It's the Media Buzz Meter with Howard Kurtz.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am very pleased to announce that I finally finished fixing my car,

which is a bit of a nightmare yesterday.

Hey, hope you have a good weekend coming up.

We have so many moving parts to Media Buzz. A lot of things I need to update for the show,

which I hope you'll have a chance to catch. Obviously, Easter Sunday coming up, but maybe

you'll tape it if you are going to be celebrating in any way, shape, or form. So on this Good Friday,

I want to dive right in because we have all this material that I want to get to, and some of it's important.

But it's funny how many stories I'm working on simultaneously that need updating.

I mean, there's a phrase I often use, moving target, and that's where we are right now.

So, beginning with story number one.

Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollande went to El Salvador, wasn't able to get into the notorious prison there, was turned away, but then, for some reason,

he was able to meet with Abrago Garcia, the man who was originally, the Trump administration said, mistakenly, was sent there.

And now they've sort of flipped and said, no, he deserves to be there.

So maybe with PR in mind, the president of El Salvador, Bucalae, who by the way, we'll do anything that Donald Trump wants, arranged a meeting.

And it was a photo op.

And they're sitting there, a nice background, some luxury hotel, and Bucalae said something about

they're sipping mitis.

Well, that was completely staged, you know, as the shot was taking place, he came out with these drinks.

So this almost felt like, you know, a Red Cross visit where Van Holland needed to at least

certified that the guy was okay.

And Bucle himself put out the picture.
