the media benefits from ratings. we see it over and over again where the stories are slanted a certain way because it is explosive and the ratings shoot through the roof. there are networks that make a living off high-profile cases like this. as long as they report it fairly that is great. the public should know both sides and should know a fairview of it. it is when it is given a particular slant like this they don't do us a favor. there is an image of racism when anybody who watches the trial realizes if race was an issue it is only because trayvon fit the description of young black males who are burglarizing houses. i guarantee you if it was young hispanic males burglarizing the houses and he saw a young hispanic man walking between the houses in the rain and the dark, this guy so attentive to the crime going on in the neighborhood would have called him in too. that's not racism. it is a description. >> we know and we have acknowledged as you have here, judge, that in fact racial nerves were touched by this trial.

let's take the way republicans are intimidated by the media when it comes to independence. republicans are told don't criticize obama, don't be partisan. that just makes the independents mad and they'll run right to the democrats the minute you show any partisanship. they want bipartisanship. so the republicans don't criticize obama. they pla it never works and the independents, the democrat party is as mean spirited and extreme as anybody i've ever seen. >> what are you talking about? it's the republicans they're the people -- these tea party people in the house are holding the stuff up and by the way, the 14 illegal immigrants can't get to be a voter for 14 to 20 years. we're not going to expect that 11 or so million new voters. it's the republicans causing the problem here. it's not the democrats. >> just the other day the president of the united states said i don't like the individual employer mandate so i'm just going to cancel it. well, bob, i will guarantee you, if this bill passes as the gang of eight bill exists today and there's this 12 to 14 year waiting period to

what are the threats your family has been receiving? >> you know, people take to social media. i know it's just someone behind a computer screen and that might embolden them. but the threats are vile. they're vicious. they're disgusting. and they are sometimes in person. like people wearing shirts with my brother's face on it in crosshairs or encouraging others to act out violently against him. i know that you can't take every one of those seriously, but you can't afford to be wrong about a threat either because you could be dead wrong if somebody really were intent on harming you. >> so what kind of steps are you taking as a family for yourself as well as george going forward? because he can't stay in his home all the time. he is re-entering society. >> right. sure. and that is actually something that's kind of new to him. going out in armor and disguises but having a curfew and only doing it in one county limits you. so as he engages the world as anyone in his situation would without those restrictions he's going to have to learn to move about in a very low-profile way and kee

generally and that's pretty much the case but one of the things that we've recommended media freedom foundation. last year we we sent a letter to the club we recommended the excite chat be be televised or at least put on the internet so that they're not so you know that there shouldn't be anything so secret that it's a top secret sort of you know confidential discussion. actually when you're talking to two thousand different people but you know clearly they should quit hiding as and make it more public you know of course because the lack of transparency appear and of course that's the problem with a project centered media for information you guys of course work uncover what is censored from the public but when there is such a lack of transparency of course it breeds these theories why should people care about transparency and accountability with this giant two week party. well because some of the most powerful people in the world are partying there and they not only build consensus around things that need to be done but they're hearing you know directly from the former. commander of t

i think yes, it's partly the media's fault. yesterday in the new york "times" we had all this n.s.a. expose stuff and the article on the front page was that the obama administration says that one time this nsa spying was really helpful. i mean,hat's the arm.-- that's the article. it's unbelievable. so i think that, yeah, a lot of the corporate media, he showed his graph where the media is now owned by five companies. maybe it's two now. and i think they're responsible for a lot of this mischaracterization. things that come up in these cases, that people are stealing data and stealing, you know, legally has an intent to deprive. when you are copying information, there is no intent to deprive the owner of it. these are gray areas, nuances, they're subtle and complicated but that's where we are now. you know, is this the same as taking your laptop and not letting you have it? no. i think the subtlety is important and i think the media is generally missing it, and missing it in favor of kind of corporations and the government. >> or

the mission. critical free in-store churches free. three. videos for your media. r t v dot com. i. been watching the corporate media this week perhaps you've noticed this latest scandal about a certain magazine cover that recently hit the newsstands rolling stone is running scared tonight from the controversy sparked by the cover of the new issue now i'm not going to show you that cover because i don't like it and alleged killer as a cover boy what i'm about to show you is the object of condemnation and calls for a boycott today look at this this is the august third issue of rolling stone magazine and they really need to retitle this magazine because it's now tire bait for terrorists and criminals and sociopath. leave it to the show malcolm to really stick it to rolling stone there and here it is this is what everyone is so up in arms about this is the magazine that so many stores are refusing to carry however it's especially ironic to hear corporate news anchors accusing other people of sensationalizing tragedies because you know they would never do such a thing for ratings but it'

media like we never did before. i mean, one could argue that in some ways the very fact that the media is not just now -- when there were three networks, everybody was forced to a kind of center, that there was no other choice than to occupy. when walter cronkite was still having the nerve to end his broadcasts, and that's the way it is, now, of course, one can take what one already thinks about a lot of these things and have that supported further by finding the places who are saying things that agree with you. does all of this media make us a more contentious population? very likely it does, but nobody ever said that the free and open access to information was going to be pretty. there's a lot of information out there. a little bit of it which is good and insightful and intelligent. then there's a lot of stuff that's just noise and corrosive and all the rest of it. but if we want that one kind of information, we have to let that other kind get in as well. >> you know, robert, one of the things that's kind of interesting to me, a trend in general, sort of the political -- how media is -- media lines are fractured p
