and these were the times where new york city was in very dark financial shape and the leaders of the at that time came together to really talk about how to save new york city, and they -- >> they did it right here? >> because every morning or every day they would say where should we meet? my father would say, it's a bit selfish on my part because all i have to do is take the elevator but let's meet at the regency and that's literally where the term in the mid 1970's, the term "power breakfast" started. and we will re-establish the regency as home of the power breakfast, the place where people want to come to see and be seen. >> coming up, what kind of a hotel room does $100 million buy? what's the most expensive part this room? >> the bathrooms. the bathrooms are very, very expensive. ♪ >> just before it reopened, jonathan tisch, chairman of loews hotels, gave me a tour of the newly renovated loews regency in east midtown manhattan. >> here we go, betty, after you. >> all right. >> welcome. >> a newly renovated room. >> 1920's of the regency hotel. reyou designed pretty much -- or yo

"the new york times" is going to have more of a lefty readership, and the new york times online will have more of a young and left readership. just by its nature. if you were to write a pro- george w. bush column, it is not good to make the list, baby. it is not going to get near. in the way you would a pro-obama one. >> dan rather sitting here a couple of years ago said that in his judgment what rules ina newsroom these day is fear. fear. he was talking about the consequences of 9/11, and the way in which journalism covers these events. you have introduced the cause of my question, you have introduced an element now having to do with the new way in which journalism has to be mindful of the new technology. >> right. >> does the new technology, in your view, pervert or force you into places you would not want to be dealing with stories that you would not want to deal with? simply in order to get the ratings boost? >> um, i think it is an important question to be asking. i cannot give you a specific example right now, but what i can tell you is that you sit where i sit, it is just incre

it is just across the hudson river from new york. ife opened its doors four years ago. >> filling all 82,000 seats at metlife stadium is no easy task. the stadium is in new jersey. it is just across the hudson river from new york. metlife opened its doors four years ago. jonathan tisch was instrumental in getting it built. the stadium holds games for the giants and the jets. all of those seats came with a hefty price tag. >> this is an amazing building. it cost $1.6 billion to build. people said to us, why is there no roof on it? that would have been more money here at there is not a dime up public money in this building. it is all privately financed. it was quite a remarkable accomplishment. >> the stadium will be in the spotlight in early february when the plays host to the most-watched sporting event in the world -- the super bowl. >> super bowl is a great opportunity for this region, for new york and new jersey. this is a super bowl of a lot of firsts. first time it is being hosted by two teams, the first time it is being hosted b

and stuck to the vaguer evidence. "new york times" posts the letter and everyone was writing and talking about it could have their own interpretation of what he was saying. >> that is legitimate. the headline was an overstatement. to think that people now perceive "new york times" as having an adversarial relation ship with christie is interesting. over the course of christie's career "new york times" has treated him pretty fairly. christie has been the darling of the new york media you were referring to. the bigger point is this is now death by a thousand cuts by christie and it is not stopping, and it will likely to get worse. there are other people that he fired, the deputy chief of staff, when they do the interviews, guess what? in will be more allegations and charges that the truth is tied directly to chris christie and he is --. >> he is also very much still showing his...feisty side. that e-mail that came out reported by "politico". >> this is that e-mail said was leaked and probably was intended to leak to his friends a

"the new york times" is not the story.he story is why did the christie aides order the lane closings on the george washington bridge and then engage in what appears to be a cover-up to try to make it look like a traffic study. who knew what when. that's not a story about the "new york times" or anybody else. >> john heilemann, in terms of m.o. here, if this is all the way it seems, which is pushback or whatever the term is, i call it riding the ref, like in a football or basketball game. guys who get the courtside seats and yell at the ref all the through the game, hope thanksgiving can reduce the number of fouls on their team and get a couple on the other side. whatever their game is, it's obnoxious, but it's done in flackery. that's what flakes do. your thoughts. >> well, it is. i think there is something more specific going on. i agree with kate that the story shouldn't be "the new york times." but it's what the christie administration would like it to be there is no -- it's hard for people who watch this network and fo

some feel this was more becomes of "the national enquirer" than "the new york times." e you heard about what the times did to try to reach woody allen and they decided to publish this long rebuttal in the paper this weekend? >> it's important for the sake of context not just the los angeles times that didn't want to publish this it's the "the n york times" editorial page did not want to publish this -- >> you broke this news on friday they received the letter as well and decided not to publish it, right? >> what our sources at the times told us is that what happened is they wanted to pass on it and essentially nick chris stof, a friend of the family, stepped in and said i'm going to publish it i'll publish the full letter on my blog and address it in my column and robin's point is absolutely right, is that really the place for this battle between playing out, this sort of personal family drama to be playing out and now it's forced "the new york times" to address this issue and if we let nick publish that piece we have to let woody allen publish this piece. >> is there a

this is the new york city media market. that's one of the reasons christie got so famous in the first place is in the new york city media market. he rose in the buzz and now he's sinking on it, as well. the media markets there have turned a traffic column into a mountain. thank you. and i think that, look, the level of exaggeration here that he should resign over a traffic cone? i mean, it's a little overkill and i think after a few days, the media are kind of realizing maybe they overbid on this story. >> let's dwell for a second on the "new york times" role. the initial story said that wildstein -- let me get the quote here -- had the evidence -- claimed he had the evidence to prove it and then this sort of was rewritten online and it stuck to the evidence exists formulation. but the times posted the letter for everybody to see. so that everybody that was writing and talking about it could have on their own interpretation of what wildstein was saying. >> right. i think that's not legitimate. i think the headline was an ove

