>> all we hear from these people is thoughts and prayers, and people keep on dying and dying. that california attack just days after people were killed at a planned parenthood clinic. are the media turning mass murder into a partisan blame game? >> what about the bizarre spectacle of the tv reporters rummaging through the terrorists' apartment. as they play up a republican party revolume that's stopping -- "new york times" reporting that republicans are panicking, they are panicking, running around scared like chickens with their heads cut off, because they are realizing that donald trump could go all the way. >> i have two questions to ask anybody -- who takes on donald trump? and when do they do it? >> we have an anonymous senator saying this is armageddon for our party, but i'm afraid to saying any. >> no one seems to be leading it. plus rahm emanuel facing calls for his resignation, and a police cover-up a year after, an officer under indictment after he was caught shooting a black teenager 16 times. this "mediabuzz." nltz nltz relies that front page editorial for the first time since 1920, calls for sweeping gun control measures. including banning certain times, saying there's no need to debate the peculiar wording. is the paper declared a moral outrage, a national disgrace that civilians can purchase such weapons. joining us to analyze the 3450edia role and the impact on the presidential campaign, ed henry fox's chief white house correspondent jim garrity. co-author of heavy lifting, grow up, get a job, raise a family and other manly advise and penny lee. every weigh in, putting the out there on the front page. >> without agreeing or disagrees, this is what big media institutions should do, get their hands dirty on the big issues. people are scared right now. these kinds of -- there's terror, number one, but there is an explosion of gun violence in recent months, recent years, and it appears that or leaders in washington are doing nothing about it. in fairness to the republicans, i think we should press the republicans as "new york times" did, because the republican congress hasn't done anything, but the democrats to suggest from president obama to hillary clinton that there's some magic formula here, that something on gun control would have stopped what happened in california, that's simply not true. >> i've rarely seen a newspaper one to desperately cry for attention. we know you don't pay attention, also it screamed enhave at the "new york daily news" why is this other newspaper getting attention for attacking -- we can outrageous and controversial, too. >> i think it was absolutely appropriate to draw, as ed was saying, to draw out the debate. to put out that debate forward to the american public. this, irregardless of san bernardino, there have been multiple episodes year in and year out, and the attention -- or a absolute hasn't been drawn, so to bring and provoke that debate was absolutely necessary. >> interesting, in the digital age, it doesn't matter where the editorial runs, but for the people who read the print device, it was fancy attention getting. if the media is covering this through a tighter lens now, does that help donald trump? >> probably not. but i much prefer a conversation compared to, oh, my god, did you hear what donald trump just said. ? what do you think? this is a major issue for the candidates to talk about as opposed to the controversy du jour of did he say he wanted a muslim registry? >> it's trying to clarify. the president going on -- only the third one from the oval office. after all the media criticism, saying he missed a moment he wasn't reflecting the fears and concerned of the american people, is this kind of a do-over? >> i think up until that news conference in turkey that you mentioned has given the president a pretty being pass. you go back a couple years ago when he was call isis the jv team, and fast forward to the day of the paris attacks, okay, it was bad timing, abc news had taped the interview the day before, it ran on friday morning of the attacks on "good morning america" but he said we have isis contained, and then over 100 people are slaughtered in paris hours later. the president didn't get a lot of grief about that. he then at that news conference appeared a little listless about the whole deal, but specifically not just appearance, said moo strategy is working, we don't need major changes. look what is going on. >> the press clearly not buying that argument. >> are the media pressing the candidates, as they should in vociferous terms about what they would do? >> i think they they are trying, whether or not to get them pinned down is a whole other subject. >> how many ground troops -- >> but every time you ask, especially like a donald trump who is very skilled talking around the issues, other than to say good management, just wait and see, i'll be able do it, i'm smart, smart, smart, and he allows that to happen. i think they do have a problem on their hand, though they do try to ask the question, they never gets answers. we saw earlier at the top of the show. clips of various