head honcho rupert murdoch last night. money in a world he knows rupert murdoch's pockets are enormously deep and important. joining me is jim moore, the author of ""adios." these expenses, first of all, what do you make of the meeting between rupert murdoch and the governor of texas? how important was this? >> when i first heard about that, i was thinking maybe he's setting him up for a television program after he loses the election. who knows? obviously this is a guy whose favor he wants to curry. murdoch's reach in this country obviously with fox news, his network, his publications is very wide and he wants to curry favor with him. anything that the fox network broadcasts, perry wants it to be good news. he doesn't want anything to be critical. i think it's a combination of things. he's got a lot of friends who can raise a lot of money as well as exposing rick perry to a lot of positive publicity. >> well, last week it was donald trump in new york with governor perry. and i think that was all about the governor saying,

rupert murdoch, for all the criticism he gets, is invested in the media and innovation.ike 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 tapped, and you can get them to lend to foundations and do this type of stuff. it is just creating the bridge from the journalism world into that world, and it is not as hard as you would think, in my experience. >> i would just say that a few of those individuals you had mentioned are not examples of the types of progress of journalism that i think a lot of people are here to talk about and listened of route -- was it about. these guys are kind of villains in a sense of where we want journalism to go. fox news and the daily, who knows where that is going to go, but they are not necessarily public-interested, public radio, public tv, public press minded people. >> that is an opinio

and the phone hacking scandal fox network which aired the emmys and is owned by rupert murdoch censored the joke and cut it out of the show completely so in response baldwin we got of the emmys took to his twitter account to say cox did kill my news corp back in joke which sucks because i think it would have made them look better a little if i were him best and meshed in a scandal where i hacked phones of families of innocent victims really for profit i'd want that to go away to. the bad senate minority leader mitch mcconnell if you thought republican leadership was going to call for a rebuke of the calls for death that have echoed out of republican debates lately i think you get a period i meet the press yesterday senator mcconnell was asked whether the audience cheering for rick perry's guy high record of executions and for policies that would allow the death of uninsured americans reason republican debates trouble here. does the audience response in both cases trouble you as a republican. look we have a lot of people running for president do you want to be a lot of debates a lot of t

was the rupert murdoch, news of the world phone hacking.ere front and center in parliament talking about that. as you said, does james murdoch still got questions to answer about this, and secondly, do you believe this is the end of the cozy relationship that's existed between your government and previous governments and the murdoch empire in. >> basically, the answer to both is, yes. on the second point, i think the relationship will change. i think it has been too close to cozy, as i put it, too much time was spent courting, whether it was the murdoch, but everyone from the bbc and the guardian newspapers, politicians are always try to get across their message. and win applaudants from the media. i think we spend too much time on that. the right regulatory to deal with media abuses, we don't. that's one of the things that the review will do. >> all right, prime minister, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and you can find more of my interview with prime minister cameron on abcnews.com/thisweek. >>> and up n

we have seen a lot of efforts, but things like rupert murdoch's daily have not excited us on a journalistic level. but i think we are laying groundwork for some institutions that they possibly do that in the next three to five years. >> i'm wondering what you think it would take for it to go to that next level and provide quality journalism. >> i just want to offer a slight difference of opinion. i think that we are seeing a couple of things happen right now. they are positive things that are happening. while it may be true that the first wave of online-only journalism tended to be national and international criticism and opinion, which got the name of blogs, what we are actually seeing of the local level is something even more exciting than that. as newspapers have become challenged, and we have seen, sadly, the destruction of capabilities of newspaper and local television stations and other media in the local arena, we are seeing a new layer journalism being created at the local level. some startups such as the "bases and close " in san francisco, "texas tribune" out in texas -- there hav

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

the most shocking thing about the news that tony blair is godfather to one of rupert murdoch's children is that nobody was really shocked at all. and today labour is in hock to the trade union barons, after their government stipend, 95% of labour's money comes from unions. most of it from just four of them. let me be clear, the values of trade unionism are as relevant as ever. supporting workers. fighting for fairness at work. but i don't think the unions should be able to buy themselves a political party. ed miliband says he wants to loosen the ties between labour and the union barons who helped him beat his brother. let's see him put his money where his mouth is. let's see if he'll support radical reform of party funding. every previous attempt has been blocked by the vested interests in the other two parties. we are all stuck in a system that we know is wrong. we've all been damaged by it. but if we learned anything from the expenses scandal. it is surely that if the system's broken. we should not wait for the next scandal. we should fix it and fix it fast. so whether it is securing

studio j, but it's not just fox news, folks, this story has been picked up all across things rupert murdoch owns, like yesterday's "new york post" "ogives jobs clip service. tack hike plan bound by chintzy fastener." yeah, why so chintzy? if he really believed in this bill, he should have presented it in a leather-bound volume with gold filigree and illuminated nishes so the republicans have something presentable to dismiss before they ever look at it. plus, plus, if the president was serious about getting americans working, he would have given that clipped job to an unemployed person.

am standing here with these microphones makes you feel like what rupert murdoch must have felt like this morning. i have no direct knowledge of the cloud. [laughter] let me make a small correction since my academic colleagues -- you're so sensitive to this. i am lecturer at stanford university, not a professor. that is another level of this conversation teary let me extend the conversation a little bit. one of the things that it was after i left or go, i taught for many years at stanford and talk, as i told the kids, real stuff. i started a class on cloud computing. three years ago, i started a class at the university in beijing as well on this subject because i feel it is really important. we are in my opinion in the second year of a 20-year cycle that is no different than the client server cycle that happened last time around, and i think education is an important component of this. so i'm going to take my four or five minutes to educate you guys a little bit on what is this thing we call cloud computing. i'm going to try uses much plain english as i can, leave all the technical buzzwo

i do not know rupert murdoch.elieve i met him on one occasion, and david murdock, was there and a lot of other people. i do not trust anybody. my job is not trust. and i had 16 presidents on my wall. when people come in, i point to them and say here is 16 people you cannot trust. by the way, you recognize every one of those presidents. my job is not to trust the administration. my job is to investigate it. the g it might committee is government. in my committee is government. understand looking behind and try to pierce the first amendment, this liberal group would be furious if i were doing the same thing they want me to do with msnbc or huffington post and the like. confidential sources insist that every new source and television. i realize i'm may not like the way things leak like a sieve, but i realize it is very important. let's but the justice part of looking to one avocation and not like every other vaulter the allegation of one group not substantiated with any evidence and see where it goes. let's but creat

by the global bankers and he points out that many americans probably driven on by his master rupert murdoch say we can't ever allow people to default that is not an option that doesn't exist it's that you that would be letting them get away with it but he said at the moment by not letting these people default we're letting the banks get away with a bad decisions the banks are supposed to be heroes of capitalism the patriotic patriots who received twenty five billion from the government in order to be patriots and he's saying that's part of capitalism these guys there has to be risk because without risk then there can't be reward well you mentioned damien diamond earlier and in the context of who's breaking the law jamie dimon the c.e.o. of j.p. morgan came out this weekend saying that we should just walk away from basil three agreements which is the global requirement for minimum capital in a bank and i know and anyone in the banking industry knows and i can say definitively right here without fear of any retribution that jamie dimon and j.p. morgan have broken the law consistently every qu
