well despite all that fox news one of murdoch's companies apparently mandated that their employees are frayne from talking about gun control altogether new york magazine reports at the executive producer in charge of weekend coverage that quote is that work isn't going there and quote we were expressly forbidden from talking about gun control what a country embroiled in debate over the role of guns in our culture how could you ignore it to discuss i'm joined now by christopher chambers journalism professor at georgetown university chris great to have you there you so first off i guess what do you think has fox done a disservice to the public. in a nutshell i mean this is policy that comes down from above from you not from michael clemente the editorial director but from roger ailes and you know you have to understand there's a couple of seems at work here ailes and rupert murdoch don't see eye to eye on everything as a matter of fact ailes is probably seen murdoch drift a little bit even he's facetiously even blame that on murdoch's wife wendi who's young supposedly progressive person

maybe we should have one entity, maybe rupert murdoch should own all media in america. he can do it very, very cost effectively. is that what we want? the fcc is not dealing with widget production. it is dealing with the issue of how we create a vibrant democracy, where people hear all points of view and can come up with the best decisions that we can as a nation. >> would that be your response to the argument that the other side makes that the fcc is strangling, with slow regulations, america's competitiveness in the world? and that if we continue to tighten these regulations, they will not be able to find their place in the world market? >> bill, do you know where i heard that exact same explanation, defense? i heard it when wall street wanted deregulation. "we have to be competitive in the entire global economy. let's deregulate wall street so we can compete internationally." i don't believe that for a second. look, the issue is we live in a country where millions of people really have not had the opportunity to learn about the dynamics of what goes on in american so

. >> stephen: okay so, if petraeus ran for president murdoch would pay for it, ailes would manage it, and fox news would sell it though their audience. now if you think about it, a news network choosing the candidate sounds like a conflict of interest. so don't think about it. because it's not really about conflict of interest. ailes said he did it because the republican field needed to be shaken up. so it was really just worried about casting his reality show. as a tv producer ailes was trying to avoid a repeat of 2008 when republicans nominated this cranky old guy who-- how to make a star. like watching a matlock marathon about who killed the economy. they couldn't save the john mccain show even by making his running mate honey boo boo. (laughter) now unfortunately, i think that's who that is. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: honey boo boo, a dollah makes me holda. now unfortunately, petraeus turned down roger ailes, i assume, to spend more time not making eye contact with his family. but folks, that does not mean ailes shouldn't try this again in 2016 or that other networks should
