now, the polarizing media environment means pro-trump people will feel offended by the attacks, pro-biden feeling the harsh words were justified. i m trying, as always, to stick to the facts, but i get the deep level of distrust. none of this moves the ball or helps solve a single problem facing the country starting with covid. it s just more finger pointing that some folks may well be tuning out. january 6th remains a double tragedy. the violence two blocks from here, a year ago and the toxic politics that have led to a more divided america. i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, brian kilmeade joins us on the media coverage of this emotional week. the 46th president devoted much of his speech in the capitol rotunda to denouncing the 45th prime minister. we didn t see a 45th
for the deaths? if absolutely not. and that s what the mainstream media a has made it out to be. howard: often times, as you point out, it s the only story especially at night. ben, when journalists say there s no evidence that has surfaced to support donald trump s claims of widespread election fraud or that some trump supporters committed serious crimes on january 6th, those are facts. why do many people on your side perceive that as an anti-trump stance by the press? well, i think one aspect of this is just total incuriosity about what we do know about election fraud or stories that are within that area. there is a rush on the part of the media to dismiss any stories along those lines and essentially acting as if they don t matter because they don t want it to reflect some broader belief that the result of the election, the outcome of the election would have been changed. on the flip side of that though, transparency is something we should all welcome.
heal, you are to you have to recognize the extent of the wound. howard: julie, finish your point. you re ripping off the band-aid and actually reinjuring the country by going down that road again. the point here is to move forward and to learn, and ben just made a perfect point. not only is this not to be compared to 9/11 or to pearl harbor, this is a dark stain in american history. does it represent american conservativism in this country? absolutely not. that is where the mainstream media has gone wrong for exactly one year. every single night when you turn on msnbc or cnn, all you see is them talking about january 6th. we realize the insurrection was an absolute disaster, we realize that the extremist followers of president trump s who then just got voted out of office obviously took it too far. could the president have said more to stop them? yes. do i believe that the president perhaps inspired these lunatics? perhaps. but is the president responsible
politicking as politics as opposed to getting real answer. howard: julie, weigh in with the coverage on the january 6th committee. it s an important investigation, but of course there s lots of accusations that helps democrats politically, and and that s why they re pushing so hard. look, the ratings, when you look at the ratings of the mainstream media while the former president was in office, they were great. all they did was go after president trump and attack him on a nightly basis, and it worked. their viewers loved it. but now they ve got a president whose butt they kiss every day, so they ve got to do something to get the ratings to move beyond, you know, the asterisks that some of them are scoring. so, yeah, of course we re going to talk about january 6th because it s the last thing they designate as, like, the former president s last hoorah, and they love to blame him for january 6th. so, of course, they re going to talk about it for a year. it obviously isn t helping them
