can you see what he is even doing? >> if i am eating key lime pie i am taking my time. >> now we need to get a pie. >> let's do that. "media buzz," is up next. have a great week, everybody. >> on the buzz beater, i talked to donald trump about seizing the media spotlight taking on the press and the pundits. >> i believe in punching back. those are people i did not think have treated me fairly. >> taking on nbc where he started on "apprentice." >> they protect brian williams who went out lying and telling things that were not so and he should not be on probably. >> and challenging way high is portrayed by the mainstream media. >> suddenly i am a racist? i an not a racist. i don't have a racist bone in my body. >> have news organizations underestimated the billionaire? my sit down with the donald.

>> hillary clinton's campaign is playing rope a dope with the press. is she determined to keep them at a distance? most of the media embracing legalization of gay marriage and the crusade against the confederate flag. are they marginalizing those who disagree as bigots? >> conservative americans are demoralized as they see the supreme court siding with the left and the national news media promoting liberal causes each day. >> if we had five stages of grief for red state america after enduring a weak of the biggest liberal victories in not eastern american history it would appear that deep broad states are still toggling between denial and anger. >> and facebook blocks a website from reporting an investigative report over a single bad word. does zuckerberg's empire have too much power? i am howard kurtz and this is

"media buzz." donald trump has dominated the coverage of the presidential race this past week, first nbc dump him over comments of mexican immigrants and now nascar and macy's have done the same and he is suing univision for $500 million and urging the public to not shop at macy's. fox news producer was in new hampshire yesterday. >> governor romney weighed in on donald trump's comments. [ inaudible ] is he hurting the republican party? >> he is drawing attention which is the organizing principle of the campaign and to inflame and he does not represent the republican party or its values. >> we will hear from donald

trump but joining us is jim geraghty and christina bellantoni and mara liasson. >> for them, this is a three for. it take as complicated story accident united states really get benefits from mass largely unscaled illegal immigration and takes that away and turns it to an individual. do you like truck or not? is he racist? and then it pains the republican party as racists. clearly he speaks for every republican. and you get to go to jeb bush, say, why don't you fight? take the figures and make them bash into each other and get the destruction of the primary started >> the media have a history of why not go fight christina but jeb bush put out a mild statement about donald trump and this is more than a week ago but reporters asked about a

candidate, again and again and again, are they prodding the candidates to raise the level to make news? >> of course. we are trying to make the race more interesting. one thing about donald trump he is interesting to cover. the candidates are treating him as if he is a political threat, because he is. you can see the poll numbers that we study and people know who he is. what is interesting is the candidates are allowing the media to do this when you could say, here is someone with no political experience and here is mine. that is the standard deflection of a candidate you are trying to dismiss. to get into this and try to take him down when you know it will come up again in a debate and then you will have to be responding and potentially if you win the primary how you will have to moderate when you are in a general election. >> no one is forcing the candidates to answer the questions in a certain way. trump put out a statement last night, and jeb bush proves he is out of touch with the american people says donald, and doesn't understand anything about the border and said immigrants

should come here, they come out of the love and said jeb is mischaracterizing my statements to inflame. the front page of the "washington post" said trump's rhetoric is proving to be dangerously toxic for the g.o.p.? >> i have been thinking about the story that i have done about what i was thinking in my head. first of all the republican party has a long-standing well documented by the rnc problem with hispanics. they need to reach out. donald trump is now number two in the polls nationally, iowa and new hampshire and said outrageous things and big big marketers have dropped him. why? because hispanics are one of the most segments, market segments. so in my story i say you know what, he is republican. the other candidates should comment on this. because of the party's problems, because of the prominence he has at the moment.

