(vo) she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. >>ok, so there's wiggle room in the ten commandments, that's what you're saying. you would rather deal with ahmadinejad than me

however the "new york times," associated press and huffington post will not attend because the justice department asked for the meeting to be off the record. holder is also under heavy criticism from lawmakers who believe he may have committed perjury during his may 15th testimony on capitol hill. >> with regard to the potential prosecution of the press force disclosed material, that's not something i have been involved in, heard of or think is a wise policy. >> just days after making that statement we learned holder personally signed off on a warrant names fox news reporter james rosen a criminal co-conspirator in a criminal leak case. yesterday the white house press secretary jay carney rejected claims that holder misled congress, adding the president has confidence in holder's abilities as attorney general. >>> according to sources close to the white house, president obama will nominate james comey as the next director of the fbi. comey is a republican and former senior justice department official under president bush. he is best known for his role in the 2004 standoff with white ho

here is one example from the huffington post on-line. this story really got the attention of everyone in the media. >> well, it certainly got mine and it's one story that's kind of brought the media together, left, right, large, small, because all of a sudden, our ox is being goered and suddenly we have to remind the american people that a spree press is one -- free press is one of those things we take for granted but essential in protecting a democracy. but there was one journalist when didn't get the talking points, if i can use that word, and that's wolf blitzer who says if there is a national security issue at stake here, shouldn't the government have the right to tap my phone? no, wolf. it shouldn't. >> well, so national security leak or no? who decides if it's national security versus freedom of the press? >> the administration has that option. so the "washington post" on friday made the point that the ap had the story on may 7 and of course, john brennan was out talking about it on may 8. so it would appear that they were investig

howard fineman joins us from the huffington post. mike isikoff, chief investigative reporter for nbc news. gentlemen, have at it. he's seen this stuff. you haven't. howard. >> my first thought is that the administration oddly enough would rather talk about benghazi now than either the irs or the a.p. so they're dealing with this first off because i think they think they're on the strongest ground with this. because their argument is that there was finally agreement, that everybody did sign off on what they did finally. and whatever the director of the office of terror analysis said initially to get the ball rolling, everybody in the end, petraeus, hillary clinton, officials in the white house all agreed on what susan rice eventually said. and that the changes that were made were made for legitimate reasons. that's their argument. that's why they're putting this stuff out. a lot of other things they don't want to put out. on this day in the middle of the sort of triple witching hour that we've got going on, they're putting this stuff

expect los angeles, california was number one but they have put an interactive map for you on "huffington post" taking a look at the most understressed cities in the u.s.. l. a. is number one. new york of course number two. but what might interest you this morning, baltimore came in at number 12 out of 15. they took into account everything from unemployment to daily commutes to work to daily stresses of what you have to do on a daily basis. so baltimore number 12. d.c. number four. dallas, houston they're in the top 15 too. but the least stressed place megan pack your bags we're going to hawaii. >> sounds pretty nice. >>> it is 6:18 right now. if you want to feel good about your community, this will do. a fell's point business owner saw our story on the gay family. their daughter was killed in newtown, connecticut. he picked up the phone and asked how he can help. jamie costello has more on the owner of bertha's. >> reporter: bertha's gave birth to the new fell's point. this bar wasn't here it'd be a highway. instead of cars waiting in people are. >> there's lot of o connections definitel

can be and echoing stereotypes, and i've called him out at times, and so i wrote a piece for the huffington post and for my own newman, the tampa bay times, and i talked about if bill o'reilly is calling me a race-baiter maybe i'ming too something right. i told that store to some friends and they said you should rite a book about how when you want to talk about issues of race, people dahl you a race-baiter and try to shut you down. i thought that was a good idea. so i took tenneers of writing i've done on race, prejudice, exterior types and media, and pulled it together in one book and used the unfortunate second of the race-baiter comment by bill o'reilly how to overlay it all. >> host: you write this book is an attempt to decode the way media outlets profit by segments americans. you call it the tyranny of the broadcast. what happenses a biggest pieceses of an increasingly fragmented audience are courted at the expense of many others. >> guest: yeah. there's this idea of once upon a time, we remember when there were three or four networks and people, made use made money by drying together

this sounds like a get tough sheriff to keep wall street in line but that's not all she told the huffington post last year and the financial crisis was so expensive and so many people were injured that it's ones and seem to think that there must have been massive wrongdoing from the top on down criminal cases must be built on compelling evidence not just positions and evidence of broad based misconduct that would rise to that level it doesn't exist this is the person who will be in charge of overseeing and best a geisha of securities fraud and fraud related to the financial crisis and the letter to the senate banking committee the f.c.c. occupy the as d.c. also raised the issue at a former as he's the chairman had to recuse himself from many cases that involve his prior clients why because the oath of office every as these three chairmen must take this would allow a jamie diamond and begs like his very own at j.p. morgan to receive an extended pass because white defended j.p. morgan from two thousand and ten to two thousand and twelve and several cases relating to the financial crisis and t

percent higher than what was originally forecasted but let's put this in the perspective of the huffington post as laid out the country's most profitable corporations exxon mobil reported forty four point nine billion dollars in net income last year what about the big banks on j.p. morgan chase bank of america citigroup and wells fargo have all together important income of fifty one point nine billion dollars in the last year so let's get this straight the government has profited more than the most profitable corporations and at the same time as all the largest banks combined this of course at a time when millions of students are mired down in student loans and drowning. and high interest rates who cares about all the poor students it's all about reigning in college cash so if you're ready for the government to stop acting like a corporation and operating like one join me and let's break the set. while guys it's national police week in washington an event that draws in about forty five thousand people from across the country every year and aside from what looks like the rise of a very ecle
