on buzz beater this to ask question. >> no, you don't. you haven't been called. >> i have a right to ask a question. >> go back to univision. >> was he practicing journalism or did trump win the exchange for bringing him back for a debate. hillary clinton likens her republican rivals to terrorists and most of the media just yawn.

is there a blatant double standard here? the lessons of the horrifying on air murder of two young virginia journalists by a former reporter at their station. the role of social media and television's scramble to cover the tragedy. >> it is my very, very sad duty to report that we have determined through the help of the police and our employees that alison and adam died this morning shortly after 6:45 when the shots rang out. >> why local street reporting can be more dangerous than people imagine and why al sharpton's nightly show is being dropped. i'm howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." after univision's chief anchor

was removed from trump's news conference, hunt asked why he was ejected. >> he was out of order. i would take his question in two seconds. he stood up and started screaming. >> trump allowed ramos to come back for what turned into a heated five-minute debate. >> you cannot grant citizenship to the children. you cannot be -- >> why do you say that? >> you cannot do that. >> the one thing we're going to start with immediately are the gangs and real bad ones. you agree there are bad ones. do you agree with that? >> trump defended himself the next morning on the "today" show. >> he stood up and started ranting and raving like a madman and frankly he was out of line. >> ramos who declined our invitation for an interview

responded with megyn kelly. >> he tried to silence me and in this country you cannot do that. >> can you understand trump's side of it, which is this is not the outlet i want to take these questions from because their mind is made up about me. >> he doesn't like uncomfortable questions. it happened with you. it happened with your colleagues at fox news. he hates it when he's being confronted. >> joining us now to analyze trump's latest skirmishes with the media, mercedes, a former bush white house official and susan, chief congressional correspondent for "washington examiner" and juan williams, columnist for "the hill." you are a cuban american. some hispanic journalists praise jorge to the skies. what do you say? >> a majority of hispanic journalists are praising him. they agree that he was out of line. you have on the other side

spanish language media saying they showed the viral video of jorge ramos and the individual saying get out of my country. it was a very unfair coverage on the spanish language media side. >> what do you say about jorge ramos and what he did? >> he was -- i find he was out of line in the sense that, first of all, he dominated the press conference. he became the show. it was a very calculated move by jorge ramos to get his point across that he was going to be very adamant and advocate on this issue on immigration. he was going to confront trump on it regardless of -- >> was it unprofessional? >> i would say absolutely on that part it was. >> journalists want to be seen as tough when they are questioning politicians. if you're interrupting and you keep shouting and you won't sit down, is that tough? >> i would remind mercedes and remind you because you had a terrific piece about this issue, and, you know, it was at

foxnews.com for people that want to read it, if you think back helen thomas in the white house press room, she could be obnoxious at times. do you remember sam donaldson? sam donaldson used to stand up and shout at reagan all the time. >> there's a difference between shouting at presidents when they are going into the helicopter or it's a scrum, but having a news conference where someone is calling this one and that one and you jump in and then you don't stop talking, and then you're not asking a question but lecturing the candidate. that doesn't upset you? >> let me just say first of all, jorge ramos is no reporter. let's not equate him with a reporter. he is the walter cronkite of spanish language media in this country. he's the star journalist and he has a certain weight on issues of immigration specifically when he says that to his community this amounts to racism, discrimination, and oppression. >> juan, he jumps in there all the time and really what they do

on univision is when he gets on air, it's an opinion on where he stands on immigration and like howie said. he went on a tirade with trump. he's made it a point that he basically says on issues of racial discrimination, he believes that journalism should have a point of view and they should be very vocal about it. >> i don't understand why that's a problem. my colleagues at fox news often times especially prime time anchors have a point of view and i've seen them interview president obama and interrupt and make their point. >> that's different. i don't think sean hannity is a host of a tv show but he's not sitting in the audience of a press conference asking questions the way jorge ramos was and he was also interrupting jorge ramos other reporters -- >> it sounded like a number of reporters had questions. it was shrewd of president obama to bring him back and have a

debate. >> he didn't banish him completely. when trump gets into jorge ramos and calls out a cnn reporter who ask a question and continues to swipe at fox news over debate questions, does this help donald trump? >> yes. if you look at what the public thinks of media right now, our ratings are down there with ratings of people in congress. we're approaching really bottom of the barrel levels here. so the more he swipes at congress, i think voters like that. i think look at the reaction on twitter when he got the tough questions from megyn kelly. you saw a lot of backlash. people said, hey, what's fox news doing asking these tough questions of donald trump? for some reason people took offense to the fact that these jou journalists were trying to ask tough questions because they don't like reporters and think they treated candidates unfairly over the last few years. >> jorge ramos is the chief news

