new york deserves in a mayor. the words that the daily news aimed at anthony weiner today. the "new york times" never suggested that arkansas governor bill clinton should stop his campaign for president in 1992 when one of his lovers came to new york city to hold a press conference about their affair and play tapes of their phone calls before the new hampshire primary. >> yes, i was bill clinton's lover for 12 years. and for the past two years, i have lied to the press about a relationship to protect him. the truth is, i loved him. now he tells me to deny it. well, i'm sick of all of the deceit and i'm sick of all of the lies. last night, i sat and watched bill on 60 minutes. i felt disgusted and i saw a side of bill that i had never seen before. he is absolutely lying. i'm disappointed but realistically, i never thought he would come out and admit it. >> she's a legend and is described in some detail in the supermarket tabloid what she calls a 12-year affair with you. >> that allegation is false. >> the man on "60 minutes" was not the man i fell in love with. i dealt with my hurt -- i have de

please welcome the man who is still evidently "the new york times" times trends editor henry mitchellmckraken. mr. mccraken, please. sit down, thank you. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: now henry, henry, thank you for coming. what an honor. evidently "the new york times" has published essentially the same article every few years over the last century. clearly a complex issue, boil it down for us. >> they're doing it! (applause) >> stephen: yeah, okay, i -- >> girls too! >> stephen: i got that part. >> and they like it! >> stephen: so i gathered, yeah. >> rubbing their bathing suit areas. >> stephen: okay, i've never heard it call that. >> kissy canoe and doing it too. >> stephen: uh-huh. >> taking a ride on the bone zeppelin. >> stephen: anything else? >> playing the old hoop and stick. get an old, a tuck in the bathtub (laughter) >> stephen: well, henry, well, henry, i think that about covers it. is there anything else you think the public should know. >> i would really like to go back to college. (laughter) (cheers and applause) could you write me a recommendation? >> stephen: wit

new york, how do you go about it? >> one thing you can do is go back to past polls and see how accurate they were in different points in time. the new york race is complicated because off runoff situation so my view is that weiner has a certain amount of support but a lot of people-- even democrats-- dislike him so he has a ceiling on his support. if he's in the top two he'll advance to a runoff and that's where that might hurt him a lot. where his enthusiastic supporters might vote for him but they might make up 40% of the electorate whereas christine quinn will get the other 60%. so i think his chances are low of becoming mayor. i'd say in the range of -- with the current accusations the, t new round of the stuff, i'd say not more than 10%. >> rose: okay. but how will you measure the impact of the new range of stuff that's in the headlines for the last two days? >> to some extent we're just waiting for the polls to come out and you recalibrate based on that. the presidential forecast it is one thing we look at apart from polls is the economy. so, for example, if there's a bad jobs report that comes out that our model auto

we weren't willing to doublecross the new york times. we thought a deal is a deal. >> smith: the guardian shared a copy of the cables with the times. so, on the evening of november 28, 2010, the new york times, the guardian, and der spiegel published. ( news reports overlapping ) >> smith: it touched every country. it was the biggest story on the planet. of all the files manning is alleged to have leaked, this was the mother lode. >> whoever leaked that information is guilty of treason, and i think anything less than execution is too kind. >> question-- do you believe that actually capturing mr. assange and prosecuting him will send the right kind of signal? >> mr. assange has disclosed this material without regard to the risk that it does generate to real people... >> smith: is there anything good to come out of this in your view? >> no. >> smith: nothing? >> the unauthorized release of 251,000 cables that covers every relationship the united states has with countries around the world has done damage to the national interest of the unite

most disconcerting part. >> just got breaking news, as it were, in terms of new york politics anyway, gang. "the new york timesitorial tomorrow morning is going to say that anthony weiner should get out of this race. a "new york times" editorial in a campaign like this is pretty important. >> that will have an effect because that is an impactful thing for the democratic primary electorate here in new york. as you know, lawrence, sometimes on the lower ballot races they can make or break campaigns. but "the new york times" editorial board has had some kind of sexual puritanism here that i didn't see on display during president clinton's administration. there's something about the sexual politics in this country that really gets people up and gets them confused. sometimes it's partisan. sometimes it's hypocritical. but they said that eliot spitzer was the kim kardashian of new york politics, he should get out of the race for comptroller because of his sex scandal, which would have left one person in the race, ceasing to be a race. i don't know what's going on over in midtown at "the new york times" office, but t

i don't think this would have changed if it had been "the new york times" versus wikileaks. i note that bill keller, the former editor of "the new york times", has not considered wikileaks a journalist organization, rather an activist organization. nobody has prosecuted julian assange for this aspect. he's got his own personal legal issues which have nothing to do with, you know, bradley manning, but ultimately i think that it's very important investigative journalism will continue but the government is -- has a -- >> i have to tell you -- >> to make sure that we prosecute those who have a security clearance, who are charged with protecting classified information and fail in that duty. >> i have to say quickly that the overreaction from the obama administration justice department to the series of cases is making it tougher and the idea that you can get e-mails from reporters, you can make reporters testify, all these other means, it's really having some sources thinking twice. maybe down the road that will fade, but it's real. it's quite real. >> you know, p.j., let me ask yo

