journalism it is that journalists in the country refuse to seriously consider and give real treatment to a viable theory about where a virus started that has killed 600,000 people in this country. it was not allowed. you could not speak of it. if you did or like senator tom cotton you were raked over the coles. that is an unbelievable failure of journalism over the last year. i m glad that jon stewart showed up and did what he did. i think it shines spotlight, it s an awkward thing for the media that participated in basically this coverup to the delight of china. that is the opposite of journalism and i think one of the biggest failures of the industry in recent memory. howie: some liberals went nuts online, calling stewart a racist, anti-chinese, all because he broke with the media s disdain for this theory which president biden has ordered a review of this by intelligence agencies. final thoughts.
someone they can point to saying she is outrageous. and the senate majority leader says an insensitive thing and the spokesman does cleanup and it goes away pretty quickly. i believe in forgiveness. if i mess up, i hope people will give me a second chance and forgive me. i think it should be a two-way street, whether you have an r next to your name or a d. seems like with schumer seems like he got an easy pass. howie: i was struck, he didn t issue an apology in his own name. the media is shocked by the disclosure by the new york times obtaining a bunch of e-mails that president trump sent through an assistant to the justice department in the final weeks, urging the doj to investigate unproven election allegations that failed in recent lawsuits, threatening to replace the acting ag jeffrey rosen in the final weeks when he wouldn t go along. is this a big story even though
we re not breaking news on that point. i m saying why do you let biden get away with that stuff, releasing classified material on our key sections? why do we let putin get away with it? they didn t even criticize putin who said oh, hackers, we don t hack. the hacking is coming from north america and the u.s. and canada. that s utter nonsense. howie: it s utter nonsense. the media is completely wrong. howie: all right. the media is completely wrong. wheres the investigative reporting on this? howie: let me get you in on financial policy, president biden pushing a $6 billion budget excuse me, $6 trillion budget, in infrastructure, healthcare, climate change. why isn t more of the press warning about blowing up the deficit and the debt? well, that s a good question, howard kurtz. actually you and i would probably agree on that. there should be a lot more investigative reporting there, a lot more critical reporting. i want to say again, going back
the tone. would people on your side be so patient under a republican president? well, i think the big story here was comparing a helsinki with geneva, comparing biden with president trump, who stood up there next to vladimir putin and said that he believed the word of putin over that of his own intelligence services. guy s right, that was a low point in diplomacy. this time, it s all a he question of expectations, howard. if you expect biden to behave like an experienced politician, an experienced diplomat, someone who know these issues and would not move us closer to world war iii, move us towards more talks to try to end the cyber attacks that are going on in this new cold war, i d say in those terms he succeeded. howie: the next question, the media built this up to an unbelievable degree, who will
why hasn t the media covered this, howie? where s the media. we re covering it on kudlow. where s the rest of the media covering this? howie: you said on your show, 70% of the american media probably has the wrong adversary. what does that mean? well, yeah, 70% of the american media, by the way, is probably not on the u.s. side. maybe they re on biden s side. certainly weren t on trump s side. howie: on potentially on russia s side? well, you take a look. did anybody really criticize vladimir putin? tell me. where was the criticism of vladimir putin? and by the way, where was the criticism of biden? i mean, this was coverage this was like, you know, plain vanilla coverage, everything s okay. i don t know what side they re on. but i m very skeptical, the mainstream is a left wing media. you know that.