editor at univision. clearly he has opinions on this issue. he's not paid to go and disrupt events. at times he seemed like a heckler. >> i was shocked. knowing jorge ramos, i worked with him during the bush administration, he would be the reporter out of univision we would say let's have the interview with president obama because he was considered pretty fair on these questions. with president obama, he was tough with president obama on immigration. he's taken it to a whole new different level with trump. this is personal for jorge ramos. you can tell in his tone and in the way he tries to ask these questions that right now it's become like a moral crusade for jorge ramos and he's making it very clear to the latinos watching his show that donald trump -- >> i believe that walter cronkite had something to say and people said if you lost walter cronkite maybe you lost the country. if you lost jorge ramos, maybe

you lost the spanish community. >> walter cronkite went on a reporter trip to vietnam and came back and said it looked like the u.s. was losing the war. he was not waving his arm and interrupting people. let's look at other donald trump rally where he read from a "times" article about how hispanic media are treating the donald. take a look. >> ricardo sanchez, spanish drive time radio show in los angeles has taken to calling donald j. trump -- in other words the man of the toupee. this is on the front page of "the new york times." i don't wear a toupee. it's my hair. i swear. is it mine? look. >> it is. >> yes, i believe it.

>> thank you. >> how that for pushing back against "the new york times"? >> he's grabbing the spotlight at rallies and press conferences. who does that? have someone in the audience come up to see if their hair is real. look at the play that got. i do think that's really hitting back. it's, hey, "the new york times" says my hair isn't real. come up and look at my hair. is "the new york times" right or wrong? another accurate slap at the media. >> and "times" in fairness was quoting hispanic radio host and he went onto read more from that article. since you seem to feel that jorge ramos was not as out of line as other critics say, let's go back to a news conference in which president obama was interrupted by a reporter for "the daily caller." >> it's the right thing to do. excuse me, sir. it's not time for questions, sir. not while i'm speaking.

the answer to your question and next time i prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that. >> so were you more upset about that than what jorge did? >> by far. clearly the president was speaking. >> he was reading an opening statement. >> so he's speaking. so what you saw i think with donald trump was donald trump was in the middle of a press conference. let me give you background here very quickly, which is that jorge ramos requested interviews with donald trump. donald trump had not responded. donald trump put his phone number, i believe, on the internet so there had been something of a little static you haven't mentioned here. >> a lawsuit for those that lost track against univision. here's a fascinating opinion on the website. let's put it up on the screen.

words are tantamount to a declaration of war against a major sector of american society. like jorge has done in the past when there's intolerance or corruption, he's not going to stay silent. he went to donald trump's press conference with a clear mission. question, denounce and expose him. since you were nice enough to translate that. what do you think? >> it's strong words from maria. it's an emotionally topic for the latinos. they are taking it personal. as i said, moral crusade for hispanics. it's an issue they want to take on and take trump down with it. >> if she says he went to denounce and expose him, that doesn't sound like journalism for me. >> it sounds like opinion journalism. that's your legitimate point. >> it sounds like activism. >> wait a second. donald trump said rapists,

thieves, that's who these immigrants are sent into this country. ramos who is a mexican american may take offense. >> you have to take the personal part out of it. where is the objective unbias sd journalism. >> i'm saying that he challenged the candidate. >> you're a newscaster on a major spanish network, you believe it's okay for him to -- >> i think in this instance when you heard his co-anchor said this is a matter of injustice, discrimination, bias, stereotypes, he would be negligent as a major voice in his community if he did not speak with some passion. >> i have to get a break in. i'm sure you have opinions about this. send me a tweet and we'll read some at the end of the program. you can e-mail us. ahead, why there's no media furor over hillary clinton

comparing republican candidates to terrorists and an insult to

>> jeb bush is being so restrained he often doesn't use trump's name. there is coverage that can seem rather one-sided. >> i was born in laredo, texas. >> do we have to talk about this guy? >> this guy is now the front runner. he should be held to account just like me. he should be asked as he was yesterday how are you going to pay for it?

