it was valued at something like 10 times its revenues on the same day that the "new york times" was down one or two times its revenues. the prices associated with newspapers nowadays are all over the map. they have to do with the passion of somebody to want to own it. they have to do with market fundamentals, characteristics of the business itself. globe" sold for only $70 million trade the "new york times" has to hold onto -- pay $100 million or more of pension obligations. that was a paper that was bought for $1.1 billion when we were living in a different world. i could jump in in the $250 million figure. it is a princely sum. we were able to get good sources to tell us about this. "the washington post" finances -- if you look at a line item in their balance sheet which looks at what they call, earnings before interest, taxes depreciation. is a good line item to look at in terms of how much money "the post" has been making. $14.5 million in that kind of profit line. newspapers have been selling for three or four times. it's. million, 17 $250 times that profit. it is a much higher prem

has bipartisan support and it's interesting i work for the new york times for fifteen years that the only established news organization that responsibly covered the case was the new york times and when judge forrest issued a ruling the new york times ran an editorial supporting our decision because the times still i mean it's an elitist organizations and i have my critiques of the times but nevertheless it still understands what is news and what is not. but that for me was a kind of frightening moment because i realized how deteriorated our systems of information become absolutely yeah i love how people say oh there is there's no bipartisan support we'll look at things like the end and the erosion of civil liberties it seems like it's all the uniform across the board but speaking in storage you mentioned this is the way it's kind of been of except in these illegalities in terms of. looking at when civil liberties have been repealed and in the historical narrative of america in the short brief history of our nation lincoln f.d.r. you know when he authorized. brethen term and doubt thes

let's explain to the viewers at home why "the new york times" ownership came up immediately once this happened. >> because "the new york times" is essentially the last man standing. a family own, family controlled newspaper that is still independent. can they make a go of it? can they remain a public company without the kind of, you know, wealthy backer that "the washington post" is now getting. so far so good for "the new york times," but can they remain independent is the question. >> in fact the family met -- at least talked afterwards and put out a statement saying they don't intend to have any change. what do you make of that? >> well, they say that and if someone shows up like jeff bezos and says i'm going to give you a whole lot of money for this enterprise, maybe they would be for sale. the family seems adamant. we have to take them at their word, obviously. they think they have a plan to go in the future, but "the washington post" wasn't for sale necessarily until a few months ago too. >> "the new york times" is profitable and it moves in the digital world. they have doubled

news network? >> i think it's a great time to launch. just this week vice, which used to be a canadian music magazine was valued somewhere close to the valuation of "the new yorkness sites, its u.s. traffic this week passed that of the economists in the u.s. at "time" where i work we just launched an interactive film unit. there's so much ferment and excitement and so to see it's all in the execution. >> they say that there's a 55 million strong untapped audience. do you think all those people really want more news? the cable news universe is still pretty small compared to the general television. >> you know, one of the great questions, even the amir of qatar will eventually get tired of supporting a thousand employees if the ratings don't support it. i think they seem to be aiming big and broad. in a sense almost disowning their roots and whether that's the right strategy versus owning the perspective of the channel and going for more of a niche but dedicated audience i think is one of the real open questions. >> so that's a great question. we're going to ask that to michael. so, michael, let's talk about that for a moment. its strategy is fascinating. it kee

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

society that's supposed to be transparent it's important for many who did try to reach out to the new york times with this information other news outlets have the new york times been on this in taken some of this information would we be here talking about about this trial would manning a face these sort of consequences were i mean what does that say about journalism in general the whole wiki leaks angle in julian astonishing things i think if he i think the new york times that sounds like they blew him off i mean he did reach out to the new york times and no one responded given the new york times coverage of this trial is spent abysmal they haven't shown up during much of it i'm in terms of whether they would cover it i don't know i don't know if they would have covered his disclosures i'm not sure what they would have done with that but in general there is a war on whistleblowers and a war on journalism and in general a crackdown on information if it happens to embarrass the government or even worse expose its. on colonel morris davis professor of law at howard university just one radek nationa

