it would apply to msnbc. not every viewer of msnbc is a hard core democrat, hard core liberal.hat do you make of the idea you have to reach out to those people? >> i think reaching out is one thing and having a grand debate, i love having a great debate about the issues and truly having a fight over whatever the news that topic of the day is. there's a difference between what sally experienced and what msnbc does. most of the time they don't have a republican there. they take a sound bite and destroy you with a sound bite sometimes taken out of context. if you go over there you're not really welcome. other showss, i would agree, at least people are nice to you, welcoming, they want you there, appreciate you there and want to hear your viewpoint whereas at msnbc they don't like you, they almost feel like you're just a random person that we're going to destroy for a couple of minutes and we're going to shut you down and tell you to stop talking and don't interrupt me. >> pretty terrible. >> that's one of the reasons -- >> yeah. it's, you know, i'm okay with defending what i belie

ratings for double cnn and msnbc. early in the reporting of the book i realized the way to tell the story is through the life and career of roger ailes because fox is a complete expression of his worldview. the network is shaped in his image and without roger ailes' unique talent, i don't think fox would be the success it is. it really developed and developed into a portrayed as ailes with fox news is a culmination of everything he'd worked towards and politics in show business and television. >> he said fox news is a political op duration. can you tell us what you mean by that? >> of course. it goes back to roger ailes. roger ailes is a political person. he got his start in television, but he owes his career to his work as the republican but a close strategist and a campaign adviser to republicans like mitch mcconnell, bill graham, george h.w. bush, ronald reagan and richard nixon who he worked for nick and 68. ailes thrived in the campaign. secrecy is paramount. driving for russia's competitiveness come all the thin

interesting is "msnbc" is not as good as fox. just as pure television producers that programming is not as compelling because they don't have roger ailes unique talents and his ability to foster conflict and his ability to pick talent. if you look at the talent ailes has picked. bill o'rielly was out of work and he came to fox and 96 and sean hannity had never hosted a television show. he sees personalities who are then take jump through the screen who viewers can relate to on an emotional visceral level where is "msnbc" is sometimes too caught up in being ideologically pure trying to win the ideological arguments rather than understanding television is about performance and drama. >> host: i think that "msnbc" would disagree with your phrase if they are purely ideological. they seem to attract a younger demographic and ailes has been quoted recently, he said he liked rachel maddow but didn't want to get her into trouble. i think they would disagree with you about how the programming comes across. back to the talent here. what do

msnbc is more of a business marketing issue but what i think is interesting is msnbc is not as good as fox. ask your television, the programming is not as compelling because they do not have the unique talent on the ability to foster conflict and the ability to pick talent. if you look at the talent he picked that they were often times -- they were often times personalities. bill o'reilly was out of work. sean hannity had never hosted an actual television show. steve was out of work. they see personalities that are authentic that jump through the screen on the emotional visceral level and msnbc gets too caught up in the ideologically pure rather than understanding the te type of vision is about performance and about the drama and spectacle. >> host: i think the people that msnbc would disagree with your proposal that they are purely ideological. they seem to be attracting the younger demographic. and ailes has been quoted i saw recently he said they asked how you reported an interview with him and he said he liked rachel matt although he didn't want to get her into trouble. i think tha

but with msnbc attacking it again and again and again, it almost seems like msnbc is taking the role of the prosecution. >> very accurate. a democratic governor offering here is what my guys said, i'm not responsible for this. i'd be screaming bloody murder. democrats have every right to say, wait a minute, this is your own guy. having said that, the guy who put this together, randy mastro -- >> and public at large. >> randy, the guy who put together this report, in addition to being deputy mayor of new york city was an assistant u.s. attorney, is basically considered one of the top litigators in new york city. he just put his credibility on the line with this report, meaning if at some point there's some memo that comes up that says the big guy said he definitely -- >> traffic problems in ft. lee. >> his reputation is ruined. you have to figure, mastro, chances are we're not going to find out much more than is in this report. >> is it fair, juan, for the media to reflect that somebody dismiss this as a whitewash? >> i think if you're in the news business, you're supposed to be skept