>> here's a guy larger than life. it's all about him. >> there's a reason he doesn't use his last name. it won't work too well. we had a lot of problems with that last name. >> i need to ask you about this guy. is the coverage lopsided because jeb is not a good counterpuncher or because trump and his attacks are dominating the coverage? >> i think it's the latter. i think trump is just dominating coverage with the way his performance or as some people say his antics on stage. he knows how to draw the limelight to himself and hit hard at candidates. we have a quiet group of republicans underneath him by comparison. jeb bush is pretty low key at the podium or as trump was saying low energy or whatever he was accusing him of being. i do think it's drowned out the rest of the field at this point and that's their biggest problem right now. >> trump has now done 75 plus national tv interviews. jeb has done a few. none for a couple weeks. is it unfair coverage if one guy is constantly talking to reporters, going on tv, calling

into howard stern. >> let me ask you, howie kurtz, cnn carried a town hall meeting for donald trump uninterrupted. what is going on here? is this paid for? >> it's not just cnn. fox news, cnbc, cnn, seem to cover every trump press conference and his rallies. it's not a secret in part because he's a front runner but because ratings are -- >> that's what i'm saying. news media is responding to the fact that people can't get enough of donald trump. >> that may be true but jeb bush can go on any show he wants. he can come on this show, "fox news sunday." >> he did a softball interview. >> is it our fault that jeb bush is not making more use of the media megaphone? >> no. i think that jeb bush is thinking at some point this

candidate is going to go away and i think that he's being very cautious. i think he is sticking to his script which is i've got my message this week on veterans. next week on something else. but he's not necessarily utilizing the media to his full advantage. >> trump spent 35 minutes talking to "the washington post" reporter. insults at the bush family. >> i believe jeb is moving into a more traditional media approach. he's going by that media campaign. that's not a traditional campaign. >> new ground game. trump has harnessed it well for himself. >> there's asia anchor babies. >> then he has to defend it and he's not had the best few weeks. >> trump is unleashed. he's not that smart. he's low energy. this is just trump firing away. jeb does not behave in that way.

he doesn't talk that way about people. >> jeb is the only one breaking through with the pack of 16 really. >> nontraditional candidates are moving. >> we'll see you later. ahead, we'll look at the coverage of the heartbreaking on-air murder of two virginia journalists. up next, msnbc dumps al sharpton's show and nancy snyderman with chilling reflections on her ebola ordeal.

msnbc was canceling one liberal show after another is now dropping al sharpton's nightly program and moving him to sunday. sharpton brought controversy with low ratings. not a good combo. they allow sharpton to interview

his allies. sharpton gave the story to new york's daily news and says he likes the shift to sunday morning because i wanted to be martin luther king and not larry king. happy preaching, reverenreveren. >> dr. nancy snyderman left nbc after breaking a self-imposed quarantine after coming into into ebola. they said a senior center refused to give her 88-year-old mother a shot. i saw the mean side of social media and the number of people that wanted me dead or worse. it was a traumatic time. i never wanted to be famous but, man, did i see the ugly side of too many people know who you are. i swear to god. if it had been salem, i would have been burned at the stake. a reminder that when media people make a mistake, they can really get tarred and feathered in the public square and, yes, they are also human beings. ahead, hillary clinton likens republican candidates to terrorists and largely gets a yawn from the mainstream media.

i was part of fox's live coverage during the heartbreaking events of wednesday morning when the viewers of wdbj in roanoke, virginia, saw alison parker and adam ward killed during an on-air interview by a former reporter angry with the station. >> we're just getting news that in virginia, franklin county, two television journalists have been shot and killed during a live broadcast. >> right now we've been able to confirm the identity of the suspect. he's vester lee flanagan ii.

described as a disgruntled employee. >> the headline that we now know the suspect is dead. he died at a hospital in northern virginia at 1:31 p.m. eastern time today. >> the saturation coverage riveted the nation's attention especially with this sick and twisted development that the ex-reporter who used on-air name bryce williams recorded the killings himself and posted them on social media before he took his own life. andrea, when you heard about this, you must have thought, wow, we're out on the streets all the time. >> it was absolutely despicable what happened. devastating. our hearts are collectively broken in the industry. among my colleagues and i, think about it. we are absolutely sitting ducks. television stations across the country have beefed up security. >> including yours. >> including ours since 9/11. there are multiple layers if you want to get into a television

