by that agency to the american public no it's not unlikely and as i say the problem at the new york times as we saw from the reactions of the bosses here not just this reporter has not spoken but the reaction of the new york times p.r. spokesperson and the new york times managing editor that to me is more work almost than what this reporter did which was outrageous enough kind of brings up this interesting relationship because it near reporters oftentimes in order to get the inside scoop they develop these relationships with their source says it should be this professional relationship clearly mazetti has this relationship with an official within the cia want to ask you what is the line between this and unethical behavior how do you keep that relationship and check so you don't while a if the rules of journalistic ethics well clearly when you're leaking information from your newspaper to the agency you're covering that crossed all at the called lines. the problem you're getting at one of the biggest problems in u.s. media that these these reporters sit on these beats for two law whether i

who just wrote his book exploring his recent journey and exploits the one track narrative the new york times tried to push on him and thereby millions of american readers joining me now from our l.a. studio is daniel simpson is a former reporter for the new york times and author of a rough guide to the dark side. thank you so much for joining me daniel you know here you are you get this job as a foreign news correspondent for the new york times. you know dream job right was there a turning turning point for you when you just said you know am i just a paddler for propaganda what was that. well for me i suppose the penny dropped quite quickly i was quite fortunate i joined the times at a time when everything was really quite open and in terms of seeing what was wrong with that institution when i was young and naive an idea idealistic i suppose i thought i was going to be holding people in power to account and it turned out instead that when i joined in two thousand and two new york times was very much engaged in doing exactly what those in power wanted them to do and printing fake intelligence

bias. >> no you have the "new york times" saying there is a liberal bias. have jake taper of mainstream abc news that the media went easy on barack obama four years ago. you have mark hal prirn of "time magazine" saying the media tends to cover the kinds of stories that the obama campaign wants them to cover. you have kirstin powers who is smart open-minded liberal saying there is a double standard and reporters treat democrats betterer than they treat republicans. good news is that all these people are coming out and saying this. that is good. the bad news is, nothing is going to change. >> jon: bias the "new york times"? >> and arthur observing from the belly. liberal beast to say it was a quote hive of like-minded liberal thinking. >> how many papers have a public editor and holds them to it. >> it's think the "new york times" rebuttal, saying we are right, they are liberal.

they are not printed in the pages of the "new york times." you have to go to the web site and go into the instrument that they fielded and dig the data out of there. look, it's not just -- let's not pick on cbs, "new york times," "u.s.a. today" has now run four battleground state polls of 11 states that were won by president obama in 2008 and they are up for grabs this time around. the last poll i believe had president obama 47, 45 in the battleground states. and the headline was isn't this great? well no context was provided. president obamas won those 11 states why over 54% to 45% last time around. >> bill: real quick, the carl rove board where is the race in ohio and florida in your opinion? >> well, toss-up in both states. >> bill: toss-up? it could go either way at this point in history? >> sure. >> bill: all right, mr. rove. we appreciate that next on the run down the governor of ohio john kasich will tell us what's going on in the buckeye state. dick morris and dennis miller warming up in the bullpen. both have provocative things to tel

yes and now the new york times is presenting this as if it's some sort of new thing and an accidental thing whereas we made a film savers versus speculators five years ago where we said this was the intention and sure they enough they. note that the federal reserve bank of america since two thousand and seven has saved itself trillions trillions of dollars since interest rates are now zero and that if they had the same interest rates now as they did in two thousand and seven there were monthly you know their interest rate payments would be twice what it is now what it is to complete fraudulent reporting errors by whoever is making those commas because they haven't saved themselves trillions of dollars and expanded their balance sheet by trillions of dollars it's financial double speak they government has the government has saved itself trillions that's so they've been allowed basically they financed some of the war if they're engaged and as they point out all along as interest rates are cheap which they themselves are engineering they have expanded their debt loads and they're saying

that is from inside of "the new york times." lking about the issue of retirement and whether you are ready for it, "the new york times" says that millions are headed for an insecure retirement. caller: good morning. i resent the fact that social security is called an entitlement. when it is called an entitlement, it makes it seem as though you are getting something for free and really your getting at because of our good graces. people paying into social security, they have paid in for their whole working lives and were promised a certain amount of retirement benefits from social security. the fact that the government has granted it since 1964, i believe, which is when lyndon johnson started its, every president has taken it out as though they were never set aside. they were put into general revenues and spent. it was never put aside, it is the equivalent of meat saving up for an ira and my boss saying the you do not need this right now, i will borrow the money and pay you back, but when he has borrowed all the money from the work

