arrive without damages. because od employees treat customer service... ...like our most important delivery. od. helping the world keep promises. media explosion as fbi again investigates hillary clinton less than two weeks before the election. dominating the headlines and prompting partisan sniping from both sides. >> hillary is surrounded by deviants. that's a problem. that leaves our security exposed. >> it's horrible for hillary clinton but legally we're at a very preliminary stage. >> so the material, in terms of hillary clinton and previous investigation and everything, may be totally insignificant as far as that investigation is concerned. this stuff may mean nothing. >> seems to me director comey did exactly the right thing. he had to go public, otherwise he would have been accused after
8:01 am
this election of hiding it from the voters. >> are the pundits jumping to conclusions about the new e-mails discovered by the bureau. our commentators on the right and the left switching sides about the integrity of fbi chief james comey and will the press make this a defining issue in the home stretch. we'll talk to kellyanne conway and mark cuban. following the latest wikileaks dump, clinton advisers said during the e-mail stanley she has terrible instincts and pathological refusal to apologize. warnings about bill clinton's aides hustling business at the clinton foundation. why are these hacked e-mails finally getting major media attention. plus donald trump opening a new argument in his attacks on the press. >> the meddey isn't just against me. they are against all of you. that's really what they are against. >> is that true? i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz."
8:02 am
the fbi's decision to open an inquiry into hillary clinton again capped a week of very bad press for democratic nominee. new disclosures by wikileak said chelsea clinton complained about her father's aides. campaign manager john podesta said some of her loyalists weren't forthcoming with the facts. long time adviser wrote, they wanted to get away with it. for clinton, her instincts can be terrible. then james comey's letter to capitol hill and both candidates reacted. hillary holding a brief news conference. >> hillary clinton's corruption is on a scale we have never seen before. we must not let her take her
8:03 am
criminal scheme into the oval office. >> have you spoken to houma? has she given you information about that? >> we've heard the rumors. i'm not sure to believe. wheel probably hear more rumors. that's why it's incumbent on the fbi to tell us. in fact, it's not just strange but unprecedented and deeply troubling. >> joining us now to analyze coverage aaron pike political commentator and former reporter for real clear politics. opinion editor of washington times, ruth marcus, editor for "washington post." fbi launching this inquiry, not reopening the investigation as nbc, "politico" and others initially reported and then retract retracted. obviously a bombshell story. what we don't know about these e-mails, should journalists be treating it as a nuclear bomb? >> when it broke on friday, the media covered it breathlessly,
8:04 am
as we should have, because we didn't know what it was going to look like. in the days that followed, said, okay, we need to get our facts straight. it was appropriately covered as it was. >> entire top half you can see three different stories about the fbi issue. obviously it's a big story. the clinton campaign, the press got an e-mail saying. >> my take the gop nominee they would still be all over this. there wouldn't be any questions. the press. >> you don't think a single question about what james comey did? >> i don't believe so, not the way they are covering it now. the clinton campaign wants to discredit james comey, they put out their machine. the fact of the matter, we don't know the falk of the matter. we have to stay tuned. they cannot say they want fbi to
8:05 am
be so transparent and put everything out there when they have really delayed this investigation from the very beginning and have been anything but transparent and that's clinton's team. >> mike isikoff reports they don't know what's in the fbi, huma abedin and former husband anthony weiner, they hadn't even gotten a search warrant. is it possible the coverage, the explosion in the last week, ends up being something that's not that serious? >> it's absolutely possible. it's really a remarkable moment. because one minute, depending on what side of the political spectrum you're on, jim comey is a hero. the next minute he's a fool and vice versa. either the media endorsing his opinion not to prosecute hillary
8:06 am
clinton or attacking him -- it goes so many different ways. look, this is a donald rules feld mome-- rumsfeld moment. there's a speeded up media cycle where we have to act instantly. it was imperative for the media to react to this. it's also imperative for us to then pull the lens back and figure out what we know and do not know. >> let me ask you to react to that. it does reek of hip rockacy. blasting not to pursue charges in the original case and now praising them as this fine public servant. partisan? >> partisan, but that's politics. the media has a responsibility to cover this truthfully and honestly. right now it just seems like they are just taking the clinton line that this is all rigged and doj is in for it for themselves. they attacked donald trump on
