. >> my friend david carr has several things to say. klein's change of address could be read as the latest parable of old media cluelessness. a star journalist cashing in on namebrand success, but it is more than that. he said, mr. klein is not running away from something. he is going toward something else. >> there is some sort of negative judgment being rendered on the washington post. the washington post just won a number of pulitzers. i was deeply glad to be there and it is a deeply incredible organization. this was just a different idea. if you are a large distributor, a large magazine that has a good website, you need a publishing system that provides a number of different solutions and integrates different things, including how to move things from digital. you have publishing systems built in the world that are really good. the thing we needed to do, which was create a quite vast amount of information, that was easy to update, easy to make permanent, easy for reporters to get back to, that could be attached to other information -

. >> host: i want to get you to respond to what david carr wrote after the announcement of the merger. for consumers, cable sent television any more. it is where the internet comes from and should this go through more people that want to cut the cable cord will have to get broadband from a company that only goes up. >> guest: in terms of buying broadband today, consumers will have the same choices before and after this. the theory that this transaction is going to reduce choice for the purchase of broadband isn't true at all. number two, according to the fcc 93% of americans have access to broadband and 97% of them have a choice of at least two broadband providers. so it isn't a single-choice market as mr. carr represents. and last the prices on broadband only go one direction, which is up, is only true if you look at sticker price. but with promotions, prices for broadband have been stable and when you realize the speed and capacity built-in, comcast consumers pay less for what was delivered a day ago. so sharply declining prices. >> host: howard bus is here on the panel. >> you have

i talked to david carr about that piece. is something about media companies where it can be quite personal. and i can understand how the family would want to continue in that company. i get that. >> the grahams as well. brian roberts started laying cable line. his father, don graham started with the same thing. it's an interesting thing. i remember my father was a merchant. he would like nothing better than if i had said, i am coming back and work in the company business. there was no way for me because i was in love with media. >> i have a ball working with benjamin and izzie. >> and to have both of them there. fun. >> heaven. >> so tell me how you guys see the future? here we are with so much going on. we know, and i just talked with larry page at ted conference, and just to talk to him you get excited about what is happening in in terms of where all of the things that google is doing. same thing if you talk to facebook. same thing if you talk to amazon, who i recently did a "60 minutes" piece about. these are big companie

there's something b i actually talked about david carr about that piece. there's something about media companies where it can be quite personal. and i can understand how the family would want to continue in that company, i get that. >> rose: graham's as well. >> yes. because it is personal, it is a point of view. i get that. >> rose: and then at the same time in some cases i mean bryan roberts started laying cable line. >> right. >> rose: his father don graham started the same thing. >> yes. >> rose: captain graham continued after him. i mean it's an interesting thing. and i remember my father was a merchant and he would like nothing better than if i had said i'm coming back and work in the company business. there's no way for me because i was in love with media. >> i have a ball working with benjamin and izzy, i really do. >> rose: and have both of them there. >> it's fun, it really is. >> rose: tell me how you guys see the future. here we are with so much going on. we know, and i just talked to larry page at ted conference as you know. just to talk to hi

. >> david carr in the new york times" raise york some questions in his article on monday. how would they review this deal reversed, would they try to buy him the -- mbc universal -- how would they look at this situation? >> you raised a good point, which is, if this had been a cable bill, first, with time warner cable and then vertical integration, it would have looked worse on its face than doing it in this order, in the order that comcast has done this. >> the question -- >> i just want to understand the work -- the word you are -- i want to understand what you are -- i want to understand the point you are trying to make. it would not have gone? >> it would have been more problematic. i don't want to protect what they have done if the agency had come out in reviewing this, but certainly with a much bigger footprint, and a bigger acquiring aotprint, company like nbc universal, would look worse on the surface. i think at the end of the day it will not matter what order in which the deals were done. they'll take a close look at this one and i think that people are being a l

. >> michael wolf with another tough column on the heels of david carr's column how they all want tohow business and it's a tough racket. >> the disney marker. >> oh, my gosh. relativity giving them a run for their money. >> who has more money? relatively or bob iger. i did that rather than disney to antagonize you. disney does. i don't know if they're going to come out and pay. >> mastercard above the 200 day, upgrade out of janney, earlier in the week, beard, impact crest upgraded them. >> these stocks have fallen off a cliff. mastercard did not report a good quart but visa did. visa dow stock. i think mastercard not unlike coca-cola, i think they're going to report a very good quarter and people are selling the stock because they've written it off. i think these companies have a great secular trend behind them, the paper to plastic, it's not done. people still use paper all over the globe. >> yeah. >> against that the -- >> paper as in money. >> as in checks. >> not writing -- or writing checks. >> money and checks. i use a credit card. i don't know about you guys. >> all the time

. >> -- peter, michael wolff, david carr of "the times" they want to play with the big boys in show businessestions, especially from media, competitors media, partner, what the strategy is, trying to get different video stuff, maybe taking on youtube. there's a lot of what's going on, hiring bobby brown to do the editorial, also advertisers. a lot of head scratching. if you're wall street, all right, we'll let this stuff settle out. she's going to have a big presentation next week where she shows the stuff off to advertisers, so we'll wait and see. >> verizon and time warner cable might have competition in the big apple. google fiber, google's high-speed internet service is available in kansas city, austin, provo, utah, and now it may be coming to new york city. this job posting popped up on google's website calling for a google fiber regional sales manager in new york. the position will, quote, manage multiple teams that evangelize google fiber services to apartments and condos. jon, we had big discussions today about whether this is even physically possible. >> well, google has a way of ma

let's bring back our panel, mary schiavo, alan diehl and david carr., really begs the question. are we safe to travel he is pesy overseas right now? >> well, you're only as safe as your national regulations allow you to be. each flying nation, i call them aviation nations, have to fly by the rules of their own country. and the malaysian tragedy has pointed out that malaysia department have rules comparable, for example, to ours in many security areas. for example, the solid and secured locking doors and that a crew member, if they leave the cockpit, must be replaced by another person, a flight attendant. that's already the rule in this country for most airlines. we don't leave a pilot in the cockpit alone for some very practical reasons. what if the pilot's taken ill, if there's a decompression, et cetera, and who will let the other pilot back in? there's lots of reasons for that. this is pointed out malaysian airlines did not follow the rules that most of the aviation nations take for granted at this point in a post-9/11 world. >> isn't it always the
