click on channel finder at fox business to get more. on the buzz beater this sunday i talk to donald trump about seizing the media spotlight, taking on the press and the pundits. >> i do punch back. i believe in punching back. those are people that i believe haven't treated me fairly. >> taking on nbc where he starred on the "apprentice" for dumping him. >> they protected brian williams and he went around lying and i think he shouldn't be on. >> and challenging the way he's portrayed by the mainstream media. >> all of a sudden i'm a racist. i'm not a racist. i don't have a racist bone in my body. >> have news organizations underestimated the billionaire?

my exclusive sitdown with the donald and hillary clinton's campaign, is they determined to keep the press at a distance? most of the media embracing the legalization of gay marriage but are they marginalizing those who disagree as bigots? >> conservatives americans find them demoralized as they see the supreme court siding with the left and national news media promoting liberal causes on a regular basis. >> if we use five stages of grief after a week of some of the biggest liberal victories in modern american history, it would appear that deep red states are still toggling between denial and anger. >> plus facebook blocks a website from promoting an investigative report over a single bad word. does mark zuckerberg's empire have too much power? i'm howard kurtz and this is

"mediabuzz." donald trump has dominated the coverage of the presidential race this past week. first trump was dumped over his comments about immigrants and now trump is suing univision and urging the public to boycott macy's. they say this is a damaging story for the gop or keep asking republican candidates to comment on trump. as our fox news producer did yesterday in new hampshire. >> governor rommieney weighed in today and said it hurt the republicans. do you think it hurt the republican party? >> doing this to inflame and to incite and to draw attention which seems to be his organizing principle of this campaign. and it doesn't represent the republican party or its values. >> we'll hear from trump later.

joining us now, jim and christina. jim, are the media turning a donald trump probablylem with hispanic to a republican party problem? >> it takes a complicated issue. does the u.s. get benefits from illegal immigration and take away that and talk about an individual. do you like donald trump or not? is he racist or not? then of course look at what donald trump said. he speaks for every republican and you getting too to jeb bush and say why don't you guys go fight. take the figures and make them back into each other and get destructive part of the republican presidential party started as quickly as possible. >> they have a long history of go fight. jeb bush put out a mild statement. this is more than a week ago. when reporters ask a candidate

about something again and again and again are they trying to make noise? >> donald trump is interesting to cover. candidates treat him as if he's a political threat. people know who he is. what's interesting to me is candidates are allowing the media to do this when you could just say here's someone with no political experience and here's mine. that's sort of the standard deflection of a candidate you're trying to dismiss and so to get into this and then try to take him down a peg when you know it will come up again in a debate and then you're going to have to respond and if you win that primary how you're going to have to moderate once you're in a general election. >> nobody is forcing these candidates to ask these journalistic questions in a certain way. trump put out a statement last night. jeb bush proves he's out of touch with the american people says donald. doesn't understand anything about the border. he says immigrants should come here. they come here out of love and

finally he says jeb is mischaracterizing my statements to inflame. trump's outlandish rhetoric is proving to be dangerously toxic for the gop. but why? >> i did a story this week and i've been thinking a lot now that i have to comment on the press 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 to them. along comes donald trump who is now as you said number two in the polls nationally iowa and new hampshire, and he says outrageous things which offend hispanics to the point where big, big marketers drop him. why? because hispanics are one of the most important segments market segments and so in my story i say, you know what? he's a republican. other candidates should comment on this. and because of the party's problems, because of the prom prominence he has at the moment.

however, you raise a good point. i've been rethinking it all week. maybe he's just a clown. maybe he's just a big guy that has nothing to do with the republican party. i think if republicans want to make a moment out of it differentiate themselves from him they could have they did, some of them in a mild way. >> i'm not saying he's a clown. i'm saying he's not an established republican. i raise the question about whether everybody should have forced a comment on this. >> he'll stand on a debate stage with other candidates. they'll have to comment one way or another. >> if he's in the top ten. >> he will be. >> when alanit represents bad for the democratic party? you never get those questions for democrats. >> that's the question roll call would ask when you cover senate races. you are seeing hillary clinton

forced to move to the left by some things bernie sanders said. >> we'll come back to trump and the way he and other republicans are covered. i want to talk about this scene in new hampshire yesterday. we'll put it up in a big box. talk about rope a dope. here are reporters following her in a fourth of july parade. you can see the rope line keeps moving as reporters are being literally fenced in by her campaign aides. one journalist who was not particularly upset about this was nbc's kelly o'donnell. let's take a look. >> walking at more of an aerobic pace and this rope is used to keep people moving to keep that pace. >> the symbolism not great there. >> of course not. it's like you're keeping the press penned in. i will play devil's advocate here. covering barack obama at the iowa state fair in 2007 that was not only a circus but voters are turned off by it. if you're the campaign and you