however, you raise a good point because i have been rethinking it all week. maybe he is just a clown. maybe he is a big guy that has nothing do with the republican party but i think if the republicans wanted to make a moment out of it and differentiate themselves they could have, they did some of them, in a mild way. >> i am not saying he is a clown but he is not an established republican and raises the question whether everyone should be forced to comment on this. >> he will stand on the debate stage with the other candidates. they will have to comets on it one way or the other. >> he will be in the top ten. >> when grayson running for the house of representatives in florida, does anyone run to hillary clinton and say what do you think about what grayson says? does that represent something bad? you never get those questions for democrats. >> that is the question that rollcall would ask but you see hickening forced to move to the

left by things that bernie sanders is saying. >> we will come back to donald trump and the way he and other republicans are covered. i want to talk about the scene in new hampshire yesterday. talk about rope a dope. here are reporters followinger in the fourth of july parade, the rope line keeping moving as reporters are literally fenced in by her campaign aides and a journalist not upset about this was nbc's kelly o'donnell. >> hillary clinton is walking help between the ropes that is used to keep people moving, to keep the pace. [ inaudible ] >> the symbolism is not great there? >> of cosmonaut. it is like you are keeping the press penned in. however, you are covering president obama at the iowa state fair, for example in 2007 and that was not only a circus but voters are turned off by it. if you are the campaign and you

recognize there are on people around you big cameras knocking into people and you cannot see the candidate or get a picture or ask a question you don't want that optic. this is not the optic you want. especially when it reinforces that people thing you are not talking to the press. >> to be fair, i have been proposed off at a lot of campaign events but never one that was moving. now, what has dominated the news since the security ruling. are the liberals happy on the supreme court of gay marriage, and public turning against the confederate flag and how cable news handled this. >> folks say how can you deny him the right to marry the person he loves? >> no one denies him the right to live as they please, living with one another and for christians evangelicals who follow the bible this is not an issue that can be negotiated

away >> the religious base is gearing up for world war iii. are you worried about our religion by rush limbaugh? >> i am not worried about the state outlawing religion. >> what message is the overall media coverage saying to people who happen to oppose gay marriage which is 40 percent of the we country? >> someone sailed we believe in a number of issues there are not two sides and that perspective is fine but do not pretend to be objective but on this issue the press has decided one side is illegitimate, one perspective is evil. the only neutral on different issues sharia law isis, the castro regime in cuba, will not say one side is illegal but if you oppose two men or two women getting married we call that evil.

>> some conservatives including fox, do they push a narrative that this could threat were religious freedom and lead to polygamy? >> there is overreaction. the supreme court is important. it tells you what the law of the land is. marriage equality, same-sex marriage whatever you california it is the law of the land. conservatives have to adjust if there are examples where people are forced to do things that are against their religious beliefs there will be a big controversy. >> this is not about what i think about marriage, it is what i think about balanced journalism and i cannot remember where i felt the come has been so one-sided for a position that until three years ago president obama held and until two years ago hillary clinton held they were for traditional marriage. >> you can see in your facebook so many turning their profile picture rainbows and journalists and i worked for

pbs news, we said you present both sides of an issue every single topic. two years ago when the doma decision came down it was difficult to find anyone who would span on the opposition of gay marriage on division because people had said to us, we understand we have lost this argument. we are not going to go out there and stand by it. that is a reason can the media coverage is bias because it is more difficult to present that side because people are not willing to stand up and say when you try to find statements there are a handful here and there and you can find protesters outside the court but it is difficult even for the leaders in congress are saying, well, i don't agree but they will not go out there. >> can you re-run the foot average of president obama telling rick warren he believes marriage is between a man and a woman. >> settled law and settled beliefs, do we have a white supremacist on every time we talk about a civil rights issue? no.

>> we have gay marriage and we have the movement led by republican governor haley to take down the confederate flag, and bruce jenner becoming caitlyn jenner. some are offended. do you feel if you are on the opposite side, that people feel marginalized by the media? >> 55 percent of the american people support and 30 percent or 40 percent oppose. you compared 30 percent to 40 percent to white supremacist saying it was on par of that, why do we have to --. >> i am saying at some point just pick up on christina's comment where it is hard to find people on the or side, at some point public opinion tips so far --. >> but 30 percent to 40 percent --. >> it has tipped that far in civil rights. it wasn't hard to find people who were opposed to the supreme court decision, there everyone plenty running for president on