today it happened again. 3:00 eastern this afternoon, "the new york times" website, nytimes.com, no longer worked on my internet machine. i say it that way. weirdly, a friend working in northern new england who i was e-mailing with about something at the time said he was still able to access "the new york times" website, but in new york and most places, nobody could get it. "the new york times" quickly posted this message on their facebook page, acknowledging many people, most people were unable to access their website. they said "our initial assessment is the outage is most likely the result of a malicious external attack. in the meantime, we're continuing to publish key news reports. here's our latest article about syria, accessible to everyone." that link led to this reporting on the potential for american military action against syria. all this was happening at around the time that people started tweeting that they were seeing this image. this the syrian electronic army's logo. people started tweeting that this image was popping up for them on their computer screens when they were tryi

we're watching what is happening with the "new york times." e website is down and has been for a little bit right now. what we do know, a "new york times" spokesman says they believe this is a hacking related incident only affecting some users and they can't say how widespread it is. they're working to restore the problem right now. we just checked it again, the "new york times" website is still down, so no real trade in the after hours but "new york times" stock may be one you want to pay attention to into tomorrow's trade if this is not resolved. nyt shares certainly in focus. >> the twitter account of eileen murphy, vp of communication of the "new york times" says initial assessment issue most likely result of a malicious external attack. that coming from the vp of communication at the "new york times" as reported by the "wall street journal." the "new york times" itself reporting a possible hack attack. meantime it's not just the so called fed tapering hanging over investor's heads. now we're just 34 days away from a possible government shu

new york is very different from washington. the new york timess very different from the washington post. and the new york times has enough challenges as it is. here's what interests me most, though, jeff bezos is a great innovator in technology. that's terrific. he has vastly more money than the grahams, which is important to invest in the newspaper. but will he run a newspaper that puts pressure on power. that's what interests us most. that's not a value, that's a universal among anyone, much less -- >> some have suggested the opposite. perhaps he's buying protection for his business. >> precisely. >> cory johnson, you cover jeff bezos. you've covered -- and as i talk about his motives, george will says it's the intellectual challenge. >> you talk to people who know jeff bezos, the first thing out of everyone's mouth is he's smart. it's interesting in a world of smart people, hedge fund managers, entrepreneurs and technology. he's the guy they say is smart. he's quick and he's thoughtful. one of the interesting things is he built his business in

what health is preferred month for invasion is mulch and this weapon of choice is the new york times and almost white house official tells the times iraq supplying w m d to mainstream media repeat without question it was a total lie on the second anniversary of syria anonymous white house official says iran is blowing the rings even though all thinks the u.s. intelligence agencies admit iran does not have a nuclear weapons program nor the most white house official tells the times iraq's about to use chemical weapons it was a law i don't know the most white house official told the times syria's about to use chemical weapons mainstream repeating it without question we're even told things that don't exist iraq supposedly had some chemical agent fifteen it was a lawyer in twenty thirteenth e.i.a. claims a quote compelling case syria is using the same thing now the only problem is there's no such thing as agent fifteen leaked emails as america is trying to plant a chemical weapon which washington says would justify invasion we've got a new offer it's about syria again qatar is proposing t

cybersecurity experts telecom pan knees to buy more software but what we saw with the new york times is an attack the times said in particular was done by the syrian electronic army or somebody trying to appear like the syrian electr electronic army. that's a group loosely affiliate idea the with bashar al-assad which raises questions for companies and institutions trying to defend against cyber attacks. will they reap blow back for foreign u.s. policy decisions as hackers respond by targeting american companies? that's something new that we haven't seen before. >> this has to hit them in the pocketbook. what kind of lopses are we talking about? >> "the new york times" website was down for certain people trying to access it, not necessarily for everybody. they were trying to get it up quickly. the revenues lost probably not significant. what the problem will be is if the hackers are able to get beyond just the public facing website and get into the guts of some companies and get credit card information and material operations of the company, that's where you see significant losses. >>

and "the new york times" going down yesterday. and it looks as though, at this point, it's assad supporters that have targeted both twitter and "the new york times." this is what the syrian electronic army says in this statement, but let me tell what you "the times" said. our website was unable to use for a time on tuesday. the result was an attack on the domain registrar. we're at work and fully regret if this caused you any inconvenience. still seems to be having problems this morning, by the way. >> we'll keep an eye on both of these? >> yes. >> twitter back up and running or just aspects of twitter affected? >> for some of us, they were not affected. this is the new era. hacking, especially hacking for political purposes or to make a statement. >> absolutely. >> something that all the major companies, not just media companies, but everybody who's got a business. and they've got a business, percepti perception online, spending an awful lot of money trying to protect their computers and access. >> christine, thank you for the upd

