howard kurtz tells us how the press is very but we start off with catherine herridge. >> james comey testified he needed the memos because he couldn't trust the president. the guy was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting and so i thought it important to document very >> senior democrat on the senate intelligence committee wanted more information on the first encounter with the incoming president. >> what was it about the meeting that led you to determine you needed to start putting down a written record? >> circumstances, subject matter, and the person i was interacting with. circumstances, i was alone with the president of the united states, or president-elect. >> the fired fbi director told the panel that the white house was not straight with him. >> shifting explanations confused me and increasingly concerned me. they confused me because the president and i had had multiple conversations about my job, both before and after he took office. >> the white house said james comey was fired over his handling of the hillary clinton email investigation and the lo

i'm howard kurtz and this is "media buzz." with tapes and briefings in the news i spoke with the president's press secretary. the media are on fire over the president saying he doesn't have secret tapes of james comey. when you said friday the president was trying to enable that the truth should come out, by raising that prospect he insinuated something that wasn't true. sean: he said i hope. he said clearly on three occasions. he said there was no obstruction and he was right. having director comey admit it under oath in testimony proves the president was right. howie: you said with some justification that the media spends too much time covering the russian investigation. sean: other networks were insisting that comey would come to the hearing and undermine the president. the exact opposite happened. comey came and admitted on three separate occasions he told him he wasn't under investigation. howie: isn't that the kind of distraction the white house says it wants to avoid. sean: we want to cover the president's policies and

howard kurtz, good morning to you.y he made on air and reza aslan sent out a tweet and forced to apologize. here is what he said. what do we make of this, howie? >> that's a very half hearted apology because not only in the original tweet did he call the president of the united states a piece of -- using a four letter word but an embarrassment to human kind. he hosts a show on cnn which doesn't take any action. he isn't really an employee, kathy griffin appears once a year and never appropriate to use this kind of language. we're seeing the normalizing of extreme rhetoric from media commentators against this president. >> bill: the normalizing. >> kathy griffin holding up the severed head. she apologized and attacked the trump family and said she was the victim here for something she had done. a language here by reza aslan and other. i find myself writing and talking about this virtually every week. by the way, you know, it's fine for the media to criticize, critique, be aggressive about what donald trump does as presi

joining me for more as howard kurtz host on fox news media buzz. >> president trump joining the criticismhis morning over that retracted story. cnn accepting the resignation of lex harris, tommy frank and his editor. the story alleges that anthony scaramucci, a trap trump advisor was under investigation over ties to a russian investigation fun. he was described as having a secret meeting in january with an official and discussed the lifting of sanctions, but there is no secret meeting. the rest official came up to say hello at a restaurant after the trump confidant had given a speech. this karen mucci, a former hedge fund man said that the story is alive. he accepted cnn's apology and told me last night he has no plans to file a lawsuit. the president is constantly slamming cnn and said this on twitter. wow, cnn had to retract a big story on russia which three employees forced to resign. one of it all the other form of stories they do? fake news. and responded to another mr. trump also tweeted, what about cbs, nbc, abc, and "the new york times" and "washington post"? they're all fake news

howard kurtz is here on the mainstream media reaction to yesterday's shooting in virginia plus breakings on a navy fighter jet with details of the long-awaited review on some of the problems. that's ahead head on happening now. >> sandra: the baseball game is going to continue. they say it's more important than ever to show unity between these two parties. they say the charity event is one way to do that. >> we need to play. this is a game has been going on for over a hundred years. people that want to destroy our lives and livelihood in america, they win if we give in. >> you know some buddies kid, somebody's spouse, played baseball with them, you see them at the gym and you talk with them they are. it's different. >> when my son jack was born, i was chairman of the energy and commerce committee. he got as many presents from the democrats as he did from the republicans. and he still had some of those. >> sandra: the democrats also invited the republican team members for a pregame dinner at the democratic club last night. the game will go on. >> brian: and will and i'll add something el