station but for those of us out in the field, we have none. the only surprise among my colleagues and me is that something like this hasn't happened sooner. >> you don't have to be cover riot or police action to be exposed the way these two young journalists unfortunately were. when you're doing a live shot, where is your attention? >> we're incredibly vulnerable. our attention is completely focused on the camera. the photo journalist is spoko f as well. i cannot think of a journalist in television that's not been harassed during a live shot. we've had things thrown at us. in the last year or so, it's become a trend to interrupt a reporter's live shot with obscenities and then post that video on youtube. >> has that happened to you? >> it has happened to me. >> what do they say? f her in the blank. we're simply doing our jobs but

we're absolutely targets out there. we don't have to be in a riot zone like you said. when i became a mother of three children, i did not take on assignments that i felt put me in the greatest danger. i've not been to a war zone. now we're all in a war zone sadly. >> well put. david, i mentioned the gunman recording his own video and putting it online. should any news organization show that footage? >> i think given where social media is now and given the proliferation of those images through the culture, they tear through the culture instantly. that argument about not showing it is a much more difficult argument. i mean, even legacy newspaper sites want it up on their websites in some way and have to make that decision. >> doesn't that play into the hands of someone who clearly wanted attention and planned this out?

why should we give someone like that the satisfaction? >> because now you're talking about intentionality in the mind of who makes the video. we also show those videos of being shot by police officers that citizens filmed, you know. different kind of intentionality. they thought they saw an injustice and wanted to bring it to the widest audience. how do you know what's in the mind of the killer? you know this guy wanted it out there. i think it did become an issue of people saying i'm not going to watch because that's what he wants me to do. i do know people had that discussion. you know, i watched cnn wrestle with this. we're not going to show it. half hour later we'll show it on once. leave the room. half hour again they showed it again with the shot of the shooter over the guy. we have technology. we have this incredible digital technology but we haven't

thought it through. the technology has outraced how we're going to use it as a culture. not in the industry, as a culture. that's what this was about. >> david, i will say, i was very proud. my station made the immediate decision not to run the video. and nor did we even put on television or online the gunman's tweets. >> i happen to agree with that. why feed it. social media can be great in terms of bringing a community together in time of tragedy but it also has this dark side. since you have spent so many years out in the field as a network reporter, local reporter here in washington, is it running through your mind that you have to change the way you do your job? >> that's a great question. it's always running through our minds but now i believe we'll all be hypervigilant. you mentioned earlier, we're so focused on accomplishing our jobs and we're so accustomed to having people surrounding us on our live shots. whether that he are just curiosity seekers or people who mean us harm. the fact is there is so much

hate in the world right now and as you both well know, a lot of it is directed at the media. so we're extremely vulnerable out there. i believe we will take whatever minor precautions we can to move to a better location. lately in the last since this horrifying incident happened, we've been doing our live shots at police stations. i did mine on friday inside a courthouse. i've never done that before. it puts us out of the direct line of fire. >> briefly, david, there were a lot of mistakes in coverage as this unfolded. at first it was reported they were engaged to each other and engaged to others at the same station. there was a hot pursuit that didn't turn out to be true. gunman was dead. then he was in the hospital and not dead and of course he was dead. problem? >> it is a problem. we want to -- everybody wants a fog of war. i'm still upset. we can still confirm things. you can report that two people were shot. if you don't know they're dead, don't say they're dead obviously. if you don't know if they're

engaged, don't say it. it's the technology and the way the culture of journalism has been blown up. that people just report anything and catch up with it. i don't think it's okay. i understand it. >> let me just close with andrea. a lot of people hate the media. i understand that. media have given reason to hate them. these two young kids were the media, too. it's a reminder of that. >> that's what's so sad. people who feel anger toward the media or anger toward -- they feel disenfranchised with the system, government, they don't have access to those people. so they are essentially killing the messenger or meaning us harm. >> as we go to break, this is how wdbj remembered its two fallen colleagues. >> he want to pause and reflect and share with you once again what made these two so special not just to us but all of our hometowns that wdbj serves. please join us now