there's a woman from the new york times, who's a friend of mine named margo jefferson, who is a--who won a pulitzer a few years ago as a very good essayist. lieutenant bob kur, who works at nbc news. some magazine writers, but those--i think they're the most prominent. c-span: well, settle this discussion that we have on this network all the time. are all reporters liberals? >> guest: not all, but--but there's an overwhelming liberal bias in the--in the media. it's not any--it's not a conspiracy. it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. there's simply shared assumptions. you know, i--bernard goldberg, a friend of mine who worked at cbs news, put it best, i think. he said, 'you walk into a room, a party on the upper west side of manhattan, with a bunch of network journalists, and if you, for example, say something which questions abortion, it's not people are angry; they're surprised. it--it simply doesn't happen in their circle. the assumption is--i mean, they will--they will drop remarks about, you know, various conservative politicians and assume that everyone agrees. and it--so it reall

and that was jonathon weissman from the new york times. let me read to you his first paragraph above the fold in "the new york times" in the setup piece for the president's speech. he wrote the gop will gut the budget and the sharpest cuts in the generation from the gop, they will hold hostage the budget unless it is stripped. that was the setup. "the new york times" is playing right into the campaign rhetoric of this president. >> how do you see it? >> the coverage of the republican pass versus the coverage of the president. >> right. again the president suffers from a cynical media that aren't enthusiastic. by a long shot. republicans suffer from relentlessly hostile media that still looks to blame him. ryan williams was highlighting the congressional approval rating and setting it up, that was the republicans' fault. >> monica is there anything the republicans can do to even the playing field a little bit? >> very tough for them. look, they have to come out with a sconsistent pitch. very tough to punch lou especially when you are competi

entity for publication online is aiding the enemy, it's not clear what the line is between the "new york times" and wikileaks. and so the prosecution was trying to draw that line. as well, if he'd given the information to the "new york times" or the "guardian" or der spiegel, that would have a crime, but that's not this. wikileaks was in the business of this wholesale bulk posting of documents, that's not journalism. so that's something different, don't worry, judge, about the notion that this unprecedented aiding the enemy charge may somehow cripple investigative journalism going forward if this establishes a president. and the defense did not want that separation in the judge's mind at all. it emphasized greatly wikileaks is the same as the "new york times" for legal purposes in this matter. it's the same as t garden, the same as der spiegel. they were engaged in bringing information to light, publishing it for the world to see, the fact that some enemies are also in the world and have internet connection cans not be enough, the defense says, for the leaker to be guilty of aiding the enemy b

that was jonathan wiseman from the "new york times." let me read to you his first paragraph above the fold in the "new york times" in the set up. the g.o.p. will gut the budget, sharpest cuts in a generation from the g.o.p.. they will hold hostage the budget unless it's stripped. that was the setup. "new york times" are playing right into the campaign rhetoric of this president. >> rick: how do you see it, jim? >> again, president suffers from a cynical media that aren't as enthusiastic as they used to be. republicans suffer from relentlessly hostile media that still looks to blame them. brian williams was highlighting the congressional approval ratings and it was all the republicans' fault. >> is there anything the republicans can do to even the playing field a little bit? >> it's very tough for them. they need to come out with a consistent message which this i think they have done in the last few years. it's tough to punch through especially when you are competing with the president. despite the skeptical coverage over the last week is

so the next day, tuesday, they enjoined the new york times for the first time in our history. we know from the tapes now that nixon had asked mitchell on the tape - i've heard this - the day before, on monday, mitchell wanted to put the times on notice. and, of course, nixon says, "have we ever done this before?" and mitchell says, "oh, yes, many times." terrific legal advice from the bond lawyer. it had never been done in our history and, of course, led to a constitutional battle, which nixon lost and the attorney general lost. but they did enjoin it, and so the question was what to do next. i hadn't been identified yet, but i decided, on the base of one other person who suggested it to me, that i give it to the washington post. and meanwhile, i had called up gravel's office - i was still able to use a phone, not my home phone, but i went out to a pay phone - and said to the person there, "is your boss interested in putting out the pentagon" - i didn't say the "pentagon papers" - "is your boss intending to keep up this filibuster? is he going to stay there?" they said, "oh, a

