has anybody here ever met florence murdoch? in the course of doing this, i've got this vision of one of the dar types, sort of feeling forward about this hike on the very buxom in a dar woman always were completely blue dresses and made a. at any rate, it started stuck in my mind the way. in any event, disney never replied in the second corrections murdoch requested was never made a mess just as well because that is guardian angel, and disney's "johnny appleseed" would never have the cushion to leave his farm near pittsburgh much less the ohio river in the northwest territory. a hostile environment and cut the muscle of the breath or chest, ludicrous on the face of it to join the pioneer. having last. worst based on even a hint of the intellectual depth and intensity that john chapman would've needed to wrestle his way into swedenborg's truth as he obviously did. but that's hollywood. my 5-year-old grandson adored the cartoon as fibrils have been doing now for six decades, more than six decades. and what's more is the disney st

has anybody here ever met florence murdoch? in the course of doing this i have got this vision of her as one of the stalwarts types, you know sort of barreling forward, very buxom made. dr. women were completely loose dresses in my day. that just sort of stuck in my mind. in an advanced disney never applied and the last section -- second corrections were never made and that is just as well because without his guardian angel disney's johnny appleseed never would have gathered the come hsinchu lead this nonexistent farm near pittsburgh marks was crossed the ohio river into the wilderness of the northwest territory. in disney's the old settler johnny john appleseed and johnny's angel poor johnny is quote such a sawed-off scrawny fellow despite being by all accounts exactly the average height of his time at five feet nine inches and weren't no pioneer he noted notwithstanding the fact he walked across the mountains mountains of pennsylvania, survived earl winters in a hostile environment and quote ain't got the muscle or the breadt

owned the rupert murdoch owned wall street journal launched their own leaking website called safe house but is this going to be enough to cut out wiki leaks to inspire whistleblowers to come to their site instead it doesn't seem so if you look at the fine print in the wall street journal's terms of conditions those leakers who choose to remain anonymous must first enter into a confidentiality agreement that states that any information sent to the journal can be used in any purpose as in they hold the right to disclose any information about the leaker to law enforcement authorities without notice in order to comply with laws and safe house leakers have to agree not to use the service for any unlawful purpose so does this has destroyed the basic principles of anonymity aligned with leaking and doesn't serve as a vindication for wiki leaks joining me to discuss it is eric schwartz executive director of demand progress dot org errant thanks again for coming back on the show for starters detrain really do you think that we think has really changed the playing field over the last year and now

rupert murdoch, for all the criticism he gets, is invested in the media and innovation. mike bloomberg is doing a ton of stuff through his company. they are hiring hundreds of people. i worked at bloomberg 15 years ago, and i was in europe as a foreign correspondent. there were 40 journalists, and now, there are thousands. i think it depends on the interests of certain people, but they are being tapped, and you can get them to lend to foundations and do this type of stuff. it is just creating the bridge from the journalism world into that world, and it is not as hard as you would think, in my experience. >> i would just say that a few of those individuals you had mentioned are not examples of the types of progress of journalism that i think a lot of people are here to talk about and listened of route -- was it about. these guys are kind of villains in a sense of where we want journalism to go. fox news and the daily, who knows where that is going to go, but they are not necessarily public-interested, public radio, public tv, public press minded people. >> that is an opin

we started broadcasting out of hong kong with what is now rupert murdoch's star television. it was then owned by hutchison wam po, the lee kai shing family in hong kong. [narrator] how television develops in asia will be critical to the future of the new global media empires that are being created. i think that audiences all over the world are going to take time to become attuned to the concept of international news. people are still principally interested in what's happening in their own patch, even if that patch is very big. so it is going to take us time to develop in, as far as television is concerned, the international idea, but i do think that idea is beginning to grow, and i think more and more people will want the news from a different perspective. cnn has been very successful from an american point of view over the last 14 or 15 years in building up an international perspective, albeit based from the american point of view, and i think now is the time for a british point of view to come forward in the same way. the other thing we have to be careful about is the fear

