this is not in any way meant to preclude the proper engagement with the press. all of us in the military understand that being in the military, we follow certain guidelines this is to emphasize guidance that has been out there for an extensive period of time. we just walked away from this recently. in light of what has happened recently, it is not a just a" peace, this isi" a need to make sure we are coordinated and that we do tell our story. since that article, it is important that we do not see the press as the enemy and i have said that and also that we do not overreact and we do tell our story. it is a challenge today because of the 24-hour news cycle. we understand that. in engaging the press and the media, we have to do with from the position in which we are qualified to do that >>. ne engagement, are you in fact saying that the troops in the field before these e-mails have a telephone conversation and posts something on a facebook page or twitter, any public engagement with the media, it must be cleared? >> if i was to use the trooper in the field, the rul

the press pass is your license to report the truth.o tell the viewer what it is that he or she was not able to be in front of, to be a witness to. we are there, the representatives, for an event that happens so to lower that expectation, that license, is to lower again part of democracy which is a full -- one of the elements of a full democracy is a complete, complete freedom of the press. and if you start watering it down in different degrees for different reasons, then i think there's omission of what the founding fathers he intended with freedom of the press. >> the question is timely given what's happening in arizona. give us quickly the story of when you decided to go back to help your buddy and the border patrol arrived. >> i was picking pears where great america is today. and i.n.s. start -- with all due respect to those immigration agents who are reputable, the ones that showed up that did not fit that description. they were harassing those of us picking pears. so because i had this reaction to that, having been an immigrant ch

today, gates said informing the press and the public remains a top pentagon priority. >> warner: for more on all of this we get three views. geoff morrell is the defense department's spokesman. john burns is the "new york times" bureau chief in london. he has extensive experience covering the u.s. military in war zones, including in iraq and afghanistan. and christopher hanson is an assistant professor of journalism at the university of maryland, following a 20 year career at "time" magazine, reuters and hearst newspapers. geoff morrell, secretary gates said today these two events were not related, it was not triggered by the mcchrystal flap. but do these two events taken together, the mcgri mcgris-- mcchrystal fee as sow-- fiasco and the new guidelines issuing a new chill between the military and the press. >> we hope not. and we are determined to make sure that does not result from all this. i think it's understandable that in the wake of the mcchrystal incident that there may be some members of the military who may become more reticent, more reluctant to engage in with the press f

it is a case of one that the "new york times" is not true fort press in general. is it bias of editors back in the home offices here? i say yes, but not in & tan anti-chinese way. the news is boiled down, and there is a pressure to have things be somewhat more blunt. is it a shift in the structure of the news business? yes, i think this is a profound f factor. there has been less range of information that comes across. the pieceures in the news business are important ones. for another time, i think that is chinese government is good in many ways and bad in telling its own story worldwide. and i could say more, but i'm building up to what i think is the real reason for the barriers in perceptions to the press which is that the nature of reality in china now is so huge cont contradiction that by definition is going to be distorted through any kind of lens through the press. the only way to convey this is to bolster this in other kinds of ways. there are lots of ways people around the world look at the u.s. they have the whole range of signals. a good part is there ar

what only, up to that time, the black press would provide. y, it was pretty satisfactory, and therefore, people began to say, "well, i don't need these two newspapers. i can--i don't need the pittsburgh courier anymore. i can just read the daily whatever." >> narrator: the end finally came in 1965. the courier declared bankruptcy. afterwards, its parent company, the pittsburgh courier publishing company, was liquidated. the crusading newspaper was no more. >> what was kind of sad about all of this is that there was one of the reporters who worked there staring in the 1950s into the 1960s who talked about the fact that we were warriors. in other words, we were battling segregation. we felt like what we were doing was important. we were not going to the white press, which paid more and had a larger circulation, because we believed in what we were doing. well, they finally left. the warriors were dead. >> when the courier declined, america lost one of its great forces for social change and for social unity. >> when you're afraid of truth, you're

it is going to take the rest of the world press and academics to look at these statistics that come out of this and returned todiers' from afghanistan look at this. the refugees from afghanistan. toolkit this and say, i and a stand that event -- to look at this and say, i am understand that event. i was there. that was my father, he was killed. that was my buddy, he was killed. that was my commanding officer that gave me an order that i was extremely uncomfortable with. we saw things like that coming out. we saw two u.s. soldiers involved in that event come forward and give additional details. we saw the sun and brothers of the journalist who were killed come forward and give details. we saw the wife of the driver who was killed in the van come forward and give additional details. that is what i expect to happen with this material. to some degree, it is of such scope that eclipses the economic ability of the press to go through it. is going to require all interested parties to understand this material. that is why we have endeavored to put into a format that is easy for people to go thr

