to a cartoon. how important is the media? >> i think it is critical because i think one of the reasons that people get so enraged by cartoons is they're frustrated because if you don't like an article, you can write a letter to the editor even if it's only in your head. there not only is no such thing as a cartoon to the editor but cartoons and caricatures are by definition unfair. they only tell one side of the story. they exaggerate it. and so you believe that you've been unfairly or someone you identify with has been unfairly accused. and you're powerless to respond to them. >> you write about this very blunt cover of the new yorker on july 21, 2008 provoked unprecedented emotional blow-back. this was the image of then candidate barack obama and his wife michelle obama dressed as terrorists doing a fist bump. why was that so powerful? >> i think that was a case where the cartoon was misunderstood and david recommend nick the editor of the new yorker claimed that this was not a par deor a satire

. >> it doesn't look like cartoon network. >> maslow's hierarchy. >> sorry. back up. a big logo slide. >> and we're supposed to be about the technology. >> imagine a big stop bullying speak up logo on the slide behind me. >> say that again. >> stop bullying, speak up is the name of the campaign and a nice transition. my complements to everyone in the room. if i have learned everything in the last four years while researching bullying prevention and for our age group and the kids in the second through seventh grade it's that not only does it take a village but a village of people who are willing to partner and collaborate with each other and speak not only to adults about this issue but speak to children and i think it's an interesting transition from mia's work to mine. still not mine. >> it is but -- >> and the role we play at cartoon network and thousands of kids at home everyday and the role we play is taking that information, translating it and content on the line and when kids come independently to our screens to play games and watch television and do a variety o

it's not -- >> it is a cartoon. >> it's an avatar cartoon. >> the cartoon makes it a pejorative and you use the language that way. i think it couldn't be better for the defense to put it up there and say this is one reasonable possibility of what happened. by the way, if there's a reasonable possibility that this is the way that it happened, you must find the defendant not guilty. >> it's going to be shredded by the prosecution. it's going to be shredded. >> we've got to leave it there. just for the record, i think it was jeff toobin who first used the term cartoon. just for the record. >> we'll pick up the conversation shortly. >>> coming up next, i'll talk to defense attorney mark o'mara about why his client did not testify and why he wants the jury to consider the maximum charge against him, nothing else. and also you'll hear the martin family attorney, darrell parks and his take on the trial. we'll be right back. probably the car. cause as you get older you start breaking down. i love my car. i want to take care of it. i have a bad wheel - i must say. my car is running quite well. k

"war is boring" that's the title of his first cartoon novel.hanistan to draw attention to the scenes there. now he's inkoppetted those into a book that's all his own. >> life begins at incorporation, cartoons and essays. tell us about this. this is also a collection of your thoughts on news of the day, your trip to afghanistan? >> yes, so basically all of my work from the last four years, divided into chapters based on things that -- a chapter on the economy, women's reproductive rights, gay rights. >> so you know i am a failed cartoonist. >> yeah, you failed to become a tv news anchor, so i -- >> i am a failed cartoonist. you are very good. i have to say. i do admire your draftsmanship. it is beautiful. but why don't we have a little cartoon-off, if you don't mind. okay. give me your best obama. >> you always have a drone? >> yeah, this little predator drone up there. >> well, mine's a bit more ridiculous. oh, you forgot his mole. >> that's that. >> so pick a republican. we can do mitt romney, john mccain you want to go old school, george w. b

me go down the page here and pick up some other cartoons. the nixon toon, characatured repairman saying he says he's from the phone company. >> that cartoon by conrad was the watergate mess. he was probably one of the "the washington post" is the one normally with watergate and they did. to make ath was quick the nixon association and -- very early on. >> picture of him there from website. how about rights on this? how do you get rights to publish a lot of these cartoons? here's one, by the way, so people can look at it. "enemy's list" his own worst enemy. that's what it says at the bottom. >> conrad, his work is -- he feels no -- he was no fan of nixon. nor was nixon of he. -- i used most of this claim and r use because what i'm doing here is asically for public education purposes, though. i had -- most of the material kind of give credit where i can, where i find the source. but it's use in the interest of education. >> one last cartoon. have to come get me says richard nixon with a out the window. does it have to do anything with politics

groping, kissing, literally drooling on them and acting like a whistling, howling wolf in a tex avery cartoon. just hours ago he offered his apologies, but not his resignati resignation. >> i apologize to my staff, i

