howard kurtz wrote a column and said the media has loved barack obama pretty much until now.y've been paying a great deal more attention to republican politics of late, but now that they're seeing this strategy or lack thereof with regard to isis, they're giving the president, you know, a pretty hard time about it. >> well, this seems to eclipse marco rubio's credit card, shall we say. look, this transcends politics, partisanship, and it's good news that reporters -- it's a shame, it is horrific that it took this kind of slaughter to wake them out of their slumber. but the fact is even christiane amanpour raked him over the coals. you had jim acosta from cnn, our own bill hemmer, bret baier had a conversation about the nature of this. i think part of reporting and what americans and i think the world wants to see is an honesty from the individual addressingd. it's been so long since we've seen that. and alan notes that he was them temperate. most people saw that at cold-blooded. he was this turkey, it was 72 hours after this massacre, and he started talking about global warmi

fox news media analyst howard kurtz is the host of "mediabuzz." saturday night, sarasota.s what trump said. he doesn't make fun of anybody. watch. >> all of sudden i found i was mocking somebody. the person has a disability. and the person said, i know him. i know him. but you know, and i said when? in the 1980s. the 1980s. i don't mock people. i don't mock people that have problems. i don't mock people that have problems, believe me. bill: you've got that story that is linked to the muslims on september 11th and this story goes on on and on and on. today, howard, where is this story now? >> well trump is on the defensive. only reason i'm inclined to take him at his word he wasn't openly mocking the serge kovalasky who interviewed him, a limited disability, limited use of his arms is donald trump is not dumb. if he was doing that, he would get called on it. this is classic trump, bill. we have trump going a bit too far with his rhetoric. talks about celebrating muslims on 9/11 in new jersey. nobody has been able to find the tape. he gets whacked by the press. he hits back

the's ask our media experts howard kurtz. good morning, great to have you with us today. they didn't want it to be about them, they wanted it to be about the candidate and the questions they are answering. reporter: that's what happened. the lead story in "u.s.a. today" said it all. it was two hours of substance about issues people care about. taxes, healthcare, the economy. there was no bashing of the moderators. a little wonkie at times. martha: when you have got the gotcha questions and you are pitting them against each other. the candidate jump out and have more liberty to go after each other. i thought they were better behaved last night in part because the moderators set that tone. if thing are out of control people jump in. donald trump sometime disappeared for long stretches because he didn't want to interrupt. i don't think there was anybody on that stage who wouldn't say they had a full opportunity to get their message out. martha: that's a theme peer seeing with donald trump. er type we watch him we hear the phrase you just said. he seems to disappear for a whi

. >> and howard kurtz is a fox. and what was he mocking the disability?ound by making fun of reporters and idiots and losers and twitter the and not everybody likes the media. it is it evident he stepped over the line. because he was not mocking serge. he is a great guy and journalist and obvious be he has limited use of his arms and it looked like trump was doing that impersonation. >> and some of the tweets he sent out. and one of them. i don't know the reporter for the new york times or what he looks like. i was showing a person to grovel to take back a statement long ago. and the failing new york times should focus on fair and balanced reporting. yesterday three boring articles and today two. >> and it seems to me that trump is in a position where he's on the defensive. and one of the few battles with the media. donald trump is a smart guy. he would not deliberately make fun of a reporter with a disability. it is about the arukcle that was written back in 2001. and saying authorities in new jersey detaped for questions some people that celebrated the
