they come in and they look at a case and they say this is what i think and bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. yet, the outrage at nancy grace, you don't hear judge judy getting pillared like that. >> no. but judge judy is doing her little act there and nobody takes that kind of show seriously. nancy grace, the former prosecutor is showing serious stuff. in answer to your question i'm going to answer now. it's only a theory. nancy grace is a no nonsense law and order we can all agree on that. law and order. most journalists given their political persuasion aren't law and order types. they are just not. here is somebody who is talking about the defendant being guilty in no uncertain terms. they jump after her. but i bet you if this were 1960 and she were saying that bubba jones down in mississippi were guilty of killing that black man, i betcha they won't jump on her on that. it isn't her passion it isn't herself that they are upset about. it's this particular case that reallyup sets them. and her general what you called her flamboyance. >> her judgmental approach i agree with you've approach

finally, we always think in terms of just traditional search and just the google, bing, yahoo! type of search. but, actually, there are dozens and dozens of ways of finding out information, you know, if you want to buy a product use amazon or ebay, other kinds of information go to facebook or wikipedia. and in that greater search market google's only one of numerous choices. is it a conflict for bag to toll position its own -- for google to position its own services at the top of its search rankings? >> guest: well, first, you know, if google really kid that, than instead of using facebook i'd be using the failed product or instead of wikipedia, i'd be using knoll. i don't think there's evidence that actually occurs. but i think we should pause for a second. although it may sound at least from mr. yes cland's -- cleland's perspective that that might be unfair, we want firms -- from a consumer's perspective, we want the strongest rivals to be able to come up with the best products and to hamper google's opportunity to come up with better products to say that they couldn't go and

[laughter] those women were saints. they were saints. [applause] i was conceived through a firm handshake. >> immaculate. >> so what got rid of it. >> what got rid of it was the hypocrisy. they skated around it whef they wanted. they could stockpile it. the depression came. it reminded me why we ended the fifth largest industry in america, the teamster, the barrel makers, the waiters. you couldn't remember the culture war, the moral imperative that they absolutely... the moral absolutism of prohibition. they refused to compromise. we may still have a version of prohibition if they had be willing to compromise. but single-issue campaigns are grabbed ahold by people who are certain they're right. there is no compromise. nothing but more enforcement. by that
