for the hard part of brazil right now the earth lead i think the rocket eatable and one hundred twelve. lead. were never government shows nuclear can safely get ready for the air freedom. the military would like. but in the alone itself they'll get the real headline which none of them are the problem with the mainstream media today is that they're completely disconnected from the viewers and what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. anymore if they want news they go online and read it but we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back in t.v. . you know sometimes you see

a story and it seems so for life complete you think you understand it and then a glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't. charge welcome to the big picture. now if you're a frequent hear of the show you know that comp you're out in force made by the

entertainment industry can be pretty out there right it can seem like the product of so weird so i thought i heard terry in dystopia about lawmakers suing little girls for downloading a song shutting down a website advocating for bills like so we can't even play short music clips on the air without consulting our voyage first let's go back in time for a moment right when ironically these are really an entertainment companies were dealt a blow by the courts and this was nineteen eighty-four of all the years the supreme court ruled the b.c. ours were legal and see that your entertainment executives argued that video would kill all the video star so they sued sony in a bid to crush the v.c.r. and steven croft on behalf of universal and disney argued that sony created a billion dollar industry based entirely on the taking of somebody else's property in this case copyrighted motion pictures each of which represents a huge investment by the copyright owners now fortunately for universal and disney the supreme court didn't buy the argument they went on to profit handsomely off of

the home entertainment industry all those things to hollywood's brilliant legal minds right now a new consumer entertainment technologies at the heart of another legal battle this time for broadcasters so what exactly does it do well take a look at this. a new york based sort of called aereo just launched streaming t.v. service here in new york basically area lets you stream and record but all of the stations that are available free over the year were you know the area of service which is twelve dollars a month only works on the safari browser and i phone and i pads but the company expects to roll it out to other browsers and grow devices sometime soon so it's really straightforward there's a guide to displace the shoes that are currently on and those coming up and you can just tap on the show to watch it all recorded. so bruce keller a lawyer for and b.c. a.b.c. fox c.b.s. and other broadcasters is asking a federal judge in new york to stop aereo because allegedly it causes plaintiffs to

lose control over the dissemination of their copyrighted programming disrupts their relationships with licensed distributors and viewers and the service their right to decide how and on what terms to make available and license content over new internet distribution media that comparable or do you not only does it mimic the arguments put forth by hollywood in one thousand nine hundred four but these broadcasters sort of sound like bad villains. because it's called. star wars now they might not be on the dark side but it is an attack of the legal clones in both cases entertainment giants asked her are asking uncle sam to stop a technology that loosens their grip on the media aerial claims that its tiny antennas are no different from regular ones furthermore broadcasters could actually

benefit from aereo it would allow their advertisements to reach even more consumers but broadcasters contend the aereo should not be allowed to rebroadcast their content for example they charge cable companies for the reproduction of network t.v. shows sometimes they threaten to withhold rights unless cable companies pay more to show reruns so legal experts are between two minds here especially considering the judicial system has recently left wired called ghost a trail of dead startups and you type knology is like napster seat state i v t.v. there's a few aspiring technologies of the supreme court deemed illegal and even when you start a sort of clear legal they could be driven into bankruptcy by all the lawsuits like that your website was now fortunately for aereo supporters and companies backed by former fox executive and media baron barry diller should be able to survive protracted legal battle but unlike the newer star wars movies consumers probably won't end up too disappointed with aereo or it with the aerial case if the ground

casters when innovation typically wins out in the end even with a court take naps for for example record companies may have won the battle but they do lose a war zone after co-founder bill bails out in two thousand rather than focusing on how to distribute music online a took up arms in court systems around the world against various file sharing platforms i tunes fill the void as a result the consumers really want to be able to watch t.v. on their mobile devices and it would be nice to have the option because streaming is sometimes very slow it can get choppy and the option will be available to them eventually it's baffling though even the broadcasters haven't just. the guy out area right as you might say stop to start a lawsuit they must but even if they don't an area is shut down this could be another case of the courts killing off an aspiring young so let me urge the courts remember the spirit of nine hundred eighty four and of the constitution's copyright laws which says that limited times and exclusive rights should be given to

innovators for the purpose of encouraging the quote progress of science and useful arts as we must easier without the courts favoring massive corporate interests. oh here's something you don't hear every day just yesterday shareholders of citi group actually voted no on a fifteen million dollars pay package for the bank's chief executive the compound it now while the vote is binding it was made possible thanks to parts of dodd frank that mandated the public companies have a quote say on pay vote to express their opinions on compensation so we have to ask are we finally seeing some occupy wall street style of motion make its way all of their shareholder echelon's maybe not considering that only two percent of compensation plans are actually voted against last year so unfortunately doesn't look like it's a trend it's not a movement it's just a one off slot in the face of big banking job which makes you wonder why isn't everyone doing it so earlier i took