recognize you have 500 people around you and big cameras knocking into people and you can't even see the candidate or get a picture or ask a question you don't want that optic. that's not the optic you want either especially when it reinforces that people think you're not talking to the press. >> to be fair i've been roped off at lots and lots of campaign events but never seen one that was actually moving. let me turn to what has dominated the news since the supreme court move. liberals pretty happy, ecstatic some would say over the ruling on gay marriage legal in all 50 states. the ruling on obamacare. public opinion turning against the confederate flag and let's look at how cable news handled some of 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 and evangelicals and those that follow the bible, this is not an issue that can be negotiated away.

>> the religion base sounds like it's gearing up for world war iii on this issue. are you worried about our religion being outlawed? >> i'm not worried about the state outlawing religion. >> what message is overall media coverage send to people who oppose gay marriage? >> earlier this week ben smith told his old employer politico we believe on a number of issues there are not two sides. if you want to be that kind of a perspective, that's fine. don't pretend to be unbiassed. but they have decided that one perspective is evil. we're not going to take a side on the castro issue. on the issue of if you oppose two men getting married or two men getting married, we'll call that out as evil. >> on the other hand are some conservatives including here on

fox pushing a narrative that the supreme court ruling could threaten religious freedom and lead to legal polygamy and other slippery slope. >> first of all, the supreme court is important. it tells you what the law of the land is. marriage equality same-sex marriage whatever you want to call it is now the law of the land and conservatives will have to adjust if there are examples where people are forced to do things against their religious beliefs, there will be big controversy about it. >> you know this is not about what i think about marriage. it's what i think about balanced journalism. i can't remember another time in my career where i felt that coverage has been so one sided for a position that until three years ago barack obama held and until two years ago hillary clinton held which is they were for traditional marriage. >> you can see this even in your own facebook feed. so many people turning their profile picture rainbows. when i worked at pbs news hour

one thing we always did was present both sides of an issue every single topic. two arizona ago when the doma decision came down it was incredibly difficult to find anyone who would speak on the opposition of gay marriage on television because people had said to us we understand we have lost this argument. no matter what happens, we won't stand by it. that's one reason the media coverage is bias. it's more difficult to present that side because people aren't willing to stand up and say it. when you try to find statements there's a handful here and there. protesters outside of the court but it's a difficult thing. even leaders in congress say i don't agree with it. it should be state's rights but they won't make this their issue. >> rerun the footage of obama telling rick warren that marriage is between a man and a woman. >> do we have a white

supremacist on every time we talk? no. >> we have a movement led by the south carolina governor to take down the confederate flag and bruce jenner becoming caitlyn jenner. if you are on the opposite side of all these questions, do you feel that some people feel marginalized by the media culture and the way these are approached? >> the polling for gay marriage is saying about 55% of the american people support it and 30% are opposing it. you compared that to white supremacists. >> it's hard to find people on the other side. at some point public opinion tips so far -- >> why is it so hard -- >> it's tipped that far in civil rights. you know what? it wasn't hard to find people who were opposed to the supreme court decision. there were plenty of them running for president on the

republican party. >> is there an implication in the tone of the coverage that if you are on the other side of this question particularly gay marriage that you are a bigot? >> there's no doubt there is that. that would be very bad. >> part of the great thing about this country is that you're allowed to feel however you want to feel. we do have freedom of speech. the media needs to show people and the way they feel about things. >> i think we have agreement on that last point. send me a tweet and weigh in on trump and these other subjects. gay marriage. we'll read some of them later. ahead, my coverage with donald trump. why does he keep denouncing pundits he doesn't like and when we come back chris christie jumps into the presidential race and most of the press practically writing him off.

there was a time when chris christie was the media's favorite republican but when he announced this week pundits found a different way of saying he has a snow ball's chance in hell. >> you'll get what i think whether you like it or not or whether it makes you cringe every once in a while or not. >> a lot of your fellow republicans urged you to run and you declined. some of those republicans now look and go that was his

moment. do you worry that you can't capture that again? >> the most important thing in 2011 and '12, i was not ready to be president. >> i love the diner interview. so a couple years ago media was hailing this guy as brash and now the attitude? >> i'm thrilled he's in the race. he's interesting to cover kind of like trump but it's about actual human beings and how they interact with these candidates and chris christie is good with human beings. whatever state he's going to go in voters like meeting him. the press is going to continue to cover him this way and democrats are going to try to make this a huge deal. he has plenty of scandal to follow. he certainly has a path to the nomination and should be treated more seriously. >> three of christie's aides

