farhad stepped in at the wall street journal. but who would replace david poeg at the times? believe it or not. farhad again, he left to join "the new york times," the two biggest openings in his field and takes both of them. as one person on twitter said, all of your tech columns belong to farhad. this must have been an incredibly difficult decision to leave a very great position for another very great position. >> yeah, i described it on linked in where i wrote about this, as choosing between too delicious pieces of cake. you can't really choose wrong in this but i've been a fan of the "new york times" for forever, been getting it since i was a teenager and really wanted to work there. >> i've known you a while, you're a really nice guy. >> thanks. >> i can imagine the pressure of walking into the editor at the wall street journal and saying, i've worked here what, six weeks -- >> yeah. >> tell me about that. that must have been awful. >> it was awful. and particularly because the short time i worked there i really grew to love those people and they are doing a great job. t

wall street journal." i talked to reporters and say we kind of got a break on the main streament media left-wing because the editorial page is so conservative it gives us cover. but he, you know, he, for example, in 2007 announced he would make news corp. carbon neutral. and he would have the five-year deadline do that. they beat the deadline. on the other hand, on twitter he makes clear he has no patience for government intervention to force certain kind of taxation or other policies that mandate reduction. he believes in it. said there's been violent swings in the climate in australia thaw you can't simply ascribe to chance. and yet his news organization, if you read his australian papers. they absolutely blood sugarrened the centrist left of center labor government for taking some steps to do more than just sort of embrace corporate voluntary action. you know, there were some carbon emissions policy seen as relatively -- some taxation and consumption issues. similar to how we dealt with it two decade ag

the short nature of the war on poverty and "wall street journal" had a big column today, 50 year war upon university. what are we talking about, reagan, nixon. >> you got it right. six years. from 1964 to 1970. in those six years the official poverty rate was cut nearly in half. 40%. something like that. it was working. it was working for a while. then vietnam ate up a lot of the money. then there was some corruption and some problems. then the backlash set in. then reagan came along. there's been no 50 year war on poverty. >> when you have something, you don't recognize how important it is. when you're denied it. like right to choice. then it's a big issue. social security is the greatest anti-poverty program this

it clearly will offend everybody and the "wall street journal" thought that, you know, let's hear whate wants to really put it out there. >> there's something strange going on in san francisco because perkins isn't the only wealthy san franciscan to enrage the middle class. the ceo of angel hack wrote on his facebook page about his homeless on a quote here. here's what he wrote. the difference is in other cosmopolitan cities the lower part of society keep to themselves. they sell small trinkets, big coyly and stay quiet and generally stay out of your way. they realize it's a privilege to be in the civilized part of town and view themselves as guests. and that's okay. he came back and apologized for writing that but not all wealthy people are this clueless. what should we make of what's going on in san francisco right now? >> san francisco a bit of tom perkins it's a bit of a bubble itself. you have all of these technology companies with their own very strong cultures. i did write a piece about hewlett-packard when it was in the midst of its proxy fight back in 2001 and there was agony

and a wall street journal poll says 68% think the u.s. has been stagnant or worse off since the president took office. so what can we expect to hear from the president tonight? ed henry knows a little bit about that and he joins us from the white house. give us the summary. >> well, dana, what's interesting, as you'll remember from your final year or two of the bush administration, dealing with the end of the administration, where we use that dreaded phrase, small ball, where there's not a lot of new ideas, not a lot of major initiatives. you're kind of running out the

that's fine, but i think the "wall street journal" opinion piece was good. do this a lot especially people in the press. they say all of these countries are so noble and all of these things. the way they treat their tray fors, they treat people -- their traitors they treat people and divulge secrets. it is like, america is so horrible, come on, please. >> and they won't give up their spying because we think it is distasteful. the "wall street journal" piece says the snodenistas -- that was the question i was going to ask you where the origin came from. >> i am a built -- bit of a word smith. >> have you been a word smith for years now. theythey are paranoid by the american government, but they are strangely trusting of other governments like the russians. somehow they are not going to do the same thing. >> strangely forgiving of the world's tyrants. it is amazing. yes, he should not get the nobel peace prize. what has he done but start wars among fox news contributors? >> true. that is true. it has turned fox news employees on on each other. >> although i ha

