good bill keller here is also i think he was trying to be funny i think beginning of the article but it didn't really caught up that way because you know no no no that didn't work that's probably he starts naming how vanity fair is named one of the fifty most influential people in the world that you know anything he does or doesn't do seems to be an event and he kind of you know criticizes people for being obsessed with media personalities and at the same time the rest of his piece is devoted to attacking another media personality which is arianna huffington well as you know i come from the theaters of me thinks the lady doth protest too much you know i can't help but think mr keller i've asked all of my friends you know who bill keller is and nobody knew wow i guess they don't read the lists. but i'm sure that he would be absolutely heartbroken to hear that but then let's get into you know some of the meat of this story too because bill keller talks arianna huffington for saying that her web site is just fluff that they have you know entertainment news they have videos of cute kitte

i've asked all of my friends do you know who bill keller is and nobody knew the oh i guess they don't read the lists. i'm sure that he would be absolutely heartbroken to hear that but then let's get into you know some of the meat of this story too because bill keller talks arianna huffington for saying that her web site is just fluff that they have you know entertainment news that they have videos of cute kittens all mixed in with perhaps a little bit of original reporting and arianna seems to completely ignore that fact she you know she only talks about the original reporting and the the accolades the journalists that work for her have received but let's be honest there's a lot of fluff there's a lot of entertainment there are a lot of cute kitten videos there. and let's be honest about it huffington post has made their bones in terms of page views and in terms of how popular they are based on culture not necessarily based on politics because politics leads culture i mean culturally it's politics politics does not lead culture and already on and knows this and that's why she was so s

found there is a battle brewing between those specific organizations but started when editor bill keller wrote a piece staunchly critical of the huffington post and its format you know linking to several different sources on its on its site here with us georgetown university professor of journalism professor chris chambers chris less confident about this is really turning into an interesting thing that we've been sort of take place back in for us now huffington post we've all been on the site big headlines a lot of different subject matter how we say bill keller new york times he calls this aggregation and he says quote the queen of aggregation is of course arianna huffington who has discovered that if you take celebrity gossip adorable kitten videos post front page bloggers and news reports and other publications he says you know people will come so you know on one hand we've got a look at the numbers here arianna huffington always asked them if that estimates that she has seventy percent more unique page views than the new york times so what's going on here with us well back and forth

reporter john keller of our boston station wbz reports. >> reporter: ted kennedy declaring victory in run for senate, wife joan by his side. but barely 16 months before, ted was touring latin america without joan and allegedly without scruples. this fbi report on that trip was initially released with most details blacked out. only now have the blanks been filled in with claims that kennedy made arrangements to rent a brothel in chile for a night. and invited a u.s. embassy chauffeur to party with him there. >> we had to sue and we kept on pushing as to why certain information was being withheld. >> reporter: documents show there was pressure from the kennedys to suppress the report, not the first time they've tried to squelch unflattering information about the family. but with ted now gone, you wonder, do we really need to hear 50-year-old dirt about him? journalism professor dan kennedy of northeastern is from the opposite end of the political spectrum from the right leaning judicial watch. >> the freedom of information act certainly says that they should be public. and usually peopl

so there's exhibit a out the window. >> called for keller -- >> i did do that. yeah. and i can't even remember why that was. i think it was because -- they sat on the nsa story for a year. ... >> i was talking when my first remarks about the concept of common good. i wrote this essay in the american prospect. i don't know why they decided to do this. i guess you may have come you have a hypothesis. you may be right but devoted peace that talked about what influenced my essay was having about washington. that was kind of a objectively too. i don't want to set modest but in circles in washington what i wrote was being talked about a lot so they wrote a piece about it. they did run a picture. it's true. but my record with the books is a very good. -- with books isn't very good. what do i want to say? i think to talk a little more about the problem of diversity, yeah, i see the distinction between newsroom diversity as a policy and diversity as an ideological, whatever you said, an ideological drama. i do see that distinction. and i guess sometimes, sometimes the times la

bill keller at the times kept harassing me saying that you have to come back to the times.had lunch and he said you should think about the things you would like to do at the * if you were to return. i wanted to have a feature on the op-ed page. i was doing charging for the news pages, i could never do an op charge. t. that was the genesis of the idea. >> how did you get in to get into being a graphics specialist? >> complete happenstance. in college my aspirations its high school is i want to be the governor of louisiana. i was from louisiana and met the governor when i was a junior in high school. it was after he had said that the only way i can not be reelected if i was caught in bed with a live or dead girls. i have never seen anybody with that much confidence in my life. these governors are having the best time of their lives. i would love to be the governor of louisiana. i majored in english in college and pre-law. >> you want to gremlin? >> in louisiana. i was as if i did not go to law school with an english degree? i did not know. they told me to major in journalism

would you do what keller did? >> each of us has our own star we steer by. we reported on them. we did put them on the air. if they had come to us, i would like to think we would have done what bill did. but we would of been deliberate about it. he most trusts sad revolutionaries and you have to sometimes live in the contradictions in these moments in journalism. if you are reluctant to do anything that my even inadvertently compromise a life because you do not know who was being exposed, that is sure beginning. i assume they did everything they could predict then you just have to make your individual decision about how much time you have and what the proportion is. there was a lot of it that was -- you and i know this. i am sure he assumed no one had read his cable. i think that what we learn from them and we would have broadcast from them would have been what we thought illuminated the world. >> bill argued that he did it because it was news and after due diligence, he felt that however embarrassing invited into the u.s. government, it was news and he wanted to run with it. he

webster received his mba from northwestern university's keller graduate school of management and a ba in economics from the university of montana. ..some of you have seen me talk but most of you don't. so let me just give you a real brief history of the last couple years of my forecasting record. the past two years have been some of the best forecasting i have ever done in my career. which spans close to 30 years. 2008 was the worst year of forecasting. i have ever done. in fact, i thought we would avoid a recession in 2008. i really did. i'll talk about that in just a minute. but just in case you go on the web and look me up, you be find wesbury is clueless, he missed the recession, don't believe anything he says. et cetera. et cetera. but they don't say is that the past two years have been pretty darn good. now, that actually sets the stage for me this morning because the title of my talk is , did capitalism fail? and my belief is that our answer to that question will set the stage for the decade, the two years ahead that charles talked about last night. the decades ahead our childr
