the. problem. is that. disconnected from the

actually matters. if they want they. were trying to take those stories that people actually care about them. speaking russian channel it's kind of like. a confrontational stance when it comes to us. now if you're a frequent hear of the show you know that copyright in force made by the

entertainment industry can be pretty out there right it can seem like the product of the weird sigh fiacre tarion dystopia and the lawmakers suing little girls for god in the song shutting down web sites advocating for bills like so we can even play short music lives on the air without consulting our lawyers 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 years the supreme court ruled the d.c. ours were legal and see that your entertainment executives argued that video would kill 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 copyright of motion pictures each of which represents a huge investment by the copyright owners now fortunately for universal and dismay the supreme court didn't buy the argument they want on

a profit handsomely off of the home entertainment industry although thanks to hollywood's brilliant legal minds right now a new consumer entertainment technologies at the heart of another legal battle this time brought by broadcasters so what exactly does it do let's take a look at this. your very start up called aereo just launched streaming t.v. service here in new york basically area lets you stream and record all of the stations that are available for free over the year right now the area 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 android devices sometime soon so it's really straight forward if you guys misplaced the shoes that are currently on there and those coming up and you can just tap on the show to watch it will record it. 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. those who. star wars now they might be on the dark side but it is an attack of the legal clones in both cases entertainment giants aster 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 area should not be allowed to broadcast 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 what wired called quote a trail of dead start ups and new technologies like napster seat state id t.v. there's a few aspiring technologies that the supreme court deemed illegal and even when you start of severe clear legal they could be driven into bankruptcy by all the lawsuits like if it website now fortunately for aereo supporters the company is backed by former fox executive and media baron barry diller so should be able to survive retracted legal battle but unlike the newer star wars movies consumers probably won't end up too disappointed with aereo or it with burial case is the

broadcasters when innovation typically wins out in the end even with the court siding against it take now for for example record companies may have won the battle but they do lose the war is now three co-founder bill bales pointed 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 so 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 to get choppy and the option will be available to them eventually it's baffling though even the grad casters have just. buyout area right as yoda might say stop to start a lawsuit they must but even if they don't and aereo 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 one thousand nine hundred 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 because progress of science and useful arts which we must easier without the courts favoring massive corporate interests. well 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 all the vote is binding it was made possible thanks to part of valor 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 in the face to big banking got which makes you wonder why isn't everyone doing it so earlier i could have

a change you are host of the young turks and i asked him just that. right well mine here part of the story was when i found out. you know doesn't actually mean anything but i go you will take it under advisement of the case are we so you're big hundred people live million dollars who are 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 speeches were incredibly soft on the bankers because they captured our government it's the most obvious thing in the world who says you know the obama administration bill dodd frank isn't going. to live. by god ladies and gentlemen we've got oh he said you realize afterwards we didn't get any big you can still do whatever the hell they want i want to have the right of the party has actually battered non-binding vote because that was the other thing that i found that feeling you know but i guess we'll have to ask because the whole

point of this is that shareholders actually have a say in the 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 if it was average joes i think we would see a lot more nose. so you know the funny thing is only the guy who is screwed is that riccio because a lot of these shares or are question points 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 the patients that hold it right because these guys do a lot of financial shenanigans and the guys who are good hedge funds private equity instead of they make all the money and then whenever there's somebody is going to take a beating on our we look at all your pension money said for you right so you know we had no say in any of this but think about the amazing part of this the shareholders are the owners of the company now if you cared about capitalism you

would see 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 statement america where we don't really have councils of its progress is like me that are arguing in favor of capitalism and then you've got republicans exerting saying no no capitalism does no good we can't have free markets you know we need you no bid contracts etc and we can't have the owners of the kind of companies actually controlling you know we need to be sure that the c.e.o.'s who are by the way following us a ton of money through political donations are the ones that actually get to decide their own credit yeah it's a weird twist in a world that we're in these guys have but i mean the reason that you know we bring all of this up to you is that unfortunately it seems like the worst thing that's what happened to any banking c.e.o.'s cell far is a no go like this right a hundred in criminal prosecutions you and i was talking about this a 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 post-election. yeah i think almost none of it. look the republicans you know what you're with them they're going to take a very close one hundred percent there's not an iota of doubt about that in fact they'll give them tax cuts and they'll do you regularly they're behind me here and other financial debacle much more likely but when it comes to president obama what does he do you know we it's not like there was any tough regulation dodd frank was a joke and some ideas we increase taxes on so you know as i hear you know president obama telling me about how he's going to resize on the rich excuse me if i don't believe it because he had a four years to do it and he didn't do it he found every excuse oh you know i had to do a compromise to do a nuclear treaty

a nuclear treaty did 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 cuts 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 that's the 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't rule that there are incompetent. and well illuminate let me decide for 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 for 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 this school conservative i want to balance the budget if you want to balance the budget you let all the tax cuts expire for the rich for the middle class for everybody ok but they're not going to you know to let those tax cuts expire so when he says oh we have to be adults and it's a test of government these things that has to make sure that we don't let the tax cuts expire and instead what we do is we cut from the middle class 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 but you know another thing you and i was talking a lot about what about the role of the media plays in office i mean you would i find it so frustrating right that nobody has been held accountable. for this is going on and a lot of the time not even for a fake to kiss think the out there and so i know that you had