anchors talking about a republican revolt, a so-called republican establishment against donald trump. this sprung from a "new york times" story that there was panic among the gop, because donald trump looks like a serious threat to wince this nominati nomination. why is this a story? >> this should ver panicked a long time ago. if they are panicked now, i'm not say they should or shouldn't be, i'm a reporter, but wake up and smell the coffee. donald trump has dominating this race on both sides. he's had the republican -- >> there was this refrain in the press, it's a summer squall. >> you know what? the press was wrong and they're probably wrong now, pick whatever you want to say. so i'm very skeptical when el hear this media narrative starting tess numbs information and parroted by all other kinds of people that left, right and center, there's panic, and the republicans have to do something. nobody knows if they'll have the guts to do anything. every republican presidential candidates, starting with rick perry, bobby jindal, they have all gone down. so the pundits who told us donald trump was not for real, saying the republicans have to do something, i don't believe these now, either. >> "new york times" on the el torrie page has really gone after trump vehemently, here's today's paper, front page, news story, 95,000 words -- >> sun the gun editorial? >> no, this is all about the donnell, a news story in which experts panels, what do you make of this as a news story? >> the dark power of his words, howard. >> there's something occult about it. it's a lengthy exercise, it feels like it's approached godwin's law. you know who else was interested in expanding real estate purchases in germany. they the nefarious words he used? "we." i don't mean the friend yes. i remember yes, we did. do you remember the obama ad from 2012, says mitt romney is not one of us? i'm king of the donald trump haters club. >> a charter membership? >> going back to the '8 ons. it was "spy" magazine and myself. it was a little unfair that john kasich ad compared them to nazis. he's not the man in the high castle. >> also that mitt romney gave a worker cancer. >> fine to criticize his words, but this language analysis says he's like george wallace, joe mccarthy. what do you make of that? >> again it goes back to the earlier point, this is not someone who sits down for interviews, so they are relying on what they've heard in the rallies, what they have seen and heard from his own speeches. he doesn't sit down for printed newspaper. >> that's not true. >> he goes on television and dials in -- >> trump regularly -- >> he regular his talks to robert cost la at "the washington post" or "new york times." i don't think inaccessibility -- >> he did not comment for this story. when you asks the questions, he doesn't have answers so therefore they're parsing his words and going through to try to determine who he is as a person based on what they see as far as in the forums and in the larger public and the drive-by run-through television interviews. >> instead of chewing over the sinister details of policies, they go through the sinister implications of the words. how are we going to do it, hour? we're just going to do it this circular logic, half-completed sentences. >> he user "horrible" 14 times, the word "we" 13 times. >> it's been a horrible week. >> it's horrible when terrorists kill innocent civilians, so it's not out of blue. >> one of the lead anecdotes about donald trump's language is a 2-year-old girl at virginia saying i'm scared, what are you going to do to protect this country? i'm not going to defend everything he's said and done, but when a 12-year-old stands up, if your language is harsh, it's because a 12-year-old is saying -- >> exactly. let me turn to hillary clinton on abc's "this week" this morning with george stephanopoulos, who of course worked with hillary clinton, of course was cry sized for making the $ 75,000 in donation, pretty touch but viewing about her e-mails and what she would do, and played this clip from donald trump. >> she's do a couple minutes in iowa, meaning a short period of time, and they she goes home, you don't see her for five, six days. she goes home and goes to sleep. i'm telling you. she doesn't have the strength. she doesn't have the stamina. >> oh, goodness gracious. >> i guess you don't agree. >> who can agree with anything he says? it's subject to one second of fact checking. >> let's go around quickly. >> i think it was a great way to see her reaction. it is true. it is a one-minute fact check he's doing. it shows her own ability to laugh at herself. >> shorts answers. >> what a laugh it is. the observation about trump, yes, he does do a lot of televised interviews. how often did hillary clinton do tough, hostile questions? >>. >> not very often, but i think on the fact check part she membersed. she doesn't space it out by six days. she sometimes has a lighter schedule. she's ooh she's far ahead, whereas on the republican side they're fighting for dear life. she doesn't space her sp events out by six days. a little bit 6 