I dont know anything about that specific instance. I cant speak to that. What are you do in order to get the truth about terrorism . The United States . A look at how the media are frame this and whether they fighting the last war. Has the Rolling Stone story collapsing, the reporter saying she made up the nature rapist and her publisher offering a man a legal sentiment. If that is not enough more women surfacing who accuse bill cosby of long ago Sexual Assault with a super model saying he drugged her, too. I started to swear at him and then i continued to call a series ofqzo names and he was getting angry. But jon stewart apologizes if a big mistake about a Deadly Police confrontation. I was sloppy. I did this to me. It can become an opportunity to necessity gate the to negate the conversation. Stephen colbert goes easy on president obama. What su happened to being truth . This is media buzz and i am howard kurtz. When it comes to the debate over torture it depens where the shine the spotlight. The dominant news in the Senate Report on c. I. A. Interrogation was in the details. This was a program. Despicable program. A program you read about you are sickened to hear about this and the sexual humiliation of the people. Stripped naked and diapered one changed to a wall street for 17 days in standing position and another threatened by a drill one left to die in a cell from hypo thermia. As former c. I. A. Director made the round he got questions. What if you or members of your family had to undergo some of these treatments we are reading ay v] in this report. Look, we are people month like you and all your viewers. We have a soul and conscience. We knew as bad as they were we were going this to fellow human beings. Others shining a spotlight on the Senate Democrats and making these public. If americans are killed as a result of this report and they tell you that, i assume you would guilty about that. I would feel badly. Of course. What do you think, wolf . Even if it is going to endangers the lives of the Intelligence Community and the operatives who are still working on our behalf. Report is not going to endanger lives. It is. Now, examining the coverage of this torture debate are our guests including lauren and juan williams. So, you saw the interviews, what do you make of the confrontational space offs with dick cheney and senator feinstein . The journalists held their feet to the fire. Wolf said that she was a friend, but he continued in that interview to push her. What is missing is the overall context. That is not easy on television. In 2003 and 2002 machines were petrified whether they had a Nuclear Weapon and the next strike. That accident come through. It does not come through that we were very upset and terrified. On edge. Steve, you think this is inaccurate and partisan but my question is, have the media covered it fairly . No, i think, no. The mediayx buys the narrative that is pit put north in the Senate Report there was no Detailed Analysis of the report that you have had the media do on other things. You had some in the conservative media do this kind of break doing but not many, or even have the media asking the most basic questions or making the most bake points. It was possible to read a front page story in the New York Times that never mentioned it was produced only by Senate Democrats. Can you imagine a situation where only republican staff produce a report and nowhere is it mentioned by anyone in the media . Thank you is fair. It was interesting to watch the nbc correspondent say the torture program was despicable but at the same time saying the c. I. A. Was following the orders of the white house. What about steves point the report was not presented as partisan document . It is a part dawn argument and undercuts the power of what was presented. When you say it is a partisan argument it contradicts the idea being 113 vote in the panel for the release of the report. Most republicans on the competent said, get it out and they issued a minority report that they think there are serious flaws in the report. To come to the media angle, what strikes me everyone continues to use the terms enhanceed interrogation technique. I am struck by the fact that New York Times and networks use torture, and during the Bush Administration they shied,r away from that under pressure from the administration. Even now when i read those steps, i see more e. I. T. Than torture. I disagree. N. P. R. Is not using torture and there are our oate let outlets that are not. That is what i said they are not using torture. We can disagree whether these were permissible and the current head said they were abhorrent but. I am having a sense of deja vu. Is this a big media war over practices that president obama banned six years ago . Of course. Torture goes to who we are as a people. Of course we should have this discussion. It is not something that is 60 x years old and we will forget. President obama will leave in two years and a new president will come in who will change the policy. It is something we need to discuss as a republic. Ever those who think it was onesided report and who think the techniques are defensible and lauren said it was after 9 11 but, did we get useful information . That is a debate that cannot be fully resolved. Are they sidestepping the moral question of the values of americans doing things that we. To a certain extent. We are really not having it. The conclusion has been, at least among most journalists, this was immoral or amour am and should not have been done. The relevant debate is to make the stinks between what was done as part of the program and what was abusive. I defend the limited use of the authorized techniques. The rectal rehydration was forture. People of good will can have a serious debate about the moral character of the country and the morality of the techniques that were authorized but we have not had that debate because everyone rushed to condemn everything without making the important distinctions. What strikes me of the media coverage, it is almost after the fact. All of us knew this happened. President obama not own said no mortarture on the second day in office but he and the attorney general hold are made the decision there are no prosecutions and no truth commission. In a science, the democrats and to me that is part of the media story, made the decision, look, we were scared and we did some things that were unattractive but they wanted to move on. This report has brought it back to life. That is why it is interesting that the media has played this as steve would have it, as a partisan. It is serious. Where have the media been on one particular issue, the democrats were fully briefed with reports going back and inares have made the debate and others have reported it but where is the scrutiny on democrats would were briefed of this who approved this who in some cases were supportive of this . You are right. You are right. But does that men it was good to torture people . We have to hold even even if there are standards to be held. The argument is, should that be part of the story . Should it be part of broader story . If you have a public elected officials enthusiastically supporting the techniques. That should be part of the scrutiny by journalists and the techniques themselves. Was the white house fully briefed . Some of this we helped, but, there is another part of this Senate Report that dealt with the c. I. A. s use or attempt to use the media. There is a memo from the Deputy Director at the time who said we either get out and sell the program or we get hammered which has inly indications beyond the media, congress reads it, messes up our budgets and we need to make sure the impression of what we do is positive and be more aggressive. We put out our story or get eaten. This is no middle ground. Apply gosh, this is spin going on in washington i cant believe my ears of course they will do this. Why did bill oreilly start by saying, you are entering the no spin zone. Everyone and their where spins. The shadowy c. I. A. Which we do not associate with working the press. Come on you believe they dont work the press . Of course. But it is not the image. They have a last images and those other images trump that. Look, isis is waging this amazing social media and0pjt puc messaging campaign that outshines anything any other Terrorism Organization has ever done. They are recruiting kids from the midwest, from denver, from the west coast, girls, teens, they have a campaign targeted against our teenagers so if they have a propaganda, we should, too. Quick exchange, the report says that the c. I. A. Leaked classified information to the New York Times and to the author and the administrations get upset by classified leaks except when they try to make the agency or program look good. C. I. A. Does this as a matter of course. The c. I. A. Spends stories not always in an honest way. Remember, senator feinsteins report, reportedly after it was released there were 3,000 word stories by a few select news outlets that had this in advance so she is criticizing the c. I. A. For doing exactly what she just did to advance herescgt agenda. I am shocked, shocked, shocked the c. I. A. Is spinning but the fact is they not only destroyed tapes because they didnt want them leaked and layed here in the media but they tried to get inside the Senate Intelligence committee computers and block them access. We will go on to twitter so you can be part of the conversation. We read the best ones later on we will talk to the journalist who cracked on the badly botched Rolling Stone report on alleged rapes.