8:07 am
those same lines for saying, oh, the election can be rigged. how that's a threat to democracy yet running headlines today doj could be a threat to democracy. that's hypocritical. >> i don't speak for the news side of the paper but the opinion side of the paper but i'm a little bit confused about how we can simultaneously be accusing the media of overhyping this and responding breathlessly and perhaps overexaggerating the impact of this comey letter and the consequence and which, if they were in the tank for hillary clinton they would be downplaying it will it's a little confusing your argument. >> let me get to the flip side, lots of liberal commentators. a par began of authority, handled so perfectly, former bush administration republican who is unfairly tilting the election? >> we saw a lot of this from the media actually on friday afternoon. he was kind of damned if he did,
8:08 am
damned if he didn't either way. he's just a little pawn in the story. >> he's not a pawn, he's director of the fbi. >> he's a major actor. >> he is a major actor but he's one character in a huge story. >> okay. >> and i think that we had to cover this in every way. yes, he made a decision and made a decision again. maybe his decisions were wrong but he had to do what he had to do. >> he is at this point the absolute leading character of this story. >> i'm sorry, this is -- hillary clinton is the leading factor in this story, the fact it originated with her. >> two protagonists, the republican nominee and democratic nominee. i think that one of the things that's important to, take a look at washingtonpost.com, very powerful op-ed by former democratic attorney general and republican. >> that's a never trumper. >> never trumper. >> not exactly unbiased. >> fully disclosed, spent a lot
8:09 am
of time in the justice department, supervising fbi investigations appalled by this. >> when bill clinton and loretta lynch met on the tarmac how disgusted they were about that. i think that's double standard. >> new york it's not a double standard. >> yes, it is. >> if you don't know. >> if you don't know you're not going to investigate what went on in that 39-minute meeting. >> certainly the media covered this. i don't know about these two individuals but the media covered that extensively. let me pull back the camera for a moment. how bizarre is it that anthony weiner who is sexting a girl who said she was 15 and the fbi investigation of that. of course he's married to huma abedin, that drags hillary clinton into the fbi. if you wrote this as a hollywood script, it would be rejected as outlandish. how bizarre is it that the weiner angle that brought us to where we are. >> i think it's totally bizarre. that's something hillary clinton has to deal with. look at the people she keeps around her. i think this is a thing we need
8:10 am
to look at more closely going into the last couple of weeks of the election, last 10 days, nine days. if she is elected, the council that she keeps. this is a big problem. she seems to have this very insular circle and she can't seem to get rid of the people who are causing her trouble. >> a lot of examples. let's turn to wikileaks, a damaging story, couple of days of disclosures. for example, i don't have time to put it on the team. co-chairperson of her transition team saying who actually told hillary she could use a private e-mail. the whole thing is blanking insane. this was clinton foundation stuff. lead story "new york times," "wall street journal," "washington post," above the fold, lead the news, why do you think it's breaking through where earlier stuff did not. >> there was a memorial okay that said quite specifically. >> longtime bill clinton confidant. >> how they used the charity to
8:11 am
enrich president clinton. so that was a bombshell there. >> it was. people seem to think this just came out. in the fall of 2013, the new republic did a cover story called clinton, inc. first rate investigator wrote this story. this is not a new thing. in fact, julian ark goldman at cbs has done many stories about clinton foundation and entanglements, it's taken this scandal to bring it in. >> what's new here is you have inner circle of hillary clinton, private e-mails, hacked e-mails we never should have seen, nonetheless, criticizing her and people around her and her husband, including chelsea clinton. you wrote, unseemly money chase is repulsive talking about all the dealings around the foundation. doesn't this play into a media clintons skirt ethical rules, obsessed with making money, too close to big donors and all that. >> yes. yes, it does. it's perfectly possible to both
8:12 am
have a view about donald trump's fitness to be president and to have a view about hillary clinton's fitness to be president and to say with all honesty there are aspects of her behavior and character and aspects of bill clinton's behavior and character that are a mark against them. that's my piece in this morning's paper basically argues the best thing for bill clinton to do as first gentleman to do when he first gets there is to fade from the scene. >> kind of hard. write to us about media, "mediabuzz".com. when we come back look how the press is handling controversy over donald trump's female accusers and surrogates pushing back. later, a leading voice for each county, kellyanne conway who runs trump campaign and mark cuban, a hillary clinton supporter. all finished.