look at how the press swings in and you won't get any of that information at the same time snooki one of the characters on m.t.v.'s jersey shore is also taking america by storm that's right. so what does that mean is happening to the media to this country when those stories are what everyone is obsessed with well joining me to discuss it is our two producer lucy now lucy i gave a few of the details about this new and have it can you tell us more to tell us more about how much of a she really is i obviously must have missed the memo on this because if you happen to be a hot chick with an eastern european accent and like posting photos of herself on facebook you're obviously a russian spy according to the mainstream media i mean the fact that he was. right right but you know row upon us if we ever get in trouble with the law i would be terrified to imagine what would really happen i mean the one thing that we could learn from this look at the headlines we have c.b.s. news more spies among us feds arrest another bombshell new york post scope out new russian spy hobby the only thing that

don't believe in this business there was a chill and then we've mended fences i think this is for the press at the end of the day israel will do what it wants to do and when america objects it will remind the united states of where it stands which is it must back israel for electoral

milan the atmosphere of the meeting was warm as well but a new school and he started opening opened the press conference with the words let's together greet our dear friend dmitri medvedev who is back well indeed relations between the two and russia could be described as a privileged relationship and it seems that very of has taken the lead from his predecessor vladimir putin to treat berlusconi not just as a partner but as a true friend and is the third time the two have matched in the last eight months the last time their match was during the g eight and g twenty summits today they

the time when there is an anti-immigrant backlash. it has been a wonderful place for many years, and i sincerely hope there is some positive press that comes out of this horrible event, but you can see there is a lot of love and appreciation. >> thank you. sarah. >> i am a homeowner across the street. i am here to say we are very concerned about the incident, and we hope the commission takes serious security measures that can be put in place. of we are the only resident in the immediate vicinity, and we want to make sure it grows up in that space. >> thank you. jake jacobs. >> my name is jay jacobs. i am a

we're doing them in addition to the traditional press. >> hello, everybody. want to talk to you about a new consumer website. >> reporter: this president has embraced the nontraditional like no other. he offered his thoughts to marv albert where lebron james should play basketball. >> the most important thing for lebron right now is to find a structure where he's got a coach that he respects. >> reporter: even taped pro mows for george lopez. >> could you offer me a position, like ambassador to mexico? >> no, george. you need to change late night. that's the kind of change i can believe in. >> i got kansas state down here. >> reporter: plenty of people accuse the president of being overexposed, but does it really hurt him? >> the white house does not care what we think. they care what the ladies of "the view" think and the ladies who watch the show think. they have come to washington with the firm belief that it is not their job to win over the political press and they don't care if they win over the political press. >> we are going to order a sub right now. >

in this case, they have affirmatively and publicly given false statements to the press. it is incumbent upon them to correct them. it is entirely within your right to ask for the accurate information because they have stated openly that there were arguments that related to this incident, and that is not true. they have made those statements not just to the press, but they have made those statements to your staff. you have the right and irresponsibility to correct it, because your suspension cannot be meaningfully separated in the minds of the public from the misinformation that surrounded it. finally, there has been some suggestion at least by some of the comments that it is unquestionably going to be leaving the port. we're going to fight that and i encourage anyone who wants to help to contact you. commissioner alan: and if i may ask officer dalton to return to the microphone? i have been chastised for asking questions about an ongoing investigation, and i want to turn my attention to the second incident. you mentioned that there were too serious incidents. has there be

to explore a comment made by the attorney regarding the shooting and the reports that came the of the press to everyone -- came from the press to everyone indicating the shooting was a direct result of the altercation, and it has been presented to us that is not upheld by the facts. >> they said the victim came in for a time. they claim it happened inside. i do not have any knowledge contrary to about at all. >> -- contrary to that at all. >> do you have any knowledge as to whether the shooter was present in the building? >> i just want to say the facts remain closed until the investigation is complete. is that correct? >> yes. >> i withdraw the question. >> we need to take the most definitive and concerned action we can. i am exploring the limits. we are limited based on the ongoing investigation. >> i mentioned before, it imposes a maximum occupancy of 82 people. that lists an occupancy load of 153 persons. or they impose the current occupancy limit from 2008, and you will have two minutes. this has nothing to do with the eve fiction, so if that is what you want to talk about, we have --

the urgency with which we needed to protect our citizens was pressing. ut let me state clearly, we need to know the answers. if things went wrong, why? and what we must do to uphold the standards that people expect. mr. speaker, i have asked the rt. hon. sir peter gibson, former senior court of appeal judge and currently the statutory commissioner for the intelligence services, to lead the inquiry. the three member inquiry team will also include dame janet paraskeva, head of the civil service commissioners, and peter riddell, former journalist and senior fellow at the institute for government. i have today made public a letter to the inquiry chair setting out what the inquiry will cover, so sir peter gibson can finalise the details with us before it starts. we hope it will start before the end of this year and will report within a year. this inquiry can not and will not be costly or open-ended -- that serves neither the interest of justice nor national security. neither can it be a full public inquiry. of course, some of its hearings will be in public. ho

