the press has secrets. i was struck out money times it was mentioned in the previous panel about protecting sources. keeping it sources secret. society understands that. society recognizes that. in broad terms, there are rules for one secret will be recognized and according to privilege and when they will not. we kind of routinely accept the marital privilege, the attorney- client privilege, the priest- penitent privilege but we have also established rules when those privileges might be overcome for the greater good of the community. just like other elements of the federal government, other communal entities, government need cigarettes to and within the federal government, i don't think it surprises any of you that all three branches claim a right to secrecy. deliberations of courts are secret. congressional markup sessions are secret. the federal reserve keeps secrets of his discussion about the overnight discount rates of as not to affect markets. also out the press has its own brand of secrecy. i was str

press. >> you guys were the inventors of face book. >> jon: a big box office winner hits theaters this week. the social network. >> there was a human tragedy. >> jon: a tragic failure this week from a social network. on the panel this week, writer and fox news contributor judy miller. national review editor rich lawrie. jim pinkerton, fellow, new american foundation and news day columnist elliss henican, i'm jon scott, news watch it on right now. >> this morning, everybody, and welcome to the least suspensable announcement of all time. as almost all of you have reported my chief of staff, rahm emanuel, has informed me that he will be leaving his post today to explore other opportunities gentleman so, off he goes. rahm emanuel, the man who has run the obama white house from the start, bailing from his chief of staff role, headed for chicago and the run for mayor of that city. so it was the worst kept secret in washington. the president alluded to it there, it's secret no more and rahm emanuel

it is the responsibility of the press and the opportunity of the press and human rights groups and legal outfits to draw those conclusions, but iraq, as we can see, was a bloodbath on every corner. the stated aims for born into that war, of improving the human rights situation, improving the real law, did not eventuate, and in terms of raw numbers of people arbitrarily killed people arbitrarily killed, it worsened the situation in iraq. >> is there a microphone? right over here. thank you. >> i'm from munich, germany. your press release stated that the current lake is a pretty good account of the war in iraq without the months between may 2004, and march 2000 -- the months of may 2004, andarch 2000 night. why? >> we do not know. it is important to remember that this material, while the most comprehensive and detailed report ever record -- ever entered into the public record, it is far from complete. it is based on the statements of u.s. soldiers who were often in a position where they have intended to lie, where they have reported on their own activity, and no one says i have unlawfully

i don't always watch meet the press. >> that's not the point. when ross perot in 1992 said you people, speaking at an naacp event in tennessee or someplace, he got murdered for it, whereas now, you know, jerry brown or somebody in this campaign, refers to meg whitman the republican rival as a whore, and now the national organization of women that would have called for the republicans to be fired and crucified. >> and castrated, too. >> and say it was a teachable moment. >> jon: tom brokaw moderated a debate in california. let's play a clip of that and then your reaction. >> we've heard no outrage by you about the use of that kind of language which to many women is equivalent to calling an african-american the n-word. have you been in charge of the investigation of your campaign to find out who was responsible for using that phrase. >> i don't agree with that comparison, number one. and number two, this is a five week old, private conversation. >> oh. >> picked up on cell phone with a garbled transmission, very hard to detect who it is, this is n

it dawned on me the other day, how did things g et so bad between the politicians and the press with some republican candidates denouncing journalists, threatening journalists, and this week having a journalist handcuffed? how is this changing the dynamic of the midterm campaign? and has this political season turned into a tragedy or a farce? we need a theater critic's i for that conversation. plus with jon stewart having landed barack obama as a daily show guest and staging his big washington rally six days from now, is he expanding his portfolio from sharp satirist to political player? this is "reliable sources." juan williams is one of the most prominent african-american commentators out there and one of the most controversial. he's paid for his opinions, but one of those opinions this week prompted national public radio to dump in. i have trouble seeing it as firing offense, but it's no secret that folks at npr didn't like williams' other role as a fox news contributor. so it may be more than a coincidence that juan made his remarks on "the o'reilly factor" where the host was see