nbz sports is not an extension of msnbc, no matter what anyone may think about msnbc. >> but is the msnbc commentator imposing his personal views on sports? i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz. there were reports in the last 36 hours that some journalists in crimea have been beaten. the ap had some equipment confis indicatesed and a cnn correspondent told she would be kicked out of her hotel if she didn't stop broadcasting. given these difficulties and the diplomatic fol fog surrounding the situation in ukraine, our news organization is helping us you cut through that fog. >> what's happened here are the russian troops have come in. they've in essence taken the place over and told the ukrainians to sur renders their weapons. >> i saw soldiers for the first time in my life and i was scared. >> we put that to russian soldiers outside the ukrainian base. >> are you allowing the ukrainian army to go back and forth freely? >> they told us to stop asking questions and go away. >> that's a journalist you referred to, that journalist witnessed this paramilitary masked armed men basically taki

on the left msnbc, it's chris christie all the time.ten to hbo bill maher give rachel maddow a hard time with that. >> i have been in love with msnbc, which i am still in love with msnbc, but i tongue in cheek said i'm going to have to break up with you because you've become obsessed with another man, chris christie. >> i am obsessed with christie story unapologetically and will continue while amazing things in that story continue to happen. >> this is an actual scandal. it's not watergate. he's not the president. he's not even a guy who ever himself said he was going to be running for president. >> you heard that word, watergate. is it as big as rachel maddow seems to think it is. i brought in the best possible to ask, one half of the team that broke watergate open, carl bernstein, now a cnn commentator. welcome. >> good to be here. >> i was curious whether you agree more with bill maher or rachel maddow. >> i'm probably in the middle for a number of reasons, not least of which is that we're dealing here with ideologically driven cable

msnbc showed once again it's not really a news channel. it's been in taped programming much of the weekend. overall, there are few journalistic boots on the ground. i think the situation is murky and that makes it hard to cover. >> it is hard to cover unless you're covering it through social media. but i think this is going to be one of the biggest tests of president obama's career as president. and that the coverage that we're seeing is not as big as maybe arab spring and maybe because it broke on a saturday. yesterday was the day and there weren't a lot of people in the news room. i think you'll see a lot more on monday. but i also think our appetite for international news has not, as an american people, always been as strong. >> that is certainly true because the situation with the coup or the toppling of the prime minister in ukraine certainly has been brewing for some time now. and it's been covered, but it hasn't been a dominating story. now, the white house put out this photo. we could put it up on the screen as president obama havi

you're watching msnbc.ladimir putin just got the okay from his parliament to send troops into ukraine. some are already there. the latest from moscow, crimea and the united nations straight ahead. >>> plus -- >> take a look at how deep this mud is. four feet in some areas. that basketball rim, ten feet high. the concern is all of this rain and more mud which authorities fear over the next 48 hours could slide right downhill. >> a muddy mess in southern california where they've gotten more rain in the last three days than about the last 13 months combined. >>> health care reform and the need for it is bigger than any one person in our country. >> and some new insight into the woman who might be president. what the new documents from the clinton library could mean for the former first lady. >>> later, inside the zimmerman trial, what happened, what can we learn and what it means for "stand your ground." >>> plus -- it's the winter of potholes, thousands of them causing billions in damage to our cars. but wher

msnbc is great for helping him. --se jackson and al sharpton call them a racist if they don't agree with the president. can call him ae racist for not agreeing with the president. he hit the trifecta. this is something i do find really intriguing that happens on the right. name every black person you can think of that as a liberal and andthe word "racist" throw in "you people." he hit the trifecta. nothing to add. host: mike from ohio. the show onjoy msnbc. my favorite sport is ping-pong. i think that says a lot. why do you watch those two channels? caller: i want to see how both sides think and how their logic works. i was raised by a conservative democrat. i am an independent now. i like to vote for the best candidate. host: go ahead with your question. i liked the 2008 election when obama got elected. the impact it had on the republicans. i do have to hold both fox news and msnbc responsible for this. he made the winner of the , obaman -- all i saw was and oprah for 20 minutes. , what do they look like at this mo

msnbc are incorrect. msnbc is not opinion, it is facts. anything that is false, they retracted very fox news, that is false. a lot of that stuff is false. one thing i know but the media is that the things it put on our to boost ratings. i watch news about three hours a day. i am disabled. the caller to call before me was right about a lot of things he said. there is no perfect news on tv. there is no perfect news on the internet. i used to read seven newspapers, but i stopped because the newspapers are printing the most false stuff. they make more mistakes than any news. i am not putting them down, but i could tell you that msnbc is a good news station. a really do put out the news and facts. whoever made the statement about al sharpton's show is wrong. host: obama's agenda for all asia. it gets a bit trickier. usa today reports this morning on representative luis gutierrez ethics panels reviews. next call comes from bill in philadelphia. bill on our republican line. how do you consume your news? caller: good morning. i start with watching

