his own credibility, especially as he covers hillary clinton s presidential campaign? jeb bush kicks up a storm by ignoring a key part of meghan kelly s question. on the subject of iraq, obviously very controversial knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion? i would have and so would have hillary clinton, just to remind everybody and so was almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence that they got. how did the former governor bobble that question about what we know now, and will the media keep pressing him to disavow his brother s policies? president obama says the media needs to do a better reporting job on issues like poverty in order to help him change the minds of republicans and takes a swipe at fox news. and david letterman about to hang it up with an all-star parade of guests. at one point, we suggested
so we also have in this speech, where he s making a bipartisan appeal the president had a few words to say about fox news, take a look. and i think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don t want to work are lazy you know, are undeserving, got traction. i have to say, if you watch fox news on a regular basis, it is a constant menu they will find like folks who make me mad. i don t know where they find them. so then jon stewart and others followed up with clips of certain fox hosts and guests saying government programs make the poor lazy, the poor aren t that poor, because they have computers and cell phones these days. and i guess the president sees that as heartless. what do you think of him dragging fox in when he s doing this sort of bipartisan conference?
overboard in predicting doom and gloom for jeb? and later brit hume complaining that the media and fox news do a lousy job of covering these issues. he says she s an undisciplined overwaterer. she claims he s a cruel underwaterer. with miracle-gro moisture control potting mix, plants only get water when they need it. fight ended. or shifted? miracle-gro. life starts here. i love making sunday dinners. but when my back hurt, cooking all day. forget about it. tylenol was ok, but it was 6 pills a day. but aleve is just 2 pills all day. and now, i m back! aleve. huh, 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know that game show hosts should only host game shows? samantha, do you take kevin as your lawfully wedded husband.
news. joining us now is brit hume fox s senior political analyst. let s start with a broad discussion. the president says we need better and deeper reporting on issues like poverty and the economy. haven t media critics have been saying that for years? for as long as i can remember and i ve been in this business for almost 50 years, but we re a news media, right? and when all hell breaks loose in the inner city as it has recently in baltimore, you re going to get related coverage. everybody parachutes in. that s right. everybody says what are we going to do about urban poverty and racial tensions. and that triggers discussion segments to some length on chat shows and elsewhere. and then we all move on and a train crashes and we cover that. that s right. that s what we do. that s the nature of the news business. and he s not the first president or the first person to lament that but we re not in the business of convening seminars for the purpose of advancing the presiden
iraq and the fact that democrats like hillary clinton supported going in and media outlets like the new york times contributed to it. so that said this was a perfectly legitimate question for meghan kelly, for example, to be raising, and it was a perfectly legitimate reaction by the press to say, you know, he stumbled for, you know, for days before it was not an unexpected question. you should know what you re going to say. he had a year to prepare for this question. but is it i have a few seconds here. is it also that the press is trying to find some daylight between jeb bush and george w. bush or hang the bush presidency around his candidacy. it s a reality of covering jeb bush is george bush and you have to be ready for that if you re a so-called front-running candidate. we re going to continue this discussion on the other side. remember to send me a tweet, tell us what you think about this show or the issues we re talking about here, stephanopoulos stephanopoulos jeb,