it may take press 1, press 7, press 8, but eventually i'll get a person to talk to. is that true of paypal? can i talk to paypal and say i need you to stop those funds? >> it's already true. it's true in every country we operate in. we not only have people who pick up the phone who will understand what the account is, that you're calling about. they will speak your language. know the transaction that you're referring to. they will know the domestic rules in that marketplace. they will be able to help you at that moment on all around the world. 190 countries, if you have any problem with any transaction. and our protection policy for consumers, we call it buyer protection, is equal to what you would get from the banks, from the card companies, all around the world. so that same problem you just described, if you called up and talked to a paypal person, they would immediately take care of that. >> ultimately, the money is coming from somewhere. if you are using that visa card, i would assume you could still use that transaction, even if you use visa. >> you would call

but i think judge fogle is pressing them. think he has in find that he'd like to move california to a one-drug execution. and the reason i say that is he offered mr. brown the option of being executed by a single drug within a very tight deadline without information and the inmate's lawyer said we can't accept that. but i think he saw that as a way around this difficult review of procedures to decide whether they meet standards the u.s. supreme court has upheld three drug executions. it's hard to know exactly what goes on and whether it's constitutional, and he saw that as a way around it. >> $800,000 death chamber they've constructed. >> yes. >> so they constructed the chamber, but they didn't pay attention to the drugs they would need to use? >> it's probably not the only thing they haven't paid attention to. at least according to the inmates' lawyers, the procedures are they made only cosmetic changes to the ones the judge found were really chaotic, no training, no supervision, nobody really knew how to mix the drugs, ther

you know it's bad when the press asks if you'd take a lie detector test. meg whitman didn't tell the truth about not voting or about how long she lived in california. she got caught in insider deals at goldman sachs. she changed her story about physically abusing an employee. she campaigned as tough as nails on immigration knowing her housekeeper of 9 years was undocumented. her tv ads have been condemned as false and misleading. and even her hometown newspaper said meg whitman has demonstrated "a loose relationship with the truth" >>> apparently, the head of bp didn't like the media coverage of the oil spill. in a speech today in london, bp's ceo bob dudley scoffed at those television news graphics during the height of the spill, showing scientist's projections that some of those 172 millions of oil gallons spilled in the gulf might actually loop around florida and then be driven by ocean currents across the atlantic. by the way, as they're trying to get the louisiana fisheries industry back up and running, reports of spilled oil in the waters off of new

we took a huge amount of abuse in the press. i could have said let's try to be like everyone else or let's be different. i convened our team together and said we are going to create a customer bill of rights that no other airline is going to have. we will put in writing what we are doing for our commerce. that is still in effect today. we are the only airline that has a customer bill of rights. washington is trying to impose one on the others, and they refuse to do it i went on the air waves starting with "today" and lerm at night -- literman at night. i apologized to our commerce and said i am sorry, we screwed up. i am not going to let this happen again. we value you, and here is our customer bill of rights, and we have learned from our experience. >> none of this would work in politics. >> i know. we were number three -- and this is what i'm really proud of. business-week magazine did a survey of the top customer service companies in the united states. there wasn't an airline in the top 100, except jetblue was number three. b

he understood the power of the press. there was at this point only the pro-administration vehicle. and he recruited his college roommates, the poet philip renaud too added a critical paper. madison wrote under a pseudonym infernos paper, taking on hamilton and proclaiming the difference between what he claimed were the real friends of the republic and the would-be aristocracy. here again is what makes this book different. madison was a sturdy political operative, not merely a political thinker. >> in 1793, when war between england and france placed americans in one of two camps, there was no middle ground. hamilton wrote preciously of madison and jefferson that they have a womanish attachment to france in the womanish resentment towards england. even more demonstrably than madison, jefferson spelled out who he thought of as their domestic enemy. the armchair speculator, a pompous, in effect to it and the civic species that produce nothing of value. none of commerce who thrived on their association with the british juggernaut and had transferred loyalty to london. jefferson habitual

we had a very tense relationship with the press while i was in office. that was a mistake and partially my own fault. but when i was governor of georgia, we did not ever feel we had to participate in the nightlife of atlanta or washington. that kept us on the outside. tavis: that is the second issue you raised, that you and the first lady did not do the social circuit in d.c., and one of the things you have to do in d.c. is the social circuit. >> i would say that was in retrospect a mistake, but that is our lifestyle. we still live in a town with a total population of 135 people, and 60% are african-american. we live in a tiny place and i still grow peanuts on my farm in georgia. we are not highlife short of people. tavis: does that mean that an outsider cannot govern effectively in washington? >> i think i covered effectively. i do not have doubts about that. i have the benefit when i was in office of having an excellent relationship with the republican party. we had superb bipartisan support and the highest batting average of any president since the se

