of course, "the new york times" and a lot of people in washington and new york have been talking about gay marriage so much so that sometimes they don't have time to change lights in the studios. this is why i'm dark right now. >> i was wondering if it was my glasses. >> no, your glasses are very fashionable and chic. the fact is, it comes down to the economy. by nine percentage points in one poll, they trust romney more than obama on the economy. >> this weekend, when asked the question, what is the political impact of the president's same-sex marriage declaration. come november, people are not going to care about this issue. in the new york times poll, 7% care about same-sex marriage. 50% or 60% care about the economy. while mitt romney is viewed as the one who can, you know, lead the country better to a better economic future -- >> right. >> -- i think two out of three people say the economy is getting better similar to the result in the new york times poll. if you are the incumbent, you want people to feel the economy is better. romney is closing the gap. >> he has. let's go to the

look, we are not going to -- we are seeing full blown coverage right now in the new york times. it is the so-called scheduled behind the scenes peak. it is around memorial day and around the time we are in the midstream of an election. you can bet there will be possibly more of these full access stories given that times are msnbc. can he do it with health reform? i wouldn't do it just yet because what are you going to see? you know, so can he go full bore? what are his successes? how many more stories will we see? this may be it. >> you think he may use this tough on terrorism thing for more political gain? >> i think so. >> you heard it here. aids to obama says he views himself as responsible for the position of the united states in the world. somewhat ego ties staw cal? somewhat lots egotistical? >> when other politicians change their mind, it is flip-flopping. obama does it and it is evolution. that's a little trick. i know i promised to disclose all of my income, but i am evolving. >> the irs is watching this, and my name is jesse joyce. >> that is going to kill him in the so

according to "the new york times" investors the u.s. one would have bought 30 times the number of shares offered. steve, let's talk about this. $104 billion. what were their revenues last year? a couple billion dollars. >> revenues in the -- >> 4 billion, sorry. put you on the spot. $104 billion, could it be worth that amount of money? >> it could be worth that amount of money but only time will tell. at the moment, it is being priced above value. we have charts. do you want to do them now? >> let's do it. >> how exciting. >> i listened to the pros and cons on the show. on the proside, nobody can deny, i would not deny it is a big, real company. it's a four pillar of the internet. if you look on the right and you see the companies that dominate the internet, google, microsoft, facebook coming up from nowhere and passing yahoo! and challenging microsoft. yahoo! is having problems and plateauing out. it's my space, it's going to disappear. certain people not on the show have said that. on other occasions, i don't agree with that. when you

one media hasn't "the new york times". "the new york times" still reports as if the evidence is overwhelming that zimmerman is guilty. indeed they end a story in today's newspaper shockingly by quoting an unnamed source that made a phone call to the police alleging that zimmerman may have some racist tendencies. that violates the "time"'s own policy about sourcing. they would never have written such a statement about an unsourced allegation by an unnamed person regarding trayvon martin. "the times" has a position on this case and it allows that position to influence

the new york time made this big revelation this morning. ative plan to attack the president as i mentioned, by labeling hill and resurrecting reverend jeremiah wright. we are awaiting new words from governor mitt romney. he repudiated the statement. that is supposed to air. his comments are supposed to air in a radio interview later this evening. meanwhile this hour, the governor is in jacksonville, florida. and according to the information we've received, he is expected to make a new statement regarding this new york times report. all of this comes at this time. this is the owner of the chicago cubs. he is also the founder of td mare trade as well. he was going to reject there plan. we'll see the words that will come from governor romney's mouth regarding this and we'll have the latest reaction from the white house. any way, we apologize for not being able to bring you the gut check. we'll hopefully bring the congressman on monday. we'll have more of it for you. that does it for this edition of "news nation." you can catch "news nation" eve

what do we know of the source which appeared in the "new york times" this morning and online, as wellork times" are the folks that broke this a multipage proposal that went to a particular super pac and someone was alarmed and gave it to the "new york times" and whether the conservative donor had between seen it and discussed it puts it in a category you wonder where it came from. campaigns look at all options, nuclear and less so and this is one that the super pac which is outside group not at all related to romney campaign may not have taken seriously on the table but it is not coming off the table so it raises questions whether democrats were looking for an opportunity to scream fire in a crowded movie theater. >>shepard: always good of you, thank you. scientists have developed technology that allowed people to control robots using only their thoughts. look at this. we will talk to one of the scientists behind this project. but i tested it out, and bayer advanced aspirin relieved my pain fast. it helps me get back in the game. but don't take his word for it. put bayer advanced aspi

