rather than target the media. rnment took a roundabout route to deliver the message to the domestic audience. again to a political company and an op-ed piece. >> we were panicking. few want to be seen to do something. it's good for them to try to handle the external audience. it was not in the article that nigerians had not heard before. it was not thought through. that contract is not going to be renewed. once the election is gone, that's the end of it. he will not be asking anyone. if you think of the government which needs to promote... >> china, russia, we talk to regimes which are not really open, and they are not good at communicating. they need someone who do that in the manner which would interest a particular newspaper. especially in the "new york times", "the washington post", bloomberg economies. c.n.n. et cetera. these are elite media, and these are run by professional journalists, so the role of the political pier to turn that information around in a manner, which would be acceptable to a professional

for the media. and i think there is sort of some preemptive fatigue. >> it already started. we'll talk about this in the next segment. i've read several articles about hillary clinton. >> oh, she's all over the place. >> 2016 teams and a week out from 2014. that seems a little out of walk. >> i agree, but that seems to be the interest and it's what you see in midterm coverage. you see bill and hillary clinton out on the campaign trail and every race in the country. >> that doesn't mean the cameras have to cover them every single time, but it's good for you because you cover hillary. we all remember "the washington post" story saying a convicted felon somehow got on an elevator with president obama. well, yesterday, "the washington post" had a story saying, huh-uh, our sources now say this guy was not a convicted felon. that story rain on the bottom of page 2. that was an embarrassing mistake. >>> heed, a look at why media fact checkers are sail to derail misleading attack ads. >>> also, is hillary cl

the sweep? here's a hint. and big media companies cutting tie with bill cosby as more women come forward in television interviews alleging that he raped or assaulted them years ago. >> there is no comment about that. >> the loss of innocence that i suffered and these women out there suffered is why i'm sitting here today and i don't care about what cosby or networks or anybody says. i am -- you will hear me. >> why didn't the women speak out earlier? and are the media convicting the comedian over ancient allegations? >> an uber executive threatens to hire researchers to go after critics in the press and target sarah lacy. she will be here. >> and newly released e-mails show the administration complained about atkinson out of control. we'll ask the former cbs reporter about that. this is media buzz. >>> the debate over illegal immigration has been raging so for long the president's speech felt like another scene in a scripted drama. a moment that abc, cbs and nbc were eager to blow off. the commentators were either outraged

the media is covering what the people want. however, a lost members know this is going to be bad for democrats, a lot of the comments have been pretty inflammatory toward female republican candidates, they choose to say, look, nothing to see here, we will not cover it this time around, so, very different with a republican win. >> even if the final week, not a single time with ebola or the space shift crash and that is the perception of the people who run the programs, that is what people are more interested in. >> what is the story? people are terrified of ebola. it is something that is very personal. isis all are things people w to know about. midterm elections, just another election. the same old stuff it happens every two years. nothing new. >> but it is not the same old stuff in the sense we have a situation where it is likely or probable that republicans will control the united states senate which means they control what goes to the floor and nominations and subpoenas, investigations, and maybe when people look at this, th

obviously the coverage hasn't changed since the media has been the poll that the media has hurt more than helped. we have a long way to go to make people think that we are doing a good job. and it takes time to control what you see. if you don't like what is going on you can do something about it. >> i saw a question on twitter that had to do -- i don't want to get it wrong but it had to do with the emotion, when does your integrity come in to play -- i got to find a question. a role of social media making fergus and a national story. twitter -- twitter hash tag, short a spike when the washington post and helpful reporters were of arrested. what point of the narrative of mike brown's jazz does the story become national? it sparks national coverage. if not what moved the story to the issue of national media? we covered that. leave mike brown why, he was unarmed, shot six times. how do we keep the coverage growing about something that is so important. the coverage is continuing in ferguson. i have not seen much more national coverage. >> i still get press calls. i want people to know t

