used as a recruiting tool as well as propaganda for war now n.b.c. touts the show as quote paying homage to the men and women that serve in the u.s. armed forces and our first responder is jody how do you feel about that description i think it's a lie. if you go and watch the show i forced myself to watch one hour of the two hours last night because i felt like if i was going to be talking against it i should at least see it i really think that the producers and directors should hang their heads in shame i think that these celebrities if that's what they are. who decided to be in this show really look at what they're doing should hang their heads in shame general wesley clark who ran for president of the united states and knows what real war is is actually hosting this joe the the most exciting if you will if you like war and violence moments are the trailer if you go into the show itself it's profoundly boring it takes forever they keep doing it over and over for team so you know there's the soldiers coupled with the many celebrities and they go thr

but reality television show starring outraged critics say n.b.c.'s new military themed show stars are. stripes glorifies war it's a beauty last night and has a cast of people you can loosely defined as stars they're paired with former members of the armed forces and go through military training and missions similar to what real legs soldiers go through here's a look at the trailer. these are americans on the ground maybe seal the delta force a group or a. beat celebrity try to deal. with the. there's no going back no brainer. this is. monday. well it's being sold as a way to honor our troops but many don't see it that way including a group of nine nobel peace prize winners that say the show is trying to portray war as amusing and entertaining they go as far as to call a war propaganda and they wrote a letter to the chairman of n.b.c. calling for the show's cancellation here's a quote states as people who have seen too many faces of armed conflict and violence and who have worked for decades to try to stop these seemingly unending march toward the in

covering civilian deaths his report was cancelled three hours before it was due to be aired on n.b.c. after which john. it was. hard johnson welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us today thank you well first of all your latest documentary is called in times square eighty days of egypt's unfinished revolution well first of all why unfinished. if you show the revolution isn't finished or are you left the movie unfinished. it takes a long time to make a revolution actually maybe it doesn't take so long to win one and so in egypt's case it took eighteen days for the people to become victorious but at the end it is a finished revolution of the people of victoria you know the american revolution is sort of not finished yet we have lots of things in the united states that we're still working on and it's been two hundred fifty years and we haven't gotten it right i think revolutions getting abroad all the time if you got a revolution going on you know and you know it's it was interesting and i've been all over the world in all sorts of conflicts and sometimes i was the only

relationship the twitter head with n.b.c. well now users are starting to see that they're going to be much more distrustful and it would take a large scale insurgency but leaving them that would be like telling americans you don't drive anymore i mean we might you know protest high gas prices we're not going to drive so they don't have to worry about losing the users they have to worry about losing the users trust and that's much worse really i think it's a really interesting point that you bring up that i hadn't thought about just sort of this relationship of twitter with n.b.c. for lympics coverage purpose but the fact that in this case physically they notified n.b.c. whereas most of the other cases they're notified by the federal government they want information on certainly i think we're going to see some changes in the. christopher chambers journalism professor at georgetown university always good to have you here and for those of you who use twitter and facebook and all of the other social media something to keep in min

for one picks coverage purpose but the fact that in this case there's italy they notified n.b.c. whereas most of the other cases they're notified by the federal gov't if they want information on certainly i think we're going to see some changes in the. rest of our chambers journalism professor at georgetown university always good to have you here as well the capital account is up next on our let's check in with more let's start to see what's on the agenda today hey there laura. we've made it through half the reason for us we made it there half the week which means we're about halfway through this central banking extravaganza week which is rife with expectations of whether central bankers will put their hands into the economy and acts so the federal reserve came out today with its interest rate decision no change there so now all eyes are on the e.c.b. and there are high expectations around it because you may recall last week mario draghi made a very bold claim saying the e.c.b. is behind the euro we are vowing to support it and it will work this is at the same time when manufactu

lympics coverage purpose but the fact that in this case physically they notified n.b.c. right whereas most of the other cases they are notified by the federal government they want information on certainly i think we're going to see some changes in the. because of her chambers journalism professor at georgetown university always good to have you here. so how do you run our genes underwater and drowning quickly millions of americans are facing that prospect when it comes to their mortgages so why isn't the federal government helping hold on to that issue in just a moment. a lot of american power continues. might actually be time revolution. or drink or starbucks or the surprising him really you. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through it's already been made can you trust no one. is your view with the global machinery see where we had a state controlled capital score fashion when nobody dares to ask we do our t. question morning. is the state run english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an

