in the middle was the new york times. its editor was a politician. harry raymond who founded it was the speaker of the new york state assembly. he decided to found a newspaper. this in new york gets gas because new yorkers imagine the current speaker of the assembly of owning the new york times so it is a big leap of imagination. the times was clearly pro republican and anti slavery but their whole m o was to delay education, not excited asian. they wanted changes to be made in thessaly and painlessly. they were anti secession but not immediately pro emancipation. the times originally favored william seward for president of the united states in 1860. they were converted to admiration for lincoln after the cooper union address as joe mentioned a moment ago and were reliably and ardently pro lincoln in the 1860's election. in fact, i don't think anyone in any city to they can imagine this occurring from the print newspaper aside from television. the editor of the new york times campaigned across new york state into the midwest for abraham lincoln. for o

well the first note it is quite obvious the new york times are not fans of each other when you read it first ari on his cue to bill keller and now we have this so andrew goldman of the new york times asked arianna he said you've been saying recently if the huffington post is not a lefty publication to which here's bonded actually i've been saying that for three years the tag line that we've used a lot is beyond left and right i'm sorry but just saying your web site goes beyond left and right doesn't make it true arianna have you looked acre site lately now the writer followed up with the next question and said it's as if you're trying to tell me that smurfs aren't blue to which i say good boy now are ya then responded by saying i'm just telling you that it is very clear that we have progressive views but to call everything we're doing lefty well it misses the whole point that american policy needs to be redefined beyond left and right it's completely obsolete you call it takes ok arianna just keep repeating the same lines and maybe somebody will actually believe you asked for m

the "wall street journal" but the reason why i mentioned the "washington times," bill, if the "new york times" is what you say shot through in its news columns with subjectivity and bias, i don't think that's the "wall street journal." yet. but that is the "washington times." so in that sense, the "washington times" is a doppelganger is to the washes in your book. that's what i meant. michael myers, i take your point. i'm only talking about your second point. i'm ignoring your first point. [laughter] >> look, maybe black reporters have a point of view about a black neighborhood. maybe that's true. white reporters do too. white reporters always did. now, this get to one of the core questions about the whole history of diversity in multiculturalism in this country. and it's very key to the whole debate. was the old prediversity point of view in america -- at american institutions, was it some default purely objective point of view that was civic with the capital c and completely bereft of anticipate kind of bias at all? or was it just the point of view of the men who happened to run that thing

work in the office again, i was given a column to write called "about new york," which is an old traditional column at "the new york times" in which you write twice a week -- a reporting column in which you write twice a week about anything that you care to in new york city. i left that column because i became deputy metropolitan editor of the paper because in the space of about two years, i had two children, who were quite close in age, and i felt that it would be impossible for me to have a full-time job at the paper, and still spend as much time ace wanted with my children. i felt like i would be missing all of good stuff at home, so six months after our second son was born, abe rosenthal asked me if i wanted to do a once a week column to keep my hand in, and that was the column called, "life in the 30's." i did that for three years, and ended that because i gave birth to now our third child. there's a pattern emerging here. and when i was deciding to leave the paper at that point, because i thought i had sort of topped out, the publisher offered me the op-ed page column. >> could you still write a column about "life

and to diplomats across the world and the new york times still chose to publish the cables. so we have to ask why the laser focus on bringing weak you leaks down as opposed to the new york times and probably told salon i do not see week and weeks as journalism as a source of information that said it is hard to distinguish what we can be extended for what the new york times did and that's why the focus is rightly on bradley manning now currently bradley manning is being held in solitary confinement in quantico virginia suspected of leaking the documents to wiki leaks and as for julian assange the man who created the weekly league's website the u.s. government has desperately been trying to make a case against him with no success as of yet the justice department is currently investigating wiki leaks and and many lawmakers here in the u.s. have openly even called first saw it to face treason charges even though he's not american but if the former state department official says that the new york times did the same thing that we did by publishing the cables and when the chimes als

durability last election john mccain didn't talk to the "new york times" at all. chris: he had reason though, didn't he? [laughter] >> at the same time, the mainstream media will still be doing the stories that drive the agenda. >> look, we're all being tested now. the survival of this so-called mainstream media has to do with quality. if you assemble a bunch of questions and go to a candidate and say look, i'm see, i really want to ask about this and you take them as seriously as they take themselves, and believe me that he -- they all take themselves seriously, and you have done your homework and you are fair-minded and neutral, they are going to engage. when i've done these books on bush and obama, i send this, i hate to disclose trade craft here but i send in 20-page memos saying this is what i want to ask about. people say well, you're tipping them off. i say yes, i want them to do some homework themselves and be fully engaged. i think you can do that with lots of work and -- but if it's just "we'd like to come in and chat about the news of the day," we'll --

