transforming transforming transforming transforming acheachievment. and mike huckabee, jobs, gay marriage and why he won't talk about trump and dealing with the media. >> nobody should be president if they're unwilling to answer the questions. media should say we're not going to cover any candidate that's so pretentious as to think can strip their campaign like it's a hollywood sitcom. >> my sit down with the former governor. bill cosby admitted under oath that he pursued sex with numerous women using drugs in the process and paid two money to keep them happy. does this end the media debate once and for all? campbell brown, former nbc

anchor is holding a forum next month with presidential candidates. is this journalism or raw advocacy? i'm howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." a major media furor building this weekend against donald trump after the huffington post claimed that trump is such a side show they won't cover him in his public section but in entertainment along with the kardashians. and after john mccain said trump is firing up the crazies, trump at a forum yesterday mocked the senator's time as a prisoner of war in vietnam. >> he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't

captured. >> joining us now, james rosen, matt lewis, and julie, a democratic strategist and fox news contributor. trump thrived in new york with this kind of insulting style that generates a lot of headlines. now he's a presidential candidate. are the media concluding that donald is simply going too far? >> i don't know the fitness that donald trump possesses to comment on other people's heroism. the most lethal foe he ever faced in his own life was rosie o'donnell. now that he's filed, he taxing to its limits the pretense to objectivity in the old ap style book way. not to say that he should be relegated to entertainment section but you can't report on him the way ybody

else. he's a singular figure. to describe him as businessman donald trump said x, y and z doesn't do him justice as a subject. >> we have to walk our words. last week trump was called a rotten pig and i thought that was well over the line. does it matter that trump is punching back so huffington post does this stunt. we'll cover him but stick him in the entertainment section but then that highlygoing after huffington. what do you make of that? >> donald trump is not entirely responsible for this. it's almost a lot of political coverage like tmz. should we be surprised that somebody who talks like that is actually not just getting attention but also first or second place in a lot of these early polls. >> you blame the media culture.

you think that we're enabling this or trump is exploiting an environment that already exists? >> absolutely. this is the movie where eventually a wrestler becomes president. sadly a lot of the trends are leading that way and you have serious politicians like john kasich bobby jindal that may not make it into the debate. >> does it matter that other republican candidates now denounce donald trump, the rnc putting out a statement saying mccain is an american hero and there's no place in our country for those that disparage those that served honorably. trump is toast. >> don't hate the player hate the game. he's playing exactly into the press' hands. the press doesn't need to cover

him with this insanity. he sells papers. they help his brand. to some extent would you blame donald trump? no he's a showman. not a legitimate candidate. he's number one and number two. >> is he a showman, yes. do you want to call him a side show that's fair comment. you said he's not a legitimate candidate. why does the press insist on this not just to huffington post but why does press say we don't take him seriously? >> i think that the problem when you say things like that it comes across as elitist. grassroots conservatives say see the game is rigged. someone comes along who is saying it and telling us like it is and saying it like it is. taking on the media. >> you are going out of your way not to criticize mccain. >> i'm more than happy to criticize him for mccain comments.

i think they were horrible. mccain wasn't a hero because he was taken prisoner. he was a hero because he refused early release because that would have been a propaganda victory for north vietnam. i think what donald trump said is horrible. absolutely. >> he wasn't just shot down. his bones were broken. he has difficulty raising his arms above his head. it's not just that the guy was shot down. i wonder whether or not the tone is changing. i think the media loved that trump is in the race. he's good copy. he's good for ratings and good for clicks. he called mccain a dummy earlier. mccain started this by saying trump was firing up the crazies. but there's something about the mccain comments now that i think has turned the coverage particularly negative. >> i think for donald trump when he was making unambiguous remarks about mexico there has

always in american politics been short-term mileage to be derived from that kind of comment. there is very little mileage to be derived from disparaging john mccain's war record. i would say that that to the question of whether we take him seriously as a presidential candidate, those who are most obliged to do so are the other republican candidates particularly those from whose bucket of voters we might expect donald trump would steal votes. >> president obama held a lengthy news conference to defend his nuclear deal with iran and the thing that got the most attention was this exchange that we'll show you between cbs correspondent major garrett and the president. >> can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with all of the fanfare around the deal to leave the conscious of this nation and strength of this nation unaccounted for in relation to these four americans? >> the notion that i am content as i celebrate with american citizens languishing in iranian

