a fun evening. >> it is. >> i'm glad you do it every year. see you next year. >> all for a good cause. >> absolutely. it's does it for us, "media buzz" is up next. >> have a great afternoon. stay with fox newschannel as we cover this election. take care. orrow on the fox business network 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. eastern. join us. back in a moment on fox. on our buzz on the buzz meter, the campaign runs smack into the new york press corps as donald trump tries to bounce back in his home state after losing wisconsin. and ted cruz gets a bronx cheer. >> you know, lying ted cruz came today, he couldn't draw 100 people. you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on new york values, like we're no good. >> ted, this obviously -- shouldn't have stead. we know what you meant, but new yorkers are taking it a different way. deal with it head on. when you saw this, what did you make of that? >> i laughed out loud. look, i have never been popular with left-wing journalists or tabloids. and frankly, that's not my

target audience. >> are the media overhyping the chances of a contested convention? hillary clinton losing wisconsin and now wyoming, pushing back in new york against brooklyn's bernie sanders who says she's not qualified to be president. is the press finally doubting that she'll coast to victory? "saturday night live" back in the headlines for taking a few whacks at the donald. [ laughter ] >> i'm voting for you! [ laughter ] >> in the post jon stewart era, can comedy shows still hurt the candidates? my sit down with jill kelly, smeared by the media as the other-other woman in the david petraeus sex scandal now reveals their private emails. how petraeus deceived her and why it was a mistake to stay silent. i'm howard kurtz, and this is "media buzz."

ted cruz easily beat donald trump in wisconsin this week. the pundits offered a mixed verdict on when this was a major defeat for trump or just made it slightly harder for him to reach the magic delegate number of 1,237. >> there's something about his support that is so solid that despite the loss in the face of all this, it shows a remarkable staying power. >> cruz victory making it almost impossible now for donald trump to reach the magic 1,237 delegate number before the republican convention. >> trump's campaign ripped cruz saying he's a trojan horse for a gop establishment that's trying to steal the nomination from the billionaire. and some in the media found that too harsh. >> i think he acted like a baby. there's a time to be magnanimous, you lost, you lost, move on, shut up. >> the texas senator landing on the cover of "time" with a condescending headline, likeable

enough? and some pundits struggling to understand his appeal. >> i am a city guy. i don't get the cruz thing. i don't get him. >> joining us to analyze the coverage, heidi presbala, senior political correspondent for "usa today," gate trotter, writer for "the daily caller" and marla hanson of national public radio, a fox news contributor. heidi, is there a manic depressive quality to the coverage from cruz has totally changed the race by beating trump in wisconsin to trump's going to be on a roll when he creams cruz in new york? >> gee, the media's in such a quandary. trump had this air of almost inevitability prior to wisconsin. and then wisconsin happened, and it completely blew up the narrative. i think a lot of people are confused on which way to go because the truth of the matter is, if you look at the numbers, 90% say they're now expecting this contested convention, which a lot of reporters have no clue how to kind of read those tea leaves and how the delegates are going to line up. it's going to become confusing

process, shifting from just covering state-by-state coverage to delegate math and intricacies of how the different state conventions work. >> fox news puoll out has trump at 54% in new york, more than twice as much as kasich and cruz combined. gail, that statement i referred to on the night of the wisconsin loss, why the trump campaign, said that cruz is breaking the law by illegally coordinating with his super pacs, didn't offer any evidence. you think the press moved on a tlietsds quickly from that controversial statement -- a little too quickly from that controversial statement? >> i think they did, but i think the public is not really interested in this. we have the back and forth. cruz made the allegations that the trump campaign planted the "national enquirer" story. that had as little evidence as trump's statement that cruz had coordinated illegally with the super pac. i think the public is really not interested. >> not interested in which part? isn't it our job as journalists to blow the whistle when one candidate makes a charge that -- with no scintilla of evidence

