howard, were you striz surprised by the scant cover at cbs and abc. >> i was surprised at scott pelley'see sentences on cbs was so quick if you sneezed you miss it. no story on something everybody around the globe has been talking about. utter blind spot by some in the media plenty of exceptions to criticizing obama, especially over a move that even the white house can't defend in the midst was a bone-headed. >> we know why the "new york times" they see muslims as victims of the jihad. not the west. they see muslims as victim of it. we know that "the washington post," i don't know, i don't read them enough to really know what they are doing. but cbs news is a very interesting study. they are making their name for hard news coverage. that's what they do in the morning. you get more hard news coverage on cbs morning program than do you on "the today show" and good morning america combined. pelley is not there because is he a glamour pus like muir. he is there for cosmetics. not pelley, is he -- he is a hard news guy. pelley is a managing editor. pelley does 17 seconds? pelley knows that's

this was a time when there were only three broadcast networks cbs, abc and nbc. it was far easier to monitor the news that it is today. pbs was the fourth network introduced by lyndon johnson through legislation he signed in 1967, creating not only pbs but national public radio. i mentioned earlier that this suite has not changed since president johnson died in 1973. the rug i will show you in what is the bathroom is illustrative of that. you can see the neon green anybody who is over 45 years of age will recognize that as the same color of the rugs in their den. as was a very popular color at the time, so you see we haven't changed things in the suite. >> if we could, that's the one thing i want. i would like to have as near a reproduction, the architectural requirements. it doesn't have to be 18 feet high or 14 or 38 feet long, it might have a card on the door saying this is not an exact reproduction i would like for it to be that they get an impression of here is where the president work. that's what they come to see. >> here we are in lbj's oval office. most

this generation, abc, nbc, cbs, just doesn't mean anything. i take anywhere from six to eight showers a day. i am not exaggerating. i'm not a germophobe. it has nothing to do with germs. ♪ >> you were born in new york city. what kind of kid were you? what did you want to be? >> i wanted to be what i am. >> this was always your dream? >> it was. my parents started taking me to see plays starting from when i was very little. i loved the sound of dialogue. it sounded like music to me and i wanted to imitate that sound. i came to new york to start my life as a struggling writer. i was paying the bills a hundred different ways. i was bartending. i was driving a cab. i was dressing up as a moose in times square. there was a now canceled soap opera that i was acting on from time to time. i was doing all of that while i was writing my first play which was "a few good men" on cocktail napkins behind the bar where i was working. i would stuff them in my pocket, come home, dump them out and type them up on a machine that was just called the macintosh at

so just coincidentally, i ran into a reporter for abc cbs and the wall street journal, as luck wouldave it. when i got to salt lake city there were lots of cameras. there was a guy that was broadcasting live on a radio station and we were having this weird conversation and i am trying to find a car to take me to the governor's house and i get overwhelmed by people asking for me signing baseballs and pieces of paper. it turns out this was the first day of the sundance film festival and all of these autograph hounds were there waiting for movie stars to show up. as luck would have it. literally, flocked by 50 people. it became a like a filini movie appeared had a nice conversation with mitt. >> that's great. what's your own vision for our country? >> i believe it as i said that we are on the verge of restoring american greatness. not committing to the over reach of this administration but creating a more opt michtic country and focus on the fact that you can have growth right now. um, we are growing pretty good. but there are a lot of people being left behind. if you are born poor in a

to get coverage of the role it will play in the high-speed rail on all of the local networks, abc, nbc, cbs and fox. we're very proud of that. had some good features in print. our [skao*-uft/] director named deal maker of the year, a significant honor and a great way to draw positive attention to the project by the san francisco examiner. and an additional feature on abc 7 news, as well as a feature in 7x7 magazine. so we're going to now talk about some of our plans for 2015 and i will start with community outreach. of course we'll continue with all of the efforts i just described, focused on the work that will occur this year, largely in the areas of steel construction and bus ramp

neither cbs, abc, or nbc. president obama was deprived of a huge primetime at yens. okay, most underreported story of 2014. pat? >> john, we have all seen the beheadings on television, but what is underreported is hundreds of thousands, if not millions of christians and syria and iraq and across the middle east are facing persecution, martyrdom and something approaching genocide. >> the republican-lead house committee that declared the administration did not commit any mall seasons in the way it handled the attacks in bengazze. under reported, it was on page 4814. >> many thousands kimed in the central african republican. no one has really heard about it or cares except the french to their credit ( >> mark? >> i think the u.s. energy boom has been underreported. we have had a huge break- through in the technology of fracking. it has changed the whole world and the economy the whole world. it's changed our dependence on foreign oil and our alliances in terms of their value to us. it's weakened the soviet union, russia to an extraordinary degree. i don't think we have

bill, why won't you admit that the reason abc and cbs news won't report negative things about obama ishem orders not to. i'm sure you know all about him. i do indeed but i'm unaware the radical leftist soros is now calling shots at the two networks. fascinating. please send me more information on this. new york, mr. o, can you explain why there has been so little news coverage of the slaughter in africa by the muslim group boko haram. sure, there are no reporters in the african back waters. these areas are essentially free fire zones, far too dangerous for journalists to injure. so we know there are atrocities but specifics almost impossible to verify. houston, texas. bill, you were rude and arrogant to judge napolitano. you do not know the constitution better than he does. you should apologize. lancaster, california, bill i wish to extend kudos the way you stood up to the judge concerning anti-terror drone strikes. you are correct. awesome job. and the debate rolls on. memphis, tennessee. mr. o, you were out of line asking laura ingraham who she supports among the three republicans yo