The massive hacking at Sony Pictures is Serious Business with personal information revealed about 47,000 staffers and ex staffers. Lots of information the computer attack is in retaliation for sonys new film the interview. But the media now consumed. I am not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat. Rudin, 12 years as a slave. Did you think this kind of private joking around about the president s favorite flims was racist . I thought it had strong racial overtones. For me, having worked at a liberal radio show and being fired for comments, i thought it was hypocrisy when it comes to racism. In this instance, what you see here is that these liberal hollywood elites who give money to democrats are condescending to the president of the United States, a harvard educated lawyer, and say oh, no, his interest in movies is going to be confined solely to him solely on the basis of race and hes going to have this interest in kind of working class slap stick comedy. One, that were joking around. That doesnt excuse it. Amy and scott have apologized. Let me bring in steve. Its a fair point, but weve all feasting on these gossiping emails. Its all stolen property and, i dont know, that makes me uneasy. Let me Say Something i dont think ive ever said in my entire career. I agree entirely with everything juan just said and it was brilliant. Start over, juan. Thats my problem with this story is these are emails that we shouldnt be seeing. I think the content of them is indefensib indefensible. It makes me uneasy to talk about it as a topic. I thought morning joe talked about it earlier this week well where they raised the issue and they went around the table and they said in effect, we shouldnt be talking about this. I agree. I kind of wanted to take a shower after reading some of this stuff, but this does confirm hollywood hot shots as duplicitous. Hollywood is not in Barack Obamas back pocket, as we thought they were. Amy is a supporter of it doesnt matter. What president would get respect . His poll numbers are down, even his base is attacking him and being racist. There are some emails that spilled out involving New York Times columnist new york dowd telling amy pascal, i would make sure you look great if pascal would give dowd an interview and showing the column to her husband. The first thing people learn in Journalism School is you dont show your product to your source or to whoever else is interested, has a vested interest in this until its written. That said, she came out and said i did not do this. Right. But then there was the exchange afterwards of she gets the interview and amy writes to mau even, youre my favorite person. And she writes youre my favorite person. Her boss defends it by saying it was just an air kiss, youre great, im great. Shes writing an article about this woman. You know, yes, theres a certain way to thank you for the interview, great talking to you, but its not you dont do that. Love and kisses all around. Maybe not for you two.

But up next, the Washington Post reporter who found glaring contra decision how much money do you have in your pocket right now . I have 40, 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so.

A thesed the badly botched account of the Rolling Rolling piece on an alleged rain after allege ad being sexually assaulted at a party. One questioned the motives of the we Rolling Stone reporter Sabrina Erdely whose story was extreme. She looked for a piece that could be sensationalized. We are not really close and she is a big good storyteller so i am confused. I wish i knew she decided to portray everyone who tried to help her as somehow horrible and animal house frat boys. We have the Washington Post reporter who first uncovered many of the contradictions. You talked to three of the friends on the record now who were with jackie that night and they got great her the name of the guy she was dating would brought her to the party where she said show was attacked by him and his friends and ttexted a picture of the guy. Name of the person in the picture is not who she identified as her date an entirely different person. He said he did know her but they did not have many interactions and he said they had not sat at the same lunch time. The name of the guy who she told the group of friends was the person who lured her into the alleged sexual attack . Thank you is a different name she gave to friends in recent days. You got in touch with this new name . The second person, correct. What did youb รท find . That he never met her but he was a lifeguard and they never met. What was the demeanor of the people who are her friends but sharing grave doubts with you . Was it hard to get them to talk . Confusion. They were happy to speak with me. I reached out to them and all agreed to speak first on the condition we use the names used in Rolling Stone and new they are speaking publicly. They felt they were not portrayed correctly and the article did not capture in Rollin
