chairman michael -- rupert murdoch. they are joining us tonight as the partnership releases a new report on the increasingly important role of immigrants in starting new businesses of all sizes and in all sectors, the copies of which will be made available hopefully as you leave here this evening. mayor bloomberg, after an enormously successful business career, has gone on to an enormously successful career in public service. we new englanders claim him as one of our own. the gift to the big apple. and as one of mr. murdoch's headline writers might say, "local boy makes good." mr. murdoch, as you all know, took the newspaper business from down under and over the competition -- up and over the competition to make news corp. a truly global business. for him, the headline might be, "media mogul routes rivals." his international perspective on the intersection of business and immigration will be fascinating to hear. to moderate the discussion, we are pleased to welcome jerry seib, the assistant manager and editor and execut

many people say it's no coincidence that rupert murdoch owns it.s saying after one of the most difficult years in his long newspaper career. right now it's time for "healthwatch" with dr. holly phillips. >> good morning. in today's "healthwatch," the ups and downs of yo-yo dieting. you may have heard that yo-yo dieting, meaning losing weight and putting it back on and repeating the cycle makes it harder to lose weight in the future. but it turns out that may not be true. for a new study, researchers followed nearly 450 overweight or obese women ages 50 to 75. those who followed a reduced calorie plan lost 9% of their body weight and those who dieted and exercised lost 11%. but here's where it gets interesting. 42% of the participants had a history of weight cycling, meaning losing and then regaining 10 or more pounds on three or morrow indications. but those women, the yo-yo dieters, lost to the same amount of weight as nonpsyche letters. good news for people who have struggled with their weight. despite the ups and downs, when it comes to taking o

political system let's look at how he reacts to competition this is a tweet from rupert murdoch simple equation free open uncontrollable internet versus shackled newspapers equals no newspapers let's get real so instead of competing. he wants to raise barriers to to free internet not remove his barriers as they are perceived in the newspaper space he doesn't want to compete you know that's murdoch's as i've been saying for years of open competitive landscape he's never been able to compete if he has a monopoly position with satellites you can compete but when it comes to real competition he's a failure as a businessman always has been and harry's castigating the internet because it's providing competition to his model of doing business which is out of business does he want what he wants a government basically to give him protection you know if he's a buggy whip manufacturer he wants with cameron to give him protection as a buggy whip manufacturer and his model of doing business was out of date rupert is an octogenarian porn vendor and he's going the same way as porn is going the intern

the bad rupert murdoch over the weekend rupert murdoch the media mogul founder of fox news tonight about a new conspiracy theory that he's getting ready to spoon feed to his audience of scared white americans in his tweet murdoch plugged former journalist ed klein's new book which alleges that former president clinton that the former president bill clinton called president obama an amateur and told his wife secretary clinton that she should run for president against obama this year a claim both clintons adamantly deny murdoch went on to say that the conspiracy laden book was one quote every voter should read and klein has a history of playing fast and loose with the facts in his books politico said his two thousand and five book about hillary clinton was quote full of serious factual errors so it sounds like you'll fit right in with the fox news audience which is more uninformed than americans who watch no news at all and the very very ugly dr murray isha agana a gun is running against incumbent congressman tim ryan in ohio's thirteenth district yesterday she took to twitter to express h

i would ignore this, but today kristen and rupert issued public apologies. kristen said this momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person i love and respect the most, rob. is it -- this woman had a werewolf and a vampire fighting over her, she goes for a guy named rupert. so, she is sharpied out of my "twilight" cast poster. this is scary. two uranium enrichment plants in iran were hit by computer hackers. they unleashed a virus that not only shut down the computers in the plant and made the computers blast an ac/dc song at top volume. scientists are there -- just a fun prank against some good-natured folks. no major damage has been done. they could have had the "call me maybe" virus or even worse, the dreaded miley cyrus virus, which is -- iran is taking the attack seriously. this morning, president mahmoud a-members only-jacket, condemned it in a televised address to his people. >> to those responsible for the cowardly attack on our nuclear facility, these are dirty deeds done dirt cheap. dirty deeps done dirt chea