against another candidate? >> certainly. the journalists need to put the facts out there, but it's the public's role to decide if they're interested in pursuing it. >> on sunday morning, is donald trump on zero sunday shows -- he's been low key since losing wisconsin. he had the big rally on long island, and every cable news network had awaiting trump rally. it's like they don't know what to do when he's not out blasting away on twitter and giving multiple interviews and feeding the media beast. >> they in the media. they don't know what to do? that's right. that's possible. donald trump has sucked all the oxygen out of the room. he's been a huge driver of ratings. the whole republican primary has been the donald trump show. but i think what's interesting about the media not knowing or not knowing wheno call this a sure path to a contested convention, that 90% number is from insiders who expect a contested convention. the interesting thing about the exit polls in wisconsin is majorities of republicans don't think there should be a contested convention. they think the nominee should be the person with the most

delegates, not a magic number of 1,237. >> we certainly know the inside verse been right about everything in this whole campaign. come on. >> it means there's no media monolithic line on this because nobody knows what's going to happen. >> all right. let me come back to this "time" cover story on ted cruz. likeable enough. does that get to the heart of the issue, or is this the media elite looking down its nose at ted? >> i'm sure gail's going to completely agree with me on this. >> absolutely not. >> i think it's fair just because as someone who covered ted cruz in the senate, this is the central question, not only in terms of where he is in the campaign right now, but throughout his entire career. ted cruz completely changed the culture in the senate from one of being about personal -- politics of party and advancing the politics of your party -- >> no -- >> to personal politics. he used the filibuster. that was his weapon of choice. and his brand was obstructionism and confrontation. he made a lot of enemies.

and now, the big question of where we are in this campaign right now is can he get those same people to come over now rally behind him. you look at his supporters, even people like lindsay graham, best he can say after a big victory is not congratulations, ted, but o ho, this will hopefully create a path to donald. >> we have to talk about the piece itself. it is so slanted. it is "time" magazine's effort to to puncture the balloon of ted cruz after his surprising victory in wisconsin. it is so slanted. it has this quote in it talking about there's this painful choice that republicans have to make between trump and cruz. that is definitely the media elite of washington and new york saying that republicans are not excited about these two candidates who generated so much enthusiasm. >> let me jump in. when you say, when the article says that he's the most hated senator in washington and quotes, you know, john mccain as having called him a wacko bird and john boehner as having called him a jack ass, that seems to be fair political

commentary. the likeable enough headline, the implication is he's not a very likeable guy, or is me? >> you know where that comes from? barack obama's backhanded compliment of hillary clinton saying she lacked warmth and was cold bloodedly ambitious. >> you're likeable enough, hillary. do you want to respond? >> gail, i've been in so many off-the-record meetings with republicans, and they could not believe some of the things that ted cruz did on the hill to kind of alienate not only the leaders but the rank and file. it started with the shutdown, pushing things that he had no chance of happening to stop the -- shut down the government over obamacare. >> with the republican voters, that's what the republican voters wanted. that's why boehner's no longer speaker of the house, that's why we had the senate majority because the republican voters were saying they've had enough of these senators -- >> the question is -- >> not responding to what they wanted. >> can he get the establishment? these are the people he's called the washington cartel. the same people he's -- >> but it's the media's

responsibility -- >> what's interesting about this, of all the many pieces of conventional wisdom that have been completely obliterated by the republican primary, one is that you have to be well liked in washington to prosper in republican primary politics. no, you don't. ted cruz is not only second now but he's also cleaning up in all the shadow campaign delegate selection. >> yeah. >> but i think there have been other reporting this week including an article in "the new york times" where kelly ann conway, running one of cruz's super pacs says things are changing. the establishment went from saying oh, my god, do i want to be stabbed or poisoned, to maybe he's a regular conservative republican, and i can live with that. >> let me bring it back to new york. trump, as we all expected, is throwing the new york values line that senator cruz used in iowa back at him. i think the new york media are all too happy to amplify the charge. >> of course, of course. this is new york. look -- you showed "the daily news" headline, take the you know what train --