we were mocked by the press. ere were caricatures and cartoons saying that we were a bunch of nuts, literally in this case. people started making fun of alice a little bit. even the former mayor had a column, asking what was next. he was having fun, we were a point of ridicule. that is where we like to be. many people photographs of the victory garden. -- photographed the victory garden. we brought people together. we worked with public schools to talk about edible schoolyards and different frameworks for education as well as the fact that there are no shortcuts in this life. those short cuts, of course, magnified in the course of regulation and financial problems that we experience in a macro economy. the seasons, the seeds, you cannot necessarily put a narrative of education like these here at the public schools. that is a long winded introduction. of course, that all came home in washington, d.c. michelle obama decided to plant a garden of her own in front of the white house. suddenly everyone said the san fran

department of education will address the national press club. and on september 13th, mr. beckman will speak on eliminating hunger, people and congress. second i would like to present our guests with the traditional gifts we give all, the treasured national press club mug. thank you for coming today. we have one final question for you. this is not been the best year in newseadlines for energy extraction. the massey coal company explosion in april was dominating headlines. but even then was another story getting headlines was the bp oil spill. and that's still underway and as you watched that and what lessons does this spill hold for your industry? >> that's a tough question, i have been a little busy in the bp oil spill as well. i think that the lesson that we need to remember is to rely on truth and fact. if it's more dangerous and safety wise to drill in 500 feet of water and can drill in 200 water, you should push back on drilling in 500 feet of water. if you are working in a manner that is not safety, you need to push back. we nd to operate in free press and approximate

we have a couple of advance copies here at the press club. one thing you discussed were the differences in what you learn in a team sport as opposed to a single sport. having developed that as your sport, what lessons may you have missed out on and what have you gained? >> i think that team sports are so much different. you have to learn how to win together and how to work together and to trust the person to do their job and not to interfere by getting in their way. at the same time, you have to learn how to lose together and how to work together as a team to win and be confident in each other. there is a huge difference. i think doubles is very similar to that because you have to trust your partner. my sister and i plan pans on every point. sometimes you have to wait for the other person to get their confidence. what did i miss out on in team sports? probably all of the things that i said before, of learning to trust in the other person and work as a team. if you get that to a degree in doubles, but there is so much independence in the single

democrats speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, commented about the press secretary this week. how could gibbs know what is going on in our district? we have made our disagreement known to the white house, unquote. the backlash from speaker pelosi left secretary gibbs scrambling to clarify his words and his views. >> i have not spoken with the speaker. there are a whole host of issues that will be worked on in the next couple weeks, that will highlight the choices that voters will have. and i think in that choice, we are going to do very well, as i have throughout this. i think we will retain the house and the senate. >> question, was this a gast on gibbs part or were his comments calculated? >> i think he meant to say it. i think he meant to say this because he thinks he's a senior adviser to the president and he thinks he is managing expectations for the fall election. remember, the only thing that democrats have going for them when they are trying to maize money is the belief that they will hold on to the majority. that's the only way they can get the dough and for gibbs so s

so the moment you-- the longer you delay letting the public know that, the more the press will be all over that story. smith: joe, just one little fine point. we're talking about saving half the energy use in the automobile sector. we're talking about reducing american vulnerability to energy and security issues. we've got a tremendous positive story that we should have been telling, so that when this attack occurred, we're saying, "one in a million versus war in iraq?" we didn't do that enough, and we should have. tapper: joe, are you going to write this story? - yes. - tapper: what's the story? the story is that something is going on-- first of all, i didn't know 85 was speeding. - ( laughing ) - not in jersey, new mexico or arizona. so you better raise the number. i mean, nobody told me. this is a story that the public just loves, because the public doesn't trust the car industry. people live in cars. it's the scariest thing in the world for them, especially if they find out they're going to be going 85, and that's dangerous now. so of course you're gonna do the story. you'd be an

to some extent we're just going to have to get used to that. >> reporter: the press used to see itself as a gate keeper deciding what information was reliable enough to make public. now there are no gates, katie. >> couric: jeff, thanks very much. as we mentioned, the lead documents include numerous reports of civilian casualties in afghanistan. coalition commanders say they take great pains to avoid them. today afghan officials claim 52 civilians were killed last friday by a nato rocket in helmand province in the south. nato promises a thorough investigation. in logar province hundreds of u.s. troops continued to search for a member of the u.s. navy who is believed to be held by the taliban. the body of a second sailor was recovered today. the two men disappeared friday after being ambushed by insurgents. they were in afghanistan on a training mission. pakistan is not the only one of afghanistan's neighbors mentioned in these documents. iran is also accused of helping the afghan insurgents. but is it? richard roth put that question to president mahmoud ahmadinejad in tehran today duri