for not even getting 47 of the vote >>krystal, when you look at the polls, and not just the "new york times" poll, the president has a big lead. 10%, "new york times." "the washington post," 8% for the presint. nbc washingnjol, lead. fox news, 7% lead. the columbus dispatch, 5% lead. it's clear that the president is ahead in ohio and no republican has won witho winning the state of ohio. >> if mi romney does not win ohio, he does not win this election. held mathematically, theoretically do it, but he would have to win every other swing state that is also leaning towards obama. if he doesn't win ohio, h doesn't win. and i think when that video came out aboutim talking about the 47% and casting them aside, i think that will be viewed as the pivotal moment in this election, the way that in 2008 mccain's crazed response to the financial crisis was really the pivotal moment. >> so you think this tape is t game changer? >> i do think it's the game changer. but i want to cut mitt romney a little bit of slk. hink t wlm a impossible task for the are republican nominee to please the party se and appe

i loved "the new york times" insanely. i love "the new york times" the way some people love, i don't know, the significant other in their life. i think it is now and has during my lifetime pretty much always been the newspaper of record. now it's not only the country's greatest newspaper, it's the country's greatest newspaper web site which i think is an amazing accomplishment. um, but i think it's a mistake to think that it's all there is to life. um, i started in new york city as a tabloid reporter at "the new york post" when it was owned by a woman named dorothy schiff. and i had the time of my life there. working for a tabloid is so much fun be, and it's forgiving. and the times is unforgiving because of what it is, because of who reads it. um, so i always thought that someday again i would have a life outside the times, and i also believed that most opinion columnists, most pundits stay too long. they stay to the point that readers open the paper in the morning and say, oh, that again. and i never wanted anyone to say,

"wall street journal" interviewed him. >> you're kidding. >> "new york times" times couldn't find him'm curious about our take on this. >> i'm still looking for hard proof that in fact al-qaeda or some terrorist network was behind this. we have individuals who may have been involved. so and also remember, we're not just talking about libya but we are talking about egypt. we know what happened in egypt often was a direct cause relationship with the film that muslims found it offensive. yes, i think the united states government should have been more alert that it took place on 9/11. yes, the government should have had better security, but is it the case the white house is going back to the original statements? i wonder. >> jon: maybe you are confused because the white house has. >> meanwhile, the obama administration has smeared one of our few allies we have which is the libyan government. people of libya appreciate what we did for them couple years ago. and it's a mob, no different in egypt is a disservice to our own long term national interests all to help the president get re-elected

-- from the new york times, a look at how much money mitt romney has on and -- -- on hand -- more details inside the new york times. back to your calls on this congress, called the least productive in a generation by the new york times. john is on the phone from pennsylvania. caller: success should not be measured by how much legislation passes. if you are conservative and republican, you believe in a smaller federal government, meaning less legislation, that would mean it would be more successful. whatever legislation passes is pretty much useless unless the executive decides to enforce the law. for example, immigration. i have yet to see a president, democratic or republican, enforce our laws. and polls showing that romney will lose, that has nothing to do with who will show up to the polls to vote in november. i think a lot of republicans will be energized to go out and first, versus the democrats who collect benefits and do nothing. host: from one of our viewers th-- new york senator chuck schumer yesterday -- [video clip] >> we in the senate s

the foreign policy and the politics of this presidential campaign is ed klein, author of the new york timeseller, the amateur and the new york times bestsellers list for 17 weeks. great to see you. let's start with the spectacle of the white house press secretary. jay carney saying, as making pretty clear. all of these demonstrations of violence and assassinations are not about the obama doctrine, obama policies, or america. what in the world, what is going on here? >> to "the rev. jeremiah right, the chickens are coming home to roost for barack obama. this is a president to win out there to the middle east, apologized for our history there, tried to appease them, showed a lack of strength and resolve in terms of american foreign policy and is reaping the world right now. it was -- lou: it was such a sad and solemn ceremony today. andrews air force base. for americans bodies were returned to this country. but all i kid think at the outset of that ceremony is the president the secretary of state , the president to decided, as this tragic event unfolded to not change his schedule, go out to l

i read "the new york times" real estate section and it's really excellent. city has something as competitive as "the new york times." are there cities where people are just saying listen, zillow is the only game in town? >> in 19 out of the top 20 cities, we're either the largest or second largest real estate website. we're very popular nationwide. we have 35 million monthly people that use us on the web and mobile. if you include yahoo! real estate, the numbers get off the charts in terms of our category leadership. >> now, you did the secondary. your stock does trade. i mentioned the multiple is very high. that's unusual given the amount of competition to be able to have a 63 times mobile. but your growth is such that do you think you can maintain that longer term growth rate that would make it so the multiple is not outrageous? >> we grew revenue 75%. what investors see in zillow is the size of the market. real estate agents collect about $60 billion in commissions and turn around and spend 6 to 10 billion a year in advertising. we still have less than 1%

