now, "the new york times" is doing its best to smear the unit by running articles saying they're sloppy and raggedy and so on. and the "new york times" editorial page has finally found an american soldier they like in bergdahl. but listen, the average soldier, the ones talking, the ones being interviewed, are unanimous on this. >> i'll come back to the smear question in just a moment. but bill press, after the e-mail from bergdahl o'his parents widely reported, ashamed to be an american, james rosen of fox news got hold of a contractor's intelligence reports about his captivity. we learned a whole lot of things such as he had tried to escape a couple times, held in a cage, but also according to this report that he had played soccer with his captors and declared himself a warrior for islam. should that have gotten more coverage? do you have any question about that story? >> first off, i think jim rosen's a damn good reporter and he's not a criminal co-conspirator as he was first called. i'll put that out there. i read that story as well. it's a questionable source, you've got to say. the

the other lieutenant. did he he do anything untoward? were n chaos to justify this "new york timesticle. >> we weren't in chaos o. it was incompetency on the behalf of the lieutenant. >> the full-time thing and this happened last week and the "new york times" accused you and some of your other guys who spoke out and told the story of bergdahl are being run by republicans. i understand an operation capital media partners did help you get on television. is that true? >> yes, that's true. after i started tweeting this out about a week ago. i started receiving requests. we can help you get your story out from different people. i went with them. i'm actually being represented by somebody that's not a republican through that firm. you know, dealing with literally a thousand emails, phone calls, text messaging, it's hard for people to have a full full time job. >> one of the partners is a democrat. do they ever tell you do republican talking points attack president obama to do anything like that? no, sir not at all. >> you went with them to get your story out. obviously there might be som

the network news casts. unbelievable. that is a news blackout. >> this is unbelievable. we could talk about the "new york times," as well. is it possible that the washington post and the "new york times" are not putting on the front page of their newspapers the fact that an internal investigation hash launched by the irs on the most shady behavior. >> joining us now to exam the coverage, lauren ashburn, who hosts social buzz on the fox website, amy holmes who anchors the hot list at the plate and julie mason host of the x-pool at sirius xm radio. should the washington post and the "new york times" have put the missing e-mails on the front page? >> the "new york times" put it on a-19. this is a scandal. and you know the fact that it's not being covered suggest the liberals think it's a conservative witch-hunt, which it isn't. >> it's not that it's not being covered, it's a question of the volume and display and the prominen prominence. but in this age, why does it matter so much what is or isn't? >> every day between 10:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon, people go into news rooms all across the country and have meet

new jersey roadway. totally outside the purview of the bistate port authority of new york and new jersey. but according to "the new york timesyers for the christie administration relentlessly lobbied to pay for $1.8 billion with port authority funds anyway. their justification, classifying it as an access road to the lincoln tunnel. the tunnel being something that does actually operate under the port authority. there's only one problem and new jersey star leathaej ledger wen fuel local cab drivers for the explanation of said problem. >> skyway led to holland tunnel. >> ever taken the skyway to the lincoln tunnel? >> no. >> as star ledger declares, it was 'rewrite of the north jersey road map turning it into a work of fiction, $1.8 billion work of fiction that may be illegal. christie's press office delivered to comment and pointed us to statements by the new jersey attorney general's office which said it was responsible for negotiating the deal and they pointed us to the port authority which said the deal was analyzed and negotiated by lawyers on all sides. governor christie can rest assured even more lawyers are likely to b

would be regarded as heresy in the united states it will never appear on the op ed pages of the new york times or the washington post or the wall street journal or on the cable news talk shows it would be regarded as heresy elect tells us two sons. an orthodoxy about russia has formed in this country over twenty years and it's not only wrong it's reckless and it's led it's to this crisis in ukraine which is every bit as bad as i've described the second thing it means that each time for people in this country and i appeal to the include your show those we're listening no matter what the position is in universities and governments and think tanks in the media who worry about this to break the silence and speak out and i would go one step forward the only way you can break orthodoxy is with heresy some of the things that i say to you tonight are regarded as a radical treasonous unpatriotic but a heresy is a good thing when it's needed there's no virtue in moderation itself if the issue is dire and desperate so if in germany a new relatively new democracy with a past every bit as bad as russians c

the analysis of shields and brooks. that's syndicated columnist mark shields and new york times columnist david brooks. he story i guess that dominated the news this weeks bowe bergdahl, the american prisoner of war released from the taliban. five days after the president announced this, lots of criticism from both sides, especially republicans yesterday, the president still found himself answering questions and defending his decision. here's just part of what the president said. >> i'm never surprised by controversies whipped up in washington, right? that's par for the course. but i'll repeat what i said two days ago. we have a basic principle -- we do not leave anybody wearing the american uniform behind. we had a prisoner of war who's health had deteriorated, and we were deeply concerned about and we saw an opportunity and we seized it and i make no apologies for that. i write too many letters to folks who unfortunately don't see their children again after fighting a war. i make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get back a young man to his parents and that the american people understand

