, which has the awesome responsibility to send their firemen into a dangerous building that is on fire. they have a panel that did oral exams, it was not all written, consisting of one hispanic and one african-american and one white. according to the supreme court, this is what they held. the new haven officials were careful to ensure broad racial participation in the design of the test. the process was open and fair. there was no genuine dispute that the examinations were job- related and consistent with business purposes, but after the city saw the results of the exam it threw out those results because "not enough of one group did well enough on the tasked." the supreme court then found that the city rejected the test. -- one group did not do well enough on the test. after the tests were completed, the wrong racial results became the -- the raw racial results became the rationale for the city's refusal to certify the results. so you have stated that your background affects the fax you choose to sea. was the fact that the new haven firefighters had been subject to discrimination, one

thought isn't this slightly out of whack with the important things that are going on with policeman or firemen or soldiers or teachers. then when you take the next step, let's face it, in his -- when he was alive michael jackson in the later years was a terribly controversial figure in his private life. he was while there was a trial on child molestation charges, he was found not guilty. lots of famous people payout to avoid a trial without implying any kind of guilt. he took it a step farther of calling someone guilty of being a pedophile when there was absolutely no place anywhere where he was found guilty. this is a grown man who said yes he did have young children over for sleepovers. you are hearing, i think, less an attack as far as peter king is looking at it, less of an attack on jackson and more of an attack on the media and coverage, saying people are giving up lives every day for this country, where is the coverage for them? >> you take me into two different areas. let me start with this politically. i'm wondering and i don't have anything to go on when i ask this question, are othe