we have seen a lot of efforts, but things like rupert murdoch's daily have not excited us on a journalistic level. but i think we are laying groundwork for some institutions that they possibly do that in the next three to five years. >> i'm wondering what you think it would take for it to go to that next level and provide quality journalism. >> i just want to offer a slight difference of opinion. i think that we are seeing a couple of things happen right now. they are positive things that are happening. while it may be true that the first wave of online-only journalism tended to be national and international criticism and opinion, which got the name of blogs, what we are actually seeing of the local level is something even more exciting than that. as newspapers have become challenged, and we have seen, sadly, the destruction of capabilities of newspaper and local television stations and other media in the local arena, we are seeing a new layer journalism being created at the local level. some startups such as the "bases and close " in san francisco, "texas tribune" out in texas -- there hav

facebook google's eric schmidt jeff bezos of amazon microsoft is going to be represented and rupert murdoch for some reason we're also be in attendance but is there any chance of the two we're going to see eye to eye or is this the beginning of an internet versus a government war on a global scale you and me to discuss this is aaron swartz executive director of demand progress dot org eric thanks so much for joining us tonight for starters is this tell you really how big these tech giants have become in this world that now they're meeting with world leaders of the eight largest industrialized nations i mean that's that's pretty incredible right there now at the highest political level that you can possibly achieve you think it deserves. oh i think it's definitely deserved i mean we've seen our economy now on the minute he runs around these big companies they're some of the biggest companies in the stock market in the industry and so it's just natural that of course the way car companies met with political leaders of old now are meeting with the people who run these internet companies or the

companies here's your opportunity to make or lot of money which is why of course billionaire rupert murdoch's fox news is feeding this delusion they don't want to remember that we live in a democracy of for and by we the people they want to think that instead of the government we should rely on the wealthy banks toure's or oil barons or health insurance executives to do what's right for us because they're not the go but somehow they're like us but they aren't like us in fact they are the exact people with thomas jefferson warned us so when he insisted that protection against monopolies inserted into the constitution. says the birth of this nation the thing that separated america from the rest of the world was it's a galaxy area democracy it was the crowning achievement of mankind for two hundred years until the one nine hundred eighty s. when i suddenly became a vile beast because ronald reagan told us it was time to end this toxic strain of thinking and reassert ourselves into our own government again and kick out the transnational corporations the millionaires and billionaires who ruined de

rupert murdoch just told me he was last year during the nixon administration, and he met henry kissingerrun, and the reason it has worked is because we have people from los angeles, new york, all around the world. the dinner is fantastic, but you don't really get to go around and meet other people. you really are kind of with your group and you can sort of look at around at the pre parties and after parties, but this is where you are in a private setting. you stroll at garden brunches. we are here for cure epilepsy and a white ribbon alliance. what they do is, they have groups all round the world and they say mothers from dying in childbirth. literally, they are midwives. it is so important that we bring attention to the calls. cure epilepsy -- there is not a lot of research on what causes it and how to find a cure. we have some surprises. you'll have to wait for that. >> how are you? >> good to see you. >> this is your first correspondents' dinner out of the white house. >> can we get the four of you out of the sun? >> we promised him last night. >> that is his formal attire. >> can we

what is fascinating about this is that many of her associates including a fellow who was -- william murdoch who was from scotland too, is deported but at a later period of time and they are deported because of the red scare. there were people that she worked with in the 1920s that are deported in the 1950s and they are only connection to the communist party was they were in a textile strike in massachusetts in 1928. but it made great publicity for the government to throw out all of these individuals. the reason she is not supported i think it's because in 193-5436 she marries a hungarian and so her last name changes dramatically from ellen dawson to ellen. one i found her obituary in the paper just said mrs. lewis canty, scotland native, no mention whatsoever of all of her radical activities. this is passaic new jersey where she had been involved in all of that. so it is kind of fascinating that she sort of gets hidden away or tucked away. i think in the long run is why she survived. in the 1930s -- remember the 1930s as the great depression and most workers are struggling to survive. i thi

