and i thought fake news has always been with us since "the gazette," engravings, william randolph hurst, joseph hulpulit. is there a danger in giving this a new term in that people will dismiss the other side by using the term, fake news? >> yes, there is a danger. yes, there is. i'm so glad you raised that question. jefferson rejects any attempts to distinguish between facts and opinions. he says, because the natural rights of conscience are individual, and each individual must decide for him or herself what is true and what is false, to empower a judge or a government official or a 27-year-old lawyer at facebook to decide what is true and what is false would be anathema to our inail yelienable rights of conscience. so i reject proposal business some that facebook should decide what is true and what is false and label the false stuff. that is up to citizens to decide for themselves. this is not rejecting the enlightenment faith in facts. i mean, we must, as a society, converge around the idea that there is a distinction between truth and falsehood, but ultimately, deciding what falls o

some of those things that caused geary and randolph and mason not to sign the final constitution because they had such profound disagreements and were concerned with having a bill of rights which was not part of original constitution. so i enjoy the notes. you learn from them but again, those don't necessarily control -- those help you understand, but they don't control over the actual words of the document. so too the federalist papers. they help you understand what's going on, and they help you understand the government but you have to be focused on the words. >> thank you, judge. >> eight minutes, i'm gonna give senator lehe what time he needs off my time. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll be very brief. how you doing? >> i'm doing great, it's an honor to be here, senator. >> i'll leave that alone. [ crowd noise ] >> in your current employment then, with obama, you went out of your way to say not only is the dragnet part of america's telephone recordings by the national security agency okay because it's not a search, you also said -- and i didn't see any support in this, that even if i

250 of great media in this country and, yes, there's always a risk that some media baron, william randolpherst, rupert mourdock, henry luce, jeff bezos, there may be a fear that they somehow would use their outlet, their publication both to advance their political goals or to advance their personal and business goals. so you've got to be on the watchout for that. you don't see a hint of that in jeff bezos, and i can promise you, you're not going to see a hint of that in mark banioff i know him he's going to be purer than the driven snow when it comes to running a media outlet. >> very interesting. let's talk about the three magazines that meredith still has on the block, "fortune" and "money" which could be a parlay and "sports illustrated" which they've voiced an interest in selling. who would the natural buyers be and which of those will get the best price, maybe a bigger price than "time" did? >> you're a veteran of "fortune" magazine >> no, "money. >> it was all under don huey. >> it was. >> i think that's a really good property you might even go off set and ask the people at cnbc do t

fact, compounding those with the recent proposal to close more than two-thirds of polling places in randolph county georgia were more than 60% of the residents are black? wouldn't you agree that it's probably? >> i'm not aware that specific but as i had the south carolina id photic is what i try to make clear to the trial in the case in the opinion which was unanimous that the reality of racial discrimination in america exists, along march racial equality is not over and that court must scrutinize efforts to look for discriminatory intent or discriminatory effects. >> and do you believe that the court in shelby underestimated the danger that states, that was presented in terms of states willingness to restrict the right to vote? >> i don't want to comment on, i think that's getting to the practice or incorrectness of shelby in particular. i just want to underscore how this as i recall the opinion it did say congress itself could adjust the formula for preclearance, and i don't think congress has done so but speedy it's fairly i'm going to do it. there will have to be some recourse, , don't y