8:16 am
continue to report on the women accusing donald trump of sexual misconduct. a couple more this week, 11 or 12. he continues to call them liars and attack press coverage. is this still a big story? it has come up in interviews over time. >> he should continue to get asked about it. it's clear the fbi story has pushed it to the back pages. >> something covered by every media outlet on the planet. length y and testy exchange between megyn kelaghagyn kelly, speaker newt gingrich. >> if trump is a sexual predator. >> you cannot say that. i'm sick and tired of people
8:17 am
like you using language that's inflammatory that's not true. >> excuse me, mr. speaker, you have no idea whether it's true or not. what we know is that there are at least -- >> nets do you. >> i'm not taking a position on it, unlike you. >> go back to tapes of your show recently. you are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy. >> me? really? >> that's what i get out of watching you tonight. >> you know what, mr. speaker, i'm not fascinated by sex but i am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we're getting in the oval office. >> and it went on. your thoughts on that exchange. >> i thought she handled it remarkably well. i think there are lots of other anchors who might not have handled it so well, who might have gotten flustered, angered and she proved again why she's one of the most influential anchors of the election cycle. >> how about newt gingrich. >> i covered his presidential
8:18 am
race in 2011 and 2012. newt gingrich certainly knows how to make news. i thought this was an interesting way to go about it considering what took him out of politics. he certainly did make news. >> gingrich was there as a trump supporter and made it very personal. he went on to dare megyn kelly to say bill clinton was a sexual pred kerr. >> she would not do it. >> her response was nor is she saying donald trump is a sexual predator. >> yes, she did. she used language -- >> kelly, the question began with if, if what these women are saying is true. i don't think you should say one is, one isn't, she's saying she covered it. i interrupted you. go ahead. >> i don't think meeting ingyn
8:19 am
looked goo or newt gingrich, especially when he was wagging his finger. it was megyn kelly shopping for a new job. that's why she took on newt gingrich. >> why not doing the best she can when she was personally attacked by a guest. >> it could very well be that. people from the right side of things, trump supporters thinks she has new network contract negotiations going on. >> if meetigyn kelly is shoppin for a new job -- >> it's a good thing. >> strong, an interview one person overwrought, out of control, wagging his finger and the other person was birl in control and trying to stick to the facts and stick to what, as you pointed out accurately she actually said. >> newt gingrich is a passionate guy. we remember from 2012 he doesn't think about mainstream media,
8:20 am
partially in that campaign. amazing to me how much coverage this got. just to finish up on this, let's turn to this and get a brief response from each of you. a week ago, race is over, who is in hillary's cabinet. has the journalistic mind-set on this now reset in light of this fbi inquiry, erin? >> i think it has slightly. at least for a couple of days. i think reporters did take it seriously, okay, we have a race again. >> kelly. >> polls are tightening, we have a race again. nbc poll within one, it was 12 last week. >> i think we're all learning it's not over until it's over especially in this soap opera campaign. >> yogi berra counts. i said it certainly looks like an uphill climb, but let's not be in the prediction business. >> great to see you all, ruth, kelly, erin, thanks for joining

donald trump did a round of interviews venturing beyond fox news a couple turned testy, one was not. "good morning america" george stephanopoulos brought up suing the women that accused him of sexual misconduct. >> this was out of blue, made up, probably by the clinton campaign. >> do you have any evidence of that? >> well, many of their stories have already been debunked. many of the stories have already been debunked. >> in the "people" magazine story they brought forward six -- >> why didn't she bring up the story years ago. >> she was afraid. >> she was afraid to write it? she would have gotten pulitzer prize, give me a break. >> pressing him on blanket dismissal and trump, as usual, pushed back hard.
8:26 am
dan ark bash asked why taking time away from the campaign trail to plug the opening of the d.c. hotel. >> people say you're taking time out of swing states to go do this. you say -- >> for you to ask me that question is actually very insulting. hillary clinton does one stop and goes home and sleeps, yet you'll ask me that question. i think it's a very rude question to be honest with you. >> duly, it's kind of a bogus issue, trump did a lot of interviews in washington but the question was asked in a fair way. a different approach mark halperin of bloomberg news and msnbc, who was, shall we say, kinder and gentler. >> did it feel differently? people reacting a different tone talking about the candidacy. >> i love they say that. >> you've redefined how candidates talk about polls. some you're winning, a new poll in florida. what's the general sense of where you are in the balancing ground states, florida, ohio. >> i think we will soon be winning new hampshire. we're going up there. >> new polls actually closer.
