it's all about nothing. >> joining me now howie kurtz, host of "media buzz" on fox news. howie, good to see you. we kind of gave andrea mitchell a hard time in the first segment, but we have to press her back saying dianne feinstein who hillary clinton said needs to come out and speak with this is not some talking head but they're pushing back. >> stays silent for another day and sends out her attack dog james carville to bite the press in the butt. brilliant strategy. there were several things carville got wrong there. start with right wing talking points -- >> your being sarcastic, right? >> a little you picked up on it. the fact right wing and "new york times" is carrying is farce farcical farcical. what journalists do is check out leads and tips and try to confirm it. everything the times reported about hillary clinton using private e-mail account and the a.p. reporting on the personal server is fact. it's not spin. it's not right wing talking points. >> and yet we're starting to get a feel for where they're going to go with it and it's straight out of the clinton play

so we asked howie kurtz to weigh-in on the findings and what is going on with broadcast media as we head into the next big election. he is host of "media buzz" which is right here on fnc, however he spent years and years and years as part of the main street media including at "the washington post." so we can ask his opinion on this. howie, we're number one. so that's nice. and many of our media critics crickics, whatever, came out and said bull -- what? >> i'll let you complete the sentence. fox earned that trust. more conservatives in this poll but finishing first among independents through strong reporting and strong interviews and debate segments with clashing points of view present company included. cnn did well with emphasis on reporting. abysmal last place finish for msnbc which has essentially become 500 liberals and joe scarborough. >> it's true. no one is watching. it's interesting you watch that channel -- i mean i don't watch it but i hear they get more and more desperate by the day. they get meaner. i understand it's hard to be last. and so they get meaner and meaner. and the

joining me now host of media buzz howie kurtz. d to see you. >> hi megyn. >> the story's completely fallen apart. completely. we were out there the night of the doj report telling the audience that it had completely fallen apart. and after we went on the air on march 12th and started to publicly shame the media for staying totally silent, near totally silent on this finally, finally two weeks later jonathan of "the washington post" did a mea culpa to his credit, 18 days later "the washington post" itself came out and did a mea culpa saying hands up don't shoot did not happen. where is everyone else? >> it's hard to admit a mistake especially when you have so much invested in that narrative. and it was a narrative that turned out to be false. yes, as mark hannah said there is a problem in this country and in ferguson, missouri with predominantly white police departments that discriminate black -- >> which we cover too. >> exactly. but that doesn't mean that what happened in this case we should suspend judgment. and it is hard to do

joining us now to analyze howard kurtz host of media buzz which airs sundays at 11:00 a.m. eastern here on fox news. howiee they there all along? >> they weren't awol. within 24 hours of the white house announcing bergdahl's release "the washington post" and a.p. and then nbc a couple days later were all reporting on the desertion question and in some cases interviewing fellow platoon members of bowe bergdahl who said he'd walked away from his post. i think part of what went on here, eric is journalists felt bamboozled by the feel-good ceremony and the trotting out the parents and susan rice saying serving with honor and distinction, clearly that wasn't the case. >> they put that story out there originally, they had to. did they follow-up? i know we follow-up. how the taliban commanders may go back to the fight and have gone back to the fight in some that in mainstream media. >> they did follow-up for a while but as with all stories they tend to fade if they don't have a lot of new information. what was really interesting, eric, is last january when on "the factor" retiring attorney general had informatio