a change you are most of the young turks and i asked him just that. all right well mike you're part of the story was when i found out that you know doesn't actually mean it like oh yeah we'll take it under advisement of the case are we so you're big hundred eighty five million dollars for tanking our stock forty four percent last year oh yeah ok so oh thank you so much for voting you know now go home right why does it happen in speakers who are incredibly soft on the bankers because they've captured our government it's the most obvious thing in the world you know the obama administration bill dodd frank is. all by god ladies and gentlemen we got a he said you realize afterwards we didn't get anything you can still do whatever the hell they want i want to have to be brought up the part that doesn't actually matter nonbinding go to because that was the other thing that i found baffling you know but i guess we also have to ask because the whole point of this is that

shareholders actually have a say and a company and who's running the company what kind of rewards they get but so then we think of who it is that these shareholders are you know. basically who are these people that are making the vote because it was average joes i think we would see a lot more nos. so you know the funny thing is only the guy who is screwed is that riccio because a lot of these shares or our pension plans like for example one of the people the organizations have voted no was a pension fund in california and those if you see shares going down it's usually patients that hold it right because these guys do a lot of financial shenanigans and the guys who have the hedge funds private equity instead of they make all the money and then whenever there's somebody is going to take a beating go oh you look at all your pension money you said before you write so you know what we had no say in any of this but think on the amazing part of this the shareholders are the owners of the company and if you cared about capitalism you would say obviously the owners should get to decide what they pay their employees

like their c.e.o. i mean but we've now gotten to such a perverse state merica where we don't really have capitalism is progress is like me that are arguing in favor of capitalism and then you've got republicans and sort of saying no no capitalism does no good we can't have free markets you know we need to do no bid contracts etc and we can't have the owners of the kind of companies actually controlling that you know we need to make sure that the c.e.o.'s who are by the way following us a ton of money who political donations are the ones that actually get to decide their own. the ads we're twisted world that we're entering a phase like that's how but i mean the reason that you know we bring all this up q is there unfortunately it seems like the worst thing that's happened to any banking c.e.o.'s cell far is a no go like this right or have any criminal prosecutions you and i spoke about this million times but we have really seen the conversation start to shift at least a little bit in the media from the politicians if we look at the vote on things

like the buffett rule all right this idea of increasing the fairness in our society i was curious where you think that's going to go after november of two thousand and eleven you know how much of this is just campaigning rhetoric and how much of that really stays around election. yeah i think almost none of it. look the republicans you know what you're with them they're going to protect the bankers one hundred percent there's not an iota of doubt about that in fact they'll give them tax cuts right and they'll do regularly thereby making another financial debacle much more likely but when it comes to president obama what does he do you know it's not like there was any tough regulation dodd frank was a joke and it's not like we increase taxes on so you know as i hear you know president obama telling me about how he's going to raise taxes on the rich excuse me if i don't believe it because he had four years to do it and he didn't do it he brought every excuse oh you know i had to do a compromise i had to do a nuclear treaty and you treated it like ninety nine percent of the politicians are

all in favor of that was your compromise though you wanted to remain keep the bush tax cut so i have no faith that any of this is going to get fixed. out well you know i finished it because tim geithner treasury secretary of course was just saying at the end of this year we're really going to see a test of government to see if they're even capable of governing because we have so many tax cuts that are expiring because so many decisions on the budget are going to be need to you know need to be made but bats last i think a critique of what the president's going to have to do and more of you know of course pushing this responsibility on to congress but so do you think that that's even you think that's a farce that they've already proven they can rule the pair are incompetent. well alone and let me decide for him greater for you because when he says a test of our own government what he's saying is it's a test of how much we're going to cut from the middle class and keep the taxes for the rich now why why soon ok because at the end of two thousand and twelve if they

don't do anything actually all the tax cuts expire which would be terrific now look i'm of preschool conservative i want to balance the budget if you want to balance the budget you let all the tax cut expire for the rich for the middle class for everybody ok but they're not going to do that you know to let those tax cuts expire so when he says all we have to be adults and it's a test of government these things the test to make sure that we don't let the tax cuts expire and instead what we do is we cut from the little guys so security medicare medicaid etc so he was the last person you should trust in washington d.c. tim geithner well clearly there aren't all that many people we can trust in washington d.c. but you know another thing you and i have spoken a lot about what about the role the media plays in office i mean you would i find it so frustrating right that nobody has been held accountable and the going on and a lot of the time that you can throw take that to sticks out there and say i know

