85-90% of viral transmission happens in those first fife days which is why we really want people to stay home during that period of time and then mask for the rest of the time. howard: okay, sure. and on the today show and cnn, walensky dodged the questions. so from what you re saying, it sounds like this decision had just as much to do with business as it did the science. why should americans trust the cdc? my job right now is to take all of the science and the information that we have and to deliver guidance and recommendations to the american people. howard: the jig was up when anthony fauci admitted on msnbc that there was a strong economic motivation behind the move. that might have a negative impact on our ability to maintain the structure of society, of all the essential workers that you would need if you keep them all out for a period of ten days. howard: look, there should be a media debate over these strategies. but whether it s mandates or masks, remember w
president jay wallace while not condoning the antagonisticking tone said we do support open exchanges for the american people. and fox announced it would file a friend of the court brief in the case in which cnn won. i have been extremely critical of acosta, but i said the white house shouldn t revoke his pass. fox has been under fire this week over january 6th texts from three of its hosts, and here s what don lemon had to say about this network. why does jen psaki even continue to call on fox in the briefing room? your network is promoting bs and lies about what is actually happening in the country and helping to inspire and incite an since protection, why should they be able to take part? howard: i m sorry, but this is a really low blow. if he wants to score cheap points by pretending fox doesn t have a news division, by ignoring the fact that peter doocy often generates news by asking important questions, he has lost sight of what matters in journalism. by that reas
alan dershowitz joins us shortly. but first, a sidebar that shouldn t be lost. i m talking about msnbc being banned from the courtroom. as the jurors were leaving after a day of deliberations, police stopped a man who identified himself as an msnbc price. and as judge bruce schrader explained, he said his bosses in new york had given him an assignment. he gave that information and stated that he had been instructed by ms. ryland in new york to follow the jury bus. i have instructed that no one from msnbc will be permitted in this building until duration of this trial. this is a are serious matter. howard: nbc claims this was a freelancer who just happened to be near the bus and had no intention of photographing the jurors. if he was trying to do that, it would be monumentally dumb given the tense situation in the wisconsin town. was msnbc actually thinking of putting out pictures of the jurors and putting them in danger? i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard

start us off. hi, mark. reporter: griff, good afternoon. the white house is is certainly trying to put a more positive spin on this latest jobs report, but critics aren t buying it. they say americans know what s going on when they look at the higher prices they re paying on pretty much everything they buy. the latest jobs report for the month of does show the unemployment rate did go down. however, americans are seeing where things stand as they look at the economy overall. fewer jobs created last month, so the white house is essentially being forced to play defense to argue the country s on the right track. we re actually making real progress. maybe it doesn t seem fast enough. i d like to see it faster, and we re going to make it faster. maybe it doesn t appear dramatic again. but i d too, like i said, like to move it faster. reporter: republicans had a statement saying this report shows creating 300,000 fewer jobs than expected proves higher taxes will leaf working