jails jails, major, that's nonsense. you should know better. >> you're a former colleague of major garrett. a lot of journalists saying the wording went over the line. what's your take? >> i've known major a long time. he's an excellent reporter and i consider him a friend. i've told him in this instance that i thought framing of his question was on the side of provocative. however, i also told him and i think it's true that the president succumbed to the bait and he should not have. no one could remember in modern presidential history of the president of the united states rebuking a reporter in a briefing setting like this. closest analog is in 1974 when dan rather of cbs asked richard nixon a question and there were boos and cheers and nixon asked are you running for something, mr. rather and rather said no

mr. president, are you? the president could have said major, there was so much objectionable about the framing of your question time doesn't allow us to go into it. >> four americans are still being held there. are you content, it seemed provocative. your take? >> i mean he sort of personalized the question and that was awkward. it's legitimate to ask how can you cut this deal and be celebrating when we have these hostages. to me the most interesting part of this story is you have a journalist asking a tough question of a politician about a journalist who is being held captive and other journalists side with the president. i think that some potential bias there. >> julie, let me play for you major garrett's response when asked about the exchange on "cbs this morning." >> the president believed he was content. it wasn't my intent.

charlie, i have done soul searching on whether i've done enough on behalf of hostages held overseas. >> president obama may have given that question thousand times attention than it would have received otherwise. >> i have never seen barack obama that upset. i don't recall a time where i have seen that anger come through. it's a personal question for him. i think major garrett should have walked back and taken the opportunity to say i overstepped my bounds. he did. i want to be clear the president did answer the question that was asked after. nobody remembers the part where he answered the question all they remember is the part where he went after major garrett. that may have been the president's miscalculation. >> in terms of the iran deal and conservatives criticizing the deal before it was made and if there was any deal they would have approved liberals kind of defending it but with caveats. you spent two weeks in vienna as this was being negotiated covering the john kerry team.

do you think the coverage has matched what you saw? >> there is one deal that conservatives would have welcomed and that would have been one that matched the terms that the president and his aids were laying out two years ago which called for dismantlement of the iranian nuclear apparatus. that didn't happen. in terms of coverage if you followed this closely, you had a good idea of what was being discussed behind closed doors. >> from the americans? from american sources? >> the reason you had that good idea of what was cropping up in negotiations at one point or another was because the other parties to this britain, france germany, more talkative than americans and so they would tell the americans what's going on and we would rush to the american side to have them clam up on us. >> when we get a break here remember to ask a question on twitter or make a comment. we'll read some of those later. when we come back "the new york times" publishing a deposition

where bill cosby responds to accusations against him and mike huckabee's take on why he's getting less media attention than that donald guy. ttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. real cheese poeple don't eat pasteurized, processed cheese food. it's only required to contain 51 percent real cheese. with sargento natural cheese slices, you always get 100 percent real. sargento. we're real cheese people.

when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap. you focus on making great burgers, or building the best houses in town. or becoming the next highly-unlikely dotcom superstar. and us, we'll be right there with you helping with the questions you need answered to get your brand new business started. we're legalzoom and we've already partnered with over a million new business owners to do just that.

that lets you choose a time for us to call you. so instead of waiting on hold, we'll call you when things are just as wonderful... [phone rings] but a little less crazy. we're doing everything we can to give you the best experience possible. because we should fit into your life. not the other way around. >> to give a woman or a man without his or her knowledge a drug and then have sex with that person without consent, that's rape. >> president obama talking about bill cosby. we learned this morning from "the new york times" that cosby admitted in a decade old deposition that he systematically seduced women. he asked a woman to tell her

worried mother she achieved sexual satisfaction with him. some media went too far by giving a platform to 30 women that accused cosby of rape. does that decision look different? >> it looks like the right thing to do and facts verify that. maybe they were too late. the media should have been more aggressive. it's understandable why. we confuse cliff huxtable for bill cosby. this guy had a positive portrayal of a black family. heroic man in many ways. sadly now with the atticus finch thing happening, where are the heroes? >> now that we have the full thing, does it settle the media debate once and for all? >> i think the conviction of bill cosby in the court of public opinion happened months