that you had a couple words to say about erin burnett's and what you call her defense of the rich that i want to hear more about it i mean is that is erin burnett really be bad guy or is a c n n the bad guy that you know that hires there and gives her a show and puts her out there as an unbiased news anchor. yes you know this is definitely not a problem of just erin burnett she just happens to be an easy symbol of that because she takes every opportunity to defend the rich to defend the system to defend the government to defend the pentagon i mean you name an establishment and erin burnett will be out front defending it but it's definitely not just her it's i think c.n.n. is part of the problem too it's not just them it's almost all the mainstream media but c.n.n. is a perfect example of it first of all they will parrot republican talking points as erin burnett did of mitt romney's talking point they said all the buffett rule all the only reasons for forty seven billion dollars a drop in the bucket it's nothing meanwhile the spent days talking about the g.s.a. scandal which is eight hundred thousand dollars now that you see scandals wrong

people should be fired over that but eight hundred thousand dollars is really important but forty seven billion dollars is irrelevant it's a drop in the bucket thus republican propaganda and you'll see c.n.n. repeat that over and over again and in a best case scenario they're neutral to the truth so mitt romney's tax plan is a gigantic benefit to millionaires and billionaires in this country that's not disputable it's his plan you do the math on it it's a matter of numbers as a matter of guys but c.n.n. reported that way though and you say well you know the republicans say this and the democrats say that i don't care what they say tell me what the numbers are and they won't do it because if they showed a q. then you would see that mitt romney basically only represents the top one percent of this country and c.n.n. would consider that not neutral to report those actual statistics and facts yeah the numbers don't lie get me started on this g.s.a. thing crazy on it so you take that forty seven billion dollars how about all of the

corruption all of the race that we see when it comes through contracting our wars abroad to raid but there's eight hundred thousand dollars a person raise it as is whatever and again for passionate about can't thank so much for joining us tonight. we really. sort of cons and i am best to gates like evidence and. helping themselves to have details and. and coming up at happy hour like professor uses the smarts to get out of a traffic ticket and astronaut and i guess you could start studying russian or even explain after the break. good. story. to understand it and. all the part of it and realize that everything. you don't know. is a big. blow

to the calculus i'm lauren mr. but in the alone a cell will get the real headline with nine. the problem with the mainstream media today is that they're completely disconnected from the viewers and for what actually matters for those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. anymore if they want news they go online and read it and we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back to t.v.

. is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. signers i've still time lord as the night it's going to the departments of justice for failing to seek justice that every night on television the airwaves are just heard with shows the focus on crime and punishment right there c.s.i. and c.i.s.

cold case law and order all leading us to believe it's highly little clue of value weighted by an expert which will catch the bad guy and some of the entire case and even reality based television this idea is often reinforced it's something to expect hollywood not a real life at a time. like we put. real job. but the thing is that one of the evidence doesn't lead investigators and prosecutors to the quote real killer one of the forensic testing is wrong and the testimony by experts is exaggerated even worse when the d.o.j. investigation reveals that forensic evidence used to convict hundreds of people was flawed and then on top of all that what if the justice department the very people whose entire job centers around the pursuit of justice fails to inform defendants order lawyers about those flaws leaving potentially innocent people to rot in jail for years that sounds like a hollywood movie starring ashley judd and morgan freeman but unfortunately it is

not is the real story that's been playing out for over a decade according to the washington post the d.o.j. created a task force to look into misconduct at the f.b.i. lab your questions are raised in the ninety's and it turns out that the inquiry lasted nine years and the findings were never released to the public now it did however was the d.o.j. and four of the prosecutors of errors with forensic evidence but they didn't actually bother to tell the defendants or their lawyers and according to the post over two hundred fifty cases were reviewed and it was totally up to the prosecution to deal with the new evidence and over half or so i'm they just kept it to themselves and in some of those cases who lawyers involved didn't even know about the evidence review until they were contacted by the post another case a texas man was executed over a year after the d.o.j. began its review and they found the evidence used to convict him was faulty and this is the first time their forensic evidence and testimony has been questioned it's certainly not the first time we've spoken about it here on the show last year

