for him and for us, as well. what a contrast in coverage. it seems like media on voting rights thing, didn't mention that most of voting rights act was left intact. >> i mean we have msnbc that gave us great legal mind al sharpton. besides sounding ridiculous it makes the left wing media and msnbc this is partisan hack job. very few reporters was telling us this was a 1965 act and that times have changed. it was very little analysis of why we would need a 1965 fix-it law today in 2013. that commentary was lost. al sharpton and others like blacks could no longer vote. >> the point is they didn't explain what the law was about.