howard kurtz live with us out of d.c. host of media buzz. good morning to you.ave read about this. what do you think of the decisions from these companies? >> the fault lies with the companies funding this repulsive play. i understand delta and bank of america getting out. "the new york times" jumps out as a sponsor, i'll be surprised if the times doesn't yank its financial support today. this is a perversion of shakespeare. the times is critical of president trump, i can't imagine the company wants its brand associated with this kind of ugliness. >> bill: you think the times pulls out today also along with bank of america. >> it will be a statement if "the new york times" doesn't. if barack obama or bill clinton had been portrayed in this. the editorial page would be denouncing it. >> bill: trump junior tweeted this. i wonder how much of this art is funded by taxpayers? when does art become political speech? does it change things? eric trump sent a tweet. thank you delta and bank of america. this was the right thing to do. our viewers know. the actor has reddis

>> shannon: howard kurtz is fox news media analyst and the host of media buzz.t do you make of those joy reid comments? >> what she is doing is appalling while steve scalise is fighting for his life she is attacking him because she doesn't like his politics and then kind of trying to justify in some moral ground. are we supposed to ignore the fact he hasn't voted the way i think he should vote and for her to tweet that he was attacked by a whiteman but saved by a capitol police officer who is a black lesbian? why bring that into it? it's ugliness. >> shannon: scott pelley before stepping down as the chief anchor on cbs evening news says it is time to ask whether it's predictable and to some degree self-inflicted. what do you make of that? >> it's not self-inflicted. the only person responsible the james hodgkin son who brought a rifle to a baseball game and started shooting? should both sides tone down the rhetoric? yes, i totally agree with that. pelley did say bernie sanders has used harsh rhetoric against president trump. true. then sanders is somehow respons

howard kurtz with us. the original quote june 14th. in 2011 written in the times.pened fire in a supermarket parking lot wounding gabby giffords and killing six people the link to political incitement was clear. before the shooting sarah palin's political action committee circulated a map of target electoral districts that put miss gifford's and 19 other democrats under stylized cross hairs. >> that editorial was mean spirited nraut out wrong and tone deaf coming the same day steve scalise was nearly killed and four other people wounded in virginia. to accuse sarah palin of incitement over this incident six years ago ignores the fact the gunman was mentally ill. no evidence he saw the political map which didn't have a picture of gabby giffords. she has every right to sue but hard to win >> bill: it incorrectly stated a link existed between political rhetoric and the 2011 shooting of representative gabby giffords. no such link was established. the editorial incorrectly described a map distributed by a political action committee before that shooting depicting elector

howard kurtz fox news media analyst. howard? >> seems to me that this is a punch. the white house is trying hard to portray the president as a counter puncher. he wounded himself though. when you look at this and the fact it's soaking up so much media oxygen today, sure, it's fair to point out that joe scarborough, mika, the engaged couple on the morning show have been relentlessly personal and calling the president a liar, a thug, mentally ill and all of that. it doesn't matter. he's the president of the united states. they're cable news commentators. >> shepard: where does this go from here? historically speaking, has there been anything like this? >> apologizing is not the president's style as you know. >> shepard: he actually did apologize after his words about grabbing her in the blank during comments made to access hollywood's billie bush. he issued a video apology. >> that was a relatively rare occurrence. his supporters loves it when he sticks it to the failing "new york times," cnn and all of that. when you get this partial, include facelift about a tweet

. >> heather: howard kurtz is a fox news media analyst and host of media buzz here on the fox news channel us to talk a little bit more about this. why is the mainstream media so obsessed with these shakeup stories? >> very good question. it's a miracle that sean spicer walked out yesterday because at the least, the press kept telling us he wasn't going to do the briefings anymore. as recently as yesterday, msnbc and others were saying reince priebus could be replacing him. stephen bannon was supposed to be toast, he still part of the end and circle. these stories are fun, they're gossipy, they're juicy, and there a lot easier for the media than dissecting the intricacies of climate change. >> heather: here's what kellyanne conway had to say and this is what she had to say about it. >> i went back and look at some of my notes. the very first time i was ever asked about somebody being pushed out of the white house was january 23rd. we had been here for my three whole days. there's been a story a minute about that. i guess learning the finer points of health reform and tax reform and infrast