it's an honor to be here the press club and with a distinguished panel. i'm eager to participate in this evening's discussion. the tea party has its name and inspiration from the american revolution as indeed many political movement since the revolution itself, so claiming the revolution as the ideological inheritance of political movement is part of the american political tradition if you think about battles between jacksonian said and whigs, the union and consider a seat, the integrationist from each of these moments of american history americans have looked at a revolution as an inspiration from martin luther king from a birmingham jail said the boston tea party was the first four of non-violent protests. so you can point to all kinds of political actors across centuries who found inspiration in the revolution, which is something that defines who we are as a people but one of the things that has always been challenged for how americans wrestle with the legacy of the revolution is their something fundamentally on stable if you think about it, about a na

has that given you concern, disillusioned you about a free press? that was 1974, '75. i went into it feeling like we came very close to losing our first amendment rights, and i was grateful that it was in the hands of the press to save it. i felt the press carried a tremendous responsibility and the public trust to get at the truth. and the thing that it had was it-- any good organization is going to work better if it has a check and balance connected to it. the check and balance that kept the ethic in place was the fact that a journalist, to counter their hunger or their desire for glory, had to have two sources that would go on record, verifiable, to the story. they had to research it carefully, check it out. i watched that process with the washington post. now, if you jump now 25 years ahead, i think that's pretty well gone, because when the newspaper-- and this is what leaves me with mixed feelings: that i'm sorry for what dangers i think are now showing up about our media's ability to deliver the truth to the public because of the obsession with celebrity. you can

about press freedom, in every countrthe press has had certain attitus d behiors. in tkey there's a serious structure of media. all the regional media, newspapers. so i would like to very clearly state that as a former businessman... by the way, i also worked as the chamber of commerce of industrial. i am coming from the civil society. so there is noestrictions on media, on press. so the press, which ever it wants, can write very clearly >> rose: so anyone in turkey can criticize the prime minister without fear of challenge? >> ( translated ): okay. i wish you would read the newspapers and t.v.s. for inance, there are some... evenn the south,n t south, for stan, very clearl blisd and they are vy comfortable aut saying all this. turkey is very open about that. turkey at least exined the press anwhen you dohat you will very clrly see that for example even about family members i mean there might be in some for instance. and also many of them... there are also some wrong allegations which do not reflect the truth, for instance, the prime minister. inany even that i saw

"i don't think it's a real pressing issue." you also said drug enforcement should be funded at the state level. but what about operation united? a federal program which spent $16 million over the last two years to fight drug abuse in the state of kentucky. would you shut that down? >> as a physician, and a father of three teenage boys, i've always been concerned about drug abuse. when they quoted me, it was actually a misquote. because what i actually said i don't think people is as concerned where the funding comes from. they want the problem tackled. there is always a debate how much is federal and how much is state. all i said is like most problems i think the more local control, the better. the more the decisions are made by sheriff and local communities the better chance we have of fixing the problem. >> chris: kentucky congressman rogers set up operation unite. $16 million. the last two years. the drug problem in kentucky. are you going to say no, i don't want that money? >> no, but what i would say, here is the problem.

attorney's office, we had a press office. they were in charge of issuing press releases. those press releases extolled the wonderful work we did as prosecutors and it was always headed by the name of the current u.s. attorney who was looking to become a judge. the public defender's office needs to understand, it seems to me, that they are competing in a more complicated world when it comes to the media that existed 10 years ago. if they were a corporation, public defender's offices would have to except they have an image problem. they have a great product that the public does not understand. it seems to me one question we could ask is how can we help the public defender's office get that message out? and it matters. this is not for ego gratification. it matters because you are publicly funded. when it comes down to your budgets, the public defender's office has got to rely on the same funding sources as the presence, prosecutors offices, the courts. as stakeholders at the public trough, it seems to me, through some sort of martyr complex -- which i respect -- that somehow