>> i mean, it is not exactly a cartoon, but i hate to sound like i watched shark nato, but the best cartoons are from the new yorker. a lot are the same cartoonists. i strongly object to dunesbury being on a list of the top 1,000. >> dunesbury is the beneficiary of comic book welfare. not funny, but because he agreed with the assumptions of the newspaper editors he got a spot. there has never been a funny one. >> it is like nation magazine humor. >> you are just jealous because you don't get to have sex with jane pauly. >> i would read it and be mad. first of all i don't even understand it. and i don't think it was because i was stupid. i was stupid, but that wasn't the reason. >> is it the far side one where it says pull and he is pushing and it is for the school for the gifted? that made me feel bad every time i see that. >> that is the classic one. >> the show i don't like -- the comic strip i didn't like was andy kapp. he was taking a nap or beating his wife. >> always drinking. >> he was always drinking and napping and scaring the crap out of his wife. and you love brenda star. >> i tri

this is a high-tech cartoon. that's what this is. and the idea, like we're going to show you a movie that says our client is innocent. i mean, that's ridiculous, you can't do that. i mean, this is -- you know, their version of the facts, which is what they should argue to the jury. but they can't put this cartoon on and say that people -- like this is somehow evidence. it's just all made up. >> mark, you've used re-creations like this before. do you find them effective? >> look, i'm going to tell you what cracks me up about this, and i could be speculating, but the reason that this judge took so long is because if this had been the prosecution wanting to get in something like this, she probably would have allowed it. >> oh, come on, mark. >> because there are a lot of judges -- i've had cases, sunny, real murder cases, where prosecutors have put on tapes of somebody in their backyard throwing watermelons as if that's evidence. >> but an avatar-like cartoon movie? >> you were representing somebody in a case with a water melon? >> well

finally a cartoon by a moroccan cartoonist named halid. maybe there could be a doe domno effect. toppling over and knocking into a ben kira from justice and from morocco who's toppling from the harada party in tunisia. >> and a possible comeback for former president nicholas sarkozy. >> it's the million dollar question in inference. he made his first official political appearance this week after losing his bid for re-election last year. a lot of people -- well, say maybe this was the beginning of a comeback if it was not quite the real come back. but he's been very mysterious you about the whole thing. we take a look at the secrets of a strange comeback. he's doing a great job at it. but the truth is, he hasn't really changed at all. when he's really out to do is get revenge according to them quite left liening magazine here in france. he's not really a rallying figure these days. >> that's dominick, the former i.m.f. chief and quite a famous figure here in france now. time wonders if he could be making a come back. and that makes me elliott spitter. >> what about dominique's. he

i think maybe that british press cartoon sums it up. a tidal wave of royal baby news submerging some poor member of the public with television screens, newspapers etc. do we have that? not sure we can actually get the visual. but in any case -- >> the technical staff in the gallery has had enough. there we go. >> a tidal wave of baby news coverage. elsewhere, take a look at that. that is the daily mail with their commemorative issue of the royal baby and about 20 pages of wall-to-wall coverage. in the end, they ask if the bbc was over-the-top, which, which is a bit rich. the bbc answered that on the complete section of the website. they said monday was the biggest day ever for their website. from their point of view, there was interest in the story so they were covering it. they also covered other stories. i think it was seven or eight minutes after the 1 p.m. news they were interviewing a kate middleton look-alike and asking some very serious questions. the coverage did get a little bit crazy. >> i was going to say, because i had a sen

. >> this looks like a cartoon. >> too perfect for you? >> yes. this is really good footage they've got. watch as the action begins. >> you have three bears. >> and then peril starts. >> two of them go for a ride. >> moms jump down and go after the babies. then a predator approaches. another bear. >> mama gets in a fight with another bear as she is trying to rescue her babies. >> the video skips and you see the third bear, i don't know if he jumped out of sympathy for the other two but the cubs eventually are rescued by mom. >> that's the sweetest show of emotion from a bear to watch her little worried face as her little cubs get swept down the waterfall and then she goes bounding in. >> this is a cartoon. >> she really sprung into action quick. >> it is understandable why it has gone viral. this is the live feed we captured. you never know how many bears you will see. right there you can see four of them sitting there. >> like at a spa. >> you can see where we get the phrase don't mess with a mama bear and her cubs. >>> this video is on a public

the same thing they do believe it or not in cartoons, vast majority of cartoon movies have the male mouth is the lead. the male pig, the male pair, the male smurf do this with children i think we've got to -- >> not all the disney princess, right. like moulan was seriously tough woman she was great role model. there's lot of examples here and thereof women characters who we should all aspire to be like the heroes that they are. but how the characters are represented. sometimes playing to the bad stereotype but they do this to men, too. there's a huge interest in how women are represented in the media. we really talk about how men are represented because while there are some super men characters there are a lot of fuddy-dud deincompetent men, i don't think that's fair. >> and super heroes are not -- maybe something little boys would want to emulate but not -- they have their drawbacks, too. but you made a great point, eleanor, about -- that these movies are catering to international sales. what do we do about trying to get women more powerful in their roles more representative in movies ma

