howard kurtz host of "media buzz" is here. did this technique work for him?ed and disciplined speech and probably reminded his supporters why they like him. but it sounded like a canned politician speech. it's unfair for a pundit to say donald trump needs to be more serious but then when he does it say he was kind of flat. but it was a marked contrast from the off the cuff unscripted from the gut which has defined a new way for him running for president. bill: he would prefer no teleprompter. >> trump had a tough task last night, unlike hillary clinton who smoothmatically eliminated bernie sanders. he was coming out of a firestorm. paul ryan, effect book racism. mitch mcconnell, he should apologize. senator mark kirk, unendorsing him. he was fighting a two-front war. it was quite an extraordinary situation. bill: barack obama used a teleprompter for his entire presidential career. it's become the norm. >> it's not a felony for politicians to read what is written by a speech writer. but trump is such a gut player. a couple people noted, wow, he hasn't tweeted

. >>> joining me howard kurtz. i love the title of your column. how the media portray trump's campaign apocalyptic now. >> if you look at the coverage being brutal. it looks like he is totally imploding. trump has made mistakes particularly in the wake of orlando and a lot of republicans are openly criticizing and distancing themselves. and he's slipping in the polls and fund-raising, but you have to remember that in the primaries, many in the press said over and over he couldn't win or this or that controversy would undo his campaign by tuesday and he won. >> i hear what you are saying, but i have an informal poll of people feeling free to reach out and e-mail and text and what they think is going on. and it is gone negative trump. people who liked him before. wow with, he did it. and oh, my gosh can he turn around the numberses. it reached a new ponent where he's having a tough time for a consective week. >> he's having a tough time. those 70 percent negatives in the latest poll is a stunning figure, but, a lot of these stories are driven by jou

howard kurtz is the host of fox news's media buzz. he joins me now. tell us? >> well, if katie couric deceptively edited that, this falls in the category of a misdemeanor. it's hardly surprising that a new york liberal op-ed would write a piece. he interviewed a guy, a head of a gun collector's group and he said in the piece no fan of the national firearms act and would like to change the law but also quoted him as saying it's not true, if you register a gun under this particular law, it means the atf can show up at your door at any time. he said it was out of context, he implied that he was okay with the law when he actually wasn't. >> basically, he's saying it was taken out of context in the way that didn't jive with the truth. >> yes. but the author did interview him. >> now, on the katie couric front, let's just show the clip. what happened was that they interviewed a gun control group -- i should say, a gun rights group. this is what aired in the documentary under the gun. watch. >> if there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you

your favorite media critic howard kurtz is here. first, let's get back to california. happening right now as bernie sanders shrug -- slugs of hillary clinton winning nomination and vows to fight on. >> this is not me talking but the democratic national committee, do not lump real delegates from superdelegates who may or may not change their mind. trish: clinton picking up endorsement from house minority leader nancy pelosi and a endorsement is expected anytime now from president obama. there has been no mathematical path for bernie sanders since march to win this nomination so what the heck is still doing in this race? we have gina loudon and matt lipman. matt, i will start with you, you're a hillary supporter, what do you think, why is he still there? >> i've been asking myself that question for a while, trish but you know it is pretty logical which is he has thousands of people chanting his name. he is flying around the country. he has rosario dawson telling him how great he is and compare that to senate, with ted cruz telling everybody how much is stinks to being in

howard kurtz is with me. the host of media buzz on the fox news channel. impression -- you can say this is political or not. but it's my impression there is two distinct different approaches being taken here. the left, that would be president obama and hillary clinton viewing this as primarily a gun control issue. and a hate issue. donald trump looks at it as a security war terror issue. and i think that's the way it's being portrayed in the mainstream media. you disagree? >> yes. and we've been through this so many times before where candidates and commentators retreat to the ideological corners. i notice it he white house the president just said it shouldn't be either or. but clearly his emphasis, hillary clinton's emphasis has been on tight background checks and gun control and, boy, really iniveness cover the l.a. news has thanks, nra. stuart: howard for the benefit of our viewers who have not seen it yet, this is the front page of the daily news. thanks, nra. as you said, howard, in other words, it's purely and simply a gun issue and that's it. >> at l

. >> howard kurtz is a fox news media analyst and host of media buzz. great to see you.up, still a lot of never trumpers in there and trump supporters fed up with many not getting behind the nominee not only because they love trump but because they can't stand hillary and can't understand why even hold outs won't get on board to support her. >> there is that split in the republican party. what struck me tonight is that donald trump is fighting a two-front war. and he is battling loud voices in his party. hillary clinton said it's almost exactly what the republican senator said in announcing he was uneven doersing trump. she had the easier path tonight. >> we're learning she's created a new website, trying to win over, they're going after the elements of the other party they believe are and he got hammered over the military donations to the veterans and we spent the week talking about how this his comments on the hispanic judge that can't be fair because his parents are from mexico. >> yes. he can't help himself, he likes to lash out at critics. i strz struck by words whe

howard kurtz in washington, d.c. martha.artha: the other big story, investigators are about to release the transcripts of the conversations twine the police and the shooter during the orlando terror attack but they say one part of that will be redacted and that is the shooter's pledge to isis. why would they do that? our panel will debate that decision, plus this. >> final section. it's over! it's over! cleveland is a city of champions once again. the cavaliers are nba champions. bill: generations have passed. to be able to say that. they are partying in cleveland. for very good reason. celebrating the first major sports championship in more than 50 years. martha: a lot of happiness. >> 52 years. ♪ [we are the champions ♪ or the rd norfolk! and i just wanted to say, geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there. geico®. proudly serving the military for over 7

cheryl atkinson told fox howard kurtz on media bias over the weekend that the established media startedout trump because they hated. roll that tape that minute. >> the president gone further than i've ever seen it in just deciding that opinions of what was considered straight news reporters and news organizations and his programs. opinions are welcome. we are kind of agree in this case it seems that it's okay to pile on trump because everybody agrees. i hear people say that because this is a time to stand out. they think is strongly personal that they can step over the line. stuart: that's whayou're up against. >> journalism has changed a great deal and modern journalism it's okay to insert your opinion. it's also the right to the mind of the candidate. you can tell why he didn't been saying, which is crazy. stuart: i don't have any problem with people expressing an opinion and a news format so long as everybody knows this is opinion. that's what we do here. i have a lot of opinion on this program. tell people this is opinion. i've got a problem when the mask arrived mile-of-the-road jo

stuart: when you need expert commentary on the state of the media you turn to howard kurtz, host of media what we had to say. is he roughly accurate? >> a former executive editor of the conservative daily caller, i don't agree on this point. many reporters who cover hillary clinton, i don't think they are in our of her, don't think they have broadcast critical pieces about email scandal and other things. i do think they are captive, hillary clinton has not held a news conference this year, five month, don't have much access to the candidates. they follow her around the country and get nothing from her and that is a problem. stuart: it was a contentious situation when donald trump faced the media earlier this week or maybe last week. that was more contentious. reporters not exactly having a go at him but pressing questions which we have not seen with hillary clinton. she has not really met the press for six month. >> if hillary clinton held a press conference and got softball i will be the first to criticize but you don't get a chance to question the candidate. to donald trump's credit a l