howard kurtz joins us now with more.he piece that you are writing, we are discussing the reaction of the media. how you can blame that on this type of event. >> i am sick and tired and downright depressed, even amid these calls of unity, there are still some on both sides playing the partisan blame game in the media and in politics. they will separate what happens in media coverage and commentary from a guy, it doesn't mean that it's bernie sanders or rachel maddow's fault, or political commentators who may go too far in the tone of their criticism but we have to separate that from somebody that takes a gun to a baseball field. >> heather: speaking of political leaders, you were going to tell us about something from house minority leader nancy pelosi yesterday. >> paul ryan gave such an uplifting talk, and then this morning, she was talking about the role of fox news in a case where somebody was threatening her. do we have that? >> one of the people that went to jail eventually when they finally found him, when he -- he

howard kurtz looked at with the media may have gotten right and gotten wrong about the comey testimony. he is in the white house briefing room. >> now that we have james comey's testimony, how does it stack up against fÉlix? abc news reported that the fired fbi director "will dispute the president's contention that comey told him three times he's not under investigation." a source tells abc news that the former fbi director will directly contradict what the president wrote in the letter notifying him he was fired. i was wrong, comey says. in the dinner and to phone calls, he did discuss president trump was not personally under fbi investigation, just as mr. confed said. abc also reported that comey will testify that he does not believe the president was obstructing justice and asking him to consider dropping his probe of michael flynn. comey's testimony offers no opinion on whether it was obstruction or not. testimony confirms "new york times" story saying that the president told him "i hope you can let this go." of the flynn investigation. >> i want to find out if there was a problem

for more, i'm joined by howard kurtz. what do you think?of all, they never apologized to sarah palin. this editorial was just reprehensible. it came on the day that steve scalise was nearly killed. for the times to dredge up the 6-year-old shooting of gabby giffords which killed six other people and accuse sarah pillion of insight met with the mentally ill gunmen never even saw this political mask that i was referring to, i thought it was just awful. she has every right to sue, she has every right to be angry, but she's going to have a tough time winning this one. the >> heather: in the meantime, the president continuing his feud with the mainstream media this morning saying on twitter, some of the fake news media likes to say that i am not totally engaged in health care. wrong, i know the subject well and one victory for u.s. he also tweeted this. the failing "new york times" writes a false story after falls a story about me. they don't even call to verify the facts of a story. a fake news joke. he agrees. they have a problem with the medi

here is fox news media analyst, howard kurtz. >> the media narrative, four how special elections was clear. the democrats could capitalize trump's difficulties beginning april with kansas. >> there trying to turn their grassroots opposition trump -- but, the national republican congressional committee seems a bit spooked and kansas is not the only red state where republicans are sweating. >> after the g.o.p. won the kansas seat, the media said montana candidate was in trouble for body slamming a reporter. he won anyway. the media drumbeat drew louder. especially for georgia democrat jon ossoff. taking on republican karen handel. headline... >> the democrats have been seeing these races as a best shot for a pickup. republicans are absolutely desperate to keep that seat read. >> president trump woke up to this today. the approval rating is down to 36%. he knows he will be blamed if lose. >> pulling polling guru tweete. when ossoff lost, some liberal commentators quickly played down its significance. >> the republican win in georgia, it should be breaking news. >> they should have one t

his pound of flesh from the press corps, here is fox news media analyst and host of media buzz, howard kurtz president trump was not the only target for james comey, he also took direct aim at the press. the former fbi chief was especially critical of "the new york times" story from february, trump campaign aides had repeated contact with russian intelligence. >> so the american people can understand that, that report was not true. is that a fair statement? >> in the main it was not true. >> comey did not specify what was untrue about the times article, but many media reports are off the mark. that's because in his view most sources cited by journalist are uninformed. >> i'm not picking on reporters, but people talking about it, often don't really know what is going on, and those who actually know what is going on, we are not talking about it. >> in a broad in his indictment of the press. >> you were stunned about how wrong they got the fax. >> yes, many stories based on classified information about lots of stuff, but especially about russia that are dead wrong. >> comey says that the fbi do

