after a reply from jeffrey sinclair about confirming the woman's hotness, he replied more than an hourter with an apology for his delay in responding. at this point i'm going to let you read what he wrote in the words of the "washington post." i'm not going to read that on tv. so the post learned of this e-mail through a freedom of information request. but the army redacted it so heavily when they responded that it wasn't clear at all what had happened. the whole reason they were able to get what you just read on screen is because they got the unredacted more rather disgusting version of the e-mail from some other source, not from the army. that's what they published in the paper today. there was an army investigation of what happened there with the congressman and the colonels and the two generals he was reporting to. ultimately the colonel became a brigadier general. although he was found to have failed to demonstrate exemplary conduct by the inspector general, he still got his job. he still is a general and still works for the chief of staff. another in the air force was found by th

the sinclair merger is still sitting out there. should that be handled at the bureau level? >> you prejudge the procedural decision. i will say as a general matter to the extent of the sinclair transaction or any transaction that involves a novel question or a challenging question, the commissioner will ultimately be accountable for it. >> a report attacked the sharing arrangements that are involved in those transactions. there is a way to get around the fcc rules. do you think the commission to change those rules or are they going to change soon? >> i personally do not believe that the agreements pose a threat to consumers or are anti-competitive. they have significant competitive value especially at smaller but market -- at smaller market. wichita,t cities like a shared agreement might be the best way for a news operation to consolidate some of the upfront costs of maintaining an operation and focusing on what they really want to cover which is local news. we have seen evidence of it. companies to pour money into a doppler radar, for example, were a company was able to sav

the sinclair merger is still sitting out there. should that be handled at the bureau level or by the full commission? >> guest: again, i don't want to prejudge the procedural disposition of a particular case that's pending, but as a general matter, to the extent that the sinclair transaction or any transaction involves a novel question or challenging policy questions that the commission is ultimately going to be accountable for, the better course is for it to be handled at the full commission level. >> free press released a big report attacking the sharing arrangements that are involved in all three of those transactions. basically, they're a way to get around the fcc rules, a work around. do you think the commission should change those rules, or are they going to change soon? >> guest: i personally do not believe that joint sales agreements and shared services agreements per se pose a threat to consumers or are otherwise anticompetitive. to the contrary, i think they have significant pro-competitive value especially in smaller mar

scott fitzgerald and sinclair lewis exploded in the 1920s. so they are richly rewarded by the society that they despise. i think it has to do with the following. intellectuals, however much attention they get they think they deserve more. the reason they deserve more as you get eaglet. miss him threats like acid on their skin. their vote is no more important than anyone else's vote. if you go back to john stuart mill his admiration for the french revolution of 1831 and 1848 did not stand up well however mel's call for multiple balance for people like himself that they shouldn't be compelled to vote like ordinary people. this is a long-standing and it's an insoluble problem until you flip it around talking about information. it's not a risible question. a lot of voters and i'm thinking of my hometown of new york. i hope people realize de blazio was elected by a record vote turnout. the turnout hadn't been that low since before women could vote. so it's not as if there was this great a fusion of enthusiasm. but the city now is entirely in the h

. >> reporter: albert sinclair spent 36 hours, a full day and a half, stranded on a highway going nowhere. >> i've never been stranded like that before. >> reporter: georgia governor nathan diehl apologized again to everyone stuck in their cars or schools because of the storm. >> i think we did not respond fast enough. >> reporter: hundreds of flights in and out of atlanta were canceled thursday and city schools will remain closed friday. technically it's not another snow day but a recovery day. >> i get the feeling everybody there just needs to take a deep breath. it's been a long week for them. i talked to a reporter today and i said we feel your pain. we are thinking about you guys. >> notice all the snow is almost gone. >> i like how you get fired up when they try to blame the weather people. >> i looked back again and looked at my tweets today i sent out. really the warnings were there. they weren't heeded, plain and simple. >> they acknowledged that today. >> 24 hours in advance from houston to norfolk. we showed it to you on the air. it's crazy. i've never seen warnings from housto

[inaudible question] >> hello, i am dean sinclair from alexandria.early on we talked today, you talked about the fact that journalists are very much a liberal and political individuals who have 80% or more systems. and is there something that just draws liberal people to that kind of profession. is there something in the hiring mechanism and is there something that is going on that makes it so liberal? >> that is a very good question. i think it goes back in part to the education system that we talked about. most journalists are being trained in the liberal and secular academies of this country. and so that is likely going to be what they produce. and we have a lot of the statistics in the press. but gallup has been doing this since the 1960s and that, while it has trailed off a little bit in recent years, it has stayed around 40%. have you attended a religious service, they asked, in the last seven days, which is a very specific behavioral questions very close to 40% of americans answered yes to that question. when journalists are asked the same que

. >> dean sinclair from alexandria, virginia. early on in your talk today you talked about the fact that journalists are very much liberal in their political leanings, maybe 80 or more. is there something in the system that just draws, you know, liberal people to that kind of profession? is there something in the hiring mechanism? what's going on there that makes it so overwhelmingly liberal? >> yeah. well, that's a really good question. i think it goes back in part to the education system that we talked about. most journalists are being trained in the liberal, secular academies of this country. so that's likely going to be what they produce. i should go back, and we have a lot of these statistics in "prodigal press," but gallup has been doing a survey since the 1940s about church attendance in america. and that attendance, while it moves up and down and has trailed off in recent years, has stayed around 40 president. when gallup asks the question have you attended a religious service in the last seven days, close to 40% of ameri
