he's going to talk to rupert murdoch and you're not going to stop him. you can do is insist that career government employees throughout the agencies deal with fox news related matters. and i have to say the sexual harassment allegations are just the tip of the iceberg. the real issue for rupert murdoch is expanding the number of tv stations he owns. and of course donald trump wants that. if he's asking to give him positive coverage going into the 2018-2020 elections, that's the really big issue. we're at a very, very difficult situation in the united states. we're not supposed to have some other media outlet linked to the united states government that dominates the air waves, but we could be going in that direction if we're not careful. >> bill, i only have a couple of seconds, but talk to me quickly about the optics here and the authenticity now of the government? >> well, that's a big question going forward. i mean, if they're sending their message out through basically a propaganda channel that's in bed with them, you know, it's another mark against t

>> i don't think rupert murdoch, as you pointed out in your direction, donald trump is not murdoch'sdidate. in fact he was about, you know, 16 or 17 candidates deep into who murdoch might have wanted. but murdoch is very pragmatic. what you're seeing there david capitaled some of the rhetorical contradictions in here. but what you're seeing here is murdoch is this 86-year-old chief executive who doesn't have a lot of new tricks. but he's got a trick that he performed awfully well. if you look at him in australia, in great britain, he's always managed to forge extremely close ties with prime ministers. with the top person in charge. because it's helped him win regulatory decisions. it's helped him get off the hook in trouble in these countries. it's helped him get great coups financially from government. in this instance you have rupert murdoch and donald trump unified by common interests. it's helped propel fox's ratings. but right now you've got that subtle inquiry here in the southern district of new york and that is a hublg deal. i mean that's basically -- >> are we making too big

great difference between what chelsea manning did on one hand, and what assange, wikileaks, and rupert murdochid on the other hand. the risk that was facing assange, if he was to be extradited to sweden, sweden and america had a kind of witness exchange agreement, which would have meant he could have been extradited or shifted from sweden to america without the formality of extradition. that would put him at great risk of being treated in the way chelsea manning was being treated and that risk remains depending on what donald trump's mood is from day to day. so, i think, unfortunately, for his own safety, assange will have to stay in the ecuadorian embassy, but the key to the whole tthe british government, and particular, metropolitan police to say, enough has an enough. he has been seven years in detention without being charged with anything at all. sarah: let me ask you about these charges, mr. burnside. sweden dropped them because they said there was no hope they would be able to arrest him, not because they don't believe he is guilty. one of the women who accused him called this decision t