. >> melissa: joining me now for more on this, fox news media analyst howard kurtz. incorrect, what do you make of all of that? >> cnn and abc went pretty hard with the notion that when comey testifies he never said such a thing about telling the president he was never under investigation. he was kind of picking on reporters there. he did single out that "new york times" story. a spokesman for the times told me they reviewed the coverage and stands by the story and would be happy to hear any details from comey are the fbi. that undermines his criticism, he did not say what part of the story was wrong. >> melissa: we know is reporters that if you report something and you are the first to break it and you have unnamed sources, the punishment for getting that wrong is the idea that when you are proven wrong, you will lose credibility and you are embarrassed. i wonder in this cycle when there is so much flying by all the time, do you really pay a price with back when you run a story and it's not true? >> sometimes you do. this hearing is a perfect example, a good chunk o

fox news media analyst and host of fox's media buzz howard kurtz reports tonight it's not the first time hollywood has crossed the line and its treatment of the president. >> kathy griffin has apologized for a photo shoot with a bloodied mask of president trump's face but that was not enough. cnn, after initially saying it was evaluating the situation, said the election it has terminated her agreement to continue costing its new year's eve special. griffin's twisted attempt at humor, in an age of all to realize his beheadings, suggests she expected applause for joining the hollywood hatred against donald trump. >> yes, i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. >> madonna paid no price for sharing this violent fantasy. meryl streep used the golden globes to accuse trump of bullying people. stephen colbert offered a nonapology for this crude sex joke. bill maher told a incest joke. kathy griffin took down the photo. >> the images disturbing. i understand it offends people and i beg for your forgiveness. i went too far and i made a mistake and i was wrong grade >> some n

. >> heather: joining me now is howard kurtz, of fox media analyst and host of media buzz, thank you more to talk about again today. it was energy week if anybody remembers that, president mooney from south korea was here but instead we are talking about more tweets. >> president trump has an uncanny ability to step on his own story using twitter, even his own allies acknowledge that. last night, the travel ban would have been the lead story everywhere but instead everybody is buzzing about the tweets against mika brzezinski. it is the lead story with "new york times," especially with joe scarborough and mika brzezinski spending a half an hour this morning to respond to the president, question his mental fitness for office, this is going to go on for days. >> heather: let's just take "cbs evening news" alone, we have a study that was put together, the trump tweets, 2 minutes and 34 seconds, the travel ban, 20 seconds. case law and the sanctuary city bill, zero seconds spent on that at all in the tire "cbs evening news" ." he is playing into their hands, right? >> the administration h

fox news media analyst and host of fox's "media buzz" howard kurtz reports in the latest in what's becoming long line of offenders. >> comedians are known for pushing the edge but these days some are apologizing for going way over the line. belmar is the latest offender, using the n-word on his hbo show. >> we would love to have you work in the field. >> work in the field? >> senator, i am a house [bleep]. >> he said he was sorry for using the racial epithet. hbo called it inexcusable and tasteless. this came days after kathy griffin faced an intense backlash. >> i went too far. >> after cnn and some sponsors dropped griffin, she held a tearful news conference blaming the president, who tweeted she should be ashamed of herself. >> a sitting president of the united states and his grown children and the first lady are personally i feel personally trying to ruin my life forever. >> other antidrug comics making crude attacks have watched their ratings rise pay >> the only thing your mouth is good for is being vladimir putin's [bleep] holster holster. >> the president is the target of other comm

so howard kurtz publish that james comey has gone from hero to zero more times that humanly possible.hill, who was criticizing him, loves the guy. >> they love him because of what he has to say. that is that the president is a liar, in "the new york times," they had one criticism that they got a story wrong that happened to talk about the alleged collusion between mr. trump, his aides, and russia. that was wrong. nobody came out that he was a boy scout. "the new york times" called him shakespearean. how short memories are. this is a guy, whom hillary clinton blames for losing her the election. >> jon: and he made some choices, decisions, in the hilary matter that everybody has palms. >> absolutely right. i think james comey is very aware of that. look, hillary clinton email investigation. he earned the wrath of the establishment. this is his redemption. he is anti-trump. it's also interesting, the narrative change. he met with the president, and if he felt he was being pressured, dan did he have could go down. i would like to hear from the other fbi people that he shared that with, be

