from media analyst howard kurtz. first, a closer look at jeff sessions in the way forward for the administration when it comes to the attorney general, many insiders expected the mild-mannered attorney general to be gone at some point following that rocky relationship with the president, but today's action did catch a lot of people off guard especially since the president was asked about it at the news conference. catherine harris is here with us with details, what do we know about how all of this came to be? >> based on the reporting i heard from contacts, in the midterms, the president, the republican party was able to expand its majority in the senate, the president would move very quickly to push out jeff sessions which is exactly what we saw today. >> bret: what does this mean for special counsel robert mueller? >> we haven't heard from the acting attorney general about the special counsel but there's a lot of attention tonight on the knob that he wrote last summer that said if robert mueller investigates the fi

i am howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz". after a week of violence and white-hot rhetoric especially around immigration, new "washington post" abc poll finds more than half of registered voters and 49 percent say president trump and the way he speaks is encouraging politically motivated violence. in that same survey, about half of those questioned, 47 percent say the media are encouraging political violence with the way they report the news. 15 percent disagree. abc correspondent karen travers asked the president about the pole friday but only cited half the result. >> half of americans are your encouraging political violence. >> you are creating violence by your question. you. and also, a lot of the reporters are creating violence by not writing the truth. the fake news is creating violence. >>howard: joining us to analyze the coverage is molly hemingway, senior editor of the federalist and a fox news contributor. - - former democratic state senator in ohio who teaches at american university. i understand the difficulty of s

media analyst howard kurtz has a story. >> trump's proposal would get us closer to the purpose of theamendment and for that he is being denounced nationally is a racist. >> reporter: two hours before his fox news show last night tucker carlson learned nearly 2 dozen anti-fascist protesters were outside his washington home chanting insult and demanding he leave the city. >> we know where you sleep at night. >> reporter: the left-wing demonstrators rings carlson's wife and four children and pushed against his front door until it cracked. carlson told me these were not protesters, they were people who came to threaten my family. designed to shut people up. suzanne scott and president j wallace, more civil national conversation, called the incident reprehensible, violent threats and intimidation tactics are completely unacceptable. the group, smash races in dc, the address of carlson's brother and the daily caller, staged protest against such republicans as senator ted cruz. this is part of a wave of conversations targeting gop lawmakers, homeland security chief kirstjen neilsen. and sena

fox news media analyst and host of fox news media buzz howard howard kurtz what's at stake for cnn andident. >> we are taking action after the white house >> it's a lawsuit came after the white house yanked the credentials of acosta who has a history of lecturing and confronting the president following this clash. >> that's enough. >> pardon me, ma'am -- >> i tell you what, cnn should be ashamed of itself having you work for them. you are a rude, terrible person. >> sarah huckabee sanders called the suit more grandstanding from cnn who has nearly other than 50 credentialed --dash refused to surrender the microphone to an intern so that other reporters might ask their questions and this was not the first time he acted inappropriately. sanders didn't repeat the administration's highest contention, that acosta landed hands on the intern. he says, the first amendment gives journalists the right rio hold officials accountable's and ask tough questions. >> we are asking for emergency relief because every day this pass is revoked as a first amendment violation and irreparable harm under the l

howard kurtz, host of "media buzz." austan goolsbee, former economic advisor to president obama. victor, why does president obama feel he always has to come out and try to rebrand his presidency. it seems really insecure. they always claim donald trump is insecure. seems like it's very insecure to say i am the one who got the oil stuff going when the facts frankly are not there. in comparing the two economic records, as you see andrew puzder did yesterday. >> the progressive mind-set sees politics as a 360-degree, 24/7 operation or job so the last day in office is the first day of another progressive career. we saw that with jimmy carter. he always had the comment and editorialize and travel when reagan was president. during the bush presidency, al gore and bill clinton were quite active in criticism. obama is doing the same thing. for them, it's a nonstop activity. they need a ranch. he should go to hawaii and buy a farm and focus on netflix. reagan went to the ranch. w went to the ranch and let his predecessor being. it's kind of -- not an irony that we have an antithetical pre

stuart: come on in howard kurtz, media buzz host.y doing this, goading the media, because he loves their response? >> absolutely. you could see how much he is enjoying himself with the word loco, sticking it to the press. one of the big problems with the way most of media cover the president, they do overreact, when he sticks it to them, baits them. he said the first sentence he wants to unite. you think after the elections would be good move politically for the president. he may have little choice if democrats win the house. right now he is seems to enjoy the partisan warrior role. stuart: do you think he is wrong to do that? the president of the united states, the media is the media, he is going right after them, highly critical, clearly provocative, is that the right thing from you as journalist? >> i think sometimes he goes too far. i said to this before and american people. enemy of the american people, i don't like that line, i don't think journalists are traitors. it i a two-way war. he is getting pounded, pummeled, brutal fas

howard kurtz is with me now. let's take the viewers through.orning at 11:00 a.m. a hearing set for 3:30 this afternoon. where are we on this, howie >> we'll get the first look whether a federal judge will take seriously cnn's claims in the president's decision to retaliate against jim acosta. this suit is more of a p.r. effort than a legal one. i don't know we get a profound ruling out of this. it casts cnn and jeff zucker as champions of the free press and this is why i think the white house stripping the credentials was a strategic error. it took the spotlight off of acosta constantly interrupting. refusing to give up the microphone and turned him into a journalistic martyr. it has -- >> bill: what i've heard from the white house, there are 50 other staffers at cnn who still have access. not a violation of first amendment because the network has access to the west wing. sarah sanders statement. i'll let you answer this. we have been advised that cnn has filed a complaint challenging the suspension of jim acosta's hard pass. more grandstanding