. >> how about "the new york times"? "the new york times" claimed it was these guys fault. it's the truth's fault. is that an okay source? >> i want to bring that in and bob can -- hold on one second. >> you came after me, bob. >> hold on. eric, give me a second here. hold up "the new york times" editorial because we're going to see if this is going to help bob. i think it's not. it's not going so far so well for him in six minutes in. the rush to be demonize sergeant bergdahl. if anything the report suggests that the army unit's lack of security and discipline was as much to blame for the experience. this is what we're referring to. >> okay. you can take that as meaning that it's their responsibility. but let me put it this way. this guy got away from twice, he wandered away from his base. he had a history of doing this. i'm sure that was in the official files of the military or secret files of the military. when you listen to these guys talk last night, and i have no reason to doubt their sincerity, they gave a definitive statement, he was a deserter. the platoon leader s

the second time in the "new york times." owned by the state of new jersey and it should not be paid for by the port authority. the port authority eventually okayed the repairs, saying the skyway was an access road to the lincoln tunnel. the repairs were labeled lincoln tunnel access infrastructure improvements, even though the bridge not directly linked to the tunnel. if investigators find any wrongdoing, individuals could face felony charges for deceiving bond holders. civil action could be taken if any federal securities laws have been broken. >> so this is the top of the "new york times." >> front page. >> i'm trying to figure out if -- where that irs story. they put -- hold on a second. because now there was actually on the front page -- >> joe? >> an investigation was launched yesterday against the irs. >> it's funny that -- >> looking, ten, 11. >> the internal revenue service targeting individuals. >> 12, 13. >> private citizens and political groups that are against the administration will be on the front page. hold on

the day. you can expect there is plenty of activity. someone in "new york post"ed this, and this is something that al jazeera did. a full-page add in the "new york times", and it appeared in other international papers that said "this is what happiness when you silence journalists", a black page in the "new york times" and observer in the "new york times", put together by our pr team. this is a picture outside the trial, outside the court. the tanks - what you can see in the background outside the toura prison, as we wait for the verdict. another thing i wanted to show you is this - this is where it started. free aj staff which you heard about for the last 187 days, thanks to three journalists that worked in nairobi, they took the photographs of people with, in that case, the egyptian flag saying if you silence one, it's words silencing it all. free aj staff which you our viewers worked hard to keem going. spare a thought for peter greste's parent as well. journalism is not terrorism. they will find out shortly, as we all will, whether peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and baher mohamed will be on their way out of gaol in a few days. we can only hope s

but there's sort of a bufoonary to him. >> in our press picks, this yeed ya fail, the "new york times" puts phil mickelson in the rough by reporting that he was under scrutiny in an insider trading investigation that involved carl eye kh ikahn. but the "new york times" reported this past week that the golfer did not trade stock in clorox, that the original sources had been wrong. that is a hooirchblg huuge miste bogey, if you will, that really damaged mickelson's reputation. >>> i spoke with katie couric the other day about her new job at yahoo! and the exclusive interview she landed with john kerry. >> so you don't think this -- >> absolutely, unquestionably not. >> katie loved the luxury of a half hour online session saying she would have gotten five minutes if she was still at the "today" show and 3:30 if she was at cbs news. she said she's proud of her day time talk show because she refused to dumb it down, but she couldn't come on to talk about it because she's getting married this weekend. fair enough. read my interview tomorrow on foxnews.com. >>> ahead on media buzz, the "toda