here now, howard kurtz host of media buzz, molly hemingway is senior editor at the federalist and foxet me start with you with the media punishment that was meted out in this piece and get your thoughts on that and then i want to share another piece of it. >> my first reaction was ouch. i agree that we are awash in a sea of spin and speculation and prediction driven by this hyper-speed news cycle and that these hashtags are often wrong and disconnected from the news that people want. here's how i think the indictment goes too far. there are still lots of performers who will at least try to get it straight. they just don't happen to be the kind of people you see popping off on cable news panels. >> let's look at another piece from this editorial that he wrote this morning. what i had heard from the media and the political class has been so spectacularly proven wrong by events again and again that i sometimes wonder why read newspapers, following journalists on twitter. he still does that out of habit, what do you think? >> it's not just that there is so much conventional thinking or gr

fox news media buzz howard kurtz joins us now. howard, i have to say, i think enough is enough.of public display of violence directed towards our president, encourages violence. what say you? >> not sure if it encourages violence but certainly is, just a new low in a culture, in an entertainment world, stuart, feels free to do any vicious depiction of president trump. this makes kathy griffin look like a girl scout. this is repulsive idea to have this clearly trump-like character, stabbed to death in front of a american flag by a bunch of senators, call it art is perversion of shakespeare. stuart: what about the media? same thing is happening in the mood he yaw. i think that is the encouragement to violence. >> well you know, it is interesting, isn't it, one of the sponsors of this new york public theater of rendition of trump as caesar is "the new york times." i will be surprised if "new york times" follows lead of delta and bank of america, pulls its support. "new york times" extremely -- stuart: they are taking their time like cnn they fired the host who tweeted obscenities a

howard kurtz with us, fox news media analyst. howard, welcome to the show. >> thanks, stuart.gh this, the general conclusion it's a win for president trump, not a full total win but a very strong win. how do you think the media is going to play this? >> i don't think there is any other way to report this, at least a partial victory for the president. we've been through two versions of the travel ban. rounds of federal appellate courts knocking it down, challenging it. here you have the supreme court, obviously a hearing in the fall, the supreme court could have accepted case, not made any public comment, looks like four or five, possibly more justices feeling that key elements of this plan are constitutional which kind of knocks down the public perception, certainly media narrative it was a badly-botched, badly-drafted overreach by the trump white house. stuart: i'm thinking it is rebuke to the lower courts which said it was unconstitutional and brought in what president trump had said and some other leading republicans had said during the campaign about muslims. this seems to

joining me fox news media buzz host howard kurtz., your reaction to what that man said on msnbc, deal with that one first, would you. >> what thomas roberts said was over the line. to suggest somehow for his own political self-interest that president trump is trying to provoke or might be trying to provoke an attack on u.s. soil, in other words that americans would be killed and he would politically benefit, i just don't know how you get there. you can frame it as speculation or speculation are. it is offensive. stuart: he still has his job. i want your comment on reza aslan calling our president an obscenity in a tweet he sent out. he has still got his job. what is with cnn? >> that is so far beyond the pale that i can't believe reza aslan is still employed by cnn, by the way, put out meally-mouthed statement, he is not employee, some kind of contractor. he has a show on the network. never appropriate to say this kind of thing. he not only called him a piece of what, excrement, but embarassment to humankind. that personal attack on

joining us fox news media buzz host howard kurtz. ping keep this story alive? >> yeah, does seem like anytime the story will slow down 12 or 14 hours, there is presidential tweet, gives us fresh headlines. i was frankly puzzled by that exchange, jay sekulow, member of trump legal team was on several shows, chris wallace's, most contentious news on "fox news sunday,," sekulow, under investigation, he was pushing back. then he said, no, no, president is not under investigation because semantic game, because yes, he has not been officially notified by special counsel robert mueller that he is under investigation but at the same time mueller is looking at some actions that involve the president of the united states. charles: i think the issue, when we talk about president trump, perhaps keeping this alive, you have leaks and particular case, "washington post" putting this story out there, he said more than one occasion, he has amazing platform than any other president had. others had radio, others had tv he can get around "the washington