>> two subway lines -- >> and -- this is new york is so in your face. we cannot from wisconsin nice to new york nasty. and you know, he has -- ted cruz learned that in the bronx, a jeer is a jeer. and he went through the hazing ritual over the tabloid headline. but yes, this is all being pumped up. his goal still if he can keep trump to under 50, i think that's going to be tough. that's what counts as victory. >> the "boston globe" today has this mock front page put out in the opinion section. we can put it up on the screen. "deportations to begin," this imagines we're already in a trump presidency. "markets sink as trade war looms. new libel law target the "absolutely sdmum pre" absolutely scum in press." does this go too far? >> certainly trump voters, if this was intended to reach trump voters, are going to view it as crossing the line from providing information to advocacy. and they may also be offended and think that they're talking down to them with some of the specifics that were in there. at the same time, it's an editorial, and it's completely within the realm for an

editorial to raise questions about what the implications of a candidate's policies will be. >> it's an opinion section. there's a company editorial that calls trump un-american, demagoguic strong man. this strikes me as the media not just opposing donald trump, not just saying he's a bad candidate and would be a terrible president, but almost screaming that he's a threat to western civilization. >> i'd say it shows that the mainstream media through this presidential election cycle has descended into fear mongering and hysteria. what they're putting out, it simultaneously reminds me of ted kennedy's character assassination of bob bork during the senate supreme court hearings -- >> those are politicians. have you ever seen the media -- not just the left wing media, mara, it's the "national review" had the big cover against trump with 22 writers. the media attacks donald trump, which he loves to run against, have gone up to def con 2. >> the "national review" is a self-identified conservative publication. the "boston globe" that has a

liberal editorial page, i think this is not obliterating the firewall completely because they place that on the editorial page instead of the front page calling it a parity, in the opinion section -- a parody, in the opinion section, but massachusetts to date was donald trump's best state. he got 49 point something of the vote, even though it's a blue state. in the republican primary, he did better there than anywhere else. >> he's going to be influential gs goi going into states like connecticut. >> they clearly do not agree. we're running out of time. coming up, new york's massive media mob at the center of the political universe. which candidates can handle the tabloid times? and later, hillary and bernie using the media megaphone to trash each other. is this finally a real race?

now that now that the campaign has moved to the raucous battleground of new york, donald trump is throwing back at ted cruz a certain phrase the iowa senator had used. excuse me, the texas senators had used in iowa. >> do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on new york values like we're no good? we all lived through it, we all know people that died. i've got this guy standing over there looking at me, talking about new york values with scorn in his face, with hatred, with hatred of new york. >> of course, the reference to 9/11, trump visited ground zero this week. cruz got a less than warm welcome at his first stop in the bronx. [ shouting ] >> immigrant community, ted cruz. immigrant community, ted. >> immigrant community! >> a bronx cheer from this "daily news" cover telling him which subway lines to take. you can see which ones. joining us is charlie gasparino

one-time reporter for "news day" and senior kosht and all-around loudmouth at fox business. >> thank you for that wonderful introduction, howie. >> how pumped up is the new york press going to have a presidential primary in the state that matters and to be able to pound the candidates in their enimitable fashion? >> it generally doesn't matter. it generally always goes republican, democrat, excuse me, but now we do have a contested, very strong contest in republican primary. and keeping trump under 50% is a key goal of ted cruz. i know that from talking to his people. they believe they can pick up delegates that way. and the tabloids will have a field day. i should point out also, i write an occasional column for the "new york post." i'm kind of involved in this a little bit. >> sure. so -- since your a tabloid expert and a little fwhiflted ed in the world, the culture of new york city, is it determined to kick ted cruz around? >> it's a good question.