>> when hillary clinton ripped the republicans the other day, she used some pretty inflammatory language. look at how it was covered on the network newscast. >> extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups. we expect that from people who don't want to live in the modern

world. but it's a little hard to take coming from republicans who want to be the president of the united states. >> hillary clinton is going after her republican opponents on the issue of funding for women's health. in cleveland today, she appeared to compare them to terrorists. >> in the swing state of ohio, hillary clinton coming out swinging comparing republicans to terrorists on women's issues. >> joining us now, jim and simon. jim, coming out swinging. talking tough. why was there no recognition in these newscasts that it was an incendiary thing to say. >> ordinarily i would scream bloody murder about this. how can she say that? this is such a transparent effort to change the subject from the fbi investigation of her server. think about it, right now -- >> i don't have a problem with her trying to change the

subject. that's what politicians do. >> she has more in common with terrorists than republicans do because hillary and terrorists are being investigated by the fbi. >> see what you did just there? simon, "the new york times" ran a seven paragraph item online about this. i'm sorry. if a republican compared hillary clinton or bernie sanders to terrorists it would have been on the front page and a woeek's worth of coverage. >> she's winning the actual argument. republicans are making a mistake from a policy standpoint in the way they handle these issues around women. it's a huge advantage for democrats heading into 2016. it felt like just -- >> trying to be like trump? >> i think a lot of establishment candidates are struggling a little bit now on this very different media environment. part of this has to do with the way the velocity of the media and intensity of the media trying to break through. i think she overcalculaibrated bit. >> are they accurately refle llg

to her in free-fall. it's not like she doesn't have a lot of support from democrats. >> if we hadn't just watched this seven years ago where she was the high and mighty expected front runner in this no name illinois senator coming out of nowhere. we feel like we've seen this movie before. >> bernie sanders is not barack obama. he's a self-described socialist. you know, all of this chatter about joe biden, a number of stories, he's leaning toward running and then cnn obtained this audio of the vice president saying his heart and soul are banged up in the aftermath of his son's death and didn't know if he had emotional fuel to run and is that showing the media is too far out on this notion? >> the biden camp was pushing a lot of these stories. i talked to reporters this week and they had all spoken to somebody from biden world. the stories weren't being -- >> they were calculated leaks.

i think that they were pushing it. i also think we have an accurate understanding of where the vice president is now. he wants to do it but he also is battered and he's not really sure that he's ready to get it done. >> let me turn to carly fiorina because she's ripping cnn with the next presidential debate next month at the reagan library for the rules that it is using for who gets on the stage in the prime time debate. cnn wrongly in my view using polls from three weeks before the fox debate when carly fiorina was mired at 1% and only a couple polls since then showed her surging to as much as 5%. she's likely being excluded. i talked to the presidential candidate the other day. let's take a look. >> and so if you're a professional politician and been in the game a long time or you're a celebrity, your advantaged in national polls. if you're an outsider that most people have never heard of before i launched my campaign on may 4th, you're disadvantaged. >> does carly fiorina have a legitimate beef with cnn?

>> absolutely in the sense of why use polls from july to decide who should partake at a debate in september. you're a major candidate and no you're on the fringe. >> this was not aimed at carly fiorina. cnn announced these criteria in may. if it tried to change it in the middle of the game, they would get hit by other candidates. >> we're beginning to have a debate on our side about debates and about whether this is fair to the candidates. and so we're having debates about debates. i think candidates who are trying to break through against the establishment candidates have a legitimate point that sometimes this can be unfair for people who are not as well known and we've got to think about this. >> lightning round. jeb bush not having a great few weeks. down in the polls to trump. three of his fundraisers quit

and others flee the campaign and the campaign is in trouble. >> the new poll in iowa he's underwater amongst republicans. he's at 40% approval. 50% disapproval. that's terrible. >> news stories saying that jeb is sinking -- donald trump did an interview, about 20 this week. one with bloomberg tv where he talked about raising taxes on hedge fund guys and other rich people. i found it fascinating that here's the leading gop candidate running for conservative party's nomination basically saying i want to help middle class and raise taxes on some of the rich. hasn't got that much media attention because i ask you, trump is covered differently than everyone else. >> his immigration plan made a far more explicit effort to connect it to struggle of working class people than traditional republicans do. look, he's an unconventional

candidate. he's doing this his own way. >> do the media not take his positions on these things -- >> a lot of it is just covering the car crash if you want to call it there's not a lot of analysis. i want to say on bush thing, jeb bush looks like he's lost a step. he's not reacting well to the media environment. he made huge mistakes this week. we're seeing these candidates do a good job with media. >> it's august. simon, jim, thanks very much. have the hispanic media need to hire fast?