don't the media usually love videos that are at the very least embarrassing. >> it's something that's legitimate, something to talk about. part of it has to be that i think that there's media buzz. it's not going anywhere, and so therefore, people feel -- >> let's move on, let's move on. by look, i don't think that's a legitimate belief. >> a story, maybe three to four to five days later reporting on something that's somebody's been able to learn about. >> when jonathan gruber was doing damage control. >> i was speaking off the cuff and i basically spoke inappropriately and i regret having made those comments. >> but the point that you were making underneath the choice of news, was actually quite nuanced, you were saying that due to political pressures, the language of obama care had to be somewhat opaque? >> i think the most notable, i'll let your other guests comment on that. th the interviewer went on to ask him current questions from healthcare.g healthcare.gov, the guy admitting that everything i i said before about perhaps the part about -- >> gruber came on and said i spoke ina

heather: howard kurtz is the host of "media buzz" every weekend here on the fox news channel and alsoedia analyst. boy, when i heard that last night, my jaw dropped. do you believe the media covered this responsibly, the entire story? >> in a word, no. the media set a narrative from the outset based on fragmentary evidence -- heather: well, there was a whole lot of speculation. >> some eyewitnesses changed their stories. so many things turned out to be wrong. an unarmed young black man shot by an overzealous cop. in fairness, officer wilson, the department were not putting out his side, so it was a one-sided narrative, but we should have been more cautious, more responsible. heather: it seemed like some networks really wanted to draw parallels between this and the trayvon martin story down in florida which, by the way, rated well for them. >> oh, yeah. this was the hot story when it happened, and i think also, obviously, the rioting that broke out and the presence of tv cameras which i think enflamed and attracted outside agitators. all of this added up to turning into a national melo

don't the media love secret videos with someone saying something at the least that is embarrassing? >> they do and this is a democratic -- a story but he is not a household maim and part of it there is a media buzz toward obamacare being an old story that is implement asked not going anywhere and the media knowledge that is important so --. >> so, just move on? >> but why believe that is legitimate. >> with a story three or four or five days later you report open something that everyone already knows about. >> he went on msnbc and he went on the afternoon show and we will play that audio. >> i was speaking off the cuff and i spoke inappropriately and i re-grow having made the comments. >> your point you were making was, essentially, that due for political pressures the language of obamacare had to be somewhat opaque. >> the most notable thing about the clip is what you did not see dispensing with the discussion of the video and the interviewer went on to ask them current questions about health care from the guy who jump at mitted everything i said before was, perhaps, a party to misl

i know what the media can do. monize a people for something that me being from both cultures. i was born and raised in st. louis in the ferguson area along with north st. louis and i saw something on tv that i didn't see reflected on the streets. so, you know, i was, you know, felt obligated to report what the people are thinking and saying, you know, it's because there's corporations, media, everybody has an agenda. me, i don't have an aigenagenda. i just want this to stop. i have been victimized permly by police so i can know what they can do. >> what do you think an agenda of a media company like cnn's is? >> to get news. to keep getting views, whatever that is. to keep it relevant, to keep that entity relevant, to make sure that everybody has got to rely on them for what's going on. all their reporting for -- like most people before a story is even ran, they have their mind made up. so it's really just appeasing people for what they want. >> i get the sense -- >> the media empowers violence and empower that stu

the media was very well taken. the ten days leading up to the grand jury decision, you had networks from all over the world who had already gone to ferguson waiting for something to happen. >> and promoting it constantly on the air. >> and count the number of live shots you saw from an empty parking lot. and, listen, it's our duty and responsibility to understand the power that we have. >> just by showing up. >> if we're a driving force for that story, we have to be extra careful. >> the counterargument is how can you not be there? something could happen. but it was kind of promoted almost as a show. decision imminent, we're here, something could happen. >> i'm not saying they should not have been there. what i am arguing is that i thought we were judicious in the number of reports that we used and how we used them. i was watching last friday afternoon one other cable network. and it was two hours of uninterrupted coverage from ferguson, missouri. nothing had happened. and if you -- >> the media show? which network

she was attacking the media, talking about the pain the media had caused. one knows the pain that media and unwanted options from the public has caused to my family. i think she meant opinions, not options. did she say anything about the media? >> i think that was part of the reason she was motivated to speak. she had gone months without saying anything. putting myself in her shoes, i imagine it's extremely frustrating to see people like me and you and people in social media, other media pundits who are opining about her mindminds about her relationship, about the type of woman she is, and this was her opportunity to set the record straight and to present to people who she really is. and, you know, while on some end i know there's a certain irony in railing against the media and collaborating with them at the same time, but i think that's why she went through the process so carefully to choose somebody who she felt like was going to be fair. >> no doubt. sources have more power than ever to choose who to talk to. one line that stood out to me in this essay.

