are all reporters liberals? >> guest: not all, but--but there's an overwhelming liberal bias in the--in the media. it's not any--it's not a conspiracy. it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. there's simply shared assumptions. you know, i--bernard goldberg, a friend of mine who worked at cbs news, put it best, i think. he said, 'you walk into a room, a party on the upper west side of manhattan, with a bunch of network journalists, and if you, for example, say something which questions abortion, it's not people are angry; they're surprised. it--it simply doesn't happen in their circle. the assumption is--i mean, they will--they will drop remarks about, you know, various conservative politicians and assume that everyone agrees. and it--so it really works that way. c-span: why is it? >> guest: it's a very complicated question. i think, for one thing, people drawn to journalism tend to be very narcissistic. they tend to come from a certain segment of society. they're--they're people who--who kind of want to live vicario

we not see so richly what was laid there with the help of the liberal justices. that is why the question has come up so much in the texas affirmative action case. did the justice sign off on the opinion that could lead down the road to a complete undercutting of affirmative action because of the suggested changes in the fisher case. it is interesting how everything is built on precedent there, for better or for worse. it is not just a matter of the law, but how justices will do look at in the future. >> it is not a warning shot exactly, but citizens united having laid waste to the expenditure side campaign finance regulation is now a first step in chipping away at the contribution side. >> anyone else? we wait for your potential questions. joe? >> hi. i hope this is not a semantic quibble. we use the terms conservative and liberal as if they make sense for the voting block on the court. left and right might be a little more accurate. but for conservatives who ruled for corporations over an individual, is a classic conservative position. i want to ask about the te

abe's liberal democratic party wants to revise article 96 first. the article says modifying the constitution requires a two-thirds vote by lawmakers in both houses of the diet, followed by a national referendum. abe argues a simple majority in both houses should be enough. liberal democrats also want to change article 9, which prohibits japan from having a military. they want to change japan's self-defense force into a military. >> translator: i think that japanese people are starting to consider amending the constitution as a political issue for the first time. >> reporter: but the ldp leaders face a hurdle. their longtime coalition partner new komeito, is cautious on changing the constitution. >> translator: we would like to consider how to further improve the constitution. we think the current constitution is a good one. >> reporter: but new komeito says it's willing to discuss the matter. abe wants to persuade them somehow to support the amendment. abe has also been seeking support within the opposition democratic party. some members favor a re

or mudd's more liberal than their parents or grandparents. i think in governor romney's case, my guess is that it's quite possible that his very tough rhetoric on china and that of turning off a lot of folks in the chinese community and like i said earlier these days there are a lot of chinese immigrants who are very nationalistic about china. and there are also lots of americans who disagree with governor romney's proposals on what to do with china. i don't agree with him 100% on many issues but i think if you are somebody who is very nationalistic about china or your heritage and you hear one of the political candidates constantly talking about china and getting tough with china. i have no doubt that governor romney was talking about getting tough with the chinese communist regime that often voters don't make that distinction. they might think that governor romney is being anti-china and they might think well maybe he is anti-chinese so that is simply a guess. i think somebody would have to do a study and actually ask folks why they voted t

the liberal democrats and new komeito control two-thirds of the lower house seats. abe hopes a strong showing in the upper house election will get him to, or close to, two-thirds in the chamber. he says he plans to build a broad coalition of lawmakers who support constitutional change. but some regard abe as being too hawkish and worry that the changes will cause friction with japan's neighbors. polls suggest that many voters are still wondering whether the constitutional changes or amendments are even necessary. we'll see just how they feel about this and other key issues in a couple of days. >> and masayo will be part of our team covering the election this sunday. our special program, japan decides, begins at 7:10 p.m. japan time. after the polls close at 8:00 p.m. we'll combine our exit poll data with information our journalists gather across the country to project the winners. do stay with "newsline" for the latest results and analysis. >>> nhk world's special coverage of japan's upper house election is just a click or tap away. we're adding a host of features t

really loves their liberator. and the origins of the difficult fraught french-american relationship really dates back to the liberation of 1934. >> host: how so? >> guest: the french felt humiliated. the french are rather thin-skinned and, actually, the americans were rather thick-skinned, you know? the g. i.s would throw out packets of cigarettes or whatever, they felt that they should automatically have their way with the women and that, of course, presented huge resentments particularly amongst french men, and there was a lot of, there was a lot of, shall we say, ill feeling on both sides. and i think that that's carried on. i mean, they were greeted with tremendous enthusiasm, of course, actually at the liberation. but things turned south very, very quickly afterwards. >> host: is there any record of how many french women had american babies as you mentioned 20,000 nazis? >> guest: no, i don't think -- i haven't actually seen a figure. be interesting to know, but i don't think it was as many. >> host: why was