session for this thursday, august the 9th, and there's a lot going on today including a loss for rupert murdoch's news corp. and the greatest olympic medal celebration of the 2012 olympics. look at that guy go, look at him. first, let's get to the news here at 30 rock in new york city. president obama is campaigning in colorado. the president is trying to build on one of his strengths, his fav favorability with women voters. >> when it comes to a woman's right to make her own health care choices, they want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21 century. the decisions that affect a woman's health are not up to politicians. they're not up to insurance companies, they're up to you. and you deserve a president who will fight to keep it that way. >> also joining the president is sandra fluke, the law school student that was targeted by rush limbaugh. >> this election will decide whether the rights that generations of women fought for will be rolled back. president obama has our backs, and now we have him. but the romney camp is fighting back declaring that the h

not even rupert murdoch would come up with that. we just did that because it is what made us feel good. now we are thinking, with the burning man project -- it is interesting. my partners and i are thinking beyond our lifetimes. it is a bit of a legacy project. which is really interesting, an interesting exercise. that makes you feel differently about the present. so what would make something that durable? what would keep it alive that long? we have been alive and have grown for a quarter-century. it may not be hard to imagine an entire century at all. now we are found in an institution that will house and generate culture, and function as a community. wondering how we can be sure that it is not perverted, subject to internal divisions, will not perish. and that is a really good exercise, too. think about doing something that will last 100 years. >> thinking about the next couple of minutes, we should have questions from audience members. who ever has a question, start lining up. i'm going to ask one more and then we can start going

rupert lacey from harrison coun county, mississippi. thank you very much. we'll head over to tampa where john berman is standing by. >> today is paul ryan day officially here in tampa. the which is wednesday congressman will address the republican convention tonight in prime time as he accepts the nomination to be mitt romney's running mate. now, last night really just a few hours ago the gop got their party started with ann romney. she talked about the compassionate mitt romney and why america can and must trust him to fix the nation's problems. >> you may not agree with mitt's positions on issues or his politics. by the way, massachusetts is only 13% republican, so it's not like it's a shock to me. but let me say this to every american who is thinking about who should be our next president. no one will work harder. no one will care more. and in one will move heaven and earth like mitt romney to make this country a better place to live. >> ann romney followed by new jersey governor chris christie who used part of his speech to make the case against preside

thing -- rupert is an immigrant. cannot be easy to leave australia, come to the other side of the world literally, give up all your friends and family, everything you know, and start out from scratch. that is what people are willing to do. of course immigrants are going to be more aggressive. of course they will be more risk takers. that is why they have come here. your son will want to go to work in a place where there are other engineering companies. that is the duty of the boston area, which has the big high- tech industries. york, where we are creating one. austin, texas, silicon valley. -- new york, where we are creating one. they want to be where there are other people doing the same thing, other companies. the way business works is you split off. people go back and forth. you copy each other. you work to -- you work together. you buy from, you sell to. unless someone starts the process, your son will not have a job. >> in silicon valley, you suddenly realize it is misnamed. it is not the silicon. it is the evi

come when the news continues, there may be a connection to that racy picture of prince harry and rupert murdoch. details at 5:19. >>> find out why the redskins sent some players packing. that's coming up at 5:22. >> howard is up next with the forecast. you're watching 9news now. >>> welcome back. it is 5:13 and 76 degrees. there's a couple of issues that we've had to deal with early this morning. first of all, i'm going to start off with the good news. no issues on the beltway. that construction near the bw parkway and route 50 was cleared up. there was an accident southbound bw parkway right near route 50. that should be in its clearing stages as well. let's take a live look outside and show what you it looks like from our mdot camera. here's what it looks like on 270 at father hurley boulevard. no issues as you come in from frederick down to the point where the lanes divide. we'll go back over to our maps. the issue on the northbound side of i-95 was actually a tractor-trailer accident right before dumfries. it's been moved to the shoulder but it left all this slow traffic for the ear

look, rupert murdoch believes in climate change. he has said it, he says he is proud of making fox news the leader -- not just fox news, news corporation -- the leading green media company. the leading -- news corporation. the same one that's on there in three dozen news segments that called scientists scam artists. yet rupert murdoch himself, the ceo, brags about how much he's doing to combat climate change. how do you explain that? that is in the book. how do you explain that? makes money. it's a publicly-traded company. it's a flawed model. you know, i don't think there's anything wrong with people making money, but there's got to be some kind of balancing with the public good. i think "the new york times" does a pretty good job of that. iraq war, you know, if we don't talk too much about them not fact checking the iraq war and all the people dead as a result of that. but, you know, generally speaking "the new york times" has a mission which is to provide a public service, and they're for-profit. have you do that? i guess -- can

