding jeb bush this week and not impressed. >> it looked like bill cosby might break the silence of the 30 women who have accused him of sexual assault and then this happened. >> okay, listen to me carefully. i'm telling you where the road is out. now, you want to go here? or you want to be concerned about who is giving you the

message? >> are you concerned at all that given the allegations that may overshadow your message? >> i have been in this business 52 years and i will -- i have never seen anything like this. reality is a situation and i cannot speak. >> one of strangest television moments i have ever seen and as someone would grew up laughing with him i have to say really, by is that the best you can do? you oh us an actual response to the awful allegations. that is it for "media buzz," i am howard kurtz we hope you luke our facebook page, we post a lot of original content. you might get a response from me. also check out or podcast and
