rupert also owns "the australian." he owns the "wall street journal." bloomberg sprung from nowhere to create progress of journalism online. i will respectfully disagree on that. >> thinking about california watch, we feature them regularly, and they are doing excellent investigative work. is anyone familiar with those, and can you talk about the success and where you see that going? do you think that we will see more of these kinds of outlets? >> i think that paying for news journalism and especially for news journalism with a variety of political agendas, historically in san francisco, was paid for by real estate and automotive and help-wanted advertising. it was not paid for by the circulation nichols of the subscribers. if you think about government- boned journalism compared to the rich, benevolent owner boulders of journalism or the public opening of journalism, i think there is a time now where you do not need quite as much funding as ever, but some of the people who today are seen as barron's -- barons started off with a pretty defined journalis

rupert murdoch, for all the criticism he gets, is invested in the media and innovation. mike bloomberg is doing a ton of stuff through his company. they are hiring hundreds of people. i worked at bloomberg 15 years ago, and i was in europe as a foreign correspondent. there were 40 journalists, and now, there are thousands. i think it depends on the interests of certain people, but they are being

rupert murdoch is saying look, romney ought to come out with a pathway to citizenship for hispanics in this country. that's not where the republican party is right now. >> that's not true, the platform includes for example a recognition that we've got to do a better job on guest passes for workers, there's an expansion and commitment to expand it. there's an aspect of the platform that addresses easing the process on visas so we retain the talented folks that come here to study and we encourage them to stay here. so the party is moving in the right direction. you're not going to solve the immigration problem in the hot rhetoric of a presidential campaign. and the travesty of all of this is that president obama sat on his hands for four years, before he did anything as a president to make it easier for some of the young people who through no fault of their own are in the united states and by virtue of education, service in the military a lot of us feel that they have earned a right to stay here. >> that was former new hampshire governor, john sununu on "press pass," we'll take a break a

rupert murdoch believes in climate change. 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 and three dozen news segments that called scientists scam are tyes. 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? it's a publicly traded company. it's a flawed mogd. 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 god. i think "the new york times" does a good job that have. 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. can you do that? i guess can t can be done. i know, i went off your question. >> thank you.

next up, rupert murdoch tweets today that romney has to stand up to the party fringe. quote, this is rupert talking, to win romney must open big tent to sympathetic families. stop fearing far right which has nowhere else to go. otherwise no hope. well, that's murdoch talking, that's fox talking, and that's "the wall street journal" talking. joe scarborough again said something that he said yesterday. he expressed dismay at his party's choice of romney. let's listen. >> why is it that republicans as a party is getting more conservative than ever have selected a guy that has decided as a "wall street journal" editorial page says, i'm not going to tell anybody what i'm going to do if i'm president? >> well, that "wall street journal" editorial piece joe refers to reads in part, mr. romney's pre-existing political calculation seems to be that he can win the election without having to explain the economic moment or even his own policies. such vagueness carries its own political risks. i love this stuff. joining me is poe litico politico's jonathan martin and "washington pos

. >> rupert murdoch is tweeting. he says, to win, romney must open big tent to sympathetic families. stop fearing far right which has no where else to go. otherwise, no hope. that sounds like a move to the middle piece of advice. >> it's move to the middle but it's a little bit like darth vader you need to be warmer in immediatings. this is a stretch, rupert is telling us to be sympathetic, have a big tent, he owns fox news. putting that all aside, yes. even the people committed to those strategies as a prophet and political project, are coming around saying that mitt romney has to find a new way to speak to indiana voters. it's fashion to say conventions are pointless nowadays, they're not. they're the one time that people hear directly from the candidates. they spoke directly to the public and they say here's our thing, it's really vague, it's negative and we don't like obama and the public said is that all you got? >> if i can speak to that, to a certain extent all politicians try to avoid going into the details b

rupert, give us the perspective, then, in japan. >> well, i think the greatest concern from the debt- from the japanese government here comes from the japanese media, the ones going on in china with the destruction of japanese property. they could get caught up in these protests. a relatively well ordered and peaceful protest. over the weekend there were very large-scale protests and a great deal of destruction of japanese boned the park -- japanese owned department stores, car show rooms ransacked. this is a very serious attack on japanese interest in china. that has led to the closing down of a large number of japanese factories in china. we understand that honda, toyota, and a large number of japanese companies have shut down their operations in china. japan is a huge investor and employer in china. >> there are fears of a direct clash in the area that is being controlled by ships from both nations. >> if you like, this is the wild card in all of this. the japanese government does not want to see this dispute get out of hand. there have been japanese coast guard vessels and japane