liz: this is a great news for writers, now they have more than abc, nbc, cbs and fox.zon did well with fringegy type of shows. >> i love them both. tell people, look what you're doing in your everyday life think about where you might want to invest. me, for example, i'm a big tv watcher. i love tv. nancy and i dvr everything and watch. i have not turned on the tv at night in the last week or so because i have been absorbed with watching "house of cards" on netflix on my ipad. can the networks keep up? yes, if they embrace this new kind of a la carte age if you will. liz: amazing that hbo is now sort of, old school, right? couldn't believe "veep" didn't win. they said that is yesterday. we'll see. gary b. smith, steve len lieb and our own adam shapiro. good stuff there, right? >>> talk about setting a lofty goal, listen to this one. nine months ago, do you remember this? we bought two men with a company behind 52 business. the startup aimed to create 52 twist just one year. how are they doing? they are back on fox business to tell us if they're on track to meet their go

he argued that the big three networks of the time, abc, nbc, cbs, were biased against the administration policies, in particular in regards to a recent vietnam speech about the president. all three broadcast mixes remarks live. >> the purpose of my remarks tonight is to focus your attention on this little group of men who not only enjoy a right of instant rebuttal to every presidential address, the more important wield a free hand in selecting, presenting, and interpreting the great issues in our nation. >> leadership in the senate changed hands in next, we look january 6. at the historical role of the senate majority leader and its four former leaders, robert byrd, harold baker, and we hear from donald richie and mitch mcconnell. a republican from kentucky. >> donald richie, thank you for being with us. the senate majority leader is not a position in the constitution. how did the job evolve?

howie kurts the mainstream network, cbs abc, been covering that story? story tonight, you'll be shocked to hear megyn. they did not cover it yesterday when josh earnest at the white house did very much what admiral kirby did earlier saying it's not a terror organization because it's only in afghanistan. but most incredibly the day before abc's world news along with the other newscasts did not cover it when its own reporter started this whole controversy by e lisilliciting -- >> he asked eric schultz about it and said the taliban's an armed insurgency. those have not covered the white house saying the taliban is not a terror group and they have not covered the fact that this taliban general has returned to terror or attempted to? they haven't covered that last night or tonight? >> not that i have seen. some people out there may be saying, well this is just a linguistic debate, but words matter in journalism as well as diplomacy. like when al jazeera bans the word terrorist saying we should call them fighters or militants. we're talking about mass murderer

what is the rest of the paid for media say every day -- abc, nbc cbs, c-span?look at the people that call into your show the last few days. threatening anarchy in the streets! shouldn't you call home and security when people threatened to bring harm against other americans? what is the revolution, huh? can you explain that to me? tell me! host: michigan, john. what do you think? caller: good morning. when you deal with freedom of speech that we have in the u.s. and other democratic countries you need to use common sense and religion is one thing you need to leave alone because knocking somebody's religious figures and their beliefs is only going to upset thaem. they have had their mind made up of what they want to believe and you are not going to change their minds. because they fear condemnation by their god and not receiving their rewards in the afterlife if they don't hold true to their beliefs. especially when you're dealing with a religion that believes martyrdom is the best thing they can do, then they have no fear of dying for their cause. that's my comm

cbs passed three times, i went to abc, they bought it. it aid on abc.tings an next morning the peoe at viacom woke up a said why did we get beat so bad last night and they fod out ey had this big, exclusive interview with tavis smile and they said, well, doest he rk for us? he's onbet, our network. how did this happen? and they started trying to unravel the story and eventually i got fired r doing an interview on abc which cbs had turned dn three times. but mo importantly, my contract with bet allowed me to do independent productions. so i was never in violatioof my contract. but somebody had to be theall gu a so i got fed. and missouri yahoo! anlou -- ya angelou as i disss in "my journey wh maya," there's a wonderful story of the booof the nighthen she calls me when the news breaks that i got fred by bet. this wntime magazine,he w rk tes tavis smiley gets fired by bet, e most public thing i've ever done exceptritique barack obama, know? it was in all of the news media everywhere. so maya angelou calls me one night, and we talk about it. she knew that i

it was cronkite on cbs and huntley brinkley on nbc. abc was not yet a competitor. there were no satellites and very few correspondents who really knew how to do the work how to go out and package a story as well as report a story. work with the camera team, write the script, put it on a pan am flight and send it back across the pacific. you are left totally to your own devices. there was no producer's shadow looming over you. you were given a free hand and those were heady days. >> there are a lot of theories that have been written about the comic spirit in people. there are freudian explanations of it. they say that funny people perceive their mothers as being troubled and they spent their early childhoods trying to amuse their mothers. >> is that what they say? >> yeah. >> do you buy that? >> i think that's your first audience. it's your mom in the kitchen. doing something goofy and making your mom laugh. >> you are trying to make her happy and laugh. >> yeah. >> or make her love you. one or the other. >> that's probably all rolled together. other people talk abo

. >> cbs evening news was the lead story, and abc world news gave it a couple of sentences but do you think some in the press are playing this down or is it more that the story is fluid? >> probably they are disappointed and at the same time --. >> you are saying the press is rooting for civil rights charges against officer wilson? >> it is beyond ridiculous to say the press wasn't overwhelmingly on one side of the narrative going back to the early days. >> even after additional information came out about michael brown? >> the facts are -- the general enthusiasm on one side of the story is obvious. this is probably been leak bit justice department to lessen the blow of the disappointment of the sharpton and msnbc crowd because it is embarrassing the way holder went in guns blazing in the early days and they have to let the air out of the bubble. >> this want a huge surprise joe, very huge people expected federal civil right because you have to prove the officer intended to violate his sifts. >> jonam is right about the small leak that has been going out from the very beginning includi