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.

what are we up to 9,000? 8,000? it's a crowd now. >> that's less important. when scott walker officially announces he'll get respect and coverage. >> because he's polling number one in iowa. chris christie is under water in his own state. >> 30% approval in his own state. christie says they're not happy that i'm running for another job. it's fair to factor that in. obviously he's not the formidable force he would have been had he one last time or had scandal not happen. do you agree that the media are kind of acting like he's just going to be a polyp?blip? >> it's fair to point out their position but at this point with 20 and counting presidential candidates on the republican side is wrong to write anybody off. >> don't forget john mccain. the press wrote him off multiple times and he won the nomination in 2008? >> we'll see you later in the program.

up next facebook blocks a website from promoting an investigative story because it didn't like the language. later, going one-on-one with the donald as he declares war on nbc and thumbs his nose at pundits that give him little chance as a candidate. >> a while ago they said he'll never run and he'll never file papers and i did that and now they don't know what to say.

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 switched from a free site to a subscription model and in calling out bad actors in silicon valley you don't want dependent on advertising revenue or participation in conferences from the very industry you're covering which is sort of the situation with some of your competitors. is that part of your thinking? you want to have some independence? >> yeah. look we said to our readers we're a hybrid site. we don't have a pay wall. we unlock certain articles. our traffic has increased. it hasn't gone down with this change. ultimately there's a saying in silicon valley either readers or customers or users are either your product or your customer and ultimately we want readers to be our customer and not our product. >> all right. good to see you again. thank you for joining us. >> thanks howie. >> ahead, new batch of hillary e-mails revealing how she worked

the press behind the scenes and who is sucking up and first donald trump surging into second place. why is the press underestimating

first the pundits scuffed at the notion that donald trump would run for president. >> he's obviously never going to be the republican nominee for president and he's obviously never going to be a candidate

for president. >> not quite so obvious. commentators scuffed at his chances but the billionaire has done self-style experts and i sat down with him at his trump towers in new york. you're at second place in the polls. ari fleischer calls you roadside accident. he tarnishes everyone. hurtful. does that hurt your feelings? >> ari is someone that no one has respect for. i'm number two. i'm doing well. i'm going up. and people take me very seriously and they call me and they want to meet with me at the top level of the republican party and frankly i'm the one that's going to bring back health to the country and make america great again. politicians aren't going to do that. everybody takes me very seriously. >> you are constantly denouncing some journalists that write about you and talk about you.

unprofessional and bias you say. chuck todd, a real loser. dumb as a rock. george will a total dope. overrated clown. i don't think you really believe that. they criticize you and your instinct is to punch back. >> i do punch back. i believe in punching back. those are people that i don't think treated me fairly. a while ago they said he'll never run. he'll never file papers. i filed papers and now they don't know what to say and then i get these really big poll numbers and they are really good although i think they'll go higher because i really think people agree with what i'm saying at the border and just agree with me period. >> is there a payoff there in picking fights with not so popular media? >> it's not a payoff. i like people that treat me well. i don't have to be treated perfectly. i just want to be treated fairly. they were unfair. they don't call me or mention

anything. they were acting like this must be a mistake. i built a massive company. i've had number one best sellers. i've had the art of the deal which is the biggest big book of all time. i had tremendous success on "the apprentice." i was good student at one of the hardest schools in the world to get into and they treat it like why is he here? >> nbc severing its relationship with you over comments you made on mexican immigrants. why did you drag brian williams into it? >> brian williams went around lying and telling things that weren't so and i think probably he shouldn't be on. that's up to him. i think he shouldn't have done it to be honest. he should have gone some place else. it was something i thought was appropriate. you can bring up other names, too. >> does it tarnish you that this network that you partnered with so successfully with over the years now says it's preserving its dignity by not doing

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 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.

>> i've been out here a long time doing this. >> what about when people run stories about your business background and say -- i know you say you used law to reduce your corporate debt. >> i made a fortune in atlantic city. i did fant aftasticfantastically. i left seven years ago. i used the laws just like leon black, just like karl icahn and just like everyone else but when i use bankruptcy laws i use them to my advantage. i'll buy a deal and throw it into bankruptcy immediately and negotiate a great deal with the banks and everything else and when other people do it they don't mention it. when i do it they say he used bankruptcy laws. i did a great job. i made a fortune in atlantic city. i left and actually the financial media gave me great credit for timing because i left atlantic city seven years ago. >> more of my conversation with donald trump in a moment

including his view on gay marriage, his own marriages and his net worth.