rupert murdoch said all of his minions like william crystal were talking about what a great choice he would be. it seems like what we have is the melga wealthy deciding we have a candidate we have already bought. we want t i ierer h h into t t vp sloloere and the rest of the media goes on just like, oh that's normal. okay. here are the guys. went to vegas to collect a bribe. bribe. >> that's hour our system works. >> you are right. to hear rupert murdoch say those things is the greatest irony because if there were one person in the world most responsible for having americans talk about issues less, it's ruperred murdoch murdoch. the fact he is saying those things. else appeasing the conservatives, to kiss sheldon a little bitson religious gold ring. >> michael shure in las vegas. i hope you took some money off of adelson. >> not yet. we will try to get in this there later. >> don't lose money to him. when we come back, you know, they have got a new lie out. they are running it all over the place about how president obama stole $700 million from medicare. what a crock of crap. i am goi

rupert murdoch on the media. george bush was president. norman lear had his pulse on american culture for 30 years. why cannot figure out how to deal -- deliver a message that is important and happening? >> that is important. we can find messages that speak to people where they are. they can also have some satire like stewart or colbert. there is the idea of exposing with satire. it opens people's eyes to the hypocrisy and corruption of our politics. the problem is you want the captivating stories and images and vocabulary, but a lot of the colbert-stewart stuff is so absurd and over the top that people do not want to get engaged. >> that is where a large number of people get their news. >> i think the obama campaign was a pivotal point, bringing people in. now they leave. there is the possibility that people will come back in. i agree with that movements also have their problems. i think it is a moment of people waking up to the possibility of engagement in different ways, where they are, in communities, finding ways -- it is important no

and hey, if rupert murdoch and bill crystal are happy, who are the rest of us to complain? >> i want to come back to that point, but robin, you spent yesterday putting together a profile with other reporters in the field of paul ryan. >> yes. yes. >> does the pundit class tend to forget that most americans, i bet most californians, have no idea who this congressman is? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. we do this with all of our political coverage, i think. we tend to think something is a well-known fact when it isn't, when we realize somebody like paul ryan gets picked who we were speculating about someone else. we have to dispatch reporters to janesville, wisconsin, his hometown, beat the doors and bushes, figure out who is this guy. there will be a lot of who is this guy in the coming days and weeks, i suspect. ben smith, coming back to the media coverage what is striking to me exnobody i have seen in the press is questioning paul ryan's qualifications or his experience, he is a long-time capitol hill hand before he even became a member of congress t is all about his policies. is

the move comes in the whack wake of the married director, rupert sanders, apologizing.al, clearly would have been awkward if they did get back together, director and stewart to reunite for a sequel. there is no clear reason why they would move forward without stewart. universal did not respond to any requests for comment. >> unclear if rupert sanders will return to direct a sequel. unclear if there is a sequel. so basically, the whole story is unclear. >> unclear. but one thing is clear, she won't be back if there is a sequel. >> kate middleton has a cousin who likes to pose nude. all right. >> not a good thing when you are >> in the upcoming edition, september edition of "playboy" katrina darling will grace the cover of "playboy." the 25th cousin, five times removed. no. she is the second cousin, once removed. get this she had no idea she was related to kate middleton until 2011. get this, a member of the uk press called darling to inform her of her cousin. and surprised when she discovered her family lineage. quote, it was the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.

really, rupert? don't! i've washed a few cupcake tins in my day... oh, so you're a tin expert now.i, kitchen counselor here. he's actually right... with cascade complete. see cascade complete pacs work like thousands of micro-scrubbing brushes to help power away tough foods even in corners and edges. so, i was right, right? i've gotta run. more dishwasher brands in north america recommend cascade. the calcium they take because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now i can be in the scene. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may h

freedom of speech protesters and this brings up the question about the media it's no yeah for example rupert murdoch who is caught spying on people illegally now he's come under some fire but for the rest of the mainstream media you have this incredible collusion with wall street and with washington and they have put out a. picture that vilifies anyone is for freedom of speech and he one who's for corporate occupation like batman is considered a hero so you are fighting not only the. tendency away toward freedom of speech but you're fighting all of the institutions in america lined up the press the economy the government lined up against you in this assault this institutionalized assault on free speech so the odds of you winning are about the same as the colonies winning in seventeen seventy six with the british occupation to the does the does the occupy movement understand that they've got a real battle here i hope so i think that i mean i want more than just people who identify with occupy to to realize that this is a real battle i want i want to end i mean the entire middle class of ameri