i am a big msnbc fan.ms of my favorite candidates right now i am still a strong barack obama fan. host: why? caller: i stand behind him on everything he has ever done. host: why? caller: he came in there with a good, progressive, and logical candidacy. what he has tried to do has been terrific. of thebig supporter affordable care act. and everything else he has tried to do. host: why do you consider yourself a progressive or liberal? what term do you use? caller: i tend to use liberal when i am out talking with my friends. would use that because i was brought up in a christian my father and mother were very progressive. in the 1960's. my father was a minister in the south. he was way beyond his time when it came to civil rights and such. for example, when the black panthers marched through our town to demonstrate the civil rights movement, my dad had me and my brothers stand out in the front yard and shake these guys' hands. we were the only family in town that did that. he was the only minister in our inv

you're watching msnbc. they are on their way right now to search for flight mh-370 as the questions about what happened. as those questions grow, now we want to know, who was on that flight? >>> back in washington, president obama has been on the phone with world leaders about the crisis in ukraine even as the tensions in crimea grow thicker. >>> millions of american teenagers are playing the s.a.t. game today. but the change s coming to the test could also change the way that kids get into college. let's start with the breaking news overseas where rescue crews from several countries are still searching for that missing malaysian jetliner. the plane vanished two hours after taking off from kuala lumpur on its way to beijing. there were 227 passengers on board. three americans were on board. the airline's issued a new statement saying it has been more than 24 hours since we last heard from mh-370 at 1:30 a.m. the search and rescue team is yet to determine the whereabouts of the boeing 777 aircraft. also at t

so, welcome to the board chamber, as well as staff members from msnbc chris and ruby. so, today i'm really honored to present a commendation to megan. she embodied character, commitment, and courage at msnbc, it offers numerous free high quality program to youth and adults in san francisco's west side every year [speaker not understood]. and in addition to my remarks, we did prepare a few photos to show you some of the work that snbc has engaged in. if sfgov-tv can head over to the laptop, that would be great. thank you. since 2002 megan has served in numerous roles at msnbc as their safety network community organizer, director of community programs, deputy director and for the past three years as the executive director. msnbc's mission is to provide support and opportunities for youth and adults to ensure their healthy development. they worked really hard to connect people to their passion, potential, and community. under megan's leadership, snbc provides diverse services and programming to sunset families including after school programs, computer technology programs,

you're watching msnbc. today, search crews off the coast of australia have seen more than they have in the three weeks since flight 317 went missing. so now what? >> you can't get them to go home. they're looking for loved ones. mental toll is just having to sift through this and what they're finding. >> the number of missing in the washington state mudslide drops dramatically. significant news this afternoon in the grim search. >>> and in presidential politics, the push is on to put another bush in the white house but would jeb really want to move to washington? >>> and he is not only listened but learned and now he is taking action. >> owner of washington's nfl franchise making a move to make amends with native americans but many say it is just not enough. and what if you could capture, capture solar energy in outer space and beam it back here to earth? it may sound out of this world but it could be a reality and it's today's "big idea." whole heck of a lot to get to this afternoon but we start with the l

and steve kornacki, host of msnbc's "up with steve kornacki." steve kornacki, a warm enough reception for a guy who was banned from cpac last year. >> although, you know, when they was banned, there was always some question last year about how happy was he to be banned? and maybe he was -- there was a request put in to be banned. his political operation last year is to roll up as big a possible margin as you can in a blue state so that in 2014, he could go to cpac, he could go to other national -- >> no new jersey votes for him to win at cpac last year. >> that's right. but there are conservatives, theoretically, the home game plan had it there were conservative minds to be won over by 2014, won a state where barack obama won by 17 points. it's politically safer to be here this year than last year. >> one of his accomplishments he mentioned in a state of the budget address in new jersey that he didn't mention today at cpac was that he has greatly expanded the medicaid rolls in new jersey by adopting and accepting the expansion of medicaid under

n is onea rumor grayso outburst away from qualifying for his own weekend show on msnbc. [laughter] i am not even talking about "lockup." shades oftle, "50 grayson." of this rumor was harry reid, it is probably bs. are you fired up by senator cru z? [applause] to introduce our next speaker. he was the republican's point man in its exposing obamacare.

