That is not joints I was bring in our media analyst -- over joins us from my and it's it might be an old -- Watch here my -- doing this burning.
I I wish you were but I'm afraid you're not.
Let's put this into perspective.
Because this isn't happening in a vacuum with Hillary Clinton for years ago.
The so called mainstream media fell in love with Barack Obama.
And they've been slobbering over him ever since and it was because he was a historic.
Figure.
He wasn't Mondale he wasn't Dukakis he wasn't gore he wasn't carrying.
He was a politician who was on the verge of becoming the first black president of the United States and a lot of journalists who were too young to cover the civil rights.
Stories of the sixties.
They weren't going to miss out.
I'm I'm helping to shape history twice so they covered -- the way they covered him you know by slobbering all over him.
Now we have Hillary Clinton.
Who is another potential historic.
Figure she could be the first woman president of the United States and this week after those hearings.
The media began slobbering in earnest.
And it will continue.
And it will ratchet up when she announces that she's running for president of the United States and you know what bill.
It doesn't matter what you think about this it doesn't matter what I think about this.
It doesn't matter what Krauthammer thinks about it doesn't matter what Brit -- thinks about it it doesn't matter what anybody.
Thinks about it because these people these journalists were born without the embarrassment -- Nothing embarrasses them about how they behave.
Do you think.
That Brian Williams.
And the rest of that Diane Sawyer.
Martha Raddatz.
Do you think that they know.
How old they sounded.
While introducing.
A very important story secretary State's testimony in front of congress you think that they realize.
How it was coming across.
Yes.
That's it that's a great question.
No.
And it's because when you live in a bubble and everybody is sort of -- like.
You don't notice stuff that guys left.
Guys like us notice I mean you know I'll give me an example with Martha Raddatz.
The most meaningless term in the English language is I take full responsibility.
When a politician utters those words it means absolutely.
Nothing.
So when Hillary Clinton said she takes full responsibility.
Martha Raddatz praised her she said she's taking all the blame on her shoulders.
A more skeptical reporter would say.
-- what is that meet.
What is taking full responsibility me.
And some country in most countries and most governments outside the United States.
There's a price you pay I'm not advocating Harry Kerry or anything like that.
But when she says she takes responsibility -- Martha Raddatz think that's a good thing without pursuing it.
No I don't think they understand what they sound like I'm sure they don't understand what they sound.
OK.
So this is a huge advantage for the Democratic Party.
Over the Republican Party that's number one and that's the big -- -- sixty minutes and I'm not do this has tip of the day at the end of the programs not gonna give away my feeling about the interview but I do want to address this with you.
Sixty minutes is pretty much the last line of defense for me.
With the national television media I think it's an honest broadcast.
I think they're still tough guys over there although Mike Wallace was the toughest the -- Mike Wallace.
I admire croft is a contemporary of mine we came up together.
He's got -- interview Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton -- -- He's the last hole.
The last hope.
To get this Libya saying where it should be -- the folks understand.
What happened and who screwed up.
And I'm gonna -- the -- I'm gonna do the lead story on on Monday in a talking points on Monday -- let's handicap it you think croft is gonna get it.
Well I know Steve very well we were colleagues for very long time and we've socialized and all that.
And and I like -- -- he's good and it's a big opportunity for -- a big opportunity.
It's not it's not up to me to sit here on your program -- -- want to ask that'll do it anyway Iraq for one question should be one question should be.
Why -- those survivors of Ben -- still under wraps.
I mean why why why I haven't they've been allowed to say anything that's one question -- -- question another good one would be.
You know it looks to -- too many objective observers that the two of you Mr.
President and madam secretary of state.
We're totally unprepared for what happened -- Ben -- even though it happened.
On the anniversary of 9/11.
You're still on prepared how do you defend yourself against that.
And just a personal question which has nothing to do with Ben Ghazi but something I would want to ask is Mr.
President I'm just curious I've been curious about this for a long time.
Are you embarrassed.
By the slobbering that the media.
-- you know does for you are you embarrassed by their slobbering.
You eat they usually put you on the cover with the halo and then a few months later says you're the second coming.
Does not embarrass you and.
All you could do deadly that's -- that question in the in the -- -- high wage.
All of the Hillary Clinton testimony this is certainly they weren't tough on Hillary -- -- Again I'm gonna have that as a tip of the day back of the show and tell you stuff about the sixty minutes interview Bernie as always thank you --