he makes an easy target because he's from texas. let's be clear. and donald, you know, if you're going to talk about a guy that's been -- like a marine and a navy s.e.a.l. and green beret as it goes for tabloid coverage and dealing with the tabloid media, that is donald trump. he survived the vicious news cycle here back in the early 1990s when we read about his multiple divorces, almost being -- i think he was insolve at one point, and he came back from that. >> he didn't just survive. let me jump in, he didn't just survive, he thrived. almost a creature of the tabloid media. he knows how to get feuds going, get ink. i think all of that has been to his benefit in this presidential campaign. >> well, it helped his resiliency. also was negative. i mean, i think we are at the point now where people, particularly republican voters, i hear this a lot, in new york state, as well, they're sitting there saying do we really want this guy as our president. do we really want a guy that's so tabloid driven that you'll --

that no sort of attack is below the belt, do we really want this guy as the republican nominee? i think it's starting to backfire. i will say this, the "daily news" attacked cruz and trump early, called him a clown. put a clown face on him early on. i will say this, the tabloids, i would say, and -- like i say, i write an occasion am column for one, they're not as powerful as they used to be. the news is different now. we don't see people reading the tabloids on the subway anymore, if you take the subway, which i do a lot. it's a different culture. >> sure, well, i would argue -- >> the power is diminished. >> everybody's gone tabloid. i take your point. newspapers in general, not as powerful. before we go, what about bernie? you have hillary clinton, she obviously, the former senator from new york. but she's from illinois. bernie's from brooklyn, he sounds like larry david, does that help him? >> yeah. i think it does. i mean, he gets coverage. listen, i thinking about from new york helps when you know how to use the tabloids and what power they have right now. i think donald is a master at that. that doesn't mean he's going to

get over 50% because i think at some point voters look at this, and i think he's seeing that in new york, and they're saying do we really want this as president. a guy that sometimes is unhinged unfortunately. >> all right. charlie, thank you very much. and hillary clinton leading in new york in that fox news poll out this morning with a substantial double-digit lead. ahead, jill kelly, the woman caught up in the petraeus sex scandal on, being smeared by the media. next, how to the presidential candidates are battling the press or blaming the press as the campaign turns red hot. the campaign turns red hot. americans. we're living longer than ever. as we age, certain nutrients become especially important. from the makers of one a day fifty-plus. one a day proactive sixty-five plus. with high potency vitamin b12 and more vitamin d.

all the candidates seem to be blaming the all the candidates seem to be blaming the media or mixing it up with journalists. i can't remember a presidential campaign with a role the hot was so contested. ted cruz insists the mainstream media earns the donald's corner because he said he thinks virtually all journal rivet

partisan democrats. >> -- journalists are partisan democrats. >> our friends in the media tell us that donald trump is unstoppable in new york state. [ booing ] >> our friends in the media are comfortable with the new york liberal who's supporting andrew cuomoey and hillary clinton -- cuomo and hillary clinton. [ boos ] >> ooh. cruz says journalists love trump because he's liberal, a nice bank shot that hits both targets. we all know what trump thinks of the disgusting press, and he got into this with chris jansing when he asked about the contentious interview with radio host charlie psychs. >> sometimes you go into unfriendly territory. that's part of the game. >> reporter: that's what you consider wisconsin to be? >> no, you said a radio talk show host. that's what i mean about the dishonest media. >> i'm asking you a question -- >> excuse me. >> i'm allowing you to answer it -- >> you're asking me about a show host. i said he was unfriendly

territory. you said, is that what wisconsin -- >> you don't have to talk about -- >> that's dishonest. >> let me ask you -- >> do you know what that's called? dishonest media. >> jansing did set a trap for him giving trump an opening to turn it back on her. bernie sanders cited a "washington post" headline, clinton questions when sanders is qualified to be president. and justifying his attack on her as unqualified for the white house. while the headline was a stretch because clinton didn't use those words, sanders reverted to one of his favorite themes. >> let me be clear, this is not the type of politics that i get toet -- i know it's what the media loves. >> bernie whacked hillary because he thought she had whacked him and blamed it on the media's hunger for conflict. thanks a lot. what's also striking here is how much newspapers have mattered in this campaign. sanders took heat for his lack of detailed answers with the new york editorial board, unable to say what laws he would tuesday break up the big banks. trump got knocked for his session with the "washington post" editorial board for telling the "post's" bob