both are proud and needed msnbc political analysts. gentleman, i want you to look at a couple things. here is a political candidate, a republican out in arizona going after the social safety net. if you want to see by the way how hell bent some republicans are, take a look at this. buzzfeed is reporting this arizona congressional republican candidate, his name is jim brown, went on a racially charged rant earlier this week by comparing social safety net programs to slavery. here's what i wrote. i want folks to think seriously about how slavery really works. back in the day, slaves were kept in slavery by denying them education and opportunity while providing them with their basic needs. it is my sin sheer belief that over entitlements are a means of enslaving the people by robbing opportunity and denying people by taking care of their basic needs. brown apologized yesterday for those remarks there is still this sympathy, john heilemann. you constantly hear republicans say we've got to cut entitlements. it seems like republicans better

next question, please, i have never watched msnbc. i will start watching it as long as your face is there. the other thing is that i want to say on my third question is that can you come to oklahoma city and tulsa? >> host: thank you very much. >> guest: i would love to come to tulsa. yes, you can. there are certain issues that should unite everyone. one is the need to create an economy ruined it wants a job and find one and a good one and a job where you can feed your family without having to work two or three jobs and people are standing of the feed all they're doing the backbreaking work that makes this economy work and deserved have a decent living wage. we should all be able to agree on that. most americans to across the political divide. it is only fair that people were targeted decent wage. i don't think that is ideological. we should all agree that we all deserve to breathe clean, free air and have clean water. i looked at a situation like west virginia and say, for god's sakes, this is not a republican and democratic issue. i

on msnbc. it's called "why we did it." what a great question.ce from rachel's work. >> 11 days into office, bush assembles his national security team for the first time. along with the vice president and national security adviser condoleezza rice, the principles include secretary of state colin powell, defense secretary donald rumsfeld, and treasury secretary paul o'neill. >> paul o'neill opened up everything for the book i wrote about him in the bush administration, including 19,000 documents. and in the first national security council meeting of the bush presidency, january 30th of 2001, o'neill arrives with colin powell. >> according to suskind, the focus of the meeting that day is the middle east, iraq. >> immediately there is talk of the arab-israeli conflict. and then bush says, well, you know, i don't think much is going to be done over there. and then bush says well, what do you think the big issue in the region is? condi rice says i think iraq is the big issue in this region, the destabilizing force. and that's going to be our focus. ch

for more, watch "your business" sunday mornings at 7:30 on msnbc. if i can impart one lesson to a new business owner, it would be one thing i've learned is my philosophy is real simple american express open forum is an on-line community, that helps our members connect and share ideas to make smart business decisions. if you mess up, fess up. be your partners best partner. we built it for our members, but it's open for everyone. there's not one way to do something. no details too small. american express open forum. this is what membership is. this is what membership does. how was prugh.ce? that bad? i dropped 2 balls, mom. eye on the ball! that's all it is. eye on the ball. that's a good tip. i'll try it. by the way, bill... this is delicious! so many grilled tastes and textures. and all the nutrition i need. go on. no really. top notch.

[ chuckles ] wife beats rock.

you can see that fox gained a little bit, msnbc lost a little bit. the headline here is that cnn gained a lot. and this has been even more pronounced in the 25 to 54-year-old demographic. that's the one is thaets advertising rates and pays the bills around here. you can see the difference before and since the plane disappeared. cnn's ratings have just about doubled. now, television executives should not be blinded by ratings. but they cannot be blind to them either. that's the reality of the news business. joining me now to discuss this is james fallows, national correspondent for "the atlantic," and andrew beaujon, a media blogger for the pointer institute. thank you for being here. james, you were on in the first couple of hours of coverage on the missing plane on the piers morgan program. i haven't seen you on television since. have you been avoiding the bookers' calls? >> i have indeed. i appreciate the attention especially from cnn bookers, but my position has been i don't particularly know anything more about this story, even though i lived in