was just not covered by the new york times the new york times wrote no story about this today the washington post had something on the web site usa today actually had a piece of. the wall street journal out of these but it is just remarkable to me how. if it is accepted by the democrats and accepted by the republicans it's sort of a non issue even within the traditional year for those chris who were following this. there was a brief period of time where there was a lot of hope people were very hopeful that you know maybe courts will start ruling you know on the side of justice on the side of rights for people but i do have to say not so fast a district court new york today denied a freedom of information request to the new york times and the a.c.l.u. they were trying to find out more information about exactly how the f.b.i. has been using the patriot act for surveillance purposes they were denied of course the reason that the government gave was national security at the common reason so do you think your case is going to be you know the exception. there already is the exception you're very c

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

" story so my sense since the story came out and i think posted over night in the "new york timesd a huge backlash and i think what's going on, ashley, a lot of moderate republicans, moderate democrats, the independents who will determine who the next president of the united states is in those ten or 12 battle ground states, the fear and romney is totally disassociated himself from the reverend wright strategy. the fear is if you go that direction potentially you will alienate a lot of independents, a lot of moderates, a lot of people on the fence right now because when you look at all of the poll, the president is very likeable. americans like the president even if they disagree with him on economic issues or other substantive issues. like ability is one area that the president stores high on. >> to that end i have quotations from inside this plan according to the "new york times" about his like iktibility and how they could inflame the public. here it how it reads. the strategist grappled with how to inflame their questions on his character and competency while allowing themselv

number of the left wing papers over time in the united states you have this weird split at the new york times where paul krugman has been explaining for years why it's insane and then you have the new york times reporters that act like austerity is the only conceivable choice. we emphasized that tina there is no alternative it is mindless and a false and b. and immensely destructive. and yeah far more people are reading the reporter's stories than paul krugman and they just present it like ok this has to happen and maybe greece is going to back out but then there's going to be a disaster because they didn't do what has to happen that's the tina right. right they present anti facts things that are completely false as if they were facts and they do it in such an implicit way that they know the reporters may not even recognize that they're doing it. and it represents just such economic illiteracy that it makes you want to pull out your hair as someone who teaches economics so this is stuff that we've known better for seventy five years and this is stuff that we've predicted in advance would prod

they might get the a.p., they might even get "the new york times," "l.a. times," "washington post" news service, but they couldn't go deep and they probably didn't have great substance. today if you live in any town in america with an internet connection you can go as deep as you want to go on any subject. people's habits have changed. people no longer start their day by reading a newspaper with us sort of beginning to end the briefing you need for that day. in fact, they may want to go really deep on the area that interests them and they may not care all that much about the other things that pass them by that they once might have read. and i'm not sure that that's necessarily a bad thing. there's a line out there that somehow, you know, what's going on today with information in the way young people are consuming information is somehow bad for our democracy. and i don't buy that. i think that people will seek out the information that they need in order to make good civic or economic decisions because the motivations they have are very powerful. and i think

he told the "new york times," this had nothing to do with taxes. i was born in brazil. i was an american citizen for about ten years. i thought of myself as a global citizen. >> not so fast says chuck schumer of new york and bob casey of pennsylvania. they introduced legislation that would penalize folks like mr. saverin to forbid them from ever come back to this country again. if they think they did it for this reason, that person would be subject to 30% capital gains tax on future gain in the united states no matter where they live. >> saverin has turned his back on the country that welcomed him and kept him safe, educated him and helped him become a billionaire. this is a great american success story gone horribly wrong. >>> in other financial news, senator bernie sanders, once the head of the jpmorgan chase jamie dimon to step down. he says the $2 billion trading loss highlights the need to make changes and working on legislation to end conflicts of interest. tonight in our survey, i asked are republicans getting disappoint by bringing up reverend jeremiah wright. 8