woodward we're heading for a massive recession, and his comments to two "new york times" reporters on nato and nuclear policy. sometimes, not always, the press is actually doing its job. it also happens to make a pretty fat target. ahead, now that "saturday night live" is mocking donald trump, is the show becoming a political factor again? first, the media suddenly focusing on the democratic race again as things turn nasty in new york between hillary and bernie. it's your home. it's everything you've always wanted. and you work hard to keep it that way. sometimes... ...maybe too hard. get claim rateguard® from allstate. it helps keep your homeowners' rate from going up just because of a claim. so protect your home and your rates. talk to a local allstate agent and discover how much more their personal service can do for you.

the citi double cash® card. it's a cash back win-win. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. with two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. after bernie sanders after bernie sanders clobber the hillary clinton in specific, the two ratcheted up their rhetoric in media appearances for the new york primary such as when cnn's chris cuomo asked hillary about comments by bernie's campaign manager. >> jeff weaver said something interesting, inflammatory, on our air here. saying, you know, the clinton campaign, secretary clinton, they need to be careful not to destroy the democratic party.

merely in pursuit of her own ambition to be president. very strong words, your response to that idea? >> well -- i mean, it's just ludicrous on the face of it. >> sanders then held a news conference and hit back. >> campaign will fight back. so when you have headlines in the "washington post," quote, "clinton questions when sander is qualified to be president," my response is, well, if you want to question my qualifications, let me suggest this -- maybe the american people might wonder about your qualifications, madam secretary. >> we're back with the panel. gail trotter, bernie sanders calling hillary clinton unqualified after claiming she said the same about him. is this why the press suddenly seems more interested in this democratic race? >> i think so. it's newsworthy. the "washington post" later that week had a piece calling out bernie sanders for saying that hillary had accused him of being

unqualified. >> three pinocchios. >> three pinocchios. yet, bernie is relying on the "washington post's" earlier headlines, going to that conclusion. so i think that it just shows that these fact-checking pieces are opinion pieces in the guise of objective reporting, and the "post" is loving all of this drama. >> yeah, the "post" headline was misleading because she had merely declined to say when she thought he was unqualified or not. in an interview when she was pressed three times -- >> dodged the question. >> she dodged the question. >> after so many months of, you know, this high tone, i disagree with the secretary on the banks, you can sense that isn't this what tv wants, personal attacks? >> of course. and he said in the speech, i know the media wants us to do this. you know, he also is facing a kind of do-or-die situation in new york even though he's won eight of the last nine. a lot have been in red state caucuses. >> yeah. >> and he needs to try to beat her in her own home state. but what happened at -- i think msnbc in a town hall, he said, yes, i think she's qualified. >> it was funny, pushed into it,

right. because it's a new york primary, you had hillary clinton trying to get on the subway, having trouble with her metro fare card. i've seen that nine million times. i think we've got the video up. >> he thought you used a token. he told -- >> the token. >> put a token in. >> it's been many years since bernie lived in brooklyn. the pundits always come back to, well, there is interesting, but hillary clinton has an insurmountable delegate lead. if she were to lose new york or to be close after losing eight out of nine to bernie, would -- and wyoming yesterday, would the media's storyline shift to are there potentially serious weakness in the hillary candidacy? >> i think we may already be there. the reason is because i don't think she has to lose new york for that narrative to be relevant. look at all of the advantages that she supposedly should have in the state, having represented it. it's most importantly a closed primary where the independents who have been carrying bernie cannot vote. if it even comes close there, i think that people will start to, you know, people being the media, will start to raise real