alice con is from cartoon network. dave steer to her right is from facebook and next to him is officer holly lawrence, sunny valley of public safety, digital safety program and she's going to talk about which is a powerful thing going national. and next -- is brian here? no. okay. all right. so we're all set and mia i would like you to enlighten us more in all that you're doing in social emotional learning. >> sure. i had some slides but i'm not sure -- no, we have a handout that went around to you and more detail about what social emotional learning is because i think we rise a little bit today and i came from seattle and i know many people have brought up that term today and i get the sense from this group that you're at kind of a high level of discourse and you have a general understanding. could i see a show of hands for those of you that social emotional learning is a familiar term? and those that feel you have a deep understanding of it? okay. great. thank you. i want to introduce myself a little more so you have

and so we want to start with kind of on a syterical note there was an apt cartoon that appeared in the sunday chronicle a couple of sundays ago and it was on two sundays ago in the opinion page and this maybe only a nerd could appreciate this but i thought it was hilarious. so this shows that the governor's education budget is putting a drop of water in a canyon that drop of water encouraging but the top of the canyon is the 2007 funding level but as we have been saying over and over again, we are digging ourselves out and the state is helping us dig out of a very deep hole that took a while to create and it will be a while before funding problems are solved. so even though directionally, it is really critical, and such a relief to see that the tide is starting to turn in absolute terms we are still at a neater level of funding and so it was sort of validating in a way to see this recognized in the chronicle that way. so that is just one note. the next slide that you have seen before. but just to illustrate the same point, this is what we call the alligator chart. this is an older vers

aliens" and a great success for cartoon networks with our dragons tv show. so we've had a really good track record for that. so this is really expanding on it. melissa: youit mentioned "housef cards" and it proved one of the fascinating new phenomenons on netflix which is how quickly people consume the content that's on there. there was a study that said, a bunch of peep a big percentage that went through "house of cards,", the entire first seasn in 48 hours. we watch cartoons on netflix at my house.rs exactly. we watch netflix. >> guilty. melissa: with the cartoons my kids k consume them very, very fast as well when they like something. do you think there will be pressure on you to come up with even more content? and do you think you can grow this business beyond the 200 million mark annually? >> so the answer is, we hope there's pressure on us to do it and we're confident that we can continue to scale this. you know, we have a great foundation of talent here. we have the bandwidth to do this. and the degree to which it really proves itself out which, i hav

but in my experience you can tip it a little too far to the cartoon side. the fact that this animation looks like avatar can make it look like a cartoon event. what i think, something much more compelling is john guy getting on top of the dummy in the courtroom. that brings it home better to me, than this, that is not very real. >> they were eager to get this animation in through testimony and introduced through testimony. but now it will be a tool through final argument? >> yeah, i don't think it is that significant. i think we have to give this jury some credit for intelligence, they realize this was put through defense expert's testimony, they are going to decide this case based on the evidence, not a cartoon. >> faith, the closing argument -- >> george zimmerman is a mother's worst nightmare. because you send your teenager to the store. and you expect that they come home and will be okay. and trayvon martin was walking home with nothing but skittles and a drink, and he had a 12-year-old waiting for him where he was staying. and he ends up dead. he was n

nonsense we have to look at this is you know everyone's trying to play wimpy to you will popeye cartoons think i'll pay you next tuesday for a hamburger today well guess what it's tuesday that's course you can forget wimpy the classic character from the early popeye cartoons now girl didn't just talk about timing for a second because this idea that there's a secular shift in bond markets and interest rates going to start rising has been talked about now for several years so the question i have in a lot of people would have is well what stop. ups the central bank staff are coming in and launching a massive global quantitative easing like program to stop this reversal from happening or are we saying or are you saying that basically all the bullets in the guns of the central banks have been fired and we just there is no recourse at this time your thoughts. well how do you stop it from happening max if you flatten out to yield curve and prevent the reversion by continuing to q.e. at ever greater amounts know who won the amount that's necessary in order to continue to keep that from happening

what it's tuesday that's course you can forget wimpy the classic character from the early popeye cartoons now girl dana just talked about timing for a second because this idea that there's a secular shift in bond markets and interest rates going to start rising has been talked about now for several years so the question i have in a lot of people would have is well let's stop. obst the central bank staff are coming in and launching a massive global quantitative easing like program to stop this reversal from happening or are we saying or are you saying that basically all the bullets in the guns of the central banks have been fired and we just there is no recourse at this time your thoughts. well how do you stop it from happening max if you flatten out to yield curve and prevent the reversion by continuing to q.e. at ever greater amounts no one the amount that's necessary in order to continue to keep them from happening goes up exponentially this is what we've seen this is why despite what the fed has done you have not continued to fall secondly there's a zero bond re problem what are you go
