happy father's day. >> "media buzz" is up next. >> have a great week, everyone. >> on the buzz beater, donald trump tells me that media hostility is partly to blame for the roughest stretch his campaign with details of my latest interview with the candidate. donald trump is drawing an avalanche of negative coverage after the orlando massacre especially after suggesting that president obama has a hidden motivation on terrorism. >> look, we are led by a man that either is not tough, not smart or he has something else in mind and the something else in mind is people cannot believe it. >> donald trump in his first reaction or tweet was to give himself a pat on bat and then he suggested that the president of the united states is involved in the orlando terrorism. >> the republican party candidate is saying that

president obama may have been complicit in the killings of americans is beyond breathtaking. >> trump is off online of attack that somehow the president is sympathetic to isis and radicals. that don't make sense. >> is trump bring this on or is media bias to blame for portraying the campaign as a train wreck? and the debate on terror and gun control, are hillary clinton and bill clinton held to the same standard? >> donald trump bars the "washington post" from his event over a bad line and boasts. >> we just took the press kit credentials away. i love it. we just took it away. from the dishonest "washington post" and i said, why did i have people following me around and they write, very untruthful

stories? >> and should he retaliate against media outhealths and bill hemmer and how journalists coach with terror and tragedy. this is "media buzz" today. >> i got donald trump on the phone and asked about recent coverage and he has been vocal about lately. >> love the press during the primaries. but now it is like, brutal, the people are so one-sided. >> here is what he told me, the media are very negative toward a republican and conservative republican and to me and they do not report my statement properly and use the first quarter. there is tremendous' tilts from the media. he said things have changed since he clinch the the nomination when i was run against 16 republicans it was somewhat unfair but now it is

beyond belief they are protecting hillary clinton. i don't think it helps but i will end up winning big league. >> donald trump is convinced he is getting a raw deal and i asked about pulling the "washington post" yes determine over this headline which the paper later softened suggesting that president obama was involved with orlando shooting. he said "i would love to give it back in i am confidence fairly but that is an indication of the press they give me and they said i said obama was in cahoots with this guy. it was horrible and unfair." you can read night my column on fox news. >> joining me to analyze this tragedy and the impact on the campaign, is heidi przbyla with "usa today". and ridsdel with the washington times and co-host of "outnumbered." heidi przbyla, donald trump has

been eviscerated saying this is media hostility. the mistake he has made, is the press guilty of piling on? >> he has had a very bad three weeks with orlando, and the polls dropping and when a candidate at this early in the race is show that big of a drop off the media is going to pile on. a lot. but is it the end of the campaign? no, that is a drammization. there are many twists and turns but at this phase given what we navy the predisposition and the polarization you would expect it to be tighter. >> and the harshest media criticism was when he insinuated that president obama is reticent on terror for hidden reasons. fair or unfair to back off? all the "washington post" headline on that and let me just

have it, it was unbelievable, suggesting that president obama was involved with orlando shooting. >> yes and that -- they too it back, it was linking, linking or saying that donald trump is linking obama directly to the terrorism in orlando. it is false. there was december from indiana university that said only 7% of journalists are republicans and we have seen the bias this week. for example, "new york times" managing editor wrote an e-mail to all of the reporters on monday saying these are emotional times refer from using sole media because we do not want our report to be bias, because reporters are taking to twitter and voicing their own opinions. >> julie, what was worst "washington post" headline, if you agree it was not good or donald trump taking away the credential of the paper as

punishment? >> i thought the headline was incredibly unfair it is not what he said. i don't think they softened it enough considering what he said implying that president obama was in some way shape or farm somehow sympathetic to isis but not necessarily he accused obama of being involved in orlando. having said that, taking away the press credentials of any newspaper especially the "washington post" is unacceptable. what that leads to is the possibility of a president trump banning what he don't like in the white house briefing room. >> he say he would not do it. >> he says it now. >> but the credentials at the white house -- this is "politico" and huffington post and do you want to get in on this? on the yes, credentials? >> i agree with julie. it will have no impact on reporting on donald trump with live stream coverage, the worst

