yeah see if i were bloomberg i might stop talking about that publicly because it seems like the a.p. is just slowly continuing to release information there proves what he said is a lie this week the a.p. released documents of prove the secretive and demographics unit has been targeting muslim owned stores and places of worship and i might be asking yourself how this is different from the other reports of the a.p.'s put out unfortunately for the n.y.p.d. and for mayor bloomberg the new documents show the unit was working undercover in these places because they were places of muslim muslims owned or frequented but here's the kicker that also shows that they were doing or what they were doing was in fact based on religion and nothing else the documents show they deliberately chose not to monitor the jewish and coptic christian populations in the exact same areas where they were monitoring the muslim community this report does not represent the coptic egyptian community and is merely an insight into the muslim egyptian community of new york city if you ask me that's that's pretty damning

[applause] >> may have a second thought. >> back to something mayor bloomberg said. i want to weigh in on it. you pointed out the the unemployment rate is 4% compared to what we have. we know how profoundly the unemployment rate is for younger high school graduates. particularly minorities, particularly mail. whether or not this is snobbish to talk about higher education. >> that really -- [talking over each other] >> 20 years ago we closed vocational schools and everybody said what the me and my kid won't go to harvard legal yell princeton? he is not but harvard, yale and princeton is not for everybody and that is not the way to make the most money. a great tongue-in-cheek peace nine months ago i urge you all to read comparing going to harvard university with joining the corrections department of the state of california. the state of california corrections department is much more selective than harvard and you almost never catch up because instead of spending 50 grand each year you make money and the benefits and vacation and everything else. the issue is we need pe

how is bloomberg doing progress of journalism? we may be thinking about different definitions of what that is. i'm not sure if the segue from that into investigative journalism made a lot of sense to most people's thinking in terms of how that is defined. >> have another question? >> i am a local free-lance journalist here. a couple of years ago, i had a friend. we were trying to figure out the feasibility of starting a nonprofit journalism in denver, and i remember coming across this corporate structure that i believe vermont, maybe one other state, uses in the country, but it is called a low profit limited liability company, and it is a structure that is meant to allow for profit but also to allow for tax-exempt status for donations. i found it really interesting. i found it surprising that other states did not have a similar model. this could also be a model to help budding companies in the future by allowing them more flexibility in how they acquire financing. i'm curious how many of you on the panel are familiar with this typ
