journalists get it so wrong? >> we have an all-star line up brit hume and laura ingraham. hillary clinton blitzes the airways and she is pressed on benghazi, her health and her wealth. >> is there anything you personally should have been doing to make it safer in bennett gaza? >> i wonder if people are looking for a sentence that begins from you. "i should have...." >> i certainly would give anything on earth if this had not happened. >> you have said repeatedly that you take responsibility. >> does that include testifying before congress? >> somewhere surprised you didn't really, after all that you read and wrote in the back, you did not talk about your concussion in 2012. >> were the interviewers tough enough on the democratic frontrunner? >> iraq, back on our television screens after years of fatigue. are journalists asking the right questions? and the o.j. chase, 20 years ago this week. did that pump the -- push the era into sensationalism? this is "media buzz." on tuesday morning, the "washington post" said immediate ly, that david brat would lose. they called it a shocking and stunning upset. we looked for those talking about primary in advance but we didn't find much, just a couple of brief mentions on msnbc. >> brat tells the national review "you are going to run a primary campaign against cantor because he voted for the budget deal with murray and ryan and repealing the affordable care act he hasn't moved the ball down the field at all." >> on primary day, it was clear virtually no one saw the cantor collapse coming. >> other races to watch in virginia, house majority leader cantor facing a long shot tea party challenger, an economics professor, dave brat. >> what do we know of dave brat? >> great question. we don't know much. >> no one bothered to cough the guy. how did political journalists blow this so badly. we have a former usa executive and editor at large at hot hair and columnist for "usa today", dear -- did it an embarrassment for the press? >> yes, no one bothered to do shoe leather reporting and talk to the voters and see what they had to say. msnbc had a few mentions. cnn nothing, fox, nothing, "new york times", nothing. my favorite is "politico" writing that brat has its -- little chance of upsetting. "cantor who will almost certainly become the next speaker of the house." >> you know, it is not that we should be able to predict every race with certainty but most of the reporters had gone home and it wasn't on the radar. >> i. take blame, and there is a tendency for the tea party to see it black and white, the early primary season convinced everyone it was dead, the tea party is dead or resurgent and ruining the public, with no middle down. now, maybe we can google the candidates and find the middle ground. >> is this partly because the reporters take the cue from the political establishment who didn't see it coming and there were no media polls and we love the polls to tell us who is in trouble? >> usually, a poll will show you or if a poll did it you would hear something, something would be bubbling up and someone else in the district would be saying something is off, so they would tell the reporters that and maybe they were and they were dismissing it. mary katherine hit on it, in was a media narrative which i never bought. i pushed back against it i was treated like i was crazy, that the tea party is dead. it never made sense because the two people who get the movie attention right now in the republican party are t.d. cruz and -- ted and rand paul. >> we are not treating you like you are crazy this morning. >> it is a story line that the republicans liked and what they pushed. they wanted the tea party to be dead and they wanted the establishment to be alive. >> mention talking to voters and a "new york times" knocked on the doors and there was antipathy toward the candidate but this was after. the idea of going out door knocking in a race, is that just out of vogue? >> you cannot only blame reporters there is a corporate --. >> try me. >> blame whoever you want. there is a corporate responsibility here. a lost travel budgets have been cut. the newspaper industry, the magazine industry, isn't as vibrant as it used to be and everyone is dealing with declines. when you cut those budgets you will see something like you say with trayvon martin in florida, the young man who was killed and we didn't even know about that for about a week because the local paper closed the bureau. >> and orlando had only a few paragraphs. >> we have laura ingraham behind you and she and a couple of others trumpeted dave brat on the radio and this is hailed as a talk radio victory. >> let me assist you blaming reporters that virginia 7 is sector 75 miles from here so they did not need a ton of budget to get down there. when it comes to the national media reporting it is a very diffuse movement and sometimes there are great candidates and sometimes wild card candidates that don't work. this is key. it is tough to know who will come out swinging and win. there is not a lot of action put into trying to figure that out with the tea party, a lot of dismissing. >> morning after the primary, dave brat talked by phone with msnbc and said he would not agree there should be a minimum wage and could not answer about arming the rebels to certificatia but since then, no more interviews. if the media covered the race, would the media scrutiny make it more difficult because he did not have to answer the questions. >> thank you is true by i can cut him slack. sometimes we expect people to know more than they might know until they are actually in office. >> college professor who was running a shoestring camera with a 23-year-old campaign manager. >> everyone said she was good looking. >> is that what they are saying? >> that you for elevating the level of this story. >> he is good looking. it was reported he is good looking. >> plenty have come in with great years. he can still have a great career ever continue know doesn't know if he wants to arm the syrian rebels. >> there is danger there is an overreaction and now the pundits are overinterpretsing in what could be that cantor grew out of town. eight was wonderful to watch in addition to the "shocking" and "stunning" and the "shocking" and "the stunning" we had the teacher is going to dominate the lesses. or saying that compromise is dead in washington. it has been dead for a long-term. but everyone was trying to make this bigger than it was. >> and message on immigration is dead. is little bit of hyper ventilation? >> that is probably going to be the case. there is a last googling going on on a lot of primary candidates but the media in washington, they want a quick if simple answer and the tea party does not give that to them. they might continue misread this. >> take another minute to explain why that is a problem? most journalists can't figure out the tea party movement which is not, after all, not an organized political party with nominations. it is a movement. >> a little bit of hyper ventilation could help. there will be in shoe legislate spent on these guys and there will be time spent asking questions and figuring out certain races that maybe were not going to be at issue before but, yes, there was legal perfect storm and we need to watch out for that. i don't think the major is capable of understanding the tea party. i forget which "new york times" reporter wrote a book about the tea party which is good and "new york times" is not a friend of the tea party and everything she wrote about the tea party does not comport with the story line we constantly get. >> like what? >> the elites can not relate and they want temperature to be bigot whose hate president obama and are drive were by their racist hatred. >> journalists want this? why? >> well, i can't say what motivates them in terms of their wants but say that is the help result. >> and chris matthews of all people urged his colleagues this week on msnbc to say, look, stop condescend this is a real movement. fur going to understand them you have to understand them and stop flagging them. >> that is a good thing that came out of this, because the reporters were not there and were not covering it on the ground you will see a lot more reporters heading to the directs where races have this going on. >> if do you not find sweeping implications it is 36,000 voters voting for a district in virginia that is hard to sustain. >> send us a tweet on what you think of our coverage. >> ahead, laura ingraham on using her radio show to knock off eric cantor, but, first, hillary clinton launches the campaign -- excuse me, her book tour. marge: you know, there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips. mayo?