than he is conceived of in the west and the west of all me is is presented as a poster boy for a liberal opposition. and he's commonly referred to as the most popular leader of the liberal opposition and a potential threat to the president for the facts on the ground really don't lay this out the russians really aren't that interested in in the hype the brand of politics he's selling them and that's because what is often on presented in the west is holds what could be considered in the west as quite extreme ethnic nationalist racist zina phobic views of what is could be considered extreme rights including gun rights advocacy and the like. well if expand this discussion to bring in our two contributor option rotund zs sir thank you for joining us i'm curious can you describe their reaction to this verdict outside of russia. the b.b.c. that is the state run the british broadcasting corporation calls it russia's mandela and they've been running stories all day just previously you know bill keller the executive editor of the new york times used to this man you know novell me you already outl

with joe madison in just a moment and mainstream democrats and many leading pundits in the so-called liberal media have spent the past month attacking n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden these same people have been as kneejerk in their defense of the n.s.a. and the president george w. bush were the one in office. you need to know this if you're white killing a black person in the united states within states with stand your ground laws is pretty much legal when you claim self-defense a recent comparative study conducted by p.b.s.'s frontline and the urban institute justice policy center found that in non stand your ground states whites are two hundred fifty percent more likely to be found justified in killing a black person than a white person who kills another white person in stand your ground states that number jumps to three hundred fifty four percent. on saturday a seven all county florida jury added to that statistic but it found george zimmerman not guilty of the murder of seventeen year old trayvon martin although the prosecution never said so during the three week trial race is at the

that much i know about liberal arts colleges here. we had a good time. other reactions include campus forms on this, roundtables, other things, maybe the funniest one is heather wilson, who is a former congressman from new mexico and she wrote me from the south south dakota school of mines for which we have great praise in the book. she said please come to the winter commencement in rapid city. she said it's december 21, rapid city, and i said maybe not. [laughter] >> she said that we recognize the budget and i said that my salary is public information. $62,500. the average graduate makes $63,500. so anyway, if they buy me the boots i will go in december. the report shortly after this came out and go the main themes of the book and we were very good to hear that and we were delighted in the brookings institution when they said the following. college can be were that provided the student graduates and goes to the right school. this is very much along the lines that we wrote in an editorial that college can still be worth it for the right price at the righ

on the san francisco political spectrum of either liberal or more liberal or really liberal on one ofhose scales, by the san francisco standards i'm probably considered a fairly law & order kind of guy. i'm probably not by natural standards but by city standards. i think when it comes to nightlife, we view it too much from a law enforcement perspective. although law enforcement is a critical stakeholder in nightlife policy, i think law enforcement is playing too dominant a role and anytime we are doing anything the first question is about law enforcement. as opposed to law enforcement plus these other four things. i think we need to take a much more balanced approach in that respect. we also need to empower our entered at -- entertainment commission to do it's job and i will hear the board tomorrow to extend live performance to dj's and creating more outdoor music and granting and effectively manage issues when they come up and by having a more effective entertainment commission which has made great strides, we are going to be that much the better for it. i look forward to working wit

five percent with that are liberal and would be supporters of the volley against the verdict in this particular instance so i don't think you'll see any big reaction from russian society at all however we can expect the western mainstream media. and several western governments to keep opprobrium on the verdict. and to. basically claim that in the fall he has been on fairly sentences i think that russia are actually paying attention to some of the particulars of the case and they are similar within the ball me as a political figure in quite a different way than he has conceived of in the west in the west the of all the is is presented as a poster boy for a liberal opposition and he's a commonly referred to as the most popular leader of the liberal opposition and a potential threat to president putin the facts on the ground really don't lay this out even after the trial and they may or all race which of all me has been running in. the only is known by still only thirty two percent of russians and that's after a lot of heavy t.v. and newspaper coverage russians really aren't that intere

liberal political and social inflammations. but i think in this area there is nothing more important than trying to put the stuff aside, really try to put aside what side your on in the ideological battles of washington. i mean, that is why when one talks about the subpoena being served recently by the obama administration, the obama administration goes to court and gets a search warrant to search the home telephone numbers, the tom e-mails of fox news correspondent in washington. he tells a federal judge that the correspondence the his slightly guilty of violating the is peanut shack because he has too many questions of someone in the government who was empowered to know certain secret matters. he asked to much. lord demented talking. flattered them. he did all these things that journalists do to get stories. but that could be a crime. that is what they said to persuade a judge to enter an order allowing a search of the e-mails. i think it is really important to to put aside who anyone voted for on something like that and simi