secret is reporter that donald trump talked to is a "washington post" reporter so all it will do politically, is allow the media to have the righteous stump they would not otherwise have. >> pulling back a book and look at 49 people killed, 53 wounded in this horrible heartbreaking attack on pulse nightclub in orlando. look how quickly the finger-pointing began and how much do you think the media contributed to the polarization? >> it was the politicians taking to media, john mccain blaming the president, it was, however, partly the media, the daily news blaming the n.r.a. and it is a human reaction to point fingers after a trauma. i do not this ink that does anything to honor the million riff those who were lost. what does honor their memory, however; to swiftly start asking questions, why this happened? how can we prevent it from

happening again? what we not covering, is what is at the root of this? in terms of this new era in america? what is causing this radicalization in the united states? it gets off too easy to say this is isis and he identified with isis. >> he declared his allegiance to i as he was shooting during the massacre so i don't think it is too much. if you look on monday the press -- every newspaper said it was a mass shooting or massacre. only to referred to as terror, the "wall street journal" and the "los angeles times" in the headlines. >> but there was no dispute it is terrorist attack. >> why did the monday papers say that it was a massacre and not link it to isis? you look at the headlines in u.k., they put isis as a mad --. >> but he pledged i allegiance to the islamic state, and hezbollah --. >> and they all terrorist

groups. >> these are fighting each other in syria. >> but they have a commonality. >> these are groups, mortal enemies, this is a person with a troubled past who had a history going back to high school. we have to look at what it is in our culture because they are not coming from the middle east. >> we are not training them in the united states. >> this sort of, it is terror are it is gun control, it is antigay, all of this happens after every mass shooting and it is all too common. but it seem fast are this time with donald trump some saying he kicked it off with his tweets, but, then, we had speeches the next day, 24 hours later and donald trump attacked hillary clinton and hillary clinton did not mention donald trump. what tour make of the media? >> it is interesting. the media has the difference between those who say it is gun control, and others who say we have to crackdown on isis but what was for gotten largely this

was an attack on the lgbt, a hate crime, whether you want to blame it or guns or blame it on isis, against a community that was maligned because of who they are, celebrating who they are in a place they considered safe. >> was that are forgotten? >> a it was relegated to the back beener. >> because everyone wants it go to their political hobby horse whether it is gun control or to isis and fighting terrorism. everyone has forgotten the fact that this was a hate crime against an oppressed group. >> the lead editorial on wednesday said it was a hate crime and singled out 15 republicans who they blamed in the conservative rhetoric from christians, and christians, they have taken the brunt of the media blame for their policies on lgbt communities. i don't think this was left out of the equation. >> i will have more to say about the editorial but deeply troubling.

>> heidi przbyla, you got your first interview with hillary clinton for "usa today" and she used it to review coming attacks on donald trump. is she learning from donald trump may book? >> in part. donald trump is retrenching at the love the call ins and now she is adopting the playbook but, she is doing something very different from him with the media, at the same time he is kind of declaring us as mortal enemies she is going on charm offensive. >> was she charming with you? >> let me say when you are the star and you get your continue meants with her, she can be charming but as a reporter you barrage and i played into the worst media stereotypes hitting her with questions but throughout, she remained very polite, and very consider immediate so it is a very contrast in the strategy. >> julie, in miami, donald trump said he was disappointed with republican leaders who distanced

him particularly mcconnell and he thought they friends, so that has opened the door as a way of getting at donald trump. >> what is interesting is how undisciplined he is dealing with the media. he made eight step by pointing out that mr. mcconnell have been saying things less than flattering as is ryan and now he brought tax to it. when a presidential speaks the media has the respondibility to report on it. this is a story that was simmering and that the media was cover asking now donald trump has said it allows us to focus on it which is not helping donald trump. so his lack of discipline is hurting his message. >> and now kelly, the conservative media, weekly standards is in an "i today you so," and he has no cheering section. >> there was one positive

editorial about his respond to orlando and how hillary clinton's policies basically are to blame for --. >> saying they should deny donald trump the nomination. >> that was acknowledged in an editorial so some that are anti-trump are seeing republicans are better leaders on terrorism but there is the donald trump movement that will be hounded by the froze give their pend on donald trump. >> you can join the conversation on twitter or mail us at "media buzz" and when we come back the challenge of reporting from orlando on a heart wrenching tragedy and anderson cooper $he cross a line questioning a florida republican about antigay bigotry? what're you, what're you, what're you?