time it's obamacare which the media is to acknowledge. is is the number one thing they've been advertising about, yet the media pretends as though it's not an issue. jon: is president obama, you know, is he effectively -- [inaudible] >> of course he is. that's why so many republican commercials are linking democrats with the president. now, these are individual campaigns. your viewers know this. they're sophisticated. there's not one campaign, there are multiple campaigns, different strategies out there. and it is not the potential of republican victories on tuesday, i think, have been written about, signaled. stronger than expected in new hampshire when he moved there. certainly, he's been getting tons of attention, scott brown, and please don't discount that the local press on the ground always loves good dog fights. they are covering these stories. they're covering the ads, they're covering the direct mail. and if there are attacks on obama by democrats distancing themselves or the other way around, my god, i have been reading these sto

, and justify, are based on their critiques of the quality of the media and the work of the media itself, and one thing i do in the become is i kind of reject that idea of mixing those two struggles. they're separate. we have to fight to improve the quality of journalism around the world, but we can't link that to the fight for freedom of expression because we don't want to give -- we don't want to legitimate the notion that if the media is not performing at the highest level, the restrictions are justified. one most important things and contributions people can make, particularly those involved in journalism education, and particularly a school like columbia involved in educating students from all over the world, is to create a culture of quality journalism, because i really think that is a critical defense against government encroachment on freedom of expression, and the rights of journalism. >> host: good. victor, there was somebody before you. hi has been standing patiently. can you speak into the mic, please. >> i'm andrew johnson. how would this issue of global censorship -- how do

is it what it's made out to be in the media? >> people are walking the streets, people are talking. >> can you turn a little bit this way so people can see you face? there you go. as people are thinking as you watch the build up, the grand jury is about to make a decision that could happen at any time, do you think there's going be violence as people have been anticipating? >> i don't think it's going to people what people want it to be. i think they will find great character from this community and this nation. if you look at our streets right now you are seeing that conversation. you are seeing police and law enforcement meeting together. you're seeing protesters saying we want a peaceful protest. >> you are the person who you don't want people to realize the truth of what's going on. >> sometimes there are a handful of arrests out there. two or three or six. and some nights no arrest. >> yes. i'm a policeman. i'm a resident. i grew up here. i live here. >> you do see online people daring police officers to arrest them. is that

>> eric, the media, mainstream media, reflects the culture. they're not interested.elf-sacrificial. really amoral. we all knew the numbers didn't add up. all knew that essentially lies were made to get it passed, all knew all of these entitlements blow up in costs but people and the meet ydia supported it. got to sacrifice myself, and the amoral element comes in, i'll do whatever it takes to get it done as gruber did, basically lie to everyone's face. >> juan, when mitt romney was caught on hidden camera talking about the 47%, that thing was viral. that thing hit every mainstream media outlet. saw it time and time again. some say he might have lost that election because of that video. why doesn't nbc do the same, mainstream media do the same thing, equal, fair, balanced treatment? >> we didn't know mitt romney had that attitude and was always the guy who was the zillionaire who said he was firing people, all the rest. the real point is i'm surprised that you don't get more credit to obamacare critics at the time the bill was up, not one republican voted for it. they