joining me on the program, lynn sweet, nicholas confessore of "the new york times," msnbc political analyst richard wolffe and "the new york times" magazine editor hugo lindgren. team romney is trying to turn the tables on the president. the governor is highlighting a video from 1998 of then-state senator barack obama talking about redistribution. >> i think the trick is figuring out how to destruction tur government systems that pool resources and, hence, facilitate summary distribution, because i actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody's got a shot. >> now, romney says those old remarks prove the president believes in government more than the private sector. >> this idea of redistribution follows from the idea that if you have a business you didn't build it. someone else did that. he said he believes in redistribution. all right. there are people who believe that you can create a stronger economy and a brighter future if you take from some people and give to other people. now this -- >> on a campaign conference call, rnc chairman rance

what i think is more significant is that "the new york times," "the washington post," it was all on theirront page. nc, abc, cbs all led with it on their evening news. it's a big deal when a candidate for president starts off by saying i'm not going to go after half of the electorate. that's a bfd. >> to quote joe biden. half of the harshest comments came from your sight of the political spectrum. peggy noonan calling it a rolling calamity and david brooks. this is what he had to say on meeting with the press. >> it's not all of it. >> david brooks is moderate by his own zrepgs these days. he used to be conservative but he's a moderate now. i think at some point the romney team and specifically ann romney, decided that the hysterics should stop. listen, in many of the national polls, it's tied. even in these battle states it's a close race and yet the conservative intelligencia inside the beltway is having a meltdown. why is that? they never liked romney to begin with and now they're playing a little bit of i told you so. part of it is the plethora of polls and part of it is romney has le

blog a back to conversations in the great minds of speaking with investigative journalist a new york times best selling author craig unger his new book boss rove inside karl rove secret kingdom of power is due out september fourth let's get back to it craig i'm curious where or what role billionaire ripper murdoch in the fox news is the shane played in the rehabilitation of coral rose well as issues grove and roland if you go back. back to the nixon era roger ailes who of course is a chairman of fox news when he was in the nixon administration he put together a proposal for something called g.o.p. t.v. well now they've got it and if you look at the current campaign at one point there were five contenders for the republican nomination who were paid analyst on fox news and of course a six person was call wrote. so as i was watching this i thought well wow karl rove is wiring two hats he's both a commentator on the one hand the other he is the party boss and i begin to realize no he's not a commentator what you see here is really the behind the scenes fight in the republican party going on on

the only newsworthy thing about this was that it was in the new york times. in know, folks to -- about a decade ago maggie gallagher published a book called the case for marriage. why married people are happier, healthier, better off financially. it has never been more clearly scientifically established that marriage is the best way to raise children and really great for the people who are married, for their finances and for their personal happiness. i'm a social scientist, but if you want to read up on this matter will cards at the university of virginia and the national project has done a lot of work on this. i imagine that these the things you have heard are ready. so, to maximize your happiness and make sure that your future as yet only imaginary children turn out really well. you're all going to rush out and get married. obviously people don't get married for this sort of calculated reasons. even if he did decide to get engaged as soon as possible it would be a little harder in the world today than they used to be because the other side of the kind of pa

we're talking the latest cbs and "new york times" -- right? s" poll with president obama up in every one of the swing states. when we come back i want to ask you about missouri. neil king here as a friend of bill. you are welcome to join the conversation at 866-55-press. >> announcer: heard around the country and seen on current tv. this is the "bill press show." ♪ oh, right. go time! are they contagious? i don't think so.

today let's look at today's "new york times." brooks, the conservative columnist said to paul krugman he's a republican, his headline, thurston howell romney. he's very critical of romney's absolute lack of any concern for other people. this is paul ryan and ayn rand coming together. and then when you tell people that look, it is now a philosophical explanation of why he and ryan are ready to reduce social security and medicare. when you talk about the 47% that's anybody who's living -- whose income is primarily from social security, romney is now dismissing. yeah, i think that helps explain to people and i don't think social security recipients enjoy being described in that way. i think it is going to hurt them as it should. >> eliot: i hope the race is pretty much over. democratic congressman from massachusetts, barney frank. thank you so much for coming on. we'll miss you in the house. maybe you can find a seat and re-up. >> if anybody's proven there's life after elected office, you have. >> eliot: thank you, sir. we'll talk s