8:27 am
>> mark halperin is a good journalist and i know he has to maintain access to trump but that was soft. shark tank star mark cuban, why he turned against fellow interview. kellyanne conway on candidate, media, hillary clinton and, of course, the new fbi probe. remember when you said men are superior drivers? yeah... yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands.
8:30 am
the presidential race taking another surprise turn this weekend. let's go to trump tower in new york where joining us kellyanne conway donald trump's campaign manager. kellyanne, welcome. >> hi. >> donald trump had been going around saying fbi investigation of hillary clinton was rigged as early as friday morning, the fbi should be ashamed. i know this is a separate inquiry but campaign's view of james comey and his decision making suddenly seems favorable. >> the fact it's a separate investigation is key here. in july, jim comey went out and
8:31 am
gave this rousing indictment of hillary clinton and how reckless and careless he was, yet said he would not prosecute. two days later under oath to congress, howie, he said that he basically undercut his own conclusion and then undercut hillary clinton's own words. when he was asked under oath, he said there was not one device, 13, multiple devices. yes, it is true there was classified security information contained in e-mails on her private serve are. he undercut his conclusion and her words. this investigation is separate. i could argue had comey sat on this information he would have been impacting the election and we can't have that. >> well, but is it possible, since even the fbi, according to reports, doesn't know what these e-mails are, hasn't reviewed the e-mails on the devices of huma abedin and anthony weiner, this could turn out to be nothing. would you acknowledge that? >> it's possible. so what? in other words, what we're reminded of is the cloud of corruption that always follows
8:32 am
hillary clinton. we're having this entire conversation about a renewed fbi investigation because hillary clinton did what she always does, put hillary first. she put hillary first above national security, above the safety of americans and she could put this all to rest right now, she could call into your show right now, and say i just talked to huma abedin and here is what's in the e-mails. they won't do that. they won't make any comment about humouma and what could possibly be in those e-mails. she probably knows more than what we do. >> hillary clinton has not commented -- >> instead they are attacking jim comey. they are attacking his reputation, his veracity. i thought the show filled with smart people did a terrible job trying to defend the strategy of taking down jim comey and demanding he expedite his investigation so we can see everything right away. >> let me get to this.
8:33 am
donald trump is saying if he's elected he will reopen original fbi investigation of hillary clinton and said during the debate if he was president, she would be in jail. now, a lot of people -- some people i should say, sympathetic to donald trump, saying democracy of presidential candidate shouldn't be vowing to prosecute his opponent. >> well, jim comey went ahead and did what donald trump said he would do, reopen fbi investigation. >> technically not reopening, separate inquiry. >> fine. here we are. still, we can never get the stench of clintons off of that. what donald trump said, he believes there was criminal wrongdoing. he knows anybody else the military guy who took pictures inside submarine facing a year in jail, certainly general james cartwright faces five years in prison and $250,000 fine for lying to the fbi one time confirming information to "new
8:34 am
york times" reporters, trying to protect national security and this guy faces jail time. we know this is about a separate set of rules for hillary clinton and the rest of us. >> you criticized media coverage of donald trump. there's been an avalanche of media coverage. >> unprecedented. >> do you agree with your boss that many mainstream journalists are dishonest and corrupt. >> i think wikileaks, some individuals, certainly not most or all, that some are definitely in active collusion and cooperation with the clinton campaign. you can't have a press in that regard where you literally have print journalists, howie, saying, hey, if there's any problem with the article i'm about to file, if you liked to add a little more or subtract some, feel free to do it. you can't have that. i'd like to do a really nice profile of hillary clinton, she'll look great in it. that's not journalism, advocacy
8:35 am