welcome to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser last week the heritage foundation and the wall street journal presented their annual list of economic freedom for the seventh year running the u.s. has dropped down that list now residing a twelfth most free cutting me in the world while the us used to be number one it is now behind ireland at number two on yes the same ireland which was a vassal state of the troika until mid december when it gained at least an appearance of economic sovereignty which makes you wonder what exactly their idea of economic freedom is max this is important to know because of course that was has been happening this past week and they're trying to deliver us economic freedom i think what we're going to see from them and what heritage foundation wall street journal when they looked at ireland what they see is this what nigel for you can't any piece said we all run by big business big banks and i'm sure with mr brace so big bureaucrats so true it's fascinating how far down this team league table the u.s. has plummeted it's still a country that's actually dropping the ot

nbc/"wall street journal" polling shows 37% of americans say our state of the union is divided.ting and broken. just 3% believe the union is strong. 33% say they are pessimistic and worried about the remaining three years of president obama's second term. just 16% say they are optimistic and confident. down eight points from the same time last year. 63% say they we are currently on the wrong track, that we are on the wrong track, also up from last year. just 28% are satisfied with the economy. 71% are dissatisfied. when asked who the economy works best for, 81% say the wealthy and 53% say men. only 22% said the economy works for the middle class. all of those factors contributed to president obama's 43% approval rating. it is the third straight poll by nbc and the "the wall street journal" with the president's disapproval rating was over 50%. things are not better on capitol hill. this poll marks the sixth conservative time at least 80% of americans had a negative view of congress. now 45% say they would like to see democrats take control of congress during this year's midterm e

then, someone leaked the plan to the wall street journal. you were furious.t in the book, you were cold as ice. >> i was very, very distressed, but, as i also say in the book, when i get very angry, i get very quiet. >> did you scold them? did you talk down to them? >> i didn't talk down to them, but i was plain in saying, "this is unacceptable behavior." a line had been crossed, and when no one would fess up, i said, "we have to have an investigation." >> a leak investigation? >> yeah, a leak investigation, because nobody would admit that they had talked to the press. >> she says her investigation didn't use pretexting or any other controversial tactics, but it didn't find the original leaker, though tom perkins admitted he was a second source who confirmed the story for the wall street journal. at the next board meeting, carly says she intended to clear the air and move forward, but when she showed up, she was fired, effective immediately, and pattie dunn was elected chairman of the board. >> in the book, you said, "the board did not have the courage to fac

it was the order of the "wall street journal." -- he knew the owner of the "wall street journal."ut he didn't think the president was in charge of that. the fed was also young. he looked into it. there is a record of him looking into it. charles merrill who founded merrill lynch and he went to see him and they talked about it and coolidge was terrified because he was so conservative and he knew what a crash was. but he didn't site as a -- see it as the president's role and negotiate -- neither did merrill. that would be a state authority. another factor in that period was what fed policy was and we know the great fed leader died. i do not blame this on coolidge in the least. and one of the important factors you always want to look at is it was growth in the 1920's real? was it all champagne and a lie? the 1920's growth was real. most of it was real. the stock market went too high but it was not a lie of a decade. that is something we learned in school and this is an effort to do that revision. 1920's.e the true >> when did you first become interested in calvin coolidge? >> in forg