on the 6:00 news locally just wait for the violence to erupt to the point of where it seems like the media is insighting the violence. >> he works and that program airs on the local stations and here's his take on the media in ferguson. >> i think we're fanning the flames. are we making movie stars out of m them? this is one of ours that went viral. the boss loved it. >> the boss loved it. this is exactly what's going on. you can see it. even your intro of everybody's on edge and we're all waiting to see ---almost just a language that we're all using in the media that's helping to encourage this. >> we did a lot of preparation. what if it happened this morning and we were on the air. i think since a lot of outside agitators were there in the past whether we're helping to attract them. >> when you go on a news story you look for the biggest, the best, the worst, the most. they're talking about protestors and some of those people are no more than thugs that they're calling protestors and it's an issue. i don't have an answer but it is an issue. >> there's a magnification question and ten peo

the impact of the social media is huge. i think you get the picture. one of the things that is happened in the u.s. in the last couple of elections, it is also been done in other countries, the meters, where they get a group of people who are cross-section to watch the debates and they react to what is being said. either, it is a positive reaction, negative or neutral. here's an example of the device that they click on. if they are positive about it, they will turn a positive, they keep it in the middle neutral. this is the way the graph comes out. you can see, blue is positive, red is negative. you can see when somebody says something and it tracks the actual moment in which this happens. you begin to see which questions people react to in an audience. they are nonscientific because it is a small number of people but it gives some indication. on some networks, they will how these meters as the debate is going on. the other impact with social media are that you can have real-time questions from viewers. one example is where they have a group of journal

the media didn't do this, i didn't do this, black at which timer didn't do this. the state didn't do this. they're reaping what they saw right now. >> let's look at the pictures from ferguson, missouri right now. we are approaching the 11:00 hour in the east and this is the time that we normally do our broadcast and we will regroup. and come back to you and continue our coverage of what's going on in ferguson, missouri right after this. don't go away. dorian johnson >> these people have decided that today they will be arrested >> i know that i'm being surveilled >> people are not getting the care that they need >> this is a crime against humanity >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> what do we want? justice! >> when do we want it? >> now! >> they are running towards base... >>...explosions going off we're not quite sure... >> fault lines al jazeera america's emmy winning, investigative, documentary, series... real reporting that brings you the world. >> this is a pretty dangerous trip. >> security in beirut is tight. >> more reporters. >> th

the media -- he thinks the media are out to get him.the media actually ended up lifting him up a bit. it wasn't intentional, but they did some really negative work or really kind of hard hitting work on his opponent who it appeareded was not really ready for prime time. >> you're touching on the idea that people outside the district were surprised he was re-elected. after all, the only congressman right now under indictment. but people inside the district were not so surprised. that's a really important point i think. >> yeah, exactly. i think everyone outside new york city thought michael grimm is the easiest target. he's going to lose re-election. but if you know staten island, you know that the borough tends to vote republican in congress. you also know that the borough or that that district tends to vote for someone who is from staten island. >> one more question before i go and it gets back to the question you originally asked him about a year ago, the one that caused this threat. you were bringing up his scandals. it was an import

i can say safely that the media in our country, the good media in our country, i want to say 10 minutes after the verdict, people in the media will talk and will analyze, i know, i know no one can comment on the verdict, but they will analyze and explain, i would like to know that our people is quite aware and our people will ask the one who analyze all the guests or the one predicting or whatever, has he read the 162,000 paper? has he read the 1,430 reasoning pages? i think it's difficult to know. that's why hours later people will talk. that's why the court and personally i have made something that is not a violation to the law or a violation to the yeah dish aijudiciary norms and i cat some clarification with quotations from the verdict until anyone can get a copy of the verdict, that will be within hours, and the court of downtown in cairo, and i have made this and i have made it in 280 pages. this is the minimum that i have -- or i could have done in order to help my sons in the media present as guests, producers or whoever in the media because i urge them to read these 280 pages c

there's a recalibration that has been taking place of the power of the media itself, and the institutional media in particular. when you talk about threats against journalists, repressive government or nonstate actors -- the thing that kept journalist safe is that they were useful. i you wanted to communicate to your own population, and certainly internationally can the only mechanism was journalists. and the information environment has completely -- is completely different now and that is no long their case. used to be if you got kidnapped by nasty folks, your argument was, hey, if you don't let me go i'm not go to be able to tell your story. that's kind of laughable now. that's not going to get you out of any dicey situation. so, it's also -- i was just in turkey and we had a meeting meeh president aired juan. and they -- erdogan, and he came interest the meeting with the defiant posture, journalists, all journalists are basically attacking my government, undermining these interests, the interests of the state, and he included "the new york times" and cnn. there's nobody that he had any