>> every other republican presidential candidate criticized the ruling of supreme court on gay marriage. you said they overreached. >> we have problems in this country and have to get back to work. i would have preferred states make the decision. they made the decision. most of the candidates have said they did make the decision. a couple out there firmly that we'll fight it and i would have preferred if it were made by the states the decision i thought maybe that's what would have happened. a 50-50 call. >> you won't spend a lot of time on this issue. >> it's an issue determined by

the supreme court. frankly, i'm about jobs and making the country great. i would have liked to have seen the decision differently. you have another decision obamacare which is a disaster given to us by john roberts appointed by bush who was bushed by jeb bush. jeb bush is the one that pushed john roberts into that position. when i look at the most militant on the whole gay rights decision the most militant people are saying there's nothing you can do because they are talking about constitutional amendments and they say that could never happen. so at a certain point you have to be realistic about it. >> what if this gets really personal? i live in new york in early '90s when tabloids went haywire over your breakup and relationships and this gets dredged up and people say trump isn't a good role model. >> i've had an amazing life and built an amazing business.

>> you are underestimating your worth? >> there was a case where in iowa where "the des moines register" did a story where i said i have stores worth more than mitt romney jokingly. the reporter says can i use that? i said it off the record. then they actually used it. i don't care use it. the next day they do a story that trump exaggerated. they went and did a value on the store and the value on the store was many times -- gucci store downstairs and they apologized to me. >> when you run for president, everything is fair game. you're judged on more than your net worth or business success. >> what this country needs and the reason i am doing well is because i know how to make things better and make things work. i have taken businesses that are a disaster and made them work. i will use laws and i'll use all sorts of things. whatever it takes, i make them work. whether it's the skating rink in

central park which was a disaster and i made phenomenal or whether it's the golf course in the bronx under construction perhaps for 31 years, nobody even knows when it started, i took it over and got it done almost immediately and the great jack nicholas said maybe without trump it never would have been built. >> some say that trump will take up space on that debate stage and it could go to someone else who might win the presidency? >> i think i would have as good a chance as anybody for winning. i think people are tired of politicians. they are all talk and no action. that's what's happening. >> as president you have to deal with other -- >> look i built a great company. go to the best school. do great. number one bestseller. and numerous best sellers. tremendous success on television. and then i don't belong on the stage with some governor that did a horrible job or a senator that did a horrible job? explain that to me. why? because i'm not a politician. people are tired of politicians and tired of all talk and no

action and nothing gets done whether it's irs or benghazi or hillary's e-mails. they talk. i'm talking about -- i'm a conservative republican. i'm talking about conservative republicans. they talk. great indignation for one day and it's forgotten about. nothing ever happens. >> you have been quoted as saying you have a 10% chance of success. not great odds. as a business deal you wouldn't do it. >> i don't know what my chances are. somebody asked me that. 10%, 20%, i'm not saying it's a lock. i have something that works. i have the expression i'm going to make our country great again and make america great again and do something and create jobs and take jobs back from china and take jobs back from mexico. mexico is the new china. mexico is killing us. what are we doing? we're losing our base. our gnp is less than zero. that means we're getting smaller. all of these other countries are growing like weeds. >> presidents don't run the economy. you know that. >> i think the president has a

lot to do with the economy. absolutely. the trade deals. the new trade package is a disaster. the president has everything to do with the economy. >> also has to deal with congress and -- >> sure. that's part of being a leader. you have to get them to do what you want them to do. >> donald trump, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i first interviewed donald trump in 1987 when he flirted with running for president. he has been delivering this message for a long time. our panel weighs in and the cable combat strategy working and what hillary's e-mails tell us about her spinning of the press.

after my interview with donald trump, many pundits were dismissive on the day he jumped into the race. >> i think this is donald trump's biggest day and he'll be ignored from henceforth. >> do you want to revise that remark? >> i'm here to say i was wrong. i'll say it 100,000 times. i was wrong after watching that interview. he's not going anywhere. he's around to stay. he lives and breathes on tv. it's his medium. i think that for a lot of republican voters you listen to

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 way in 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.

or not. look who is getting all the headlines and look at all the candidates responding to him. >> or trying not to. >> steve schmidt who ran john mccain's said sometimes it's like wrestling a pig and sometimes the pig gets dirty and that's the problem with taking on donald trump directly. >> we'll see how much longer the immediate can a fascination lasts and how much more media he can get. thanks very much for joining us here today. still to come the top tweets, the e-mails on hillary and the

press. the media war over a sex tape and president obama says he wants to spend more time talking to reporters. really?