ago. all of a sudden women started coming out of the woodwork. >> some people were saying it's too late. why should we believe them? >> one, two, three, ten, 15 none related to each other, you know you're innocent until proven guilty in the court of law but not in the court of public opinion and bill cosby was by most reasonable people convicted a long time ago because of the circumstantial evidence. not legally but de facto came to light. >> the presidential answer we saw was a response to radio reporter april ryan at the news conference primarily devoted to iran. anything wrong with her asking an off topic question rescinding the presidential medal of freedom. >> she asked about the president's criminal just reforms. i don't think that -- it's quite all right for someone who is holding a news conference to say i'll take questions on subject x

and reporters to ask i would like to ask why. where bill cosby is concerned and where this deposition is concern, the question raised for the media covering bill cosby going forward is how do you -- what do you use for him? do you say comedian bill cosby and comedian and admitted rapists, bill cosby. you won't see that second formulation. it's a question that editors will be wrestling with. >> a lot of people have grappled with this because so many people like cosby and respect his role as a figure on television and no comment now from the cosby camp now that his own words are hanging him. by the way, the reason that question was asked or part of it is there was a petition drive by the sexual awareness group pave who spoke to a woman i interviewed last week. i said she gave a deposition but what happened was the case was settled before she was able to

testify. thanks very much for joining us this sunday. after the break, a bizarre spat between anchors over just how much money nbc paid donald trump and mike huckabee coming up in moments and then why did "the new york times" rain on serena williams' parade by talking about her bulky and less than feminine physique. nothing fits, huh? not surprising... ...with that bloated belly. you got gas. i can see it and i know you feel it. get gas-x. it relieves bloating in minutes. plus that uncomfortable pressure. no wonder it's the #1 gas relief brand.

donald trump told me in our interview a couple weeks back that he understated his net worth and he filed a disclosure to say he's worth more than $10 billion. over 14 years of "the apprentice" nbc paid him $213 million. that touched off a bizarre and heated argument between joe and.

>> that's a lie. let me explain that donald trump didn't make a million dollars for his first year. >> you are so out of bounds saying that donald trump makes a million dollars on one of the most successful prime time shows. it's hilarious. >> this has been a declining show. it had two good years at the beginning. it's been declining ever since. >> you can keep rambling and being condescending as you want lawrence. >> you this woongwould think they were arguing about iranian nukes. joe said maybe screaming takes place in prime time television but we don't do it here and

trump said reserve your inaccurate descriptions to what i said when i'm on your set to correct you. trump himself called in during a break and offered to bet o'donnell a year salary that his numbers were accurate. o'donnell delivered his answer that night. >> so no donald there won't be a bet because i would never bet about anything. i might be wrong. i've never said i know exactly how much donald trump made for the entire series. i don't know. now, i am really sorry that i wasted the time that should have been focused on what april ryan had to say. >> i'm glad lawrence calmed down. media buzzing about trump again. trump called into fox saying mccain was a war hero but doesn't take back the comments or back off or retreat. he refused several questions and opportunities to apologize.

ahead on "media buzz," former nbc anchor campbell brown says there aren't two sides to every story and that's why she's becoming an advocate. first, former gore mike huckabee on whether the press is pigeon holing him as the social issues candidate. aha! cinnamon. milk. cinna-milk. cinnamon toast crunch. crunch! crave those crazy squares. cinna-milk!ar and i feel great because i used the truecar app. truecar knows what other people paid for this car so i know if i'm getting a fair price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. (cheerful music)

mike huckabee was the surprise story of the 2008 campaign after largely being written off by the press. now the former arkansas governor after a stint at fox news is mounting his second presidential campaign. i sat down with him in washington. mike huckabee welcome. >> great to be here. >> you talk about how you've been working since you were 14 and you talk to people in kitchens when you're out and do the media pigeon hole you as a social issues candidate? >> the people who hear me talk know that's not true. it's not the issues that i focus

on when i'm on the campaign trail. i don't feel like i have to prove my bona fides on the issue of sanctity of life or same-sex marriage because people know i've been bold and consistent. i talk about issues of bringing a sense of empowerment who have been beaten down with a system that makes had hard to climb up the ladder in the middle class. >> after the supreme court ruling you said i will not acquiesce to an imperial court and reject judicial tyranny. it sounded to some people like you're not going to accept the ruling by the high court. >> i think what all of us should do is accept the constitutional form of government that has three branches equal to each other and the court can't make a law. congress has to make a law. the president has to sign it. it has to be enforced. the courts can interpret a law