i don't know how, but goldman is going to war at "the new york times," asking for more information. aited five days, i don't know. but that is what is going on right now. goldman versus "the new york times." this thing, manipulating the gold market. liz: no, aluminum. let's articulate a little bit. the article indicates goldman sachs in the uk has aluminum storing in warehouses and explains it. charlie: and prices go up. goldman says they do not control that, the end-user controls that. liz: do they understand the british law, the u.s. times and congress understand goldman sachs is required to move it from warehouse to warehouse? charlie: here is goldman's problem. they waited a week to respond. a week. writers did a story, the journal did a story, the times is doing a story, here is the thing with goldman, goldman sachs spent three years on it feels being the target of investigations, being the bad guy on wall street, you would think their pr department would know to go after this with all their might because it is for them being called the fat cats and lloyd blank line being held r

reasoning was because manning released the documents that were subsequently published in "the new york times," for example, that he aided the enemy because he released the cables knowing al qaeda could potentially have an internet connection, and therefore, read them. by that line of thinking "the new york times" or the "washington post" or even your humble msnbc host could be prosecuted for aiding the enemy if, say, one of those papers' articles or maybe a clip from the show were found on an al qaeda computer. it's a genuinely shocking argument coming from the government, an argument that for today, at least, a judge rejected. joining me now is liza goitein, co-director of the liberty and national security program at the brennan center for justice. okay. am i being hyperbolic here? can it possibly be the case that the government's assertion in aiding the enemy charge was as massively problematic from a precedent perspective as it appears to be? >> i don't think you're being hyperbolic, i think you're being underbolic. i'm not sure what the opposite of that is because i don't think that the

. >>> new york times to anthony weiner, get out. let's play "hardball." ♪ snoetd >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start tonight with this. new york has two historic mayors in a row now. rudy giuliani and mike bloomberg. they are not without controversy, of course. but in the end, both stand today as public figures of renown. they can travel the country and be treated with great applause by broad audiences of the american people. and that's a fact. anthony weiner is known nationwide for one thing that he sent pictures of just himself across the country. now he wants to bathe in public attention of another kind at the expense of new york's dignity. i think new york is back as a great city, surviving not just 9/11 but years of high crime and low expectations. i hope new york knows that it has a lot going for it. i think this race for mayor is going to come down to two people, christine quinn and bill thompson. quinn is a serious public servant who has operated at the highest levels of new york city politics. sh

"new york times" called him a white hispanic? >> to make zimmerman essentially a local news story. it's become a national news story because the mainstream media picked up on the racial story and infused the entire story based on race. if trayvon martin had been shot by a black man that happens in every day in big cities you would never hear trayvon martin. it would not have this kind of coverage. this black on black violence and minority violence every single day. of course it's a national story because it is a race. the burden of proof is on the state to prove that mr. zimmerman is guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt. the media has flipped that and invited mr. zimmerman and called him out guilty before the trial got under way. >> eric: and moving forward with lot of other trials. it's a tragedy no matter how you cut it. what is the media's responsibility? >> i'm going to associate with jack's comments in huffington post he said enough. this is too much. it's just too much. as you pointed out we have a few things going on in the world, largest protest in human history in eg

[laughter] the public cannot learn certain things the public cannot learn certain things unless promises of confidentiality can be made and kept. because there are certain matters and other matters of high importance if they can be promised and they believe the promise that no one will tell, we have a shield law here in new york. most states have shield laws that mean just that to shield the journalist against having to reveal against confidential sources of news gathering. but someone in federal court with the cases involving miller came out the way it did was was and still is no federal protection as such a part from the first amendment in with a grand jury context so far there has not been much protection in that area but there is in right now as

in "the reading a piece new york times" that describes was happening in the media let me see if i can find the words. >> i was here yesterday while the judge the liberated and the commander came up to me -- i am not allowed to name her or i could lose my press credentials. i am not allowed to identify them by name. she told me that she was the media person responsible for all the images of the saddam hussein captured, and that those photographs were taken with her camera. she understands how to manage the message. that is essential to this trial, how fort meade has managed the message by a lack of public access to court documents, the subject matter experts which is responsible for convening a fair and impartial trial for the accused, the first subject matter expert we had was a member of the prosecution. no one in the press knew that. it is what mr. rattner spoke about, the fact that the prosecution wants to make sure it makes the headlines, and eventually squeezes' any attention away from the defense. the fact is, if the trial were to be televised, if people could see bradley mannin

new york politics i was an interesting figure. some people loved me and some people didn't which is also what makes this story interesting. witness the front page story in the "new york times" today that there seems to be an alliance of wall street leadership and union leadership to prevent me from getting on the ballot. i think many things converged and my personal story is one that is intriguing. >> i want to bring people up to speed. this is a national audience. probably people are aware of some of the basics of how you went from where you were to where you ended up. five years ago you're the governor of new york with a national reputation talked about as a potential president some day. from a personal point of view, tell me what happened. what happened that caused you fog from being the governor of new york to resigning? >> look, i resigned in the context of sex scandals. the phrase that is most easily described it. it was alleged and i did not deny and i faced up to the allegation, acknowledged it. i had participated in seeing prostitutes and that, when it was going to become public i said i will not serve under those terms. it is not proper. it is not correct. i resi