an overstatement. you can e-mail us. whether the media are playing a polarizing role after the mass shootings and a planned parenthood when we come back. . do journalist no longer care? at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. quiet! mom has a headache! had a headache! but now, i...don't excedrin® is fast. in fact for some, relief starts in just 15 minutes. excedrin®. now available in geltabs. it was another hillary document dump, nearly 8,000 pages of e-mails, some of them containing classified information, but nothing that the mainsfreem media considered a bombshell, some conservative commentators considering why this wasn't a larger story. >> i don't think any charges will be -- she did pit security in jeopardy, the largest breach in history. >> she cannot escape responsibility by saying these e-mails weren't market. of course they weren't marked. >> but nobody cares. that's how she escapes responsibility. so the reporting on this was mostly about she couldn't find showtime to watch "homeland." what's your take? >> he has 999 problems and the fbi is one of them. there's now 999 e-mails that had some sort of classified einformation. at the beginning the story, i know the deal, there was no classified information in my server. that was not true. as brit hume was saying, she says it was not marked. in fairness, a lot of officials are say you're being sent real-time sensitive information, of course it hasn't been marked. the point is her server was going around the system that marked things classified or not. at the end of the day is there a bombshell? no, does that mean it's not serious? no, as well. there was some back-and-forth about her benghazi testimony a couple years ago. >> more documents come out anding there nothing that can be classified as bombshell, and it seems more incremental. >> i think you had every major outlet cover it, at least at some point. so they did cover it. whether or not there was a bombshell or not, there wasn't, so i think people are turning their attention to what is the outcome of the fbi investigation. that is where the focus will be. if on recommendation, whether or not they find anything. if anything is actionable. that's where the story is moving. >> i was surprised that charlie rose didn't bring this up. but he did -- i think that seems to be the media du jour. >> you were surprised, some of us weren't. i'm not worried that grandma can't use the fax machine anymore. back before she was a candidates remember "new york times" and other institutions were doing good reporting on the idea of the clinton foundation donors getting ashes deals approved, or as countries, state departments of war, she never got asked about those questions. there were a couple old scanned always that still haven't gotten addressed. i would much rather she be asked about that, so you're having trouble with the remote on your tv, aren't you? >> in fairness, those e-mails showing a quid pro quo perhaps on the clinton foundation are not there. is that because there's future document dumps coming on new year's eve, for example? or were those e-mails destroyed? or maybe less nefarious, they do not exist. >> maybe it's purely coincide coincidental. >> i'll expect you tosh working new year's eve for the latest. >> thank you all very much for joining us. ahead, should journalists be calling for rahm emanuel's resignation after a chicago police cover-up in the killing of a teenager. up next, how are different news outlets covering the controversy over donald trump. our media microscope is straight ahead. when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill?

gayle trouter to contributes to several outlets. richard fowler, host of a syndicated radio show. what do you think of this cover? >> it's the same thing that "new york times" did. they took their editorial put it on the first page. they just did it with a more concise fashion, with one sentence being their thesis. it shows that many in the media assume that gun control will fix the mass shootings that we're having and the terrorist attacks. it's offensive to a lot of americans, because it feels like it's an attack on our first amendment right, but also the second amendment rights to make sure we can protect ourselves and our families. so richard, some conservative adopt at a timer saying thinks typical of at the media. and suggesting that those who disagree are smog abetting violence. where there's smoke there's fire. the shootings over the past two weeks say we have a large problem, and the media is just highlighting that problem. >> no problem whatsoever with this cover? >> i think the media is pointing on you there's a fallacy in the problems. and we have seen no works. nobody is saying -- i don't think the media or "new york daily news" is saying passing background checks will stop terrorism. i think there's a time for you are to push forward action. case in point, right, when the media covered the selma -- the protester crossesing the bridge 50 years ago, the idea was by covering this we could invoke action in congress. that's exactly what they did. the m
