is this a gotcha moment for democrats? >> everyone who is saying this will be a god sent to the campaign and get everyone to be specific and put ideas on the table is correct. this will be an election about two clear choices for the future of our country. now, the unfortunate thing here is that mitt romney has chosen in his pick to embrace the right wing extremist house republican wing of his party to try and play indicate the dash dwash placate the base that has been friendly toward him, and he will alienate mainstream voters who will be concerned that romney-ryan wants to end medicare as we know it and privatize social security and gut medicaid and cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires to raise the deficit and raise taxes on 95% of americans. mainstream voters are not going to like that no matter how happy the base may be. >> some of the things they are talking about don't seem extreme. like reforming the tax code, like getting small businesses to hire again. are these some of the vote -- some of the things voters

the "san francisco chronicle" at saying, "the ethics commission's biggest critics are believers in gotchaovernment. this is the criminal's mantra. do you have any idea of the social damage that is caused when police are followed with the abuse and corruption that are faced in our society and they say they're against accountability. the effect is devastating. mr. st. kroy's ethics apparently is just another opportunity to network with the criminals. well, the reason why we have an ethics commission is because the supervisors and other public officials just treated, a chance to network with the criminals and we needed an outside independent group. in fact, why should they fire ms. gomez if you can't fire mr. st. croix. >> members of the ethics commission, ray hart, director of san francisco open government. know your rights under sunshine ordinance as printed on every agenda for city board meetings and commissions. you can submit a 150-word summary which is supposed to be included in the minutes. i have four orders of determination in cases number 10054, the overhead, against the library co

i'm looking for a gotcha moment. people want the leader -- >> you want one, i'll give you one! >> juan: people want the leader of the free world to not be scripted. they want to know what you're thinking and what you're going to do. and all respect to that reporter from people or entertainment tonight, guess what? she doesn't follow the news as intensely as a white house correspondent. ed henry knows more than she does. >> ed henry does more than most reporters whether they're on the white house seat or not. >> juan: all right. >> agreed. but people tend to study for the president. they tend to be well briefed for the president. sometimes they're intimidated certainly by the president. i would like to see him be more open, but he is, as you suggest, following in the tradition of ducking the press, of the bipartisan tradition of why risk all that? why risk that? >> juan: let me peek up for geraldo rivera and say, mr. president, come on geraldo's show. >> if you dare. if you dare. >> juan: geraldo, thank you. also, come on "the factor." bill o'reilly sits right here. as "the fact

i thought it was governor blagojevich -- it was classic gotcha journalism.ng about 8.3 unemployment, the smoking ruins of the obama presidency. they're chasing after this snow storm misplaced, bad journalism. >> gotcha journalism suggests to me that the media are set something kind of trap. the problem with the thesis is that romney is the one who uttered the words, whether it was a joke or not. >> right. also you have to point out, too, that the conservatives have been pretty critical of the extremists in their own party, right? so i think in terms of covering the story, you kind of can't have it both ways, right, and say that it's not fair to paint all conservatives with this broad brush of extremists and then makea comment that's perceived as embracing some of those extremist comments. that's i think what made this somewhat newsworthy. if donald trump repeated it again, no one would have covered it, right? what made it interesting -- >> not no one. it's donald trump. let me turn to something that you wrote the other day, hugh, that caught my eye. you talk