let me play for you the response to our very negative wall street journal/nbc wall street journal pollse head winds are obvious. this is the way dennis mcdonough and valerie jarrett responded. >> the president doesn't go home every day worried about poll numbers. >> as you know the president never paid attention to the poll numbers. >> david, the president doesn't pay attention to the polls? >> well, i think that was absolutely the right answer because if you sit there in the white house and you get consumed by poll numbers, then you can get paralyzed by the kind of noise and chatter and you don't get stuff done. i would recommend that they embrace that attitude. this is not -- we tend to get into the points scoring, who's up and who's down. what the american people want is a sense that they are real practical solutions to be achieved. and that's the challenge for him tonight, in an environment that people know there's been tremendous amount of gridlock. can he propose a real practical answers so the number one issue on their minds, which is how do you make the economy work for all amer

mosberg and kara swisher, great tech columnists, they have corporate backing for leaving the "wall street journal" and put in a lot of years to help "the journal" and drive its traffic, is this the new game you build up your own brand recognition and s sayonara? >> old media needs new media stars and brands. just because someone is worth millions of dollars to the "wall street journal" or to "the washington post" it doesn't mean they can create a multimillion-dollar cop on their own. i've seen this over and over again, "trek crunch" by company at "business week" i've lived it myself. you can't confuse yourself with the platform. the best journalist with the best brand the magic is them plus a platform and when you break that magic up, sometimes it turns into a bigger business, and sometimes it doesn't. but the main thing i think journalists underestimate is time. it takes five to ten years to build a big media company. i don't a care if you're jesus christ with 8 million twitter followers. >> there's the sound bite everybody is going to use. for example, blogger andrew sullivanwent out on his own

just because someone is worth millions to the "wall street journal" or to the "washington post" doesn't they can create a multimillion dollar company on their own. i have seen it over and over again whether it is my country, at business week, i have lived it myself you cannot confuse yourself with the platform. the best journalists with the best brand, the magic is them plus a platform, and when you break it ups sometimes it turns into a bigger business and sometimes it doesn't. what journalists underestimate is time, it takes 5 to 10 years to build a media economy, i don't care if you are jesus christ with eight million twitter followers. >> there is the soundbite. andrew sullivan want on his own and asked the readers to give him money and raised $800,000 the first year but silver became such a big traffic driver at not that went to espn and a new media venture funded by the founder of ebay, are there a lot of rich guy whose want to invest in media. >> thank god. back in the days of luce and graham you had to have big family money to absorb losses for 10 years to build a media company.

"the wall street journal," the partner of this report, the thing of "the journal" for the last 75 years as been free minds, markets, and people. this report fits so well with that slogan of "the wall street journal." i wanted to connect the dots, what is going on today with some of the sobering results of this report, and let me start by talking about what is going on right now with the u.s. economy. you all know that this is actually the fifth year of the economic recovery. it officially began in june 2009. this is 4 1/2 years into the recovery. this is but a recovery that for millions of americans, this has been no recovery at all. it has been at half pace. we have created half the number of jobs we normally get during the recovery time. the growth rate has been less than half of the normal pace. we saw the numbers coming out friday about the lousy job numbers. they were reinforcing this. also incomes have stagnated, which is unusual. we are in the fifth year of recovery, and the average middle-class family in america today has $2000 less purchasing power than they did when the recove

"wall street journal" polls reveal 63% of americans think the country is headed many the wrong direction. tracie potts joins us live from washington. the president impose into the speech with one of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. >> it's the seventh straight poll where his approval rating has been under water as he lays out his plan for this year. >> reporter: the white house is reaching out online encouraging people o interact during the state of the union and preparing a q&a all day tomorrow. the theme of the speech? >> tomorrow night it's time to restore. >> reporter: officials say president obama will urge to raise the minimum wage but will focus on what he can do without congress. >> success in washington of a president of any party should not be measured alone by how many bills congress passes. >> reporter: retirement accounts, promises from businesses to hire the long-term unemployed. >> that's precisely what is needed many my state where the middle class is really shrinking. >> let's be careful here that we don't create a situation where congress is an afterthough