questions and alarm bells will go off about her strength as a general election candidate. i don't think people will say that she's going to lose the nomination. i think there will be real questions raise good her strength in the general -- raised about her strength in the general. >> hillary clinton went on "the view." here she is with joy behar. >> you have donald trump saying things like women who have abortions should be punished. i mean, it's frightening. >> right. >> it's frightening. what do you think will happen to women if a republican gets in -- if trump wins, god forbid? >> he started in his very first day saying that all mexican immigrants were rapists and criminals. the way he treated megyn kelly who is a superb journalist -- >> yes, she is. >> right? i don't understand what he thinks is the role of somebody running for president. >> so gail, let's start with joy behar saying trump wants to punish women for having abortions. is that his current position? >> no, it's misleading. she's spreading false information. if you go back and look at that

interview with chris matthews, trump wouldn't even agree that a ten-cent fine on a woman would be appropriate. he wouldn't even say that. >> he did say in response to the hypothetical questions that women should be punished and then the campaign kind of walked it back. >> he did release a statement. but if you go back, i think the most newsworthy thing was his pushback on chris matthews and his catholicism and calling him out for the media angle of that. >> heidi, what about what hillary clinton said about trump's famous or infamous comment about mexican immigrants? >> look, there's so much that is said that is inaccurate. like trump never said all mexicans, he said some are nice implying that he thinks many fit into the category. >> this tone of desperation -- >> that was an over -- obviously, that was an over generalization. >> did the media give up on trying to blow the whistle on exaggerations -- ? the last cycle, i remember being part of a grand fact-checking celebration, we're so wide eyed and optimistic about fact checking things the candidates said. now, there's too many

exaggerating things on a daily basis. we're also demoralized. when we put the fact checks out which i can tell you, you know, from the heart, we're trying to do a good job of fact checking these guys. it doesn't matter. it doesn't get the clicks or the traction. some -- we still put them out. but we're human beings, too. if it doesn't seem like people care about your product, you're going to do something else. >> and if hillary clinton admires megyn kelly so much, why doesn't she give an interview? >> maybe she should. >> okay. you're on board with that. it's such a strange campaign. bernie sanders the only jewish candidate going to a vatican conference. questions about the -- did the pope approve this. finally, all these stories about the trump campaign having big shakeups because paul manifred, republican strategist, brought in to run the convention. is that overdone? every campaign has internal tensions. go ahead. >> i was going to say the campaign shakeup is like catnip. you can't resist it. but you know, i think the story

has been covered pretty straight. trump knew he needed a professional. he hired paul maniford. maniford goes on tv and says, i speak to -- i report to the boss, and we're going to get more traditional. >> some of the headlines -- >> they've been like meltdowns. >> that was nothing, "game of thrones." >> "hunger games." >> "hunger games," excuse me. sorry "game of thrones." >> when there's a real shakeup, you're seeing people being -- >> fired. >> layered over. disgraced. >> no firings at this table. i hope you kmaul baall come bac ahead, the 9-year-old reporter who isn't taking give from her critics. coming up, is "snl" doing to donald trump what it once did to sarah palin and al gore?

"saturday night live" may not be the cultural force it was say a couple decades ago, but it has a long there's a long history of mocking presidential and vp candidate which office display again this past week. >> my plan, jim, is different. rather than squander the surplus on a risky tax cut for the wealthy, i would put it in what i call a lock box. >> i can see russia from my

house. >> tonight i want to address the pesky media that's crawling up and under that skin of mine, camera two, zoom in. i have survived everything that's been thrown at me. >> when i say women, you say suck -- women di-- >> suck! >> is this for laughs, or can it be damaging? teresa guthrie joins us, of "the hollywood reporter." does the mockery of trump portray him as mean to women? did it have any political impact? >> i don't think it has any political impact. i think that trump's base is not going to be swayed by "saturday night live." they're probably not even watching "saturday night live." it does reflect the broader narrative that is taken hold about trump in the last couple of weeks. >> a lot of people say the show is not as relevant as it used to be even when, say, tina fey is doing sarah palin. trump thought the program was important enough to co-host. and i'm not saying, you know, is it going to change votes because

