that's it ok that's an important story that should be covered who cares about anthony weiner's wiener who cares about casey anthony you know the casey anthony trial i can understand if you do like a quick five minute story on it and you move on but it was not in stock coverage who cares what's going on with the fence spending what's going on with the debt ceiling negotiations what's going on with issues that actually matter well that's the reason why a lot of the public at this point is going online for their media that's why they're going online for their news because you don't see a lot of television shows covering issues that matter and you know thank god for the internet thank god that there is that outlet that option there that you ask the question who cares just going back to casey anthony i h l n their ratings went out immensely during this trial so obviously people do care i want to talk to you really briefly about the business of news fox is of course a very successful example they are a money making machine they are not fair and balanced as they say they know they're not fai

between superman and anthony weiner, that look is popular. only is he wearing his speedos inside now, he's wearing uggs instead of regular boots. it's a little disturbing. these heroes, you grow up with them, they suddenly change. it's weird. we don't update santa every ten years. he's santa. he looks how he looks. i kind of feel like superman should be the same way. but i'm not an expert, so, we went out on hollywood boulevard today to speak to some people who are experts on that subject. and here now is what the costume characters of hollywood boulevard who live outside our building had to say about superman's new look. >> um -- i don't like the fact that they have given him a red belt and taken out his shorts and i don't like that they changed the boots. >> other super heroes probably like it better. because he's been around for, like, 50 years, and underwear is probably, like, stinky and just not good for super fighting against criminals. >> pants are very important to me, it's part of my name and i take it very seriously. it's profane. >

[ light laughter ] >> jimmy: there, right there. it looks like a number. >> it's a comedy club. that was part of my -- when i was a stand-up, some of that was my book of old contacts and stuff. so don't ring it. it's not there anymore. >> jimmy: well how do we know? we don't know. i don't know. i was going to try to call a 1-800 and see what it is. but it's n

this is lot the anthony weiner scandal. happened, but in terms of how democrats have to handle this. let's have an ethics investigation. that's not going to happen very fast. a lot of folks want wu to resign. you can't force a member to resign. >> nancy pelosi is obviously taking this very, very seriously. she had a conversation with him and referred to the ethics committee and said she wanted to ethics committee to take it up. as you pointed out they take forever to get anything done. he could be in hi next term, although he's not going to run again. >> he said he's not going to run again. there's going to be increasing pressure for him to resign and resign quickly. each day brings a new detail about this. there's a phone message left in -- according to the oregonian reporting left with these accusations. we don't know what's going to happen. what they learned from anthony weiner is if someone wants to stick around regardless of how bad a scandal starts to sound, they can stick around. even anthony weiner eventually resign

note to the supposedly smarty pant students, look what happened to anthony weiner. >> be excellent to and party on, dudes! >>> so much for "bill and ted's excellent adventure." the party's over for time travel. hong kong physicists say they prove it's impossible. it's no the physical laws of the universe prohibit it. the proof, a single foe on the cannot move faster than the speed of light. all right. somebody tell steven hawking it's time to update his book, how to build a time machine. >>> it's also time to update your impression of 40-year-old women. "usa today" point out as gen xor's move into their middle years, 40 is the new 20. these women are living it up. they're inviting girlfriends on fabulous vacations. you know what makes 40 better than 20, you can afford that plastic surgery. my doctor told me calcium is best absorbed in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. new citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d for the efficient absorption my body needs. citracal. for the efficient absorption my body needs. host: c

the shark attacks or these kidnappings but it seems to me i mean i think back to the case of anthony weiner and gate this wasn't a story that was one of many stories this was a story that filled out filled out the majority of programming certain days so why can't they do it all why can't these networks say you know what yeah the kidnapping story sells the commercials or whatever but let's also think in some good stuff. money the bottom line is it always comes down to money you know the paradigm example i used with my students as a journalism professor was if you've got a story of a county health care budget and it's been cut and that that decision is going to affect tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people in that caring. and you've got a liquor store robbery where the owner was shot. which story are you going to cover well if you say if you want to do the health care story you've got to spin dozens if not more man hours analyzing that finding out where the money went and if you come out with a story that explains why that's so important to your audience you've got to come u