here to sort through the president's claims our "wall street journal" columnist 1k3* political by reeditor and columnist mary anastasia o'grady. he thinks marijuana should be legalized. how do you read it? >> that's a correct interpretation. but i think even people who favor de criminalization or legalization of marijuana want a stigma attached to its use for no other reason than to discourage children from using the drug. when the president comes out and says essentially it is no big deal, it hurts that effort. secondly and more importantly, the president swore to uphold the law. not some of the laws or only those that are convenient for him, all of the laws. if this president wants to encourage civil disobedience which he is doing here -- >> you think he went that far with it? >> when you say it is no big deal, that's essentially what he is doing. he should leave office and do so as a private citizen the way martin luther king did. as president his role is to uphold the law. >> mary, let me elaborate on that. there is a law called the control substance effect. it applies to all of the st

>>> a "wall street journal" reporter disappears and a week later, investigators are still baffled. now, some reports are suggesting his disappearance may have to do with his coverage of the oil industry. >>> a big debut on "saturday night live." sasheer zamata joins the show tonight as the first african-american woman on the cast in six years. we have our own female comedians to give a preview and some friendly advice. >>> hey, good morning to you. i hope that saturday has been good to you so far. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. pleasure to be with you. 10:00 on the east coast. 7:00 on the west coast. you're in "cnn newsroom." >>> let's talk about california's new enemy. apparently it's mother nature. >> governor jerry brown yesterday declared that the state is facing a drought of historic proportions. it's fueling wildfires and hurting the state's massive agriculture industry. it really feeds our entire nation. >> kyung lah has more from glendora. good morning to you. >> reporter: if you want to know about the power, the danger of california's drought, just look at this

. >> reporter: the "the wall street journal" reports this is in response to the disastrous obamacaret a time when president obama is trying to convince americans that the government can run health care and other big projects, and that obamacare can make health care more efficient and cheaper. but not everybody believes that a big tech agency is the way to go. >> i'm not one to think that the way to fix the bureaucratic agency is to hire more bureaucracy. >> the government is having difficult attracting the best and brightest in the tech sector and therefore could be falling behind on what it can do with the technology. one spokesperson said we don't have enough people inside of government to make good, sound technology decisions. this gap between the public sector and private sector has really affected their knowledge. the obama administration is apparently considering other tech fixes, as well, including having government tech specialists rotate through private sector companies. also, streamlining the federal hiring process so that it doesn't take months and months to fill one job,

"the wall street journal" pointed out he has worked aggressively to portray hi governorship in a timef national polarization. here is what chris christie told "the wall street journal" ceo counsel in washington in november. >> nobody in this city talks to each other any more or if they dough they don't speak to each other civilly and don't develop relationships and don't develop a sense of trust between each other. >> i'll just quickly say three additional things. one is that christie -- you've talked about taking responsibility. there's a real test of this right now, wildstein is supposed to go before a legislative hearing today. rather than going forward and giving his testimony, his lawyer is suing to try to stop -- to quash the subpoena this morning in trenton. there is a -- judge is going to rule this morning whether or not he is supposed to step forward. rather than christie going out and saying from the interest of full disclosure, mr. wildstein, you should go toward, wildstein is trying to evade going forward. nobody is defending chris christie. democrats are attacking and him

and now, the new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows it is just as bad. president's approval rating is underwater, plus stuck with a congress that is viewed even worse. the majority of americans think the nation is on the wrong track and is worse or stagnant under obama. they're also fed up with the state of our economy. we will get into political implications of tonight's speech in a little bit with former dnc chair howard dean, but one thing that's sure to be in tonight's address is education. last year, president obama pushed hard for early childhood education for every single child in america. >> every dollar we invest in high-quality early childhood education can save more than $7 later on by boosting graduation rates, reducing teen pregnancy, even reducing violent crime. we know this works. so let's do what works and make sure none of our children start the race of life already behind. let's give our kids that chance. [ applause ] >> but the president did not get universal pre-k. in fact, of all of the asks that he laid out last year, he only got tw
