Time for the daily bias back -- just didn't -- come told radio news service one of our favorite sparring partners on this segment.

-- again today from DC good to see -- Justin.

They -- to be here always happens -- I guess everybody remembers.

The -- campaign promise -- President Obama made back in 2008 with closing gitmo.

Not so much and you think the media is giving him something of apostle that.

You know I do.

We saw the news that he was -- orientation the dignitary who's there who's overseeing its closure and you know -- essentially that is giving up.

And in response the media has given kind of a collective shrug.

And this didn't really sharp contrast to what we saw under bush where there was continuous.

Criticism over Guantanamo Bay.

And a series of foreign policy.

You know I was in the steps that he took and -- -- not seeing any of that being you know reflected on Obama even though he is pursuing some of the same policies.

And in a lot of cases pursuant ones that are you know just -- just desire questionable if not more so -- I think pilots who really obvious double standards.

Did the wind and we did when you told a Baghdad get low end and -- the other pots of perhaps.

President Bush's policies that have been carried full would even stepped up I guess we we look at drone strikes as well the drone campaign.

Wouldn't.

Do you think we would be seeing a very different coverage -- in many top of the media Justin.

If this were a Republican president doing the exact same things.

I I had to be absolutely what.

And that's was really disconcerting about this you know during.

The Bush Administration I think the media has pretty much on the ball going after -- -- questionable practices.

And they're not going after it now and it really just raises questions.

You know -- -- really actually looking for a more sane and you know more responsible foreign policy where they really being good watchdogs or were they playing politics and that I think is the question that needs to be answered now.

So give it if you're in the media though how do you how would you -- The sort of -- closing it.

All of get model I mean there is Arab is our policy issue.

You don't -- that -- the reasons are what do you think what you've just sort of except well it's not closing therefore it's not a story is that what's going on here.

What example is still fertile ground for a story you know right now we have the ongoing hearings for Khalid Sheikh Mohamed.

And that has gotten very little coverage in the media even though there -- reporters over there right now who are saying that it is kind of a questionable.

He scenario that's going on right now where.

Things are being censored by people that they don't quite know were behind.

You know -- decisions and whatnot.

And regardless if it's still hope it's still a big story it's still.

As the president put a recruiting tool for a lot of potential terrorists and it's still something that should very much be part of the public debate.

All right will see if the media -- -- to the occasional rises to.

Justin is challenge and just -- -- of course is just one of those who holds the media's feet to the file.

Every weekend Saturday's 2:30 and 11:30 eastern on FOX News Watch hosted by -- Scott -- wonderful to see you as always have a good day my friend.

I think you Jonathan.
