Welcome back to on the Honda -- -- dot com live I'm Jonathan -- time the -- -- -- with -- will not -- today bureau chief.

A told a radio news service and -- -- Fox News contributor.

LN.

You're going to be nice to be fame.

I would I would love it.

And in.

I've -- President Obama sort of taking -- Fox News.

I -- they don't ask my opinion at the White House -- If I was president United States or vice president or First Lady or any of that the last thing you want to do is to go after -- -- organization.

Still he does -- And he doesn't interview.

With -- What I am new republic and he doesn't you know -- -- -- retirement because after Fox News.

Now Fox News and others including some of us have been excluded from some of the conference calls we've certainly complained about it but they don't like your take on things.

Here kind of -- out.

And at -- -- the president the better discretion is the better part of valor.

He should have not said anything but you don't go after news organization for -- we have freedom of the press in this country last time I looked.

And by going after a news organization you're essentially saying.

Well this news organization.

Should be toeing the line look I'm a liberal I got news story it was a bad mistake when he did an interview.

Are trapped for around to the new republic -- dressing had -- and -- -- -- -- -- -- -- the -- the some have accused the venerable mr.

croft of -- -- even more venerable sixty minutes of telling rather too much of the line.

In that interview with the President Obama and second of state Clinton what was your take on the.

Well mr.

-- did an interview himself on an interview when he did he said you know he knew that the president was going to get going to do -- -- journalism.

Well hello.

I thought sixty minutes was all about in some respects and -- -- -- claps.

To do some hard questions you know a lot of us don't have a lot of access we don't have the clout to sometimes stand up and those press conferences and ask the hard questions will be cut off forever.

But sixty minutes has all the -- in the world they have a huge audience they should've asked a few little hard questions.

All right so well how -- this all gonna play have dead do you think Ellen yeah I mean it always does seem slightly all the way and the when you see -- administration.

Get defensive towards the media.

It rarely sort of ends well for them they don't always seems to backfire so why do -- doing it.

Because they don't have good advisors.

I mean that's the only thing I can think of it is that really.

Well why would they it it just makes it blows the mind when I saw.

That and it and it didn't it is the written part the transcript of that interview I was going to want to.

Who would ever tell the president to do that I just I can't imagine but I also want to deal with three other things you know -- -- often happens.

Wind things are left out not necessarily when things are putting in their three areas that we have seen bias.

The Menendez.

And senator Menendez from New Jersey I have until like -- actors certainly a question of some sexual improprieties.

Presses the left that -- Same thing about women in combat that has not been and investigative story apparently there are some issues.

That the Marines did a report and that was now I'd like to see it I believe in women in combat but we should see everything he asks and same with the lot right to life march.

It has not really been covered as to what's gonna happen -- so there's three here is there have been minimal coverage and had this been a Republican.

With the senator Menendez pool boy it would have been top of the -- break.

All right I interesting thoughts as always -- -- -- -- is one of those you can see.

We -- on FOX News Watch two city in 11:30 PM eastern Saturdays.

Hosted by -- Scott discussing the way that all of these all sorts of issues -- -- led -- by the media Alan great to see you as always thanks very much thank you hardware.