and collusion. >> the collusion description is fair. some is coziness i've written about and talked about. same thing about polls. donald trump talking about phony polls. correct me if i'm wrong, i don't think you think polls are phony and i wonder if you've asked him to stop saying that. >> some are wrong. new voters, cross-over voters. relying on sample, intention to vote, not giving people a comfortable out, would be clinton voters, a comfortable out to admit they may not feel very excited and engaged at this election cycle because of who is at the top of the ticket. when you do look at the poll like abc "washington post" poll, which one week ago showed us down 12 points and now shows us down one point. all those who enthusiastically embrace abc "washington post"
8:36 am
will have to live with it now, it shows us one point behind. they are trying to figure out how to do that. i think what donald trump is saying, something i've been saying months and months under a hail of criticism by the way and people like ed rendell saying the same thing, there's an undercover trump voter. these polls are probably undercounting his vote because of the momentum and enthusiasm and engagement. the idea, i've seen in press reports, howie, we'll see we know there are 15,000 people in this rally, make waiting in line up to 18 hours to get in but will they vote? seriously will they vote? eight hours in the rain. you know they will vote. >> fine to criticizes polls, that's different than saying phony. let me get another question here. heavy media coverage of fbi opening this inquiry and in recent days of wikileaks sklours about the inner circle criticizing hillary clinton and clinton foundation, bill clinton, inc. and all that, doesn't that show the press is willing to hold hillary clinton
8:37 am
accountable as well as donald trump. >> it shows they can't ignore breaking news. frankly, even wikileaks it actually wasn't covered on all these front pages until it involved the pay for play with bill clinton, until you saw the words bill clinton, inc., $66 million worth of commercial interest going to him. kimberly strassel calling them grifter in chief. that said, breaking news story. howie, if you look what was covered last week before wikileaks stories broke about bill clinton and before the fbi investigation was revealed, all about how the race is over, path narrowed, path gone. that's disingenuous journalism when we know most of america has yet to vote. we should not rob america of its choice. >> i got up on this set and said don't call it over, folks, two weeks is a long time.
8:38 am
kellyanne conway. that's very much. mark cuban one-time trump pal campaigning for hillary clinton up next. how juan williams became the latest victim of wikileaks. how's it going? hi. today we're gonna be comparing the roll-formed steel bed of the chevy silverado to the aluminum bed of this competitor's truck. awesome. wooooow!! let's see how the aluminum bed of this truck held up. wow holy moly. that's a good size puncture. you hear aluminum now you're gonna to go ew. let's check out the silverado steel bed. you have a couple of dents. i'd expect more dents
8:39 am
8:42 am
>> mark cuban, welcome. >> thanks. thanks for having me. >> you were pals with donald trump, two rich guys, friendly rivals maybe. he had "the apprentice." you started "the benefactor." when did you decide to turn on him. >> i never turned on him early on. we had a rivalry early on, just for yucks. once he decided to run i was positive at the beginning. i thought he was open and objectest. at some point you have to dig in and learn the issues. i told him specifically you've got to understand what you're talking about. that's where he fell short. that's when i wouldn't say turned against him but went in a different direction. >> didn't take your advice. i've heard you say personally, flaunts his wealth, seems likes you resent donald trump. >> i don't want resent donald trump at all. if he was running for anything
8:43 am
other than president i could care less. i thought it was important to reflect what i thought about him. >> you'll have to admit, i know you're for hillary clinton, we'll get into that in a second. have you to admit media coverage of donald trump is pretty negative. >> that's of his own making, isn't it? if you're going to say the things he says, make the flippant comments he made, you're going to get covered. all he had to do because shut up nine out of ten times and the coverage would be different, it's something he's not capable of doing. >> you don't detect in the media establishment there is a certain hostility toward trump? >> no, look, on the way up he was happy to ride the train. he bragged about media coverage. he was excited about it. he loved the live look-ins, live coverage of everything he did during the primaries and early on in the presidential race. it's a two-edged sword.