the thing is the big media, led by the "new york times," almost all of them agree with the "new york times" and with the obamacare so of course the obama administration says it's not spending investments, then they all jump to the same tune and dance and that's the conservative critique of the mainstream media going back 40 years. they're always in lock and step with the media. jon: only the federal government can bring about combrouf manies in education, energy efficiency and job training? >> no. state governments can do it, too. that doesn't mean there isn't a role for federal government. in terms of job, obama has had a plan. there was a jobs bill. there was a number of things that can be done but being a republican so has not cooperated with the president's agenda. jon: some would say that's a good thing. >> i'm sure that many conservatives would say that's a good thing but what's the alternative plan from the right, one that has not really been revealed? what's the health care plan? what are they going to replace obamacare with? >> hold on. a bunch of republicans in the house hav

the result is a city reeling from a new epidemic. new york has become a major transit point for the drug to reach a whole new generation of users. organized heroin mills are set up in all five of the cities boroughs creating a gateway to the outskirts and beyond. >> taking the five kilograms to the mill, the mill will have seven or eight workers, they will get a bunch of cut, baking soda or any other kind of powder, mix it with the heroin and make more. >> the mills are often hided in secluded middle class neighborhoods that provide easy access to smuggling routes up and down the northeast corridor. >> you see all kinds of ways that people smuggle heroin. >> they are ingenious with some of the schemes they come up with. they found these build abears that were stuffed with heroin. there were other cases where heroin was stuffed inside a prosthetic leg. familiar. in the 1970s heroin had a visible hold on the city, the drug of choice for celebrities and street people alike. >> they had their own dealers, the big black dealers that controlled har

if you read "the new york times" it was like the guy was set on fire. >> looking at this "the new yorkes" and the hometown, if you will, home state "star ledger" you would have thought that the good governor had just been torn to pieces. "the new york times," bill, pointed out that governor christie is now seen as mortal, as if begrudgingly he'd been brought down from olympus. i mean that is the nature of jersey politics, give and take. look at this guy without his coat in the middle of citizens who have assembled to have a back and forth with their governor. how many states do you see that happen in. when's the last time that you saw a real give and take between president obama and constituents, citizens. "the new york times" decided to focus, as you say, on hostility when, by the way, there just wasn't much of it. by the way, that was an expression of concern by the gentleman in the american legion hat saying to him destroy your bruce springsteen tapes. you know, crazy stuff. >> now, i want to point out again that there were very few questions about the george washington bridge thing

i mean, the fact is new york and new jersey are a lot better for having the super bowl than not. you can put whatever number you want. the number that -- that we're estimating is $550 million, but that, you know, we can look at it after and come up with a more finite number. one of the things you can't measure necessarily, is what is does for new york and new jersey in the minds of people either that want to do business or travel or -- or partake in the advantages of new york and new jersey in the future, and there's a legacy factor that goes on and on and on. >> reporter: yeah. every city wants a super bowl. no matter, every city wants a super bowl. jonathan, parties huge. spending huge. not everyone can afford to get in. does an event trickle down to the average man and woman rather than just watching four hours a game on the couch? >> it absolutely does. we've learned over the last couple of years in the bloomberg administration now and delazio administration as it relates to new york city, tourism is a huge generator of jobs. 350,000 people make a living in the travel and tou

"the new york times" benefited from the wikileaks story. "the new york times" decided that it would send a team of reporters to another newspaper in england where the information already was, so it was no act of journalistic genius to go over there and pick up that information and then put it into the times. so what does that mean about the times and a fitting from -- "the times" benefiting from wikileaks? is that a good thing? are they to be proud of the fact that they made that decision? >> you should really ask arthur sulzberger that. >> bill keller. he was seated here, and i did ask him. >> what did he say? >> he made an effort to answer it, which is more than you are doing. [laughter] you see, i'm trying to understand. >> the reason i am dodging this question and i am dodging it is because -- >> did you notice? >> is because it is a hugely complicated question, and i have not dealt with the raw material, the legal bit. i have not been deeply involved than i do not want to freelance on it. >> ok. then i will put it this way. [laughter]

this prompted a response from the new york times editorial board saying the new york bill is an ill-considered response to the american studies association resolution and would trample on academic freedoms and chill speech. avi why such concern from american la lawmakers over the boycott? >> not necessarily what lawmakers are saying but what academics are saying. in the aftermath of this vote, of the american studies association to boycott israel, there has been a massive backlash to the point where more than 200 university college and university presidents from across the spectrum have come out and said they will not support this boycott, that it runs counter to academic freedom and to the values that their institutions hold dear. and i think that that is -- it is very telling that when it's -- when bds is viewed as targeting israel as a whole, rather than punishing israel for whatever perceived offense is committed, that's something that's simply won't pass that the u.s. milk will not support -- the u.s. public will not support. and i think we'll see that increasing as bds continues to be a