and declare something to be unconstitutional but don't have the powert constitutional law is. >> you don't feel that all of the states have an obligation to grant marriage licenses to people of the same-sex. >> in a lot of states you don't have language written into the statutory authority of that state to carry those things out. until someone decided in the other two branches that's in fact the correct interpretation of the constitution if you let the judicial branch have carte blanche and let them just decide something and in this case a very political ruling not really a legal one, and that's coming from the four opinions brutal in their assessment of this you have the practice of judicial supremacy. >> in 2008 you got almost no attention from mainstream press

right up until iowa caucus which you one and it seems like you're not getting as much attention. more crowded field sure but do you see a pattern? >> there's a media narrative. the media decides this guy is a contender for reasons that don't necessarily make sense to the voter and certainly not to the candidates. it's the way it is. i can complain about it. to do is to go out and win because when you start winning, then it's hard to be ignored. >> another thing you have done is to go out and do interviews in contrast to hillary clinton who has done one national tv interview so far. do you think it's important for candidates to sit down in these kind of sessions? >> you know howard nobody should be president if they're unwilling to answer the questions and not just the press questions. i think you have to go out there and take unfiltered questions from unemployed truck drivers and from housewives and from people who have been hit by obamacare or maybe somebody who lost their job as a welder.

these are real people that you're asking to give you the highest office in the land. i think this phony let's get a group of carefully selected people to ask pre-selected questions, that ought to be rejected out of hand. i think the best thing, media should say we won't cover any candidate who is so pretentious as to think they can script their campaign like it's a hollywood sitcom. >> antitrust violation if we got together and decided that. it's not just liberal media narrative about you. they say that you talk about protecting entitlement programs and too much about poverty and you sound like a liberal. >> when someone says a vanity campaign i think he's doing this because he wants to get a television show and he wants a book deal and he wants to help his speeches. i'm thinking are you people nuts? i had a television show and i

had a book deal and i was doing all of the speeches i could squeeze into my calendar. i walked away from a healthy income in order to run for president because i really believe that this country needs experienced leadership but not just the kind of blind partisan i'll do what the party expects me to do but leadership that says let's let the rising tide float the boats of all americans. that's the kind of background that i had as a governor in arkansas. i'm convinced it's the kind of leadership that america needs right now. >> you had a show here on fox. do you like journalists personally? do you think they've been fair to you? >> over all they have. take 100 and i could find ten or a dozen that weren't fair. that's life. there are voters out there that don't like me either. there are people in my own family that don't like me on any given day. >> as long as we're honest about it. >> that's part of the process. if you can't stand the sight of

your own blood, then for heaven's sake don't run for public office. it's a brutal experience. >> in every interview lately people ask you what about donald trump? given the extent to which trump is right now dominating the campaign debate and media debate and maybe that's on us don't you have to kind of get in the rhetorical arena with him? >> no i absolutely do not. he has a campaign. i have a campaign. this is like olympic swimming. everyone has a lane. if you want to win in the olympics you better swim in your own lane. you get in someone else's lane both are disqualified. last thing i need to do is worry about what donald trump or rick santorum is saying, it doesn't drive my message and i won't change my message because someone else is saying different than me or maybe saying something they stole from me, which by the way there are a few of those lines out there.

>> political plagiarism. i'm shocked. at one point you took on beyonce for saying she was too sexually suggestive and jay-z is a pimp for ex-ploiting his wife as a sex object. you said that's half a page of my book. by putting it in there, you knew it would draw attention. >> i didn't. there were things in my book that i thought were controversial and i made a list of eight or nine things that i thought would blow up and be controversial. amazingly, those did not turn out to be the controversial points. the brief reference to beyonce, it never occurred to me that would be such a media firestorm. >> you were governor for 10 1/2 years. at that time overwhelming democratic legislature and yet the media are so focused these days on what's hot now, the latest rhetoric and can you respond to this and respond to that i wonder if that message of what you did and what you think you accomplished in

arkansas can even get through the static. >> at some point it will. people ultimately are hiring somebody to be president. and i think when you hire somebody maybe the first thing that gets your attention will be the more outrageous things and sexy things if you will. when you get to the point of saying we have to make a decision of who do we hire? you want to know can this person do the job? has this person done a job like this before? does this person have the capacity to lead? >> do you miss having a tv show? >> i do. it was one of the best experiences of my life. i've been a candidate for office that's really hard work. i've held office and governed a challenging state that was hard work. then i spent last 6 1/2 years talking about people who run for office and held office and to be honest with you, it was the easiest job i ever had and paid better than anything i did in my life. i loved it. i miss it. if i was doing what was comfortable and lucrative, i would have stayed.