at 6:45 we will check with jane king at the new york. >> america's pain of record is making it clear it is not for sale and the family that owns "new york times" says in an e-mail to staff it has if plans to sell, secondlation was building all week that "new york times" could be the next one to go on the mark after the sale of the boston globe and the "washington post" and the family that own "new york times" say they plan on continuing the association with the paper for "years to come." they added that the paper is profitable and generates strong cash flow. >> here are headlines in the weather department: split pea soup. >> okay. >> food analogy in the morning is tough. >> trying to think of something more appetizing in the morning but that works. outside, now, it is a soupy start because of the we mist and drizzle. can you see it is just that, not rain, on live doppler 7 hd and we are seeing at the love cloud cover and if you head up to mount tamalpais we can see the sunrise today and you have to go around 2,500 or 2,600' to a great look of sunrise on the way. we will have slow sunshine again probably not as slow as yesterday and you can se

british government having to destroy computers in their offices, they have partnered with the "new york timesmplementer on snowden's leak changes the dynamic in terms of how the administration responds or doesn't? >> right. playing an important role in this. it's important. it's been a little bit of an embarrassment we had a british newspaper being the one to tell us about our sort of dirty laundry. it's going to be an interesting moment to see what exactly "the new york times" is able to come out with. >> but you know, i also want to know how much this changes things. we hear about changes with the fisa court and transparency there and the court has released more of its decision making -- >> a page -- >> yeah. the court's next to to be on instagram. bob corker on fox news said i would imagine there's members of the intelligence committee themselves don't that don't fully understand the gamut of things taking place. >> one thing we've seen, the apparatus built for spying on punitively terrorists is so much bigger and more powerful than any terrorism network that it could possibly dream of tar

former "new york times" editor bill keller. and john harris, editor in chief of politico. there's a lot to cover, but this is "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs from cbs news in washington, "face the nation" with bob schieffer. >> schieffer: and good morning again, michael hayden who served as both the c.i.a. and n.s.a. director now consulted for the cherdov group here in washington, joins us as our lead guest this morning. general, the president made that news conference on friday, and he said the american people need to know more about what the national security agency is doing because there are a growing number of people in the congress who are wondering is the n.s.a. infringing on americans' right to privacy? what do you think-- you ran the place. what do you think is is the most significant thing that the president side? >> well, it was a very interesting speech, and it was a speech in front of a press conference. to me, the most telling thing he said was perhaps something he didn't quite say. he didn't suggest he was going to operationally change this prog

's an interesting dynamic.

i have a theory of why "the new york times" did the story.g about the clintons sells newspapers and it's -- this election is not for three more years. we have to deal with this daily. there's going to be great stories about them, stories that question their background and that's going to be inevitable for them. and what she will have to do and you're right on this point, if they get this out now they can move on and she can start to articulate whatever her plan and agenda and ideas for america is going to be. >> one of the -- >> this is like busting somebody for shoplifting when they have bodies out in the back. taking -- this is a victory for hillary, taking the heat off the benghazi cover-up which is a huge story and a massive story that she was a part of but as long as you focus on the really boring crap like this clinton foundation stuff, it's like you said, out there, boring. stay away from the ugly stuff that could bring her down. i think. >> bob, charles krauthammer weighed in on hillary clinton running for president. she announced a s

"new york times" main website is down this morning, with a hacker group claiming responsibility from syria which supports embattled syrian president bashar al-assad. we are learning new details on how they hacked the site. the "los angeles times" says they gain access to user name and password of a sales partner of "new york times" and here is what you find on "new york times" website when trying to access the site you get a emergency saying it cannot be found.

in case the media was so mad, that the "new york times" wrote a scathing article about it. they just ask them all sorts of nice things. it kind of read like the conversations i imagine they have. but it's actually on tape. >> i just think it's beautiful to keep a relationship so fresh for so long. they can just spice it up every year. it's a beautiful marriage. >> they could write a self help book on how to stay married. >> what was his name, robert putnam? an amazing moment between the press and the president. >> it probably says more about me than it does about them. the reporter says you know, robert put familinam. president obama says, well, yes, bob and i are very close. as if to say, i'm a little bit closer to the new york professor than you are. he went to harvard too. but he doesn't act or talk like these guys. i'm surprised at some of the questions that were asked, it seems that they were so afraid of president's obama's notorious thin skin for bad news coverage. ine tabably, the president would say, it wasn't as bad as i said it was going to be. >> i think it's re

