nobody's to talk about the deep media divide than howard kurtz during media buzz and be sure to catch it. howie, what explains the deep media divide the way the verdict is covered? >> well, griff, we have to start with the months of media coverage where much of the media vilified kyle rittenhouse as a racial vigilante, as a white supremist and we had to look at the jury trial, it was enough for a total acquittal. many on the left wanted this for a people taking weapons into the zone. and kyle rittenhouse was to white conservativists to kill. no, it was one 18-year-old man. many pundits on the right wanted the message of a right to self-defense. a trial is about one thing, it's about the facts and the evidence and the law and a particular case with a particular defendant, not about some social justice movement. griff: howie, it was fascinating when i was there this week, there was more media than protesters outside of that courthouse. let me ask you though, as we're seeing it spilling over from the media to the political front. both sides of the aisle are getting heated over this, what