i feel like our country is in trouble. i have five grandkids now. i don't want to be one of those guys that ended up with a comfortable life for myself at the expense of my grandkids. thank you, howard. the easiest job he ever had. after the break, campbell brown has presidential contenders like jeb bush lined up to talk about education reform now that she made the leap from tv anchor to advocate. real cheese poeple don't eat pasteurized, processed cheese food. it's only required to contain 51 percent real cheese. with sargento natural cheese slices, you always get 100 percent

real. sargento. we're real cheese people. so what i'm saying is, people like options. when you take geico, you can call them anytime you feel like saving money. it don't matter, day or night. use your computer, your smartphone, your tablet, whatever. the point is you have options. oh, how convenient. hey. crab cakes, what are you looking at? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. you are looking at two airplane fuel gauges. can you spot the difference? no? you can't see that? alright, let's take a look. the one on the right just used 1% less fuel than the one on the left. now, to an airline a 1% difference could save enough fuel to power hundreds of flights around the world. hey, look at that. pyramids. so you see, two things that are exactly the same have never been more different.

ge software. get connected. get insights. get optimized.

reporter. what i struggled with when i became an anchor and doing the show at cnn was how ratings driven it was. almost impossible not to get caught up in that. my staff looking at the ratings every day when they came out at 4:00 or being demoralized or so excited based on that number. it's almost impossible for that number sometimes to not drive editorial decisions and that was frustrating. that took the joy out of doing journalism. >> do you thank that produced a polarized environment in cable news? >> well i think it pushes you to do things that aren't very worthwhile or beneficial more generally. we end up covering more celebrity scandal or crime than is necessary or we should be because it gets a pop. it makes ratings go up. the shouting matches always give you a boost. so people drive us toward more

confrontational style interviews and you don't get the opportunity to be as thoughtful. >> in that case let me shout this next question at you. you were the top substitute on "nbc nightly news" do you think the network was tarnished by the brian williams mess? >> look i have so many friends there because i worked there for 11 years so it was heartbreaking for me to talk to them because it was so hard what they were going through. but, no. over the long run there are great journalists there. lester holt took over "nightly news" and was my co-anchor for a long time and he's an outstanding journalist and a dear dear friend and an amazing person. and so putting him in that role i think will quiet things down and stabilize the ship so to speak. they couldn't have made a better choice. i think people are moving on already. >> now that you started this website, do you feel liberated

from the constraints of journalism? >> yes. >> how does that feel campbell? >> it feels great. i think more people should try it. i've been having this debate with a lot of people around this new role i've taken because prior to launching the 74 i was working more on advocacy side around education issues. i get asked a lot are you an advocate now or a journalist? i have found having come from that old school journalism background where i was hired by tim russert and mentored by tom brokaw of the mindset there are two sides to every story and the reporter's role is to play referee whereas now i feel like journalism we lost a lot of credibility with the audience over the years. they don't really believe that we can be truly objective. i don't believe that's really possible. we all come to every story with our own life experience which

creates bias for us all and maybe it's better to be honest about your biassed and your positions and the opinions you have when you go into a story and if we were i think that could go a long way to restoring our credibility with the audience who doesn't buy the objectively line anyway. >> one of the stories on your website and you were hiring journalists for this site no one knows how hillary clinton will govern on education. you have clashed with teachers union and you learned that not every story has two sides. is that true or more of an advocate's point of view? >> i'll give you an example. it was a story i read in "the daily news" about 14 teachers found guilty of sexual misconduct with kids who kept their jobs. who could argue that that's a good thing? and that exists that problem, because of a law on the books in new york that protects teachers and prevents them from being

removed from the classroom. it's crazy. impossible for anyone to argue that's okay. and yet when i wrote something about that or spoke up about it there's a special interest group with a lot of power in this country and they went crazy. sometimes in journalism we defer and we're afraid to take positions when we see situations like that and i think that false equivalency hurts us in our credibility and when there's a clear moral issue at stake, we should speak out about it especially when it involves children. >> you're speaking out now and a lot of people think journalists should be more open about bias and how you have the opportunity to push your cause. campbell brown, thanks very much for joining us. >> it's great to be here. good to see you. >> coming up does "the new york times" have a problem with serena williams and other female tennis stars for not looking feminine enough? nothing fits, huh? not surprising... ...with that bloated belly. you got gas. i can see it and i know you feel it. get gas-x.