news and particulars are not better are just wasting your time with casey anthony story with anthony weiner's wiener it's become a national joke a national joke that protects ad revenue and political currency unlike more hard hitting stories they would be stories that are big corporations and big political power and that's why they're not covered it could explain why the politicians become fair game only on the way down when everyone's covering it maybe this is a theory is right it could explain why more reporters haven't covered for example a secret prison in somalia run by the cia journalist jeremy scahill exposed secrets and says several other american reporters know about it too instead this was the response to his story in the case of c.n.n. didn't even mention my report and just basically reprinted a press release from the cia saying that you know they were just assisting the somali government it could explain why networks aren't redoubling their efforts to cover hard hitting stories instead fresh off the successful ratings of the casey anthony trial you have a network like a.b.c. hirin

you got rick sanford, john ensign, eric massa, anthony weiner.with a man thing and a power thing. >> dana? >> oh, i don't know. i don't think it's a man thing. i think that's harsh on men. i think the ladies can be as culpable as well. you're asking an independent conservative whether i think democrats have an image problem. of course that is an obvious answer. but i also think republicans right now have an image problem because their entire base are looking at congressional leadership and asking where is your spine? where is your spine in these debt talks? don't cave, house leadership. they could have an image problem too. >> maria? >> totally agree republicans have an image problem overall because of how they've been behaving during the debt talks. on your question, kyra, it is a problem of men in power. and for every anthony weiner and david wu, you know, the republicans have, and this was mentioned before, vitter, ensign, schwarzenegger, larry craig. so it's a problem of men in power. the power goes to their head. no pun intended. they think

they remember what happened with anthony weiner.n that dragged out and it was a drag down on democrats, they want to cut this off as quickly as possible. >> reporter: although congressman wu has so far resisted calls to resign, there are reports that he won't run for re-election next year. brian todd, cnn, washington. >>> and david wu's office has now confirmed to cnn that he will not seek re-election. >>> peter baychez, editor of "the oregonian." peter, you've been on top of this story from the begin. tell us about congressman wu's reputation before this story surfaced. >> congressman wu has been in office for some time, seven terms, and is well known to people here in portland. he's always been a bit of a character. his issues have not necessarily been in the mainstream. he cares deeply about technology and has been outspoken on issues involving china, of course, because he was the first chinese-american elected to congress. but i think in general, people here -- he's in a pretty safe democratic district. the republicans haven't m

you probably know it was a word that was tossed around in the anthony weiner scandal. joining us to talk about this, michelle connell, washington correspondent for "newsweek" and the daily beast. a.b. stoddard, columnist for "the hill" and matthew as well. halperin made a stupid joke. he apologized. keep your answer clean by the way. does this warrant an indefinite suspension? >> look, they feel like they have to because otherwise then you get into the question of when's it okay. i think everybodyion blown these things. he thought he was on delay. >> it's live television. who's going to gamble their career that somebody will push a button? matthew, once the white house spokesman jay carney complained about this, do you think msnbc feel pressured into punishing halperin? >> if there was any pressure it was internal pressure, right? they don't want their commentators to have this malfunction. i'm struck by the fact if i'm mark halperin sitting there, i think the hosts are telling me to speak my mind. i didn't see sarcasm in mika or joe. i'm on mark halperin's side here.

>> jimmy: there's now growing pressure for congressman anthony weiner to resign. [ audience aws ] yeahweiner is like "look, i'm not leaving, but i am packing." [ laughter ] so -- [ cheers and applause ] yeah. democrats in congress seem to be distancing themselves from the anthony weiner scandal. just to be safe, everybody's staying a good six to eight inches away at all times. [ laughter ] listen to this, a new study found that being bored can be good for your brain. which explains that new campaign slogan "mitt romney: i'm good for your brain."
