. >> let's talk about the role of eric murdoch. the director of player development and he was fired by rutgers last fall. he was a central figure in the espn figure and quoted extensively calling roach rice's conduct outrageous. he compiled the video and took it to rutgers officials. he supplied this video to espn, too, right? >> i can't reveal whether or not he was the source. i will tell you, howard, where you know this happens, you have a disgruntled employee and he ends up speaking out, but the reality is, it's the facts. whether he has an agenda or not. this happens in various stories. when the truth comes out and you cannot hide behind the facts or the visuals and it's somewhat irrelevant whether or not this particular person has an agenda he or she end up getting the facts out to the public. >> the fact that you rely heavily on eric murdoch in this case, criticizing of coach rice. let me turn you to the most important development here. >> there were other sources. >> yes, espn talked to a lot of people. you had the videotape

colin murdoch is the president of the conservatory.epherding the school through its biggest change in 71 years. >> colin murdoch: we spent three years looking almost nonstop for this, this particular site, and it was a one-of-a-kind. it was certainly more money than we had anticipated spending. it was a larger fundraising effort than we ever imagined would be possible. but we simply had to do it. >> the challenges of adapting the site to a music school were many. there were lots of acoustic issues to address. and there were huge structural problems, especially transforming the historic ballroom into a grand new concert hall. >> colin murdoch: i didn't know that the room existed, and i walked in, and my jaw dropped -- by its size, its volume, and what i thought was its acoustical potential. >> tim gulsrud: and talk about found space. what was exciting to us about it is that when you come into this room and just clapped your hands, it s

changed direction. >> jon: why wouldn't rupert murdoch apologize for endangering two totally innocent young men? is it perhaps that years ago he purchased and had installed all of hitler's internal organs? of course everyone had a little fun at cnn's expense for their monster gaffe when they claimed an arrest had been made in the case and there was none. they took extra care not to misreport again. >> of course we have no idea on the motivation. we have to emphasize that again and again and again because at this point we have absolutely no idea. >> did the police give you any indication of what kind of activity is going on? >> they're not. no. they're not giving us any sense of what's going on. >> it's just odd. we don't know why this happened. >> this is a lot of firsts going on. not every movement means that something meaningful is happening. >> jon: see? is that so hard? what's going on over there? [bleep]. much more responsible way of broadcasting than your usual say it first and have anderson cooper correct it later. at least they're trying something a little different. while all

the evidence shows that murdoch did not conduct himself in the right way. after he had these issues with rice, he went to the athletic director and said, wait a minute, has anybody noticed what he has been doing with these players? the university has done nothing wrong, there is no retaliation, he was terminated because he had issues with rice. so far that we know, he said i would like to go see my son's basketball camp and he said no, you can't go and murdoch went when he came back, that's when he was terminated. so as long as the facts are such, there is no issue with the university. by the way, there might be a lot of credibility to the timeline that i suggested. and that is because if murdoch claims that all of these abuses are taking place, why did he not come in 2010 when he started with rutgers? he should have started then. but he didn't come forward until he was terminated. that's a problem for him is beyond yes, certainly. will it feels a little disingenuous come in the timing of it. >> there is evidence that suggest he did tell the university, he

the fbi is investigating whether eric murdoch tried to extort the school before releasing this infamous mike rice coaching video. murdoch's lawyer sent a letter back in december requesting $950,000 to settle employment issues or face a lawsuit. he left the job last year after serving as player development director for the men's basketball program. >>> teachers in mexico are again taking to the streets in protest over pending education reform. they're marching against a proposed evaluation system and plans to loosen union control over hiring and firing. >>> could he be the political left's answer to the right's koch brothers? a billionaire hedge fund manager has so far poured in $400,000 of his own money into the massachusetts senate race. to defeat democratic congressman steven lynch because lynch supports the keystone pipeline. according to "the boston globe," he plans to have a banner fly over red sox opener at fenway that says "steve lynch for oil evil empire." >>> the next scene from nasa teams like a scene from "armageddon." it wants to bring an asteroid even closer in hopes of sen

murdoch demanded $950,000 as a settlement for his wrongful termination claim. rutgers refused to settle the claims and murdoch subsequently released practice video showing mike rice physically and verbally against the players. and they were fired, and murdoch claimed he was fired last year for being a whistle blowser against rice. fox severe weather alert. severe storms are on the move setting up potential tornados for some and many of you are living through this as this thing is building like a monster, and meteorologist janice dean joining us now. >> hi, harris, . yes, it's a multi-faceted storm bringing us tornado and feet of snow. the main system is across the rockies, but ahead of it we're seeing severe weather, severe thunderstorm watches in effect across portions of kansas, into missouri as you can see until 12 p.m. central time and 9 p.m. into missouri and several severe thunderstorm warnings in and around those watches. so it's begun even though the main parent storm is across the rockies. our severe weather threat is going to last three days, starting