is looking into a massive computer hack that shut down the "new york times" website. the syrian electronic army claims responsibility for that attack. it's apparently the second incident in two weeks to strike the times. as the outgoing security secretary raised the issue of cyber terrorism in her farewell speech yesterday at the national press club. >> our country will, for example, at some point face a major cyber event that will have a serious effect on our lives, our economy and the every day functioning of our society. while we have built systems, protections and a framework to identify attacks and intrusions, share information with the private sector and across the government and develop plans and capabilities to mitigate the damage, more must be done and must be done quickly. jon: cyber terrorism expert and former adviser to the state department's anti-terrorism assistance program and also the c.e.o. of connected to the case, he joins us now. how worrisome is this attack on the times, morgan? >> you know, jon, what it has the effect of doing is creating distrus

open is a great time of year here in new york, dylan.er will cooperate. >> it should. today maybe a couple of showers later on this afternoon, but it actually looks okay in the northeast. the show is on across parts of the midwest. it's getting better. instead of the upper 90s, we're in the lower 90s. 80 degrees in chicago. we have heat advisories and warnings posted again across especially southern minnesota where it will feel like it's up around 100 degrees especially this afternoon where you factor in the humidity. it will be in the mid 90s. most of the midwest will see the heat all the way until sunday. that's when we are going to see some improvements. we are keeping an eye on rain. it does look like for all the activities in washington, d.c., it looks like after 3:00, 4:00 we could see scattered showers and storms. in 1963, brian, it was so hot that they had all of these heat emergencies and first responders were out to deal with some of the heat that was going on. >> i think obama is supposed to speak before the rain comes in. >>>

>> reporter: it's critical in the sense that they were able to essentially hijack "the new york times that people simply could not gain access to it. it disappeared. they did this by rerouting traffic to a different ip address. it appears the integrity of "the new york times" website was not compromised, just people's ability to get there. one former law enforcement official described it, saying it's like switching signs on the highway and sending people down the wrong ramp. the group claiming responsibility is the syrian electronic army. it's believed to support the government of syrian president assad. really, it could be anyone. that's what they're looking into now. it's a sophisticated attack. it targets an outside search engine. two weeks ago, a search engine was targeted that tends to direct traffic here to us at cnn, also "the washington post" and "time" magazine. it does happen several times a year. this is something -- i was speaking to somebody, they were very clear, they said look, this is not about hackers really, it's about people are either trying to get attention, make

"the washington post" experienced this quite of a problem with their web site as well. one more time, "the new york times" now saying that their assessment of the problems at their website, are, quote, the result of a malicious external attack. in english, they're getting hacked. back to you. cheryl: adam shapiro that was the perfect english for this type of attack. adam shapiro with breaking news on "the new york times" website. we'll follow that with you. >>> back to the discussion, we're looking at wells fargo, we're talking about mortgage r

identities of the al qaeda leaders whose conversations were intercepted were withheld by the "new york timese request of senior american intelligence officials. so "the times" reporters knew but they didn't say in the article because the government asked them not to say. then on sunday, reporters from mcclachy wrote about the same inter-september and went ahead and printed the guys' names. "after the government became aware of this article, the mcclatchey article, the government dropped its objections to "the times" publishing the same information. it is kind of ridiculous that everything we know about national security we know because of leaks. that is the way our government communicates with us about counterterrorism and national security issues, even just law enforcement to a certain extent. it's anonymous sources titrating information to reporters and nothing is ever official. and you can see the way they're sort of trying to balance their strategy here. the embassies all being closed for a long time, that's a big deal. you want people to know that this big deal thing you have done is ju

new york times which never talk about these things the cia has been propagandizing the american people through the us media since world war two there's a whole part of the cia hold off aeration mockingbird they may have changed the name but i'm sure it's still around operation mockingbird is that operation in the cia that is and because of the media there were i forget it's six seven hundred fairly high level in winchell cia assets paid by the c. hey you know the media and so it's not surprising that many news articles and hollywood movies are intelligence operations they just one thing also of war is the law about how can a film be a war crime well as did the international covenant on civil and political rights makes it illegal to engage in war propaganda people who have billion dollar media industries at their fingertips are not supposed to be pushing war propaganda and that's what our goal is and more effectively because it's not recognized as such but it's it's packed full of lies that it depicts irradiance as mad ish is human animals but one that you cited earlier of putting out f