david gregory is preparing for tomorrow's "meet the press." he joins us now for some insight. i know the president would have liked us to be talking about the passage of financial reform. how much did the sherrod story knock him off his economy and jobs message? >> quite a bit. this was major piece of legislation the president achieved. it's part of what they are calling recovery summer. yet they are still deluged with headlines and not quite a distraction. it's more substantive than that, the fact jobs are still not being created in this economy, it's much more sluggish than anyone thought it would be even if there is an economic recovery going on. all that concentration wiped away because of the sherrod story. it's something they very much want to get back to. the president will do that. he and other democrats want to try to campaign on the message of financial reform being the beginning of a real turnaround for the economy. >> got to ask you about the charley rangel story. the charges haven't been laid out but obviously they're serious enough for talk of a trial. that would

in an interview with tim geithner for sunday's "meet the press," david gregory asked why the recovery from the meltdown has been so sluggish. geithner says businesses and consumers got into too much debt, and that's difficult to overcome. >> what you would expect is a more moderate pace for recovery than is typical, and that's what we are seeing. again, you are seeing recovery, you are seeing private investment expand again, job growth starting to come back and that's very encouraging. >> you can see david gregory's full interview with treasury secretary geithner sunday on "meet the press." >>> state and local governments are another part of this economy that is struggling and facing cutbacks. and in two neighboring california communities, taxpayers' anger with the way things are being run has boiled over. as nbc's george lewis reports now, that outrage led to some big changes. >> we don't have any problem sitting down. >> no. >> reporter: the raucous city council meeting in bell, california, lasted into the wee hours of this morning. >> recall. recall. recall. >> reporter: and the me

campos: the second question is, you know, there were a number of comments that the mayor made in the press about the concern with ethics and potential conflicts of interest and specifically the issue of members, elected, local elected officials taking contributions, certain contributions for people who might be doing business before the city, the board, and i don't know if you're an attorney, but as an attorney, you know that there are specific requirements that govern when you can actually take a political contribution and you started your presentation by making it very clear that those requirements are very strict and they have to be enforced. and to my knowledge, the mayor is not in any way saying that any of the local elected officials who are about -- who are elected to the democratic county central committee have failed to fly with those legal requirements, or is he saying -- >> i appreciate you pointing that out. we in no way impugn the actions of any elected official in the city. we make no accusations explicit or imply sit and i appreciate that you give me the opportunity to say t

it is amazing, considering those biases, that we speak to anybody in the press. y would we go to that source when our image has been so abused in? >> but how do we change if we do not go to the source? >> we have to, but you have to overcome that initial resistance. >> years ago i was involved in the case and one of the question was, what you think about prosecutors? wonderful. what about criminal defense lawyers? one person wrote just one word, sleazy. when i met him i said, we have never met, i did not take it personally. he said, oh, i meant it in a good way.

leak of classified documents marks the latest chapter in the age old conflict between freedom of the pressational security. jeff greenfield takes a closer look at the issue in the age of the internet. >> reporter: the massive release of documents came not from a news organization, but from wikileaks, a 3.5-year-old online site with no headquarters, no physical presence anywhere, and with a history of releasing secrets of all sorts, from rule books for guantanamo, bank records, sorority initiation rituals. wikileaks founder, 39-year-old australian julian assange, acknowledges that he has an agenda. >> we hope the release of this material will result in significant reforms in u.s. and allied policy in afghanistan. >> reporter: traditional media outlets don't talk that way. but then wikileaks is completely unlike traditional media. for instance, newspapers often consult governments before publishing potentially damaging secrets. >> i think it requires a lot of judgment on the part of people who are gatekeepers. >> reporter: wikileaks released its afghan war diary with no consultations. and th

once we get that, we can move forward and basically, then notify the commission and to a full press conference to announce the results. the lab worke that was requested has been done, has been completed, and at some point we could i agendas that -- we could put that on the agenda. >> my other question, chief, sometimes the attorney general's office to take a long time making a decision. i would just request sometime by which if they have not made the decision, that we have irresponsibility to get some report in the department -- we have the responsibility to get some report and the department. >> we can talk about the administrative fixes that have been done. we're trying to avoid a recurrence that has not been noticed. we can never guarantee that human beings will not commit crimes, but we can guarantee we will have systems that pick up quickly. we are in the process now of handing out the criminal side of internal affairs. we have a new command structure within the lab. we have a supervisory structure. we are in the process of reducing the workload to make sure we never put our people back i