they made fun of donald trump, but comedy shows can have a way of perpetuating a cultural narrative. >> that's right. and i think that he was obviously, "saturday night live" having his co-host, getting in bed with him at that point. they were light on him for many month after that, even some of the cast members there said as much. certainly on that show, that he co- co--- he hosted, they had to pull their punches a bit. now obviously, you know, that was in november. the gloves are off. you've seen him put his foot in his mouth over the last couple of weeks. and they have pounced. they have been -- >> you said "snl" follows the polls. if trump dips, it can be more vicious. >> yeah, but trump has given "saturday night live" and the other skmeediancomedians, ammunh the david duke kkk thing, with the missteps on abortion, and so

while they always had a lot to work with with trump, they have more. >> speaking of comedians, he is food or the late night circuit. here's stephen colbert with sort of an interview with donald trump. >> how do you respond to anderson cooper comparing you to a 5-year-old? >> anderson cooper's a dumb-dumb. a stupid head, total poopy pants. it's sad. >> right now, i've got to see you are sounding maimture? >> i know, you are, what am i? >> the cartoon donald trump. now look, last night on "snl," kate mckinnon did her hillary clinton. i thought that was more gentle humor. the comedy shows are kind of being a little bit more hostile that trump. am i wrong? >> i think they are being more hostile to trump. and i think that -- maybe they've -- they've been being hostile to hillary all along. so to doesn't seem like they're

being suddenly hostile with trump. "saturday night live" would be nicer. i think also the comedians appreciated trump. lock at john oliver's take on trump -- look at john oliver's trache on trump. that was on the nose. a lot gets under his skin, and he's going to react to the stuff. that's going to perpetuate their comedy. >> the one good thing is darell hammond is back doing impersonations. i think he's terrific. thank you very much for stopping by. >> nice to see you. thanks. after the break, the media pointed her as the other-other woman, rumored to have improper relationships with two top generals. now jill kelly reveals the emails that landed her in the midst of the petraeus scandal. i was absolutely frustrated, absolutely. i did not think chantix

would work as well as it did. , chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. i did it. i quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

jill kelley jill kelly was stalked by a mystery e-mailer who turned out to be her friend, david petraeus' jealous lover, paula broad well. when kelly went to the fbi four years ago, the investigation led to petraeus' resignation for sharing classified information. leaks sparked a friendsy that trashed kelly's reputation over her friendship with general petraeus and general john allen, a story that everybody covered. >> investigators say she exchanged thousands of emails with general john allen, top commander of the war in afghanistan. those emails they tell us were pretty explicit, according to one official who's seeing them. the official called them the equivalent of phone sex over e-mail. >> kelly has a book out called "collateral damage: petraeus, power, politics, and the abuse

of privacy." i spoke to her here in washington. jill kelly, welcome. >> thank you. >> when some news outlets suggested you were having an affair with david petraeus, when other outlets quoted sources as saying your emails with general allen were between flirtatious and phone sex, what was it like to be in the eye of the media hurricane? >> you know, it's -- it was an experience that no person, no law-abiding citizen that goes, seeks help from our fbi for protection, should ever go through. there are many women out there today that have stalkers, when it's cyberstalkers or physical stalkers, but to then have their e-mails exploited and completely mischaracterized -- actually false lies it their emails, it's an awful feeling to see how, number one, you're watching tv and know that's absolutely not true. >> how did that make you feel about the press, and did you feel helpless to fight back?

>> what i've learned over time is -- it's not a very comfortable or warm, fuzzy feeling, but the press was misled by these top political officials. >> the people who did the leaking? >> that's correct. these unnamed sources. these smear merchants. >> at the same time, though, you were kind enough to do your only interview with me, a print interview three years ago. alwau to come on do you regret not speaking out? most journalists had no way of getting your side. you aren't talking. >> i regret -- one of the many -- one of the two things i regret. first was going to the fbi for help. the first thing i regret is not speaking sooner. you always follow your advisors and to be told don't speak, there is nothing you did wrong, you went and reported the crime and attention is going to be on the stalker and the fact that y the cia director because he was