we spoke to radley balko from the huffington post about bite mark specialist michael west who was caught on tape tampering with evidence that landed a woman in jail with a forty four year sentence and according to balco our justice system just isn't built for looking back. the criminal justice system puts a premium on so now so once you've been from the kid and you can exhaust your fuel it's very very difficult for you to get a case to be reopened in some of the science changes leaderboards you know somebody who claims to be a scientist is leadership or to be a charlatan. the courts are still looked into what we're going to use. but the problem is in science is showing every day the what we thought was airtight evidence was actually just broken mirrors this last fall the urban institute put out a report that showed the d.n.a. evidence cleared think ten percent of the people convicted in twenty years in one nine hundred seventy three and one nine hundred eighty eight virginia even more troubling are the findings from national academy of sciences panel that was

chartered by congress according to their report expert comparisons of everything from hair handwriting bullet marks bite marks human impressions tire prints even bigger print analysis are all subject to human bias and this is after in courts experts testified about the reliability of those practices time and time again so it turns out that there are no effective standards for examiners laboratories or court testimony i mean really just seems like i'll just let anybody be a forensic consultant but oh wait that's right they will take for example the american college of forensic examiners the american college of forensic examiners institute is an independent scientific organization serving professionals across many fields. sounds great right now according to pro publica is only a bartos all it took for her to get this store to pick it from the eighth the f.b.i. was four hundred ninety five dollars and a ninety minute online class and an online test so what's being done now one lawmaker is proposing a bill to create a new office of forensic science in you guessed it the justice department which is

a really troubling thought and i think the worst part about all this is the justice department's defense when it comes to not making sure the defendants knew about the faulty forensics of testimony according to them they quote and that their legal and constitutional obligations by telling the prosecutors wow so far finding our earth finding out of there was faulty evidence that was used possibly putting innocent people behind bars and keeping that to themselves but a part of justice is tonight's top. it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening are two producer jenny churchill and aren't you web producer andrew blake and you guys and it was a lot of blue we actually actually purple it just was yeah looks exactly the same with blue crazy stuck with blue i think your collar going all right well we've got

to get whatever is really making what i can i. do it do it do it there is there is a new trend happening with people that are getting fed up with the t.s.a. and it's not saying you know don't touch my junk they go they take a little further to. the naked man causing quite a stir at the airport in portland oregon calf's a frequent flyer john brennan was protesting the security screening process so they just close and sir nasty things right and i get to go now. like last week a woman make a denver international airport now we have this guy and i think this ok so this might be the next big threat unfortunately this is trend involves people you never want to see naked getting naked in front of you i don't stand by us to make the campaign big enough that you can get like you know what people i think these people need to actually hire hot people to get naked for them and protest at the t.s.a. and then maybe people who are going to need to hide your protest. protest.

and go to the airport and then take off their clothes to successfully materialize this i'm all right i wouldn't exactly be spontaneous or it's really nice in the arab allies you know it's a great idea whatever i put that's part of the point though right i mean if i go if they're getting naked never on like that than ever and if he thinks he has a policy as we like there is. this this dude we were told him to close this book close i would leave and he wouldn't but if he did put his clothes over there just let him on the plane because that would get awesome guy to sit next to you or you hate sitting on airplanes and there's some cool you got a naked guy that would be quite the story that's not i'm. not a guy that i don't want to be sitting well i mean we've seen it we were going to talk about this on last night so she will run out of time is that the former head of the t.s.a. he was head of the t.s.a. for three and a half years and he just wrote this whole piece talking about how you know their

practices are not good and they need to revamp and they're making mistakes and they're focusing on the wrong threats instead of the right threats and so the more people. you know about. ok also yesterday we were talking about what the future might be for space exploration since there was the discoveries last flight and take a look at this local news story where they actually got to talk to an astronaut. but if you think it is shuttle flying over are you excited to see it again. yes you want to be an astronaut when you grow up yes well you know what we've got a real life astronaut right over here if you guys or even understanding astronaut. basically what i. was to learn russian out. space race is dead i'm personally i think that she gave him the wrong advice i

don't think you need to learn russian i think you need to learn business and how to be corruption make tons of money because space is going private let's be honest i'm glad you're going away i just i just don't believe it anyway you know i'm glad she gave him the wrong advice because i don't want that could be an astronaut only as he says like a costume like he probably is like home schooled his mom probably is like ok bill's in this elaborate space ship scene look at a big plane offensive for suggesting that hot people be the ones to get naked don't you just because you are stupid to suggest that homeschooled people shouldn't be i don't know i was rooming at his home school because there's a fancy cars yeah i'm just gonna separate it is that you guys are cut off. by. the show but thanks for joining me this evening and let it or not it's show thanks for doing make sure these go back tomorrow i'll be speaking with pakistani human rights lawyer who's been campaigning on behalf of civilians who've been killed as part of the cia's drone program in the meantime don't forget to become