they were dismissive of liberals, women and minorities. so in general people didn't like how this islamist government was ruling. they also feared that they would try to islamize the state, make it more islamist. and we saw that in the new constitution which they pushed through in january in which many of the clauses were once again not very respectful of women, minorities and others. and so i think egyptians just rose up and said weon't like the direction egypt is going in. it's not because we don't love muslims, most of us are muslims. but we don't like the idea of an islamist egypt. >> that's interesting. what about the copts, the christians there? what's going on with them? >> well, they're much relieved today. they suffered under the morsi government for the past year. what democracy did in egypt was it brought into office more islamists and islamists that are more i would say radical than the muslim brotherhood who call christians heretics and who were responsible for attacks against christian businesses and churches and homes. but m

friends and more liberal political and social inclinations. but in this area there is nothing more important than to put that stuff aside, really what side you are on with the ideological but battle in washington when one talks about the subpoena to be served recently it goes to court to to get a search warrant to search the home telephone numbers of the fox news correspondent in washington to tell a federal judge that the correspondent is likely and guilty of violating the espionage act because he asked to many questions of someone in the government that was in power to know certain matters he asks too much and it flattered him and that that could be a crime and that is what they said in order to persuade the id judge to enter the order to allow a search of the e-mail's it is too important to put aside to anyone voted for on something like an ad and similar the with citizens united the protests around the abortion clinics people who are more liberal think the women ought to have the right to decide to have an abortion. many conservative peopl

and i always like to point out that those of us who are involved in the black liberation movement and communist movement, we really, truly believe that a revolution was possible, and we thought it was going to happen soon because we saw this happening. we saw the cuban revolution. we saw the of a kaven liberation struggle in africa, and we believe that it was possible to do that here, but i believe that you always need that relationship to go and often be passionate about it. we were naive, but i do believe na nah teefity was necessary and that's why young people play such an important part in transform tiff movements everywhere because oftentimes they refuse to believe that it's not possible, and i like to points out that even though we did not win the revolution, we thought we were struggling for, we did bring about dramatic change. >> what i've come to realize over the years is that in the process of struggling for freedom, our very notion of freedom broadened and it becomes more qaa patience and it begins to include so much more and perhaps that's what it's all about. perhaps, you

liberals are giving alec baldwin a pass because he's a liberal. he's a big liberal.e's hillary rosen you see her on cnn all the time. great person. hillary says what he said was disgusting but he has a deeper reservoir of goodwill among folks because he's been a progressive ally and a fighter for progressive causes for years. alec baldwin gets a pass. paula deen gets the shaft. is that fair? i don't think so it is. 1-866-55-press. i think paula deen was mistreated. but certainly if she loses her sponsors because of her anti-black slurs, i think that alec baldwin will lose his sponsors because of his anti-gay slurs. what's fair is fair. i think for progressives and liberals, we've got to be equally willing to criticize our own as we are people that we may not agree with philosophically. anderson cooper who, of course, is an openly gay man on cnn has come out and says why why why should alec baldwin be treated differently? why the double standard for alec baldwin? good question. >> i agree. he should have to answer for that. >> bill: yeah, i would an happy man if i nev

they believed in liberation.t that time, the left attacked conservatives as or madras and they would lead the world to war and that was the constant refrain if reagan got elected president. instead, we had worldwide liberation. at least 500 million people in eastern europe suddenly could leave and move from country to country and enjoys some freedoms that we enjoy. he gave great -- you gave great answers. this and these are the principles of the modern day conservative movement. when someone talks about the conservative movement, these are the values we're talking about. these are values worth fighting for. these are values that ensure that you have freedom in your life and potentially freedom and the lives of your families and fellow citizens. the left no longer even says that there should be free exercise of religion. they use a different terminology. i hope you never forget desperate both president obama and former secretary of state hillary clinton in all the public speeches say they believe in freedom of wor

it doesn't advance liberalism. not only does it not advance liberalism, it exposes it for the fraud that it is." >> well, look. i mean i think there is a phenomenon where people respond to these trials in terms of this racial reflex. it is very ugly and i agree with jonathan that the o.j. case, the reaction is something different but probably parallel on the other side. trials are terrible proxies for issues or any kind of sentiment of that kind because they -- they're subject to a different standard of truth and proof. all the jury ruled was that the government did not prove george zimmerman guilty of murder or manslaughter beyond a reasonable doubt. that's the decision they had to make. but at the same time, i do think that there is -- there are larger issues that come into play here obviously and it is not an appropriate discussion. when i heard the rush limbaugh quote at the beginning i was thinking i actually agree with him in part in the sense that liberals are winning on a lot of issues and they often act as