i'm about to pay for "new york times" only because it's such a pain. at some point itunes became so easy -- i have a friend who stopped downloading illegal music because he discovered that it was easier to pay 99 cents for pure music that was virus free and easy to manage. same idea. >> it is. but what you just said is called the pain wall, make it difficult. >> think that's fairly accurate. >> the thing they're doing is the metered model where you get a certain number for free. does that seem more reasonable than some of the early efforts? lots of different newspapers have been trying different things for a while. "new york times" said we'll charge you for the columnists. and that didn't really work. does the metered model make inherent sense here? >> that's one of the ways. i really want to see a company use the distributed method. it spreads in influence and everybody thinks about "the financial times." there was an innovative piece done by the guardian uk where they worked with mashery and encouraged the community to use content. the only catch was

was the new york times covering it at that time? oh, yes. before television accelerated? oh, yeah. that was a decision made by turner catledge of philadelphia, mississippi, the new york times executive editor, immediately upon brown versus board of education that they would cover this, assigning johnny popham, a wonderful reporter, to do it and then eventually two of my personal heroes, claude sitton and john herbers. i mean, these were foreign correspondents or war correspondents working on american domestic soil. we forget so readily in this country that particular part of our shameful history and how much energy went into suppression of the human spirit, which is why this movement is so great. 'cause, "a," it is a children's movement. and it is really about-- i really-- the book that we've mentioned here is my favorite book of my own, because it's really about the nobility of ordinary people. they're not famous. they weren't even big men or women on the black campuses. they were children of people who, i think, almost family by family, had never finished high school. so the fact

if your interested, "the new york times -- if you are interested, "the new york times" has this photo of laura bush. at the end of the interview, there is a blackberry message from george w. bush st. "where are you -- saying where are you? she says he has the most annoying habit of smacking his chewing gum. betty, good morning. caller: good morning. i think president obama has really been doing a good job. we had so many people unemployed and having a very difficult time whenever he came in office. unemployment is down. look at the people we have from every place in the world in america. it was announced on your program. how many millions of people from mexico do we have living here now? i just think he has had a terrific job to tackle. all the republicans have done is, one after the other, is talk about him something terrible. rachel on msnbc, i think she comes on at 8:00 p.m., just a week ago friday was telling that we are more in debt now than we were after tehe election. the republicans have come in and they have taken away from another of states. the middle-class people and the r

the new york times/cbs news poll, 57% to like the blast not like the way he is working with the economyll street journal, nbc news poll, 64 percent think the country is heading in the right -- wrong direction. and standard and poor's, the credit rating agency, it has downgraded its long-term outlook for the nation's fiscal health from stable to negative. why is this president smiling? >> i think he feels like he can win by default. i think all this bad news is encouraging, because it might force them out of his shell and get him to do something. if what he does is just a book on republicans, that is not good. he has to act on the public and show leadership. that would be good. >> nina? >> standard and poor's shows what the polls show, which is, i think any way, that there is not a crisis actually in the nation's fiscal health at the moment. there is a crisis in confidence and the ability of washington to do something about it. we just witnessed a lot of this, and there's no indication that republicans and democrats in the house, senate, and white house can really get this done. >> charl

and a "new york times"-cbs news poll out today shows the president's approval rating sliding on everything from libya to the economy. so let the political positioning begin, right, dan? >> it's clearly beginning. and i think if you look at sort of the totality of the polls this week, you can see that everybody, president obama, all the republican rivals, have got work to do in order to get in shape for 2012. we start with the broad view of these polls. what we've been talking about all session here, a lot of economic pessimism that we are seeing in the polls. it's clearly tied to gas prices. and i think the unrest in the middle east. our polls showed a two-year high in the number of people who say the economy is getting worse. "the new york times" has found similar. they got a two-year high point on people saying the country is going in the wrong direction. these are numbers we haven't seen since the depth of the recession right at the beginning of the obama administration. so people are uneasy about where things are going. that has had a clear effect on president obama's approval ratings.

for the first time last year student loan debt outpaced credit card debt and according to the new york times it's likely to. a trillion dollars this year and the complications are immense this comes at a time when state budgets are being slashed or intuitions going up and pell grants are in the middle of a budget debate on capitol hill the economy is in a recession unemployment is high and now an entire generation has to ask themselves whether it's worth living the rest of their lives in debt just to get a degree earlier from our studio in los angeles i caught up with and because perry and host of t y i t university now by the way the young turks regular show they've been nominated for a web ease so we wanted to send our congratulations but back to this topic i first asked and tell me what college students have been saying about this on the young turks t y t university show. yeah but what you're hearing and not just in the united states but also in the u.k. is that students are not only outraged by it they're frustrated and they feel discouraged they feel like you know education is no longer

at new york times, there have been studies in the new york times book review which is the dominant reviewing form in the united states and the other is that closed down. very recently there was a study in the new york times and the reviewers were primarily male. the times got touchy about that in my opinion because the last several issues on the cover with two reviews by women, they started making up as hard as they could. in the other places they will be equal or more women. the don't think it is standardized. i couldn't answer about proportion of male or female writers. my view is they are roughly equal. what i do know and i know barbara will confirm this for me is women are the majority of the consumers of fiction whether it is by men or women. women by the vast majority of novels, poems by any writer, male or female. when the great carla cohen was with as she set about politics and prose people come in the front door did is like a wedding. men toy history and sociology and women turn towards fiction. there have been lots of studies that show that. with the difference is discrimination i

