>> and you know, we're just, we're calling them and that's what i do. call them like i see them. >> rick santorum takes a shot at fox news, claiming favored treatment towards one of his competitors, really? a u.s. soldier accuse $of a grizz gris grisly crime igniting that region and how has the press handled this sensitive story. and the president has an action packed week of fun and games. how did his administration do during a week of transparency? >> on the panel this week, viter and fox news contributor, judy miller. jim pinkerton, contributing editor the american contract magazine and most of the alan combs radio show, alan gomes. i'm jon scott. fox news watch is on right now. ♪ >> why extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me. but they all seem to. it doesn't matter what country they're in or what religion they claim, they all want to control women. yes, it is hard to believe, but even here at home we have to stand up for women's rights and resecretary efforts to marginalize any one of us, because america needs to set an example for the entire world. >> that's one of the most powerful women in the world, secretary of state hillary clinton, speaking at the women of the world summit and continuing the left's call to arms over what that side has called the right's war on women. what about that, jim? the secretary stated getting into the act, adding her voice to those who suggest that president obama's contraception mandate is really a war on women. >> well, i think this vindicates the hypothesis that hillary clinton is running for president in 2016. and to dive into partisan politics like that, she close to do so. the only way i can think of she is he' running for the democratic primary. >>. >> jon: judy is shaking her head. >> how about this, she's fed up with attacks on woman. peggy noonen, last time i checked, calls the real war on women. mrs. clinton has been the target of this kind of venom. and rush limbaugh of course, called her the sex-tary of state. and there's a long list of attacks on women, that are looked the other way, that are ignored by liberals, by conservatives, and she was reacting to it. good for her! >> but, the sandra fluke story, her testimony in front of congress was described as this attack on women and it was not, was it? >> when the media talk about women. they speak of a monolithic group and never conservative women the same. and new york times writing about women and discriminated against, had to acknowledge a plurality of women, believed that employers should be able to opt out of contraceptive coverage in their insurance poles. how many conservatives women are treated with the same respect at liberal women. it's not a monolith. anyone who thinks that women can be controlled is clearly not a married man. >> there you are. >> look at you. >> yeah! >> you have cnn said-- i'm sorry, the media research center. >> not exactly cnn. >> rolled out the red carpet. >> that's a right wing media, they hate anything, that-- they see left wing media bias everywhere at the media research center. and what you just said it was that hillary clinton was the subject the object of ted nugent and called her the b-word and suggested she put a gun in his mouth. which i thought was despicable. what are they doing forcing women to look at sonograms. >> full disclosure. >> no, no, two states and arizona being one of them and kansas the other, that want to have bills where doctors would be allowed to lie to women. >> oh. >> and so that these bills are in the legislature. >> 90% of abortion minded women see the sonogram choose life. >> and the legislators and bills passed the senate in one state would allow doctors to lie to women and tell them the fetuses are okay so they wouldn't be encouraged to have abortions as opposed to an abortionist, is it okay for doctors to lie to women? >> and in the atlantic, wrote there have been 80 new restrictions on woman's right to abortion, passed by state legislatures in the past year and that's shocking and what women are reacting to. >> no question, there are a lot of pro-life americans, including pro-life women. what's missed here and the media is a frenzy, a chiron of the show, and what he this wrote mickey callus is no conservative in the conventional reckoning in a sense. pointed out. and the polls show that most americans support the opt out provision in what they-- basically support where the catholic church is coming from on this and meanwhile, as obama has been clobbering rick santorum and rush limbaugh, this, according it claus, and he's right. the polls are going down. >> and he came at 51% in the poll-- >> and as for the supposed war on women. what about the supposed war on sarah palin, the game change movie, and wasn't portrayed in a flattering life and the other half of the book is essentially left out. >> and i saw the movie and i'm going to surprise people, i thought was well-done. she came off as a sympathetic person. she was not able to be a quick study on a lot of issues and forced out in front of interviewers like katie couric, and she wasn't ready for the job and i was very sympathetic and she went on that, she got picked less than a year after having a baby and all of these pressures on her. i thought it was extremely well-- >> and members of the campaign said it was rell lies particular. >> and i think pointed out there's an absence on the g.o.p. front, women spokesmen. sarah palin is the exception. we have two, i think, five women, republican women retiring, senators next year, when you go to a hearing and there are no republican women taking a position, testifying, what does that say to the women of america? it says our voice doesn't count. >> look, the media don't focus on conservative women. marsha blackburn is tremendous, articulate member of congress. kay bailey hutchinson, they don't treat those women like conservative women like hillary clinton. >> oh. >> jon: let's talk politics, rick santorum takes the south and takes the media by surprise. >> we have the best chance to win this election, the best chance to win this election! >> is to nominate a conservative to go up against barack obama. >> rick santorum takes the south winning against poll predictions and giving the news media something to think about as the push to pick the g.o.p.'s nominee trudges on, next on news watch. change for just a little money?