i mean, think about what the "new york times" is saying. se soldiers are allowing themselves to be used by a political party, the implication clearly that their testimony is contrived would, that's quite something for a newspaper to say about men who served their country in very dangerous circumstances. the "times" ends its editorial this way. quoted: but the critics seeking political advantage don't care about the life or mental state of a particular soldier or of a principle of loyalty that should provide comfort to any soldier in danger of capture. they live only for the attack. some subject up according to the "new york times," the prisoner swap denigrating president obama nothing more than that sergeant bergdahl's dessession is not his fault. mr. obama did not have to do anything other than secure his release. that was it it by the way, fox news strategic analyst colonel ralph colonel ralph pets believes the "new york times" is not in accident. it's acting in concert with the obama administration in setting bergdahl up to be declared me

the "new york times" said murky connection at best. so i think that was over or overreporting, yes, unfair. >> i want to turn now to bob bergdahl, the soldier's father. i got into it with bill o'reilly on whether or not he was fair game. >> i'm not a fan of how bob bergdahl has conducted himself. but cut the guy some slack. the man shows up at the white house looking like a muslim. he speaks pashto. he thinks allah. it's inappropriate. your thoughts. >> no bill, i'm sorry. it's inappropriate that you, as well as joe scarborough from msnbc are attacking a man whose son has been held in captivity for five years. you don't know what that father has been going through unless you've been in that situation. what -- how can you even say or even question the motives of this father? you just don't know. and here is a man who has lost his son, possibly forever. >> he doesn't know where whether he is coming back. >> i'm not in favor of everything bob bergdahl has done and said. it seems to me he doesn't have to be in the national spotlight. he is

have to attack them as men and as soldiers. >> yeah, first of all, you know, what happened to the new york timesetely imploded here. over the last several years we seen "the new york times" swallow what the obama administration says and all of these stories, the last three on bergdahl are anonymous sources. they are believing anonymous sources or reports written later rather than the guys there fighting with him that were right there. >> you've been in contact with him, we'll get to that in a minute, but you've been in contact with so many men. has even one spoken out in bergdahl's defense saying he was not a deserter? >> no, not one. they six guys are saying the same thing. they are not coached. they are telling the truth. the truth doesn't need a pr firm. the truth doesn't need coaching. these guys, literally, megyn, are not political. they absolutely want to tell the truth and they were afraid to. >> it's their very effectiveness that led to the attacks against them. last week an administration figure said they might be psychopaths. the white house aids came out and said they are guilty of sw

now that they've seen details come out from a senior defense department official quoted by the "new york times" talking about bergdahl's physical and psychological conditions. certainly, yes, as part of that story that he appears to be telling, the "new york times" says that bergdahl has told his psychologist he was kept for weeks at a time in total darkness in a metal cage, and that in punishment for trying to escape captivity. what we're also learning from that report in the "new york times" is that right now, simply on the physical level, he really doesn't seem to have any defining illness. yes, he's got some gum problems, yes, he's got some skin problems but all that due to the period that he spent in captivity, living in pretty rough conditions but certainly nothing life-threatening there what from the "new york times" is quoting its sources as saying. also, sources telling "new york times" bergdahl has begun to move around a little bit, that he's had a walk in the grounds of land skull hospital, that he walks up and down the corridors at all times accompanied by his medical staff. on the

ned kenworthy of the new york times. and john hayward, he created and ran, as it were, the culture club. >> everybody is dead now except andy and me. >> and we are headed there. >> we traveled in a pack. journalism does not prohibit you, to a certain extent, sharing stuff. so we tried to keep independent at a presser, but conference, the sender would say, oh god, here they come, the culture club. it is interesting that not every news outlet, not every newspaper , had a full-time reporter assigned to cover the filibuster in the civil rights bill. not have anybody from "the washington post" with us regularly. robert albright was assigned to the story, but we never saw him. the chicagopapers, tribune, the st. louis post-dispatch, it was not that there were no-shows, it was that they did not think the story deserved its own coverage, which the culture club was doing. but it was my first introduction to covering something that important day in and day out. and i learned as much about the senate and the vanity of the senate and

new light on the u.s. government surveillance capabilities. according to top secret documents obtained from snowden and published by the new york times, the nsa is collecting millions of images a day from tech and social media for use in the facial recognition programs. it is becoming extremely important to intelligence agencies to try to track suspected terrorists and other targets. in an interview with brazil's globo news, snowden revealed he has applied tore asylum in several countries including brazil. the asylum in russia was granted on in a temporary basis expiring at the end of july. a boatload!