you know, for stephanie cutter to go out for the obama campaign and complain that the new york times poll, which over-sampled democrats by 6 percentage points, is the methodology is off because it doesn't show what they want. if they think they're losing cbs news and the new york times -- how big a problem is that in the end for them? >> it's a huge problem. it is going in the wrong direction. if a new york times poll shows the president obama is behind with women voters, i don't care what your methodology is-- >>> it backfired. >> let's grant that the obama campaign-- the ability to complain about the methodology, regardless, what they have done on the fake war on women has actually not worked-- >>> backfired. >> in any scenario, it hasn't worked for them. [chuckles] >> sean: you will get your chance. i have to be honest. i am really proud of you. >> thanks? >> not only are we friends. you gr -- you go on jeopardy and bet efers at the end. next to kareem abdul jabbar. he's big! >> i was in 5-inch heels and standing on an 8-inch box. >> sean: you were not standing on a box. >> yeah! 8

" asked that same question the new york times and cbs the president had an advantage 49% of the women in april in the same new york times-cbs poll said they supported president obama and 43% mitt romney and that shifted 44% for barack obama, 46% for mitt romney. there's clearly been a shift in the new york times poll, but the methodology is something that leaves expert pollsters in doubt on the reliability of the new poll and we've seen new polls coming out in the next few days whether it's a trend or if it's a mistake on the part of the new york times and cbs. >>> tell us what the president of the united states is doing to reenergize the female base because without it he'll be a one-term president. >> reporter: that's right. you can tell by his schedule. ya yesterday he was at barnard college a prestigious women's school urging women to fight for a seat at the head of the table and right after that he went to "the view" to talk about the all-female team of hosts there, talking about how to raise daughters in the internet age. >> what sort of rules do you and the first lady have

for "the new york times." the headline was possibility of a reunited germany is no cause for alarm, bush says. in the interview that had taken place in the oval office, the president said, i don't share the concern that some european countries have about reunified germany, because i think germany's commitment to and recognition of the importance of the alliance is unshakeable, and i don't see germany in order to get reunification going off on what some are concerned about, and that is neutralist path that puts them at odds or potentially at odds with nato partners. now, that's not surprising substantively, given what brent and others have said. but what may surprise you is that article appeared on the 25th of october, 1989. over two weeks before the wall fell. this was to have been an interview about the failed noriega coup attempt, apple who spent a lot of time in germany at the end, said mr. president, one quick question. a lot of people are talking about german unification. the president once gave an instin

"new york times" magazine does a photoshoot of the nominees, a great spread of yourself and other nomineesneil calls me at home and says, "have you seen new york times magazine/" ?" he said, "weir're in it." i open it up. he says, "turn the the page featuring frank langella." there's a picture of you in your room, and my mug is in the shot. >> do you know how unimportant it is. tavis: but you know how important it is to me. i looked a >> i looked at it a dozen times and never saw your mug. i was looking at my mug. tavis: i want you to recognize my mug. you have to recognize. >> it's a good actor story. an actor can die next to you. people say, how sad. and you say -- tavis: thank you for taking the mug. >> i will go look. tavis: we made "new york times" magazine. i love the photo. where is this? who shot this? >> this is in puerto rico, a year and a half ago. it was shot by my daughter. she said, "look up, dad." i thought it was a nice, relaxed cover. i didn't want a serious author picture. i wanted it inside the book. tavis: the first thing i noticed aside from the title. on the table of

in a political bombshell "the new york times" broke the news that a republican super pac was considering $10 million willy horton style ad campaign linking president obama to jafr maya wright. the proposal called the defeat of barack hussein obama, the plan to end his spending for good. but moments ago the super pac released a statement on behalf of the funder joe rikts, rejecting the approach and saying it's all a big mistake. the proposal was just, quote, a suggestion for a direction to take. mitt romney has also now repudiated it. this is a trial balloon? this is not just some side show, this came from fred davis, well known, did the big celebrity ad against barack obama for john mccain's campaign. the firm had spent a lot of money, the proposal included a tv ad, print ad, so now we're told never mind? >> well, i think what this was, andrea, was something that was not meant if fred davis and excuse me, joe rick ets had their way would have seen the light of day and not in the new york times. now these things work in mysterious ways. >> the times was out front, chris. the times said th