so the independent guy adams was joining a chorus of others criticizing n.b.c. for the olympics coverage and adams gave out the corporate email address of an executive at n.b.c. and b c which partnered with twitter for the olympics was notified by twitter and then suspended adam's twitter account after being told he violated twitter rules the case was covered extensively by many publications including forbes magazine and i spoke earlier with one of the journalists who wrote about it forbes dot com contributor michael humphrey we first discussed the cost of being a twitter user well the coast being the user as opposed to being a customer is your have as much say when we're users of we're not paying for the birds were voting. for the policies that twitter and so we just have to live with. you know there was a big protest and i do think that made a difference in the end of the day. but you know we have to get used to this this new model we're used to having to say about things that we are in the things that we use but when you are a user. is is basically up to the

is a local n.b.c. affiliate station in utah on friday the station by the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints the mormons announced that it would not air n.b.c.'s new comedy the new normal this fall show features a woman who becomes a surrogate mother for a gay couple in announcing the decision k s l t v said that for our brand this program simply feels inappropriate on several dimensions especially during family viewing time but as ellen barkin the star of the show pointed out on twitter over the weekend that work is fine with our erin law and order s v u which is premised on rape murder so it's ok to show gun violence and sexual assault on t.v. but embracing marriage equality in equal rights that's inappropriate that is very very ugly. coming up thanks to an absurd new ruling your employer can force you to campaign for and support your favorite politician even someone like todd akin and they could do this without you having the slightest say in the matter why i'll explain it and i still it. wo

ok so the board of directors against a suicide jihadi move the board of directors which people from n.b.c. for example they threw the company out of the bus because if in fact you can forecast future box office you destroy the entire marketing business in hollywood which is actually all there is in hollywood because it's a business purely on perception in american business and the matter what the industry is it's all based on perception tied to the consumer there's no actual value being created so yeah you could use google to trade algorithms to predict future consumer trends but if it actually started to generate genuinely. actionable data then they would outlaw as they did with the box office futures contract or graeme dott they they made a completely out law or they will manipulate it if it's showing data that goes against a suicide banking mentality they will manipulate it that's why libraries manipulate it that's why the bureau of labor statistics on the employment numbers are manipulated that's why c.p.i. is manipulated that's why g.d.p. is manipulated because otherwise it would sho

comcast, the cable company and owner of n.b.c. beat earnings estimates by three cents per share. the company credited more internet and telephone phone service subscribers. time warner shares climbed 1.2%, up to a new 52 week high. comcast saw a nice pop, up more than 3%, also at a 52 week high. meantime, mastercard saw some selling pressure after its quarterly revenues were less than expected. shares fell 2.2% as volume more than doubled. facebook continues seeing heavy trading in its stock as shares continue sinking. today's 3.8% drop takes facebook to its lowest price since going public in may at $38. it has now lost 45% since then. another social media stock, game maker zynga, also continues to see its share price fall to new lows. zynga dropped 4.8% as it reshuffles its senior executives after disappointing quarterly results. four of the five most actively traded e.t.f.'s were lower. the lone exception was the emerging markets fund, up 0.2%. and that's tonight's "market focus." >> tom: the federal reserve's low interest rate policy has led to historically low borrowing costs

no n.b.c. no n.p.r. no c.n.n. no fox news nobody was there you know and the best explanation i have is like denial you know let me be it's such a huge story that no one can really believe this is really happening so we can't cover it but i do think that what we're seeing right now and i predicted this would happen in november of last year is that like why the violent crackdown against occupy why the violent criminalization of dissent why the bullying of journalists now. i think it's linked to what we're seeing in the news right now of this huge fraud being uncovered in the banking sector h.s.b.c. you know billions of dollars in fraud bank of america wells fargo barclays bank of england fraud for fraud not like marginal fraud but clearly systemic right and i just wrote a piece about this for the guardian you know clearly system system . that the e-mails are monitored their phone calls are monitored i mean it's just a complete sense of big brother is a hair's breadth away i think i am frightened seeing countries lik

have no confirmation but it looks like the device was planted on the one of the cars parked over the n.b.c. the cylinder each from where i am at the moment i can see burned carcasses of several cars including a fuel truck now the facility where the explosion took place is closed off to the general public so whoever carried out the blast was probably working for these very facilities. now in addition to the army these planes houses also some sort of government institution and the building where these government offices are located also cost wire now the firefighters are working on the scene and it looks like they have the fire under control and. even though the explosion took place at these closed army facility i don't think it was i don't think that the army was the primary target as we just said it's the closest. i came to the un observers i mean they've been on patrols before there were some clashes in this area but never before they were ranged from that bad by these very very powerful explosion and ohno that their mandate is expiring in some four days and just a few days ago when they