the republican party. >> is there an implication mara, in the tone and coverage if you are on the other side, particularly gay marriage, that you are a bigot? >> that would be...yes. there is that. but it would be bad. >> part of the great thing about this country you are allowed to feel however you want to feel, you can talk about it. the media needs to show that. >> we have agreement. send me a tweet to weigh in on donald trump and the other subjects including gay marriage. ahead, my exclusive conversation with donald trump and why is he denouncing the pundits he does not like? chris christie jumps into the presidential race. most of the press is practically writing him off. s. it's a clear, taste-free daily supplement that's clinically proven to help

have been indicted but it was found by a couple investigations he had no advance knowledge. this was addressed with shannon bream on "fox news sunday." >> they say he didn't do anything but created an atmosphere. that's what the liberal media does rather than say i'm sorry which is what they should say. >> the media should say to new jersey governor we're sorry? >> i think msnbc going all bridgegate for a solid month probably deserves an apology. christie defense is look i had nothing to do with this. i just hired terrible people who have terrible judgment and like to imprison kids on school buses. i had nothing to do with that. terrible judgment in selecting staff. the reason christie is largely overlooked when ted cruz announced he was running, it feels like a year since then he got a good week of coverage. then marco rubio got a good week of coverage and rand paul got a good week of coverage.

facebook is powerful for news outlets trying to generate online traffic in trying to promote an investigative story on google trying to harass homeless people in los angeles. facebook refused to run what the website had submitted. joining us now from san francisco is sarah lacy. so a little paid promotion on facebook is crucial because otherwise your story never gets into many people's news feeds. how did your folk find out why

facebook turned you down? >> well it was interesting. we only do paid promotion on facebook when a story is resonating heavily on facebook. what was sort of encouraging after all of this about facebook being a hub of journalism this was a long form investigative story about google and homeless resonating with millennials on facebook let's throw money behind it and get more in front of them. our ad was rejected for profanity even though there was no profanity in our ad. >> that's what struck me. some of them might have been robots opposed to talking to an actual person. in the story some of these homeless people were quoted as using the f-word and other bad language. what was the word that set facebook off? >> it was the b word and i'm

only allowed to say it once. i'll reserve it for saying it. facebook those bastards. >> you were not pleased with the fact -- you eventually did talk to somebody and you got the ad on. does this raise the question -- >> frankly, we weren't getting an answer. we wrote back several times saying there's no profanity in this ad and weren't getting an answer and only reason that ultimately they green lit the ad is because we're silicon valley publication and we wrote about it. if we were a different kind of publication, i don't know if he ever would have got an answer to what word it was. >> so this suggests to me that maybe mark zuckerberg's empire is difficult to deal with and hard to get an answer from and as it becomes a conduit for journalism why should some mid level staffer at facebook saying you can't use that word in a story. that's chilling to me.

>> it's not even mid level staffers. it's low level staffers and robots and god knows who. the problem is it's just opaque. it's not that facebook is good or evil or doesn't have the right to do this as a private company. it's that it's opaque. if they want to be this hub of journalism and increasingly want outlets publishing directly on facebook and increasingly want to say they stand for and encourage real journalism why don't they tell you what the offending word is so you don't do it again or you make that decision not to be on facebook. and given how many people are getting their news this way, it's a little bit scary. i mean, there's a lot of unpleasant things that we see in the news that change the world around us and demand change. the most famous example was photos coming back from the vietnam war. if the media cannot get sensitive and borderline disturbing truths out to readers, it's not a great world. >> i don't think it should be up to facebook. before you go you just recently

business with you anymore. >> we had a great season last season with "the apprentice." we did well. they were unhappy when i ran because when you run you're not allowed to do a show. so they were not happy with me i will tell you that. when they saw the last week or two the poll numbers so strong one called me and said you're not getting out any time soon are you? they renewed the "the apprentice." they thought i would do it. i can't do that. i want to make the country great again. i can't do that if i'm doing "the apprentice." >> on mexican comments why not say maybe i went too far? poor choice of words or even i'm sorry. >> i don't have to say that. look the mexican border is a sieve. people are pouring into our country. we don't know who they are, where they are, they come from all over the world. not mexicans. i employ thousands of mexicans.