>> which is why the media ate these folks alive. brutally smearing them to get the collective crap-fest into law. >> this widespread anger you're talking about is really something. the town meetings seem to have taken on a life of their own and causing problems for both sides. >> if you don't believe in the president's health care plan what you need to do is explain to the american people why we feel this way. but standing here and pointing fingers and standing here and shouting and pushing and shoving, i mean, you know what? i hate to go there but the reality is skip gate was arrested for what they were doing here. this is absolutely ridiculous. >> now, to the white house and the fever pitch of a health care debate some town halls are becoming town brawls. >> so what's that all about? let's call it what it is. bigotry. the media mocked the people because they were old. and old means conservative. and old means wise. and old means smart. if they were younger, the media would have listened like they did with occupy wall street, a fete

there's a recalibration that's been taking place, the power of the media itself, and the institutional media in particular. i think especially when you talk about the threats against journalists, a lot of these repressive governments or nonstate actors, the thing that kept journalists safe working in these environments is that they were neutral. if you wanted to communicate to your own population but certainly internationally, then the only mechanism you have to do that was with journalists. the information environment is completely different now and that is no longer the case. it used to be if you get kidnapped, if your journalist and you get kidnapped by some nasty folks, your argument was, hey, if you don't let me go i'm not going to be able to tell your story. that's kind of laughable now. that's not going to get you out of any dicey situation. and it's also, we just, we were in turkey and we had a meeting with president erdogan, and these meetings i've had many such meetings with heads of state, sort of ritualistic thing where they go press freedom, it's important to me. and yuko

that's how it happened in the normal media. didn't go that way in the conservative media. the conservative media, they lost their minds. jeremiah wright, bill ayers, acorn. michael jordan. is he a scandal? that was 2009. in 2010, conservative media posted online this video of an official from the u.s. department of agriculture giving a speech to the naacp. they said this was video evidence of racism from a federal appointee. they posted an edited excerpt of this speech by shirley sherrod. in the excerpt she appeared to describe how to discriminate against white people at the u.s. department of agriculture. how the government could favor black people and hurt white people on purpose. conservative media posted it. the normal media picked up and ran with the story for a little while because it was making noise an the right. despite the woman's protest that was not at all what she said in that speech. the agricult are department went ahead and fired her from her job on the basis of this tape posted by conservative media. turns out the excerpt they posted of shirley sherrod talk

one of the features of the australian media landscape as we have one of the most concentrated media markets in the world. i come from the city in australia adelaide that gave rupert murdoch to the world. he is from there and when i was growing up it was impossible to buy a newspaper that wasn't unbiased to murdoch. the morning paper, a the afternoon in the local papers were all for mr. murdoch. all of these years later in many parts of australia, they're readily available with all due apologies to our friend from the review they're readily available newspaper for people is only the murdoch papers. so the daily paper is only a murdoch paper. so that does mean that there are questions of quality and questions of bias that intercept with our politics and i deal with some of that in the book and not hankering for a media market that had more diversity and more quality in its presentation to the public. and certainly on carbon price which is just one big debate, some of the things that got published as facts were just so ridiculously rubbish that it distorted the public discussion in a way that

why would the lame street media tell the truth? the you cannily, ugly truth about loretta lynch being a lawyer for the clintons. the reason is because the loretta lynch that was just nominated to be attorney general, she was not a lawyer involved in the white water scandal. a whole different loretta lynch. it used to be the wrong bertha lewis. now it's the wrong loretta lynch. there was a whole new round of press over this today when the outlet that was pursuing this line of attack on this news when they tried to save face by adding a correction to their story. they left out the headline, obama's attorney general loretta lynch represented the clintons during white waterer. but then they left the story in tact about how they represented the clintons in whitewater. said they've got the headline, the picture of her, the whole story. and then you get to the italicized slight correction at the bottom. it was, in fact, a different attorney. still, though, great story. clearly, they thought that adding this correction, eventually, they to