a senator richard burr said orlando and san bernardino, this is not the new normal in america and most americans would agree with that, they get angry, ticked off and for good reason. >> does it take a personal toll when you interview people at the worst moment of their lives when they have lost loved ones or maybe survived a mass shooting, you go home and have trouble sleeping. >> for me i keep it at arm's length because you need thick skin and keep the emotions away or you cannot do your job. our job is to figure out the facts and story and millions of people across the country and around the world who turn in for the story but if we allow the emotions to get in the way, i don't think we would be able to do our job well. i will say, 9/11 it took a toll on me and of all of the other tragedyies, i think of the earthquake in haiti with a

profound exact you understand they have to little to go with and now they have an enormous tragedy brought on by mother nature, it ripped out your heart but ft. hood and boston and orlando and paris, it breaks your heart but if you allow your heart to get in the way of your head and your ability to think you are going to suffer professionally. >> was this different in the sense that pulse nightclub was the center of gay life in orlando and that most of all the victims were gay, and did it have a different feel that some of the other tragedies? >> in a sense it did, you are on to something with that. i will tell you when i saw the news on my phone sunday morning my first questions were: who did it? how many were there? where are they from? their background? their history? >> those facts are essential to the story. >> some shows, some news organizations have chosen not to

show his name or his face and in the early days, anyway, we made a decision to do that and we did it because of the then i just stated. we we need to necessity in an age of terrorism where they are from. that is a very important part of the story. >> is it hard, you talk about whether it is a new normal and certainly it will not be the last time you do this but is it hard to talk to people who are consumed by grief? or have you found that it is more that they want to share stories? >> i agree with the latter, for many it is impossible you think how these people are able to go into the next day and get out of bed the next morning when such a tragedy comes into their life. likewise, i find when people are given the opportunity to talk about it, that is in man ways, that is a way for them to green. i remember down in orlando,

seeing a gentleman in a straw hat there all day long talking with reporting crew after reporting crew and i want up to him and i said does this make you deal with this easier? and he said it sure does when i can share my experience with other people and this is a big part of that. >> bill hemmer reflecting on the tragedy in orlando. >> thank you for your time. >> we decided not to name the orlando and give him infamy. >> and donald trump takes on commentators and next, calling out the media for scoring political points in orlando blame game. think fixing your windshield is a big hassle? not with safelite. this family needed their windshield replaced but they're daughters heart was set on going to the zoo. so guess what, i met them at the zoo. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage.

"new york times" editorial in a twist, targets the going saying hate crimes occur with bigotry allowed to fester driven by republican politicians who see president reagan disas something to exploit not extinguish.

the daily news is a tabloid talking about what we talking about and people on the right who talk about something very different and terrorism. >> we talk about all of issues but donald trump broke with republicans orthodox saying, they back the idea of making it difficult for people on the terror watch list to buy guns. that is major as someone who covered the gun control issue in congress, no republican does. it is partly an indication of why a lot of the voters like him he had a genuine gut reaction, probably a lot of people and maybe even donald trump did not know that people on the no my list can get weapons and he had this genuine reaction. but i want to clarify something from the first segment, i am not lean blaming united states society for homegrown terrorists but i am say we need to ask more questions of how we can do a better job of identifying the troubled individuals with documented history, troubled

history, who are attaching themselves so the ideologies which are inconsistent but all terrorist in nature. >> as far as the n.r.a., they do not want terrorists to have guns and the insinuation has been gross. and now john cornyn has a bill that all, a lot republicans gather around that allows the justic hours to investigate the people on the watch list. it gives them due process and said in there is probable cause they will exit a crime to deny them the weapons. it is unfair narrative the media is pushing that republicans want a reason to have terrorists have guns. that is false. >> i don't think everyone in the media is pushing that but the amendment is good and whether it goes far enough with justice, in they need more than 72 hours but we have had this debate going back to newton and before, and