out we in many ways arnie's have seen what that looks like really the news corp empire throughput murdoch when fox news with the new york post and one of the recent hurdy probably most of that u.k. climate change to now and in the news was from papers there so if you had it he's so far as we can tell he's primarily doing that for political and economic power but if you took id you political ideologues like the cokes who also have a direct and personal interest in promoting fossil fuel use and preventing the regulation of their pollution then you would see kind of this it would be like rupert murdoch could be fox news on on steroids and it would be in los angeles it would be in chicago it would be in florida it would be across this country and it's a really troubling it's a really troubling scenario yeah and you know we talked about florida was affected by the b.p. oil spill and these florida and chicago illinois i mean these are battleground states so that will be very influential to determine climate change legislative legislation dealing with climate change in the future tyson is anothe

murdoch even care?you picked a great word when you ask is it defensible because i think what the "new york post" is going to find, it is legally indefensible. there is a lot of great lawyers up in boston, i gotta tell you i hope the family of the 17-year-old, in particular, will be out shopping tomorrow. they have got a remarkable case here. they truly did. >> john: pay for college. >> i don't know if you -- they actually defended what they did saying they never called them a suspect. despite the fact that on monday, they called the saudi national a suspect when he was in fact, a person of interest and was also -- >> john: a guy running away from an explosion while brown. >> one quick thing to my fellow new yorkers, please, do not ever again buy a "new york post." i really mean it. they lost $110 million last year. they're ready to go down the drain. they deserve to go down the drain. do not give them any money. >> john: it has been that way since the '80s. rupert murdoch is the only media mogul who mad

by the way, joey jackson, this video was shot by a name of eric murdoch, a former player that was on the staff that worked for rutgers. some say the disgruntled employee, his lawyer says he wasn't a disgruntled employee. he was terminated for having complained about the illegal conduct by coach rice. is this another legal mess that, you know, is swirling not only around coach rice but the university, too? >> without question. we certainly want passion in our coaches but this passion crosses the line. as far as murdoch who you referenced, he said, listen, this is not the kind of conduct representative of the university. more so, i don't think that it goes to motivation of players and how do you expect us to be successful if you have a coach name-calling and putting his hands on people? he's fired for that and says he was fired for insubordination related to that? i don't think so. we'll see legal action as a result of this and i think the school will have some answering to do as to why he, eric murdoch, was fired as opposed to the real party at issue. >> and timing is everything, even

that's what rupert murdoch proved. other people are proving the same thing.think, yeah, your reporters can walk off the job but wind up losing their job. why don't you talk to the koches, interview the koches. >> yeah, that's -- >> they're businessman. good businessmen. they're good businessmen, steve. all right, you know what, i just might. i just might. david koch is a friend of mine. i've got to get out. >> very quickly. i agree with steve. if they were to try to influence opinion on the news, steve is right. that shouldn't be allowed either. >> all right. i'm with you on that. i'm just saying, how do you know they're going to do that? that's all. steve pearlstein, thank you. brent boezel, as always. we appreciate it. now, what happened to the spring? i'm talking weather here. we're in the middle of one of the coldest spring seasons recorded in history. how cold is it? we have that story and much more just ahead. the ocean gets warmer. the peruvian anchovy harvest suffers. it raises the price of fishmeal, cattle feed and beef. bny mellon turns insights lik

i saw more irresponsible stuff on the right-wing blogs and rupert murdoch's right-wing newspaper than frankly on my twitter feed and on facebook. >> john: let's get back to rupert murdoch's right-wing networks. how harmful is to publications to have information that's wrong that stays throughout for that long? is it a case of where the readership of these two particular publications are so loyal, it will never be a problem? athink in the "wall street journal," i think you know, there is a lot of breaking news. we saw it after sandy hook. there were breaking events that weren't accurate. look, i mean twitter is live reporting. used to be you had three or four hours to double check this stuff. put it in print or online. and i think the "wall street journal" just got bad information. it is 24 hours. they still haven't really just now are they correcting the report about the saudi national, just this afternoon did they give up the ghost in terms of 12 dead and things like that. i think it is incredibly damaging. >> i don't think anybody looks for real, factual information. if it's not on