they include business leaders like rupert murdoch and the c.e.o.'s of companies like microsoft or pfizer. now, there are some who oppose the dream act and argue that we need to enhance border security first. i can certainly make the argument, as the president did yesterday, that we have done extraordinary things, more than doubling the number of people at the border, adding technical devices to detect people who are trying to cross, using drones and building fences. we have gone as far as i think i can imagine, but i am open -- i have told a republican senator this morning, i am open to any reasonable suggestion to make the border safer. but i say to my friends on the other side of the aisle, if we show good faith in border enforcement, can you join us by showing good faith in helping to pass the dream act? i don't think that's an unreasonable exchange. i am open to their ideas, i hope that they're open to the idea of the dream act. i also have to say that many of the young people who are affected by this have been dramatically positive in their con

let's say that rupert murdoch was put in the bush administration and was given some tarp money or something like that, do you suppose the media would be quiet about that? host: bob, you are taking it in a different direction. let's stick with guantanamo bay. host: those the taint -- guest: they do have the right of habeas corpus. many of them have filed with attorneys these petitions, which essentially just forces the government to explain why they are being held and what the grounds are. judges have ruled on a number of these cases. in fact, for the majority, judges have ruled in favor of the detainees and said they must be released. many of those are now on appeal. some people have been released at the order courts in washington. host: here is a clear message from james. -- which are message from james. -- twitter message from james. guest: there is a controversy over whether you to treat terrorism as a crime or an act of war. so, these guys are being treated, essentially, as prisoners of war, as opposed to being charged with specific crimes and taken to federal court. host: independent c

i remember one time when bush's uncle was program president of fox news, run by rupert murdoch, who hasnterests in saudi arabia. we need to look at previous interest to see what is going on, people in the elite selling our secrets to the enemy. host: we are talking about osama bin laden being killed this morning. colm lines are divided regionally this morning. st. louis, you are on the air, go ahead. caller: it is odd for me to celebrate. i celebrate the accomplishment of our men and women in uniform in accomplishing this task that has been daunting for a decade now. i understand the importance of osama bin laden's death. but he was not the head of a snake. he was the symbol used to keep conspiring in recruiting people who still share that mind-set. who's still have that stoned in their heart -- who still have that stone in their heart regarding religious freedom. that is just one segment of people. i would like to point out that this is one segment of people who share that view. we have got people that are not muslims that share a similar, like-minded view, who may not be as violent. w

president obama out of office, because there is a conservative bent in israel equivalent to the rupert murdochent here. caller: why did president obama. this time to address? it seems that israel is in a relatively peaceful time in their existence. why now with everything going on in the rest of the middle east? host: before we get a response, what do you speculate? caller: i have no idea. it looks like it was piling on the things that he has on his plate as point. host: part of why you're here. guest: there are a couple of reasons. the administration has been struggling on dealing with the arab spring, the wave of revolutions sweeping the arab world. there was a lot pressure to articulate a policy and vision that wraps up their myriad approaches two countries into one coherent thought process. it is something they have been wanting to do for a long time. the israeli -- the palestinian part is interesting because the aipac conference comes every year. netanyahu comes every year and gives a big speech. there was a feeling that if he is going to make a big speech, we need to. netanyahu is going

robert gates for the dream act, general colin powell -- a man i respect very, very much -- rupert murdoch, a very conservative republican businessman supports it. and the c.e.o.'s of companies like microsoft and pfizer. every day i hear from another one of these dreamers. they come up to me sometimes very quietly and sometimes very publicly and tell me their stories. just the other day a young man came up to me as i was leaving a speech and said, here in washington, and he said, senator, i just want to let you know i'm finishing law school. i can't be licensed in america because i'm not an american citizen. i'll just pursue my education until you pass the dream act. i thought about it, this poor young man deserves a chance to use his education, not just to continue it. so that gives me more of an incentive to really work on this issue. let me tell you the story tonight in just a few minutes here about two of these dreamers. this is juan gomez. this handsome young man was brought to the united states from colombia in 1990 at the age of two. he is an academic all-star. at killian senior hig
