like the starring carter in oklahoma and stephen crane was a hot young novelist, william randolph hearst, who was the hot new newspaper mogul hired to write a piece for the new york journal. the tenderloin was an old timer, told him somebody blowing champagne to the house. diamonds, girls, lights, music over sixth avenue. wasn't room enough. it held the side streets. it was great. so what were the dream girls of the 1890s like? this is lillian russell, star of the stage. any engineer will tell you that about any like that needs support. the brassiere had not yet been invented and women's dependent on horses -- corsets. these instruments of torture compacted waste and lifted the bosom. what pretty ideal measurements of women of the 1890s? this surprised me. this woman, posed as american venus is 5 foot 5 inches tall, weighs 151 pounds and the tablet announces her bust was 35, waste 32, hips 38. the dream girl of that era was 35-32-38 which is not like 36-24-36 playboy or anything. yesteryear's goddess would be going to wait watchers today. when she got dressed she was supposed to have an

on the other hand the san francisco examiner which was owned by william randolph hearst and which was famed for beginning what we now call yellow journalism, actually covered the plague in a very sort of alert fashion. and it is probably not because he was a great champion of public health but just because it was a darn good story. one of the papers that did a really good job of covering the plague truthfully was the sacramento bee. and once the bee got on the story it was determined to document each and every case. and it took on the governor of the state, whose name was henry gauge. and gauge, who was an eastern lawyer who came to the los angeles area to become a rancher and later ran for governor, really sort of staked his whole political career on denying the existence of plague. in fact, he came up with a rather remarkable conspiracy theory to account for the inconvenient fact that they were starting to prove the diagnosis. and his theory was that joseph kenyon, the quarantine officer on angel island who first made the diagnosis, his theory was that dr. kenyon had actually smuggl

he endorsed david d ku hearst. do you think that will this, does this hurt rick perry, the fact that his guy did not win out and out? >> well, you know, i think endorsements are vastly overrated, frankly, alex. i don't think that it's a reflection on the person who endorsed that their person didn't win. i think people make their decisions based on wa they see as the issues and the representation. and i think the tea party is a very important part of the republican party. i do. i think they have voiced the frustration that people have against the obama administration and the washington way of doing things. i think that has been a value that they have added. i also think that people are going to be looking at the issues and who can fight the obama administration most effectively. and i think that's part of it, but i also think people have to know that the people you elect have to represent your interests. and sometimes that's parochial. >> speak of endorsements and those representatives representing the interests of

the hearst chain of television stations, for example, has won the cronkite award over and over, because they've risen to the challenge. if you have management and ownership from top down, saying to all their stations, "okay, you are required to run news stories about campaigns. you have to run five minutes a night for the last 30 days of a campaign. and we're going to judge you." if their management and ownership says, "you have to do it," they do it. and they can do an amazing job of it. the problem is that management like that is few and far between. >> so what is driving it? >> well, what's really driving it, if you think of this as a symptom and not a cause, i think what's really driving it is the absolute demonization of any kind of idea of public interest as embodied by government. and at the same time, a kind of corporate triumphalism, in which the corporations, the oligarchs, the plutocrats, running this country want to hold onto absolute power absolutely. and it's an irritant to them to have the accountability that news once used to play. >> what do you mean by that? news chall

we are a hearst station. fact checking or whatever you want to call it, giving pinocchios, is something that we have done at wesh since august 2002. the first true test was not on a commercial but when the former governor was running for attorney general. his opponent put up a billboard that said it took three times for him to pass the bar exam. we decided to treat tested that -- truth test that. >> was a true or false? >> it was true. >> charlie crist did take three times to pass the bar exam. we decided to go at that point through different ads. this year is going to be the busiest year that we have. we typically do somewhere between august and november in a general election year and 2024 27 -- 20 and 24 ads. it takes an enormous amount of time to research some of these things. we did not as many as we like. this year will probably be on course. in the way of numbers, i know we talk about numbers here today. we have been the sum to folks here in washington. we talk about the $200 million that super pacs hav