"new york times." ft. "wall street journal." and he can do that from his tractor and his field where he is this afternoon. to sort of feel like information has been cut off to people, it sort of depends on where you were in the information space. and i also very strongly agree with rebecca's point about the internet being tremendously empowering in terms of access to stuff around the world. i was a foreign correspondent in the former soviet union about ten years. when i first started, a guy, super sill yus english-type person who after this became my ex-boyfrie ex-boyfriend. used to read the local newspaper and then write down what they say and that's the story the next day. and it was of course a terrible thing to say. but not entirely untrue. that doesn't happen any more. and, you know, i follow russia and ukraine quite closely. my main source of information is twitter. and you can follow some great people on twitter. mike macphail, the u.s. ambassador, is great, you have a great sense of what's going on. you do have to read r

one of the things i find offensive among many others in the pac description that came in "the new york times." if that's accurate, why, obviously that's something i repudiate. >> again, mitt romney responding to today's story in "the new york times." the story about a plan from joe ricketts. he's a billionaire, the founder of -- you heard a moment ago the combination that came from mitt romney saying he wants to focus on the issues, not things that have come up in the past including the issue of jeremiah wright from the 2008 campaign. >>> joe biden is in ohio, another key battleground state, claiming mitt romney wants to have it both ways on the auto bailout credit. he also took aim at mitt romney's background at bain capital. mitt romney responded to that also today in jacksonville, florida. here is the vice president from oh ohio. >> in the 1990s there was a steel mill in kansas city, missouri. it hadn't been in business since 1888. romney's partners came in and eight years later the company was bankrupt. romney and his partners added to that company. i think it had like $13 million in deb

what he had to say about this whole thing and he gave us the following quote he said i love the new york times and i'm glad they're doing their part in the campaign to rehabilitate general mcchrystal image but despite the embarrassment that yale's making of itself here for allowing this and the new york times for how they're covering this at the end of the day mcchrystal is the real tailor of this cloak of secrecy in the story i think that maybe the general just petrified of having his insides made public just like he was burned in the past after making boneheaded statements about pat tillman and joe bite me biden mcchrystal is probably afraid the now he could make some very controversial statements that might affect his career even if they happen to be intelligent or insightful instead mcchrystal takes the careers line the one who demands silence and obedience the sword that has led us into pointless and seemingly endless wars over the last decade and so for that the general wins tonight tool time award. our guys in time for happy hour and join me this evening alone to show producer earth bot

joe kahn, who was probably here before, foreign editor at "new york times," china guy. i did china. harvard business review is a china person. james harding of slond a china person. there are a lot of people who did china in the '80s and '90s who are now running things. we're all pushing for more sophisticate nour coverage a sophistication and understanding of china. if you look at the bo chi lai story and how "the new york times" have covered that story, putting big teams of people and going really deep. reuters has had some of this too. get leaks from inside various investigations inside china. they're practicing real journalism. and i'm quite certain part of that pressure comes from people at the top who care about china and understand how important china is and why china 3459ers. i think you come out caring about china and wanting to get better coverage of china. there are all the frustrations that may resonate from having been there. the inability of a legitimate big news organization in the u.s. to be able to get a visa for a serious correspondent who understands china to go t

. >> there were a couple of interesting nuggets, sally, in the cbs new york times poll that came out earlier this week. and it drew some reaction from the obama campaign. it was asked, who would you vote for for u.s. president. this poll showed mitt romney with a lead there. as being see, 46-- 46-43% over the president. the obama campaign said, oh, it's a bad poll, bad methodology. >> there you have the bash of liberal according to conservatives and all of a sudden, they're coming out in favor of romney and the white house is attacking him. first of all, the liberals like the play and so does the other side. the fact of the matter is romney is new to that as a nominee and obama was vetted before. they don't like the candidate who is inaccessible to the press and history of flip-flopping and generally not entirely likeable and has had a record of make moan by tiring people and shouldn't complain about the media for looking into it, should get a new candidate. >> jon: i know you've got a mouthful, monica, but the same time the poll tt president publicly support same sex marriage becaus