the way. so about face works with girls and young women to help analyze media messages. so tell me how you got your start with this. >> the way i got my start is when i was in college at the university of michigan i essentially watched an amazing video by jean killborn called "killing us softly" that really changed the way that i thought about all of this. i had lots of friends who had eating disorders and body image problems in high school and all the pieces just came together for me really. so i started working with about face a couple of years later and i just never have stopped. >> that organization has the same mission that you had. it was on a nice little parallel track for you. >> yes, all-around media messages. so giving girls, especially girls the tools they need to really understand media mess annuals that affect their self-esteem and body image so that they can prevent that for themselves and lead healthier lives and be happier people. >> so what are some of the ways that you've seen in your experience that the media messages affect the way we look at ourselves

the media's present in the courtroom.tor will come in and we expect him to make the announcement one way or the other as you can see massive crowds now gathering outside of the ferguson, missouri courthouse. and we are just getting news in that there are already protests emerging in various cities around the country. the one highlighted here is chicago. we will get video of that for you. we have been told by police departments and other cities that they have been placed on alert as well prior to this verdict preparing for protests perhaps. no one knowing for sure what the result is, but preparing for the worst, hoping for the best as they say. arthur, so has to be nine of the 12 agree. >> correct. >> will we find out what the breakdown was? >> i don't think you will. and i don't think you should. as you said accurately earlier, it is a misdemeanor for the grand jurors to speak. if you want to be realistic, a misdemeanor, punishment is up to a year in prison. if some agency -- news agency's offering someone $500,000 to tel

the major media uses fnc as a reason to dismisa story. he irony is that if we don't cover it, it never gets covered. the msm is saying we don't want to cover these stories at all. in the a block we're doing immigration, c we're doing climate change, all of these three issues are predicated on one argument, it is for the greater good. no matter what you do, lie, cheat, whatever, it's for the greater good. this is fine if you're a political leader. if you're a leader, you're expected to believe it's for the greater good. but when the media believes it's for the greater good, that is criminal because it's your job to question whether it's for the greater good. your job is abdictated when you agree with them, you become scum. >> when you're sitting around in the newsroom. the hash tag gruber thing, it's everywhere, it's been trending for 11 days straight, but they choose to ignore it. i got to think it wasn't an accident. >> but it is group think. and it reminds me of how after the midterm elections when republicans, the debate was was it a wa

but so has all the media. that's no big surprise. >> let me read to you what the channel said this week -- >> oh, i have read the weather channel statement. >> let me read it to the viewers then. they put out this statement distancing themselves from you. they said mr. coleman does have a place in our company's history and we appreciate the contributions that he made more than 30 years ago. however, we want to be clear john coleman is no longer affiliated with our company. how did you feel to see them disavow you in that way? >> well, no problem. i mean, you know, that's all accurate. and the statement that's on their website which they reissued this week was written back in 2007. and that's a rather reasonable statement. it's not full of alarmism. it's not full of the sky is falling. it's a pretty reasonable statement. it's not -- the programming they put on the tv is not reasonable and when they put on their climate geeks, those aren't scientists. those are nuts. >> you sound like a man disappointed. >> they'

even though the numbers look pretty good, one would tell you that the media framing is that we had a stagnant economy that was not recovering fast enough. >> if i ran all the stats by people who voted against democrats or felt that they were voting against the president on tuesday, that wouldn't necessarily change their vote. i couldn't prove to them that they're right or wrong, but it's a compelling idea that more jobs have been created since barack obama began his job since eight years of the bush administration, yet i doubt the first 100 people i met on k street would have any idea that that's the case. >> yes, i think that's true. i think it cuts both ways on both parties. in the 1992 election, the numbers did not look so bad, yet the media framed the economy as being terrible. and people are not going to dig in to economic data that carefully. they're going to basically follow how the media frames the economy, and i think over the last few years the economy is not been framed as growing gang best urgency but it's focused on the real problems that workers still face including not
