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

i love howard kurtz. he always treats me so nice. yes, yes. really i'm focused on one very big election. >> you're watching donald trump right now at trump tower. he's trying to sell a new book that he's releasing just today. he's trying to sell himself for president of united states. in the process he says marco rubio is weak on immigration, has credit cards problems. says ben carson weak on immigration, problems with medicare. says jeb bush falls asleep at the podium and just about everyone else in the race should drop out. he said that. joining me is michael, trump biographer and nan hayworth who supports carly fiorina. this is sort of vintage trump right now. long, rambling, relishing the spotlight and not letting go of it. >> it is vintage trump. you can see that the reporters were sort of overmatched by him. he's a terrific performer. he has -- he's almost like one of the dolls you pull the string on the back and out comes a line. with every question, he's able to deliver a snappy line. doesn't have much content but it's effective. >> na

and joining us now is howard kurtz, fox news media analyst and anchor of "media buzz."an look into a lot of different stories, why did you decide to look at this one specifically? >> well, i soon realized, jenna, we don't really know exactly what happened at new york's roosevelt hospital on that night almost 35 years ago, and it turns out that a guy named dr. steven hall ran -- excuse me, dr. david hall a ran, who was a 29-year-old resident at the hospital at time, is the one who actually opened john lennon's chest, massaged his heart and tried to save the former beatle. unfortunately, he was too badly injured. he is speaking out for the first time. for years now the former hospital emergency room administrator, dr. steven lynn, had said he is the one who performed the emergency resuscitation on lennon. but i have three nurses, three eyewitnesses who were in that trauma room who all say dr. halloran did this. he finally got annoyed enough about the publicity to speak out. i put these questions to him. we can take a look at that. four people who were there, david hallora

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

. >> 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

howie kurtz i love him he treats me so nice. who? yes, yes. really focused on one very big election, important election. i'm not watching any of them in particular. i watch them on tuesday night. i will be out there, we'll be out voting. but the election that i'm watching is the election for the presidency of the united states. that is going to be, in my opinion, this will be truly one of the most important elections we've ever had in this country. we're so far behind. we can not go another four years with incompetent leadership. good question. >> [inaudible]. >> fine. >> [inaudible]. >> okay. what else? one more question. go, go ahead. >> [inaudible]. >> that's a good question. okay. so simon & schuster came up to me. they wanted to do a book. they wanted it to do on success and how do you do this and how do you build it. that's what the book is largely about but we talk so much about the country. i said i'll do it but we have to talk about the country. what happened is they sent this incredible photographer up to do a book cover, to do a pic