fairness of the media's race coverage here in washington, brian beutler, and in new york, cnn anchor don lemon and "new york times" columnist charles blow. before we start this discussion i want to take a look at two different takes on the shooting death of australian baseball player chris lane. >> alan west has tweeted this. quote, three black teens shoot white jogger. who will president of the united states identify with this time? excellent point. i wonder when celebrities are going to put on i am chris lane t-shirts. >> why isn't al sharpton protesting this? i protest when i'm called in and when there's an injustice. the three were arrested. there was nothing to protest. the system worked there. >> now, we should point out that steve doocy was mistaken and we later discovered that two of the young people accused of this crime were black and one of them was white. so, charles, i want to go to you first and ask, you wrote a great column on friday that talked about a weariness and outright hostility about the continued focus on racial equality that we're seeing in society today. have media displays like what we

this coming on the heels of the "new york times" fire sale of the "boston globe," unloading the paper to red sox owner john henry for seven cents on the dollar. so what do the "washington post," "the new york times," "the boston globe," and let's add the "l.a. times" and the "chicago tribune," what do they all have in common? well, they're flunking the digital revolution. they're also ignoring center-right conservative readers. and therefore, they're getting slammed by new media competition. at least that's my take. so here's my question. can bad content be a killer for these crashing newspapers? let's talk. we have mark walsh, co-host of "left jab" on sirius radio, and syndicated columnist radio host hue hewitt and michael medved. as i live and breathe. thank you, gentlemen. hugh hewitt-i want to get your take on this. i think that part of this story is that they're not talking to their suburban readers, their moderates, their center-right readers, it's just content people don't want and they can go elsewhere now on the web. >> exactly right, larry. i don't know if there is any besid

the new york times website is under a cyber attack. in lawrence simonetti from the floor of the new york stock exchange. >> stock is down by 1.4%. the website of the times is under cyber attack. we have reached out. no response just yet. officials have been huddling with outside security professionals to assess the threat. that stock is down, as is the overall market. the ten year yield, by the way, is flat right now. cheryl: thank you very much. appreciate it very much. we have more on the market now. your office is pretty bullish on equities. i was looking at this article. they were looking at valuations now versus back in 2007. stocks are overvalued now just like they were in 2007. are you seeing any signs of that? >> we are probably overdue for a correction. the overall market is 16 times. a lot of them are nine, ten, 11 times. we are seeing this interesting flow into corporate bonds. this after a credit rating cut. it was oversubscribed. people went crazy. >> there is so much demand out there. there is this unquenchable thirst. you

"the new york times" did, right after the attacks, the guy was having like a fuzzy navel at a cafe. the president once sounded like o.j. he said, we're going to track down the real killers. unless the real killers are somewhere behind the 17th green, it ain't happening. >> rick, on president obama's grand bargain, he claims that he has a plan, but republicans keep blocking him and maybe these distractions keep getting in the way. what do you make of that? >> i think this was a big turning point this week. the whole phony scandal comment from the white house and from the president i think was a real overplay and you saw a lot of reporters begin to say, wait a minute, here. not all reporters, but, you know, mark murray, who is a political editor for nbc news, was one of these that's constantly duped by the obama administration. specifically on this story where he offered up what was supposedly a new plan on the economy. and what we saw was it was a campaign speech, nothing new, except mark murray jumped immediately to say, here we go again, the white house is making another concession

the "new york times" demanding they retract some of the comments. me about that. >> ridiculous and classless. i think the "new york times" has a real problem sometimes, other people get scoops and recognizing the contributions of other journalists. if they bothered to read the report she would see what she put out there was factually inaccurate. i feel strongly they should have a retraction, clearly the "new york times" management can't step up to the plate and admit they made a mistake. >> shocking behavior by the "new york times." you were right, they were wrong. turning to the general news agenda since michael's death, he loved all this, wouldn't he? the nsa, edward snowden, the chatter, right up his wheelhouse? >> no, i mean, absolutely. there isn't a more contiguous time for national security reporters than right now. a crackdown on national security reporters. they're risking going to prison if they don't reveal their sources. they have launched investigations on war whistle-blowers in the previous three administrations combined. definitely th