8:44 am
you know that. we all know that if you're going to love it on the way up, everybody is going to turn on you at some point and you've got to be able to deal with it. >> even on the way up, he was often criticizing dishonest media and singling out news organizations. he punches back. >> the schtick. >> the schtick any politician is entitled to do. i've seen you at all the debates. how did you go emerging from kind of a trump critic to being an open advocate for hillary clinton? >> well, once i kind of decided that donald wasn't qualified to be president, before i endorsed secretary clinton, i had to do my homework. i'm a tech guy. i dug in on the e-mail issues. it was clear to me she dealt with all of her classified documents using hard copy. the fbi reports confirmed that. i dug in, did my own research on the foundation. there have never been any reported evidence of pay to play. i saw that the foundation did good things. once i ticked off the things that were kind of the media
8:45 am
issues, the branding issues that were assigned against her, i then decided to endorse her. >> all right. but it sounds also like your main goal is to stop trump. >> not necessarily. to be clear, i think she'll be a good president. >> many people feel that the mainstream press is in the tank, not the shark tank but in the tank for hillary clinton, at least have been much easier on her. your thoughts? >> first have you to describe what's mainstream press, cable news network with highest ratings or who is mainstream. that aside, i don't think there's any question there are certain reporters that favor hillary and certain reporters that favor donald. some have more visibility than others. to say one is in the tank for the other, i don't see as a platform that you can say mainstream media has got it in for donald and very pro hillary clinton. >> what was your relationship with trump like before this campaign? tell me a little more about the
8:46 am
conversation in which you say you advised him to drill down more on the issues and did he say that he would? tell me a little more about that? >> i'm not going to tell you we're friends. acquaintances at best for the longest time. we really just started talking, when he said he was the best thing to happen to politic, open and honest, he reached out to me. we had some conversations. the majority of interactions were me sending an e-mail to his assistant. his assistant printing them out, him writing a reapply, her scanning it back and sending it to me as an e-mail. we would have a lot of give-and-take. i went on one of the networks and said, look, you know, at this point in time i'm not supporting donald. i think a, b, and c are issues. he reached out to me and said, what happened? i sent him an in-depth e-mail detailing what i just told you. >> interesting. he wanted the owner of the dallas mavericks on his team but it obviously didn't work out.
8:47 am
now, look, this campaign has obviously raised your profile. so in a trumpian kind of way, are you building your brand? having told "washington post" at one point trump paved the way for someone like you for high office are you laying the the groundwork for 2020 here? >> absolutely not. maybe at the beginning that was a possibility. now here we are 10 days or whatever it is prior to the election and it's the exact opposite. i think rather than paving the way for somebody who is a celebrity or a business person or entrepreneur, it's actually had a negative effect now. anybody in my position that would run going forward is going to be compared to donald and that's not a positive association. >> just briefly, is all the political visibility helping to build your personal brand? >> not necessarily. in texas it's not an automatic benefit. so no, i wouldn't say it's about building my personal brand at all. i mean-of- platform.
8:48 am
it's really easy for me to get on media. it's really easy for me to send out a message. i've been apolitical my entire adult life. so if i was really focused on building my brand, i wouldn't idot by associating with politics at all. that would be the worst possible way to do it. you. mark cuban, thank you for joining us. >> thanks, howie. before news of the fbi investigation. after the great donald trump expands his indictment of the media, which are increasingly complaining about trump supporters hurling abusive journalism. that's next.

8:51 am
8:52 am
against. they're against what we represent. like hillary clinton, they look down on the hard-working people of the country. that's what's happened. the media is entitled, condescending and even contemptuous of the people who don't share their elitist views. this is all for money. >> joining us now from new york is joe -- media report r for the hill. to use his word contemptuous. >> absolutely, houie. we saw that cover story in the magazine where trump supporters are put up on the cover story brandishing ar-15s and if he loses, they're going to burn down the house and the country. that's an unfair portrayal. 87% of trump supporters feel that the media is biased against him. here's the compelling part of the poll that's buried a little

bit. by a 4 to 1 margin, 4 to 1, clinton supporters, quote, feel there's more bias against trump than bias in miss favor. so given that this -- both sides see that trump is getting a raw deal in the press, i think it's almost delusional or dishonest to say that trump is engaging in a conspiracy theory to say the press is against him. the argument is contradicted. >> i think it's been to be out of touch with millions of working class americans who were angry and frustrated in the political system and who trump tapped into. this is becoming a major issue, which is anger that trump supporters are showing towards the journalist in the roped off areas at the rallies. t they were always booed. there was a swastika and the word media. is it fair to blame trump for that? >> no, i don't believe it is. remember, that one report with
8:54 am

8:55 am
show -- excuse me, the revelations as far as the document dumps, that show solution, advising of campaigns, giving veto power, sharing stories in advance, this gives the argument that they're biased against a foundation and people see that and say you know what, he does have a point. >> joe conkha, great to see you. the reporter harass the after his phone number showed up on wikileaks. at clorox 2 we've turned removing stains into a science. now pre-treat with clorox 2! watch stains disappear right before your eyes. remove 4 times more stains than detergent alone.