joining me now congressman emanual cleveland and msnbc's karen finney. thank you for being here. congressman, paul ryan says there is a culture of men not working in inner cities. he even said generations not thinking about working. what is your reaction? >> well, i'm so disappointed in chairman ryan. and i'm saying this very, very seriously. it is my hope that he really doesn't mean what he said. it is my hope that he just doesn't know people in the inner city. you and i grew up in the central city. i grew up extreme ely poor in one point in my childhood. i never heard anybody say this is fun and i am enjoying this. let's see how to get other people to join us. most people in poverty are struggling every day to get out. i think it is an insult to hear what chairman ryan said. the other thing is that 200,000 people who are not receiving unemployment insurance who were in iraq or afghanistan, they are not a part of inner city culture. they are men and women who put their lives on the line, they come home, out of a job and frankly out of luck because this congress is not trying in

let's play the bite where george will is talking about msnbc and chris christie. >> msnbc has been a benefit to christie. msnbc has at most a one-track mind and it has been just obsessed with him. and my enemy's enemy is my friend so a lot of people are warming up to him. >> there is obviously a lot more reporting to come about chris christie and the various scandals in new jersey. but that point is very important, i think. that if you rally against the media, and in particular against msnbc, you're going to score a lot of opponents with conservatives. >> it should be noted chris christie has a lot of friends in the media too, that gave him awfully nice coverage. so in some cases biting the hand that feeds him. >> and by the way, a whole lot of reporters at cpac covering the conference, even though there's lots of media criticism that comes out of these gatherings, there is also a ton of coverage of it. >> we can take a few punches. dana, there's another story again just coming out over the last few minutes about this conference and another big speaker, paul ryan. explain to me what

if you really want to see it, you can go and look at the whole thing on msnbc. the original focus of the segment was to look at the substantive concerns around extending the aca enrollment deadline which many conservatives have criticized. today, the white house announced that more than 6 million americans have signed up for plans since october 1st and analysts expect a rush of enrollments to continue. as last night's interview moved away from the policy question about what's wrong with extending that deadline for those who tried to enroll earlier. there were also claims that were not accurate. most notably, she said under the aca medicaid expansion involves raising the poverty level to, quote, people making $94,000 a year. >> bumping up medicaid eligibility from 100% of poverty line to 103% of poverty line so working poor people can get health insurance, what's the objection to that? >> i have a real problem when you talk about raising the poverty level. that's people making $94,000 a year. they're not poor. that's taking resources from the poor. the expansion

you're watching msnbc. the prime minister of ukraine says russian troops in crimea amounts to a declaration of war. so, what's the next move? >> at the end of the day, russia needs to be isolated. >> call it what it is. this is a government of liars, the russian government. >> i would like to create a democratic noose around putin's russia. >> what's vladimir putin really up to? we'll talk to a former ambassador and get some expert insight. plus, live reports from the region. meanwhile, back here in the united states, snow is now more unpopular than congress and there's yet another winter storm baring down on much of this country right now. this one could wallop as many as 139 million people. then, later -- >> this is an issue of national importance. it is as important as any issue that i work on. it's an issue that goes to the very heart of why i ran for president. >> president obama's new initiative to help young black men, what the post-racial president's announcement this week could mean. also, the new

yeah. >> msnbc takes you behind the >> msnbc takes you behind the walls of america's most notorious prisons of chaos and danger. now, the scenes you've never seen, "lockup: raw." >> there are lines nearly everywhere you look in prison and jail. >> it's a long time. >> inmates move in lines. containment lines. but there are also invisible lines. lines between right and wrong. >> someone shot her seven times. she was tortured. wa

these are live images coming into msnbc.ion of the large building completely collapsed there. debris has been scattered along nearby train tracks and what is now a five-alarm fire. nbc news has also learned that 16 people were taken to the hospital, four of them with what's being described as serious injuries. again, you're looking at two live vantage points of this scene that's been going on now for about an hour. joining me live on the phone is mitch abreu, who was working at a nearby barbershop when he heard the explosion. are you there? >> yes, i'm here. >> tell me what you're seeing right now. >> right now, a lot of police outside, k-9 units out here, i

going to continue to follow the latest on the search throughout the hour here on "disrupt" and on msnbc throughout the evening. coming up next, polls has just closed in ukraine as crimeans voted on whether or not to return to russian control. what that means for vladimir putin and president obama here at home. this...is jane. her long day on set starts with shoulder pain... ...and a choice take 6 tylenol in a day which is 2 aleve for... ...all day relief. hmm.