i've employed many thousands of mexicans. they're fantastic. everybody knows that. in terms of the border it's a disgrace. either we have a border or we don't have a country. you can't have a country without borders. people are coming in and some of those people -- i read it even yesterday there was a huge article about the tremendous crime that's taking place. it's like a crime wave. one of the most dangerous places on earth. and i bring that up all of a sudden i'm a bad person. >> phil says you're a frankenstein mondayserster that never apologizes for what you say. >> he also said i'm here to say. that's interesting. mexico is killing us on trade. i mean killing us. rapists are coming in. i'll show you an article done -- if you're not disputing it why not say it. >> your tone offended a lot of people. >> i read an article yesterday from "fusion" owned by univision talking about women that cross

the border are being raped. many of them. a tremendous percentage. 80%. that's hard to believe it could be 80%. they said the women coming across the border are raped. this is done by "fusion" printed in "the huffington post" no friend of mine and i use the word rape and everyone goes crazy. it says 80% of the women -- hard to believe to be honest with you -- so i can never apologize for the truth. i don't mind apologizing for things. i can't apologyize for the truth. i said tremendous crime is coming across. everybody knows that's true. it's happening all the time. when i mention crime, i'm a racist? i'm not a racist. i don't have a racist bone in my body. >> i think over the years the press has been good to you as you build your reputation. i wonder if you are used to the intense scrutiny that comes with being a presidential candidate.

him and he's saying what they think. >> having covered him in new york i knew that day he would get more coverage than you seemed to anticipate. what did you think of the interview especially the way that trump doubled and tripled down on mexican immigrant remarks and ripped nbc and brian williams. >> congratulations on getting donald trump to come out of his shell. what makes him successful as a candidate and has republicans worried, is he is a hyperbolic tv interview. it's natural to be concerned about whether we have a secure border. is it good for our economy? things like that. are these trade deals good for us? a lot of economic anxiety out here. this guy has made it on a scale -- half of new york skyline has trump written all over it. the man has his own line of ties and mattresses and board game. >> mattresses aren't going to be

sold anymore and trump cologne no longer sold by macy's. he has an appeal as a self-made businessman but the tone of coverage in media doesn't reflect it and paints a guy who is a bomb thrower and extremists. >> he plays into that just as much. think about the television show "survivor." the jerk is the one they love following around on camera and sometimes that person ends up winning the million dollars. this is the game he's playing. and so media is playing right into that. we like covering it. he knows that and he's using the press to get as much of his name out there as possible. if you took any one of those statements he said i've been a successful business person and you put me against an unsuccessful governor and if you poll people and say who said that? that makes sense. >> does it help or hurt trump when he goes after journalists by name? i read a few of them. clowns.

losers. fools. george will and charles, two people he went after because they criticized him, they are pulitzer prize winners. >> i'm sure it would up my twitter following but we should never call anybody names and journalists who cover him should try to cover him fairly no matter what he says. we get called bad names all the time. >> bashing individuals is different. >> i think he's free to do if he doesn't like what somebody did. it also you were alluding to this, it plays into -- he knows that in itself will generate coverage and journalists will respond some of them and it's more and more news cycles which brings me to the which he has just dominated the news in the last week or so. and so the conventional media wisdom is this was a bad week for trump. "the washington post" gave him the worst week in washington award.

by pushing back hard and making the media the issue, i think all of that helps him. >> sure. all of that helps him. i think that he's going to stay where he is. he's number two. i didn't see anything about this week that would make him go down from that in the republican electorate. >> there are republicans who believe one of the biggest problems in this country is media is way more interested in what jenner is doing or confederate flag than opm hack in which the chinese government has information about all federal employees everywhere. >> donald trump is paying close attention to the media landscape, which shows that he is taking this campaign

seriously. >> he has hit it on the head early, the way in which he, really is kind of a brilliant marketer whether you agree with the policies or not and whether you think he is a good president. when he, whether attacking the media or using the media or playing defense to the media by trying to make nbc our univision the issue journalists can scoff or dismiss but look who is getting the headlines and look at all of the other candidates responding. >> or trying not to. >> the steve schmidt said it is like wrestling with the big they both get dirty but the big likes it. that is the problem with taking on donald trump. >> we will see how much more publicity that donald trump can get. >> thank you all for join us here today. and the e-mails on hillary clinton and the press and the media war over a sex tape, and