a couple words to say about erin burnett's and what you call her defense of the rich so i want to hear more about it i mean is that is erin burnett really the bad guy or is the c n n the bad guy you know the ayers or 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 a 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 need c.n.n. is part of the problem 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 pocket rules it only raises for forty seven billion dollars the 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 but it's 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 fact a 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 it to you then you would see that mitt romney basically only represents the top one percent of this country and c.n.n. would consider that non-neutral to report those actual statistics and facts yeah the numbers don't lie get me started on this g.s.a. having gone crazy on it so you talk about forty seven billion dollars how about all

of the corruption all of the race that we see when it comes to contracting our wars abroad to you right but eight hundred thousand dollars a person raise it as is whatever it's getting so passionate about jane thanks so much for joining us tonight. we really thank you. arends evidents and. himself for having failed and. and coming up in happy hour professor uses his smarts to get out of a traffic ticket and want to be an astronaut. you can start studying russian or even a plane after the great. story . think you understand it. and realize there. is a big. mystery

. good. luck in the loan itself you'll get the real headlines with none of 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 but we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back to.

our 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. time for side suicide award and tonight it's going through the department of justice for failing to seek justice every night on television the airwaves are just

heard with the 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 evaluated by an expert which will catch the bad guys so all the entire case and even reality based television this idea is often reinforced it's something to expect hollywood not a real life for the time. like the plague. but the thing is that what is 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 what the d.o.j. investigation reveals that the 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 failed to inform defendants or their 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 isn't playing out for over a decade who are into the washington post the d.o.j. created the task force to look into misconduct at the f.b.i. lab questions were 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. informed 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 and fifty cases were reviewed and it was totally up to the prosecution to deal with the new evidence and over half the time they just kept it to themselves down some of those cases the lawyers involved didn't even know about the evidence review until they were contacted by the post in 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 isn't the first time the forensic evidence and testimony has been questioned and 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 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 convicted in your queue it becomes very very careful or for you to get a case. in some of the science changes later or if somebody claims to be a scientist later shown to be a charlatan. because you know we're looking to go back and look. at the problem is new science is showing every day the what we thought was airtight evidence was actually just smoke and mirrors just last fall the urban institute put out a report that showed the d.n.a. evidence cleared think the percent of the people convicted between the years in one nine hundred seventy three and one nine hundred eighty eight even more troubling are the findings from national academy of sciences panel that was chartered by

congress according to the report expert comparisons of everything from hair handwriting bullet marks bite marks to impressions tire prints even fingerprint 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 oh just let anybody be a forensic consultant and 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. it sounds great right now according to protocol because it leaves bartos all it took for her to get this far to pick it from the eight 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 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 or testimony according to them they quote met their legal and constitutional obligations by telling the prosecutors wow so far finding out earth by any other there was false the evidence that was used possibly putting innocent people behind bars and then keeping that to themselves the bargain of justice is tonight's told time warner. it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening archie producer jenny churchill and artie web producer and you're blake i eyes and it was a love blue we actually actually purple it yeah it looks exactly the same for a little crazy stuff like blue i think you're color blind all right well we've got

to figure out how to raise the right i can i. do it do it do it there is there is a new trend happening with people who 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 calais. the naked man causing quite a stir at the airport and portland oregon cops a frequent flyer john brennan was protesting the security screening process so they just closed and sir nasty things right and i got to go now. like last week a woman make it a denver international airport now we have this guy and i think this like i said this might be the next big trend yeah unfortunately this trend involves people you never want to see naked getting naked in front of you i don't understand why those who make the campaign big enough that you can get like you know what people i think people need to actually hire hot people to get naked for them in protest at the t.s.a.

and then maybe people who are going to see your protest. you need. to get naked and go to the airport they take off their clothes didn't successfully materialize this. wouldn't exactly be spontaneous or it was an arab allies yeah it's a great idea whatever i put but that's kind of the point though right i mean if i go if they're getting naked never on like that than ever and going to be fine keep it t.s.a. balls these we like this this this this dude they were told him to put clothes on like just put clothes on and leave and he wouldn't but if you did to disclose i would have just let him on the plane because that would have it all some 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. that's not i like. that guy that i don't want to be sitting well i mean at least you know we were going to talk about this on last night's show 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 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 could more people. talk about. ok also yesterday we were talking about what the future might be for space exploration since that was the discoveries last flight and take on take a look at this local news story where they actually got to talk to an astronaut. what did you think of the 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 any advice for underscoring astronaut. well basically what. it was to learn russian out. space race is dead i mean i personally 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 progress let's be honest i'm glad. i just i just don't believe it anyway you know i'm glad he gave the wrong advice because i don't know if it could be. well this is as like the costume like he's probably like home schooled his mom probably is. ok builds in this elaborate space ships to go look at a big plane sensitive for suggesting that hot people be the ones that make you don't you just wish you were stupid to suggest school people shouldn't be i don't know i was zooming in to his home school because it's a fancy car so yeah i'm just going to step right into the desert cut off the radio . show thanks for joining me this evening let's dip in and i think the show they've . made for these go back tomorrow i'll be speaking with the pakistani human rights lawyer who's been campaigning on behalf of civilians who've been killed as part of the cia's phone program and meantime don't forget to become