compromised, that's what's going to make the news. but unfortunately, the government officials that were so preoccupied in covering up their wrongdoings that caused him to resign abruptly without kong having knowledge about the national security that was t compromised without the media knowing what was going on about an fbi investigation basically about the personal life of the general. >> you also l describe in the bk how>> petraeus -- you were clos friends with him andy his wife and your husband -- >> right. >> -- he asked you to go to the fbi and drop the charges because this was going to hurt him. you did that. and then resigns after obama's re-election and he sends you a note saying i screwed up terribly and i need to do the honorable thing and you write, i know we'll never recover from the irreversible damage that was done by paula broadwell, so i do not think it's too much to make one statement to right what we have worked so hard our entire lives to earn because of your affair. how hard was it for you to know he wouldn't say anything saying you were inspect?

>> you know, looking back now, he was in a very difficult position, a very -- you know, between poor holly, what she endured, what my family experienced, the fact that he was compromised by not only his stalker but by his losses. >> right. but you repeatedly asked him to help you clear your name. >> right. >> and he didn't want to do that. >> right. of course, it's disappointing because of all the damage that these -- his political enemies did to us as collateral damage just as they did to him. >> by releasing many of your personal e-mails with him and others aren't you doing to him what you say government leakers did to you, which is invading re hiss privacy? >> no no, not at all. actually our privacy was destroyed in 2012 by the smear leakers and smear merchants. that's destroyed. what i'm doing with these

personal e-mails is to show there was no other other woman. none of this is true. it was completely bogus and the fact our government continues to collect e-mails of millions of innocent americans today, i'm trying to say what happened to me can happen to you. >> how did you feel when you learned of the e-mail from sidney blumenthal, writing to hillary clinton then at the state department calling saying whether you owe opted the generals and admirals to make yourself the queen bee in the tampa social circle and saying your were a vicious dope. >> i was taken how sexist that was. if i was a man, joe kelly, that e-mail never would have transpired. there are so many -- every leak number one was sexist, completely sexist. s and no woman should ever go through that just because they reported a kriechlt these falsehoods that were leaked are completelyke bogus and defamato and really puts women behind.

it's not fair what they did. our country has come far along where women can have positions and make a difference and not be queen bees. >> just briefly, the collateral damage, the title of your book, how lasting is it, will it ever be reversed for you and your family? >> no. the damage has been done. general allen, he was completely humiliated and resigned -- i'm sorry -- retired in that kind of shame after serving our country so proudly. my family, my innocent kids -- the damage that happened to our family, the pain we endured -- e it was -- it's irreconcilable. >> jill kelley, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> you can see more of my interview withh jill kelley tomorrow on our home page. still to come, the new york newspaper editor who is not sorry for helping donald trump with his speech. and a scoop that defies her critics.

"the new york observer" has a rather close relationship with the trump campaign, not surprising given that its owner jared kushner is married to donald's daughter ivanka. today the observer's editor helped donald trump with his speech before apec. the paper also changing its policy will no longer shy away from covering trump. he's unapologetic telling the post he basically looked at draft of the speech. quote, it is a complicated world and i don't intend to let the 11 people who adopted themselves the media police at age 48 tell me how to speak. hilde kate lysiak reported a murder in her hometown. what makes this noteworthy is hilde is 9. >> i got a tip from a good source an then i went straight to the scene and asked neighbors

for more information. i worked very hard. because of my work, i was able to inform the people that there is a terrible murder hours before my competition even got to the scene. >> the budding journalist has gotten plenty of mean messages, some calling her orange street message a complete joke and sensationalist trash. she responded. >> i know some of you want me to sit down and be quiet because i'm 9. but if you want me to stop offering news, then you get off your computer and do something about that. there. is that cute enough for you? >> i love this girl. and not because she is cute. because she actually understands journalism and the need to scoop the competition. hilde, can we hire you, i mean in a year or two? we're trying to reach the younger demo. that's it for this edition of "media buzz."