it relieves bloating in minutes. plus that uncomfortable pressure. no wonder it's the #1 gas relief brand. you show up. you stay up. you listen. you laugh. you worry. you do whatever it takes to take care of your family. and when it's time to plan for your family's future we're here for you. we're legalzoom, and for over 10 years we've helped families just like yours with wills and living trusts. so when you're ready start with us. doing the right thing has never been easier. legalzoom. legal help is here.

the day before serena williams won wimbledon, the "new york times" ran a piece focusing on her large biceps and mold-breaking muscular frame in contrast to say the somewhat skinny maria sharapova and suggesting that quote, perceived ideal feminine body type can seem at odds for the best physique for tennis success. a job for tamarah holder host of fox show "sports court." tamarah, thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> should the "new york times" have questioned this piece whether muscular tennis players like serena?

>> the "new york times" can publish what it wants and we're in 2015 and women have rights and they can have as muscular arms as they want or be as thin as they want. it's pretty i don't know just tragic of this newspaper that's read by millions of people to target serena and her buff arms as if it's something so bad. >> reich. one of the things i liked about the piece is that serena williams and her players were interviewed, serena saying she's now comfortable with her physique and another player andrea petkovic doesn't like the arm-bulging pictures of herself because she feels unfeminine so perhaps the fee maime athletes are conflicted on this. >> people don't like kim kardashian's buttocks and she sells millions of books and is one of the most admired beautiful women on the planet. >> on the cover of "rolling

stone". >> and her large breasts or bulging breasts, if you are, is what is out there. bulging body parts on women is actually a real good thing and last i checked men really like that. i don't think that there's anything wrong. you know these european tennis players who are making these comments like agnieszka radwanska says she wants to be thin and she wants to look like a woman. well that's great but you're not number one in the world so maybe you should pump some iron i don't know. >> that's the thing. i understand this kind of piece is a good talker but these are athletes who are supposed to be trying to win championships, not be professional models right? >> right, and a lot of it is you have genetics on one hand and then you also have training style on the other hand and what works for you. there are plenty of people who are built very slimly and, you know serena also is -- serena's arms are compared to michelle

obama's, michelle obama isn't an athlete and is known for beautiful arms. >> let me just in the brief time we have left. you're not shy of posting pictures of yourself on instagram in a sports bra or bikini. do you think the media is too hung up on how much skin female athletes or celebrities or journalists show? >> i don't know if it's the media or if it's people the right wing who get so upset about how much a woman shows. at the end of the day sex sells. different body styles for different people and, you know i think women are beautiful. we should embrace our curves and the more curves the merrier. >> tamara holder embracing her curves. thanks so much for swatting it around with us today. >> thank you. >> still to come your top tweets. my take on why the media are now savaging donald trump and gawker does something extremely rare, spiking a sex story after an outcry. at ally bank no branches equals great

rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping.

when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap.

the gossipy website gawker facing a storm of criticism has taken down a major news story for the first time not tied to legal or factual reasons. gawker had reported that a top media executive who i won't name brother of a former obama administration official had agreed to pay a gay porn star 2,500 for an encounter before backing out. founder nick denton said the point of the story in my view was not sufficient to offset the embarrassment to the subject and his family a can and a blow against pointless salaciousness. top tweets was major garrett or president obama over the line on that question about being content with american hostages remaining in iran? mama for obama 1, major garrett was way over the line insulting and respectful in an attempt to be provocative and was himself

the story. >> this is what happens when you have a president who isn't used to be being challenged. >> neither was thewas over the line. the art of the insult has always worked for donald trump. if he's picking on rosie o'donnell or jerry seinfeld and everybody gets the game. now that he's a presidential candidate trump is often his own worst candidate. one thing to say rick perry should wear glasses but another to make light of john mccain's captivity who was tortured. this kind of misfire gives ammunition to the pundits who view trump as an unguided missile and one who never apologizes. today at least the journalists are really turning on trump and poking them in the eye isn't going to solve the donald's problem. that's it for this edition of "media buzz." i'm howard kurtz. thanks for watching. we hope you'll go to our facebook page and give us a