that came as the new york times reported the united states nuclear regulatory commission sees a host of new threats at the plant, including explosions and growing stresses on containment structures. portugal has become the third eurozone country to request an international financial bailout. the prime minister said portugal needs the extra help to tackle skyrocketing debts amid recent political instability. he said the fact that parliament rejected austerity measures last month made the request for aid inevitable. greece and ireland have already asked for financial assistance. on wall street, stocks closed higher today as the dow neared a three-year high. the dow jones industrial average

i witnessed the fact that the new york times wanted me to write about my life. the summer after that i was on the panel at the democratic national convention talking about the youth vote. amazing. then i was listened to. i don't think that young people -- i'm thinking of my own three adult children -- have the same sense of being a part of the process. as i know that i did. >> yes, mark. >> i'm constantly kicking myself because i missed the punk movement. after 7i actually think punk is culturally probably more important than most of us and this from realize. i notice that they yawned anarchist kids relate to punk, neil plonk. that is their music. so i think oh, man, i missed something. no, i just about can maybe figure out jam it tarnishes sensibility, his movies. he is pawned. anyway, so i second what martha said about everybody thinking. on the other hand, there was something special about those of us who grew up in the 50's and early 60's and experienced the civil rights movement in the south because that was an example of a moment in history : what an indiv

and i think that fact, which got picked up by the new york times, you know-- "young american playwright to go to germany to have his first work done, and not even in english"-- i think that instantly made the play producible in new york city, because six months later, it was done off-broadway in english on the same double bill and ran for four years. so i quit my job delivering telegrams for western union-- [laughter] and settled in to be a playwright. now, do you speak or write german? no. no. it's a very strange language. do you speak it? no. no. you know, the verbs are at the ends of the sentences, so you can go along, you know, for a page and a half, not knowing what anybody is talking about, and then, all of a sudden, bang, at the end, there's a verb. but you had this-- this added advantage of sitting there the first time you watched it and not being able to say-- or disadvantage-- not being able to say, "you're butchering my dialogue." you didn't have a clue, did you? well, i'd had somebody who speaks german read the translation to me, and it was good, and i knew what they were sa

constitution required, if properly read, the court enforcement of the agenda of "the new york times," so now that it's increasingly argued that international human rights properly applied -- still somewhat vague as to how this will happen -- required this same new york times editorial page agenda. it gives the government more to do, and in that it is very much like most of the other ideas i talk about from legal act acade, you know, up to that point it just sounded like most lofty ideas, give the government more to do. but it gives specifically lawyers and judges more to do which was not always, and it was actually not always fdr's view that litigation should have a bigger role in society. it in particular gives legal intellectuals more to do because they're the ones who will often be listened to when we decide to result everything through legal processes rather than through legislatures or, you know, other ways of doing it friedrich hayek, i think, would have understood the world's power of yet another genre of intellectuals who have arranged things in such a way as to make their own

but my favorite was, i kno you're talking about a "new york times" story. always laugh when they get it wrong. a friend of mine owns the newspaper and they can't wait for it to be proven true. but they'll all be gone by the time that happens. tavis: he would love that. >> a wonderful writer, he wrote a 20-page profile of us, pretty much saying we were gone, this was in the year 2000, he said this company was king of the 1990's, harvey has the sensibilities of the 1990's, but the new millennium isn't for him. they had all these guys off the record, and i could tell who they were, three weeks later, not three weeks later, we got nominated for 40 academy awards. nobody has ever even come near that, including three movies, "chicago," "the hours," "and gangs of new york," all nominated for the best film. it was like throwing a no-hitter. tavis: finally this weekend, "hoodwinked too." >> i have four daughters from eight months to 16 years old. one thing we do is go to the movies. the pixar and dreamworks movies are the golden standard but there are a lot of others

let me take you back to 2004 when "the new york times" came up with -- they found a new information that the bush administration was surreptitiously eavesdropping on u.s. citizens. the bush administration asked them to hold publication until 2005 after he was safely reelected. the people will know what not to put out there. we see this in egypt, when the going to the ministry of interior. the people did not go put it out there because it violated privacy. the mass knows what to put it out there. we should be entrusted with that. >> thank you, clayton. >> thank you very much.

there are great things that i would say to my friend from the "new york times." two things make the operations very difficult. the first one is a strategy of qaddafi. i had last night on the phone some people from misurata. is misurata is a city west of benghazi which was encircled by forces of qaddafi and now the tanks are inside the city which means that qaddafi transforms the remaining city into bunkers. he had a bunker in berlin, qaddafi has a city as a bunker. berlin has a bunker. this makes the operations very, very difficult. we had some-to-bomb some tanks or some armored vehicles when you have some civilians transformed into human shields number one. and number two, you have the necessary time to build the resistance. i remember sarajevo, bosnia. it took six months for rebels of sarajevo, for the simple citizens to build a proper army. it took six months. it is hard even when you have the weapons you have to learn the use of the weapons, you have to learn the discipline. and this is what is in a way great in these guys. >> rose: so you say that because an