donald trump's dustup with jorge ramos has put the

spotlight on how the span irlanguage media treat him and we're back with our favorite cuban-american commentator mercedes schlapp. would you say the hispanic media treat trump with great hostility? >> i think that's a fair assessment to say that the hispanic media is treating him with has filth. in fact, they are failing to mention what you would favor a lot of pro-immigrant policy that trump is pushing on immigration, so, for example, he always -- trump always says, well, we'll keep the good ones here or send them back. they are good people here. we'll expedite them and bring them back. that's never mentioned or barely ever mentioned in hispanic media so there's definitely -- they don't cover the whole story to a certain extent. >> on cnn it was said the press wouldn't have beaten up on jorge ramos for the way he acted at the news conference if it was lester holt or some other african-american journalist who asked the question so this is

discrimination for what the media did. >> trump has made immigration issue his most important issue and basically having a fight with jorge ramos. so, again, i think it's a narrative that the media is trying to push forward, and, again, it's unfair. >> if you're a hispanic jaurnlist or hispanic reporter or commentator, can you take the position that the immigration laws in this country should be enforced without being denounced by your community? >> first i think there are certain hispanic journalists like jose diaz-balart who say we need to enforce our laws, yes, they go into that route and then there's the question of 11 million and what you do with them, and that's something that journalists have been asking not only president bush but president obama and it's now become so trump-focused because trump has made what you would consider, as you know, like rhetoric against hispanics, and

that i think that the hispanic media has just responded in a way that really has become an emotional and personal issue for them. >> i've sometimes asked this of black journalists who take on their own community by going against the conventional wisdom. i mean, is there a lot of pressure, p-pressure almost, that if you don't follow that line you will be disparaged by people who kind of like your friend, your buddies and colleagues in. >> you know, i don't think so. it's interesting with the hispanic media because hispanic community is so divided you've got 67% mexicans and then you've got cubans and salvadorans so it's a mix, diversity to an extent but the hispanic journalists who court the mexico viewer they will be a lot harsher when it comes to talking about trump and immigration policy and what they expect to be done with immigration policy. >> important not to portray it as a monolith. >> absolutely right. >> thanks very much. still to come, your top

tweets, cnn's dom lemon talks about porn sites, i know, it's strange, and why stephen colbert said he got sick of his ranting and raving character. stay with us.

in our press pics, incredibly weird, on cnn wolf blitzer asked don lemon involving reports about the killer of two journalist. >> he was involved in launching these gay porn websites. what's your reaction when you hear all of this in. >> i think that the gay porn site thing to me, i don't really see the relevance of it, because it's -- if it's not illegal, then what's wrong with him owning gay porn sites or straight porn sites or as a journalist forming, you know, a media company like, you know, dan abrams did. >> dan abrams and abc responded

a site that started mediaite, nothing porn graphic about it and don lemon hereby wins the bizarre analogy. top tweets, who was right in their confrontation, donald trump or jorge ramos? trump was the adult in the room and gave the spoiled brat a time-out in the hall and then answered leadership versus insanity. neither, but trump failed in that he wasn't gracious and didn't recognize the genuine angst animating ramos' interruption. both are wrong, trump by being abrupt and not providing specifics and ramos by advocating instead of reporting. ramos was there to grandstand and trump was even gracious enough to bring him back and ramos got more time than anyone else. that is true. all right. stephen colbert made a good living playing an angry conservative blowhard on comedy central but as he gets ready to take over david letterman's show he tells "time" magazine he was sick of that character. >> i know i'm just playing at

being a pundit, but if you do it over and over and over again you have to keep going pack and sipping a cup of the poison that you're mocking. i suspect that audiences don't want to hear that monetized divisiveness. the business model of anger, i think people are tired of. >> sure. now he wants to be seen as a real nice guy. look, colbert has a point about anger, but for him that poison was very profitable. by the way, i mentioned maria r. she did not make them on cnn but on msnbc. that's it for this edition of "media buzz." i'm howard kurtz. go on our facebook page and give us a like. we respond to your comments there. you can be part of the conversation e-mail us @foxne us @foxnews@mediabuzz.com and you can also dvr the show.

don't want you to miss it and play it back at your own convenience. back here next sunday 11:00 and 5:00 eastern with the latest buzz. a major shake up in the democratic race for 2016 presidential nomination. an eye opening poll showing hillary clinton's lead falling to single digits. this is the fox report. hillary clinton getting 37% among democratic caucus goers. hot on her heels, bernie sanders at 30%. this is the first time hillary clinton's support has fallen below 50% this year. third is vise presidential biden who has not entered the race formally. senator sanders was quick to