and then this morning, when they saw the details coming out in the "new york times" their first reactionmaybe the senior pentagon official that talked to "the new york times" may be he's violated patient privacy laws giving out these details. as far as the med nikz landstuhl are concerned bergdahl remains stable, condition is improving and he's taking a greater interest in the health care program that's being set out for him. but what we know from "the new york times," is that really bergdahl is showing no signs of serious physical problems. he has a gum problem and a skin problem, poor neutral, and the extreme weather conditions exposed to. "the new york times" says he weighs 160 pounds, for a guy 5'9" is a pretty good weight, no sign he's emaciated there. >> how likely is it in terms of how is the process likely going to look in terms of recovery, physically, emotionally, mental recovery? i want to bring in terry lyles, combat stress coach and apsychologist. >> you're welcome. >> when you look at this, you were saying something earlier this week that stood out, though he will come home

the national association of manufacturers plan to run newspaper advertisements tomorrow in the new york times wall street journal and washington post warning that more sanctions risk harming u.s. workers and businesses companies from the united states represent the largest source of foreign investment in russia and these companies fear sanctions will hurt their bottom line however as the eight to nine billion dollar fund against french bank b.n.p. perry for violating sanctions against iran and sudan shows us foreign policy objectives will claim business interest victims in the west now that we're taking we're talking about the business interests of the u.s. firms and not just some foreign bank we will have to see if foreign policy aims to america to the will of american the best.

which is critical of the government, releasing other information that wasn't public before to the "new york times" and it's then published. let's go to sergeant bergdahl. i understand you've learned some new information about an investigation that will be moving forward about the disappearance specifically in 2009. >> yes, right, victor. what we now know is that the army has, indeed, taken the next step. they've appointed a two-star army general to begin that investigatory process to find out how and why bowe bergdahl disappeared from his post that night and was subsequently captured by the taliban, by all accounts having left his post willingly. that two-star general will begin working on that fact-finding investigation. it raises the question, bergdahl about to face those questions in a legal framework? what we are told is that will happen. whether it happens this week or in the coming days, nobody's setting the date for it yet. but now we have that legal process put into place, and when he does undergo that questioning, we are old he will be advised of his right and will be offered counsel. >>

because they feel like the new york time system propaganda. and we have members of congress pushing for greater control over the internet as well. and i am not sure but the chinese might have it right on the new york times. they -- scrubbed their history box of>Å moments like the brutal killings of the protestors in 1989. sure good thing we ignore parts of it that are not politically correct. but have you seen an american history book lately. chinese spoi on their citizens and using government to monitor the people and minimize the religious expression. thank god the united states would never do that. oh, yeah, but then our government collects our phone calls and web searches and tracks us. and systematically scrubbing god from the public square. china's government regulates housing and health care and education and personal artistic freedom. and even though one can see personal freedoms in public parks where they sing, dance. if they use personal amplication devices in new york central park the strong arm of new york city will stop that. china

part by getting joke to explain why someone with a great job as senator steve reporter for the new york times takes a bunch of time off to write a book. >> so i actually was in between two big investigations, and picked up the paper one day. our san francisco bureau, new york times and francisco bureau had a story. of course some of the lawyers that fought each other over the presidency in bush the door in 2000. joining the of the file this case. it was the first federal constitutional challenge to same-sex marriage ban. is this better? sorry about that. it was the first challenge to a federal challenge to same-sex marriage ban. that thought to myself, however ted olson, this conservative that liberals love to hate because see, of course, had one, how he can to take this cause has to be a good story. i went and said, look, i know this is not my normal fare, but i am interested, would like to do it, in between projects, and i'm the only person that he would probably talk to. i had done to know him. additional a background for the washington post. i got to know him more. he figured in his inter

. >>> "the new york times" is also reporting today bergdahl says the taliban punished him when he tried to escape by locking him in a shark cage for weeks in the darkness. >> the "times" says bergdahl is healthier than expected, walking and talking with doctors and has begun wearing his military uniform but does not want to be called sergeant. >> let's go to carl in germany. >> reporter: it is fascinating, how this story has taken on so many different levels, the human level, the military level, the political level and how all that is intertwining. here at lands actual the medics aren't giving too much specifics away about bergdahl's condition beyond saying he is stable, continuing to make improvements and showing improvements in the medical program. medics are saying he's not yet ready to be flown back to the united states for continued treatment in the san antonio medical facility. but what we have learned this morning, as you suggested, are those details that have been leaked by a senior defense department official to "the new york times" and they're quite fascinating. it doesn't see