>> when donald trump pulled the credentials it was over this headline suggesting that president obama was involved with orlando shootings. the paper later softened it to donald trump seems to connect president obama to orlando shooting and donald trump has been boasted not punishing the "washington post" after making the statement that obama, essentially, obama went in and shot the people. what they do, then, is the most dishonest, but there are so men dishonest papers. the "washington post" is a joke. >> he called in sharyl attkisson the host of "full measure," on sunday mornings. >> this "washington post" headline suggests obama was involved with orlando shooting, and do you have a problem? that is both inaccurate and unfair. so that is a problem. >> the "washington post"

softened it, slightly but did not detract or apologize for it and that leads donald trump to pull the credentials. overreaction? >> there would be very few circumstances in which i would against pulling a press credential from someone. i would also say it is not impossible to cover donald trump without a press yes usual when the credentials allow you to get into a news conference and start nexus on planes it does not mean you cannot cover the person but generally, there are very few times i would defend pulling press credentials. >> and "washington post" executive called this nothing less than repudiation of free press bashing the objection, and donald trump said on friday he would love to restore the credentials of "washington post" in he is treated fairly. haw is in the eyes of the beholder and it will be a bigger problem in someone is elected being paid taxpayer money and working in federal building,

happened in that state was a bizarre situation and he was browbeating her for unrelated political thought crimes if her past which did not relate to the task at hand which is roundly condemn the horrific atrocity. >> even she went to court to argue against same-sex marriage in florida, but what did it have to do, did it make her a bigot? >> that was the premise and this is the only way this line of questioning makes sense is if you are underlying assumption is that any opposition to any form of gay rights legislation is rooted in bigotry or hatred. i happen to disagree with pam on most of these policy questions and i happen to be gay but i don't know what is in her heart or assume because she defended the state's gay marriage ban she herself is hateful. >> but here is the thing, "new york times" has rewarded cooper with the growing profile

having fun, and this person based on rooted in ideology and his form of religion decided that his anger and hatred and bigotry toward that group of americanss was going to result in their deaths and he executed 49 fellow gay people not all of gay but it is stomach turning. >> that is true even in the killer towns out to be gay, or latently gay. what do you make of the media coverage that plays down the fact that 49 of the mostly gay people were killed but it is not hate opposed to the shooting in charles continue was clearly targeted at christians. >> we have many indications that this was motivateed by islamic extremism and i believe it is relatively clear that motive for choosing the target was based --. >> that beyond debate but you have to have noticed that some outlets and commentators are

dancing around this. >> there are two things i feel. first, there is something good, these are americans who were killed. it doesn't matter, that is fine. that being said, it is important to note exactly who was killed and why in this case, gay people were the target. >> guy benson, thank you for joining us. >> still to come, stephen colbert andors turn serious and political grappling with the aftermath of orlando. i know what i can expect from usaa

the usaa car buying app was really helpful. all the information was laid out right there. it makes your life so much easier when you have to purchase a car, so i've been telling everybody. save on your next car with usaa car buying service, powered by truecar. >> late night comics are supposed to be funny but it is not possible after terrorist attack. after orlando what is a ritual most of them turned serious with some offering their political views on gun control. >> now, after a massacre, the standard operating procedure is you stand on stage and deliver some well meaning words about

how we will get through this together, how loved ones, how love conquers hate and that is great. that is beautiful. but you know what? [ blank ] i am too angry for that. we can't constitutionally get rid of all guns, but can't we get semi-automatic assault rifles out of civilians? i want to take some guns away. >> i have tried, very hard offer the years not to bore you with what i think. however, i am a father of two, i like to believe i have a shred of common sense, and i simply do not understand why anybody in this country is allowed to purchase and own a semi automatic assault rifle? it makes no sense. >> these are weapons of war.

they have no place in civilian life. even me with a silly show like this you have some idea of what i will say because we have talk about it when it has happened before. >> it is as in there is a national script we have learned. by accepting the script we tacitly accept that the script will end the same way every time with nothing changes. >> i am not criticizing them, whether you agree politically or not the aftermath of orlando was in time for canned jokes, speak from the heart about what has happened all too often in our country. that is it for "media buzz" and i am howard kurtz, happy father's day to all of you guys be part of our buzz, send us an e-mail and i could respond. you can reap me on twitter, as

well, we will try to hole the media accountable. same time, same police next sunday 11:00 and 5:00 p.m. join us for the latest "buzz." >> i am chris wallace in wake of the orlando massacre a renewed debate over how to protect the homeland. >> this congress has mustered absolutely no response to mass shooting after mass shooting. >> do you not defeat terrorism by taking away our gun but by using our guns. today, attorney general lore already on -- loretta lynch on gun control and the threat from isis and the criminal investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails. on the trail: donald trump and hillary clinton square off over terrorism. >> it will happen again and again and again. because we are not doing what we