>> i will not comment on what i did or did not say. >> it is reported you made $5 million making speeches and the president made $100 million? >> well, if you have no reason to remember but we came out of the white house not only dead broke but in debt, we had in money when we got there and we drug eled to put together the resources for mortgages for houses, for chelsea's education. >> do you think americans are going to understand five times the median income in the country for one speech? >> some on the right predicted the liberal media would rollover and they asked about benghazi and finances and how would you evaluate the media? >> i applaud it. i would like to see more. here is the thing. the questions were, you could anticipate they will. they were things she should have had good answers f she had better answers -- and there is plenty of blueprint eight bout answering questions about your wealth or benghazi i if she had a solid answer she would not be pushed. >> were the media right to pounce on her over the dead broke answer? was it a serious misstep? >> i thought it was serious misstep. it shows her to be out of touch. and that was the big thing everyone said about romney. it is a problem. >> a woman pedals an $8 million book and made $1 million a speech and she is say she had a bleak future. >> dead broke implies you are sleeping on a friend's sofa not that you are getting a loan from a friend to buy $1.2 million home and the reason you are getting the loan is because you are getting to the place you will be raking in multimillions. it showed her to be out of touch >> diane sawyer, how does she go? >> as mary katherine said, very good. she pressed her. she did not let her go and came back. >> she neverred seemed like a prosecutor or badgering of the witness. >> what she does, she lulled her into this sense of complacency which is when the dead broke comment came out. it seemed like you are talking to a woman of your own age which is exactly the best zinger, where hillary clinton said, well, isn't it great to on our age. >> what got the most attention late in the week was hillary clinton's interview with national public radio's terry gross and she was pressed on change his position from the 1990's about same-sex marriage, she was opposed and now in favor. take a listen. >> thank you is one where you changed your mind. >> i have to say, i think you are very persistent but you are playing with my words and playing with what is such --. >> just trying to clarify. >> i don't think you are trying to clarify. you are trying to say that i used to be opposed and now i am in favor and i did it for political reasons. >> was that as testy as it sounded? >> defensive. part of the issue is the stylistic difference between her and the reporters. both terry and diane are composed. let me ask about this, very calm. and this is something we talked about in the past, her contentious relationship with the media. she clearly is not giving calm and friendly answers. she could have prepared for it. >> it was out of line. >> absolutely. >> i have never seen someone of her stature treated that way. >> the way show was not dropped -- she asked the question over and over and over. i have always supported gay marriage, i cannot remember when i didn't. i cut her slack consider she and the rest of the country didn't. why is she being raked over the coals like this. >> name another who has been raked over the coombs on that. >> you go back to 2008 and president obama was given a free pass, terry gross should be commended, and she is from npr. >> you are not getting my point, if you are doing it, do i wish they did it to everyone in yes. absolutely. but they don't. why was she doing it to hillary clinton? >> the clinton camp has a point, yes, they did not do it to rebound and i don't blame them, and you have to anticipate the media environment as if you are a republican candidate. be ready. >> why did hillary clinton used to not support game when no one supported gay marriage the grow up. >> she has to learn not to be so defensive. if she could have given them a softer answer, terry gross would have moved on. >> i changed my mind. >> eight was npr which is fault hostile territory. >> thanks. did laura ingraham step outside her role in endorsing eric cantor's opponent and how brit hume would handle hillary clinton next week on fox. upgrade to the philips norelco shaver series 8000 for the most advanced shaving experience. with gyroflex 3d technology, you can get to those hard to reach places for the ultimate shave wet or dry. guaranteed. visit philips.com/fathersday now to save $50. and we're here in detroit ent michigan helping folks refinance their homes and save money. does it make sense to refinance right now?
