was struggling. i always thought i was pretty empathetic, emphatic. i think i was very, excuse me, empathetic. you know, that s an example of the stroke, empathetic. before having a stroke. but now after having that stroke is, i really understand, you know, much more kind of the challenges that americans have day in and day out. what you saw and heard there, the auditory processing challenges, the speech challenges howard: the nbc correspondent also shared this observation with her viewers we did find that in small talk before the interview without captioning it seemed it was difficult for fetterman to understand our conversation. howard: this prompted a fierce backlash. podcaster kara swisher called burns account just nonsense. maybe this reporter was just bad at small talk. new york magazine offered up a cover story on fetterman saying his comprehension is not at all impaired. he understands everything. burns didn t suggest otherwise, but plenty of stories have r
states can handle. shifting them to self proclaimed the border is a mess. most of the coverages one-sided. what it is revealing his martha s vineyard s officials were not told and they had to scramble to get that confused migrants into an emergency shelter and overnight at a church. it gave the migrants to a military base being used. we will have more on this ahead. i am howard kurtz and this is media buzz. the media keep reporting that in the state battles over abortion rights they are energizing some republicans are softening their rhetoric. lindsay graham introduced a bill to further restrict abortions in states where it is illegal. outlawing late term abortions. just about no one on the right or left likes the senator s proposal. after 15 weeks, no abortion on demand except for in cases of rape, incest, to save the life of the mother and that should be where america is at. graham s dangerous ugly desperation move is the most definitive evidence you will ever get.
and politico and others kept updating what was in and out edit opposing of members on border security, they just cancel each other out and impress of lycée 19th century law with one sewing up to the vice president, has no power to block of federal funds is donald trump pressured mike pence to do and some republicans wanted to be attorneys to talk on national security grounds but had to settle for bargaining on government devices that was $45 billion in ukraine where the president biden had asked for all flavors like a bailout, and to mention, extra security for former house speaker, every horrible attack on nancy pelosi s husband and it is been an absolute lower and they try to keep up with this ever-changing monstrosity in the lawmakers just wanted to resell. i m howard and this is media buzz. ahead is elon musk, is he really giving up his job is twitter s chief executive, and the incredibly cozy relationship between the company and the fbi and the democrats on the house
rises to 66% and for trump voters, 98%. these are mostly self-inflicted wounds. sensationalism and serious mistakes have decimated public trust in the press especially on the right. now, for some pokes in this hyperpolarized era, threat to democracy may be a pox city for i just don t like the media or i think they re ooh nice to the other side. and the trump-style press-bashing has taken its toll. i m not going to sugar coat it, we have lost our role as a fair umpire of political disputes. the gaps want to throw us off the field. even the fact checkers believe it s partisan. i hate that so many americans now view my profession as a threat to them can crass, but i can t say i m shocked. i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard: one sign just over two to weeks before the midterms that the election is moving in the republicans direction is that even liberal pundits and news outlets are conceding the point. the party of woke scolds and gender studies grads knockou
i interrupt you with i m sorry to interrupt you, we re going to go with leticia janes. howard: and new york s democratic attorney general who had postponed her press conference until biden was off the air, announced a civil suit against donald trump, his adult children and the trump organization. donald trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and to cheat the system. howard: and that is the trump-obsessed media environment we all live in. msnbc spent hours and hours talking about almost nothing other than the suit against trump which he denounced as a political witch hunt calling leticia james a fraud. cnn was more balanced but devoted plenty of time to the lawsuit including an interview with michael to cohen who showed up on hsnbc as well. fox news covered the story but much less than its rivals. as for the president, russia and ukraine, i m sure by now joe biden is accustomed to being blown off the screen by the former pr
