tina brown comes out, the editor says she is standing by him.though he like wrote a story condoning child murder. or euthanasia. no, he wrote an article that was critical of obama. the editor has to come out and say i stand by him. just did he cook numbers -- >> juan: did he cook numbers? cbosh numbers and said -- >> greg: wait. he just happened to be the only person who use mark halperin words who wasn't susceptible. mutual admiration bug that is obama love. >> andrea: very quickly to your point, a couple of hours ago tina brown had to come out and question his writing. so she stood behind him. then she said oh,, i don't really agree with him, believe me. by the way, he could have written it better. >> dana: the colonoscopy. i'm quoting greg gutfeld. >> greg: they do an article and be liberal the rest. she through him under a double decker bus, because she is british. >> juan: i'm glad that is not you, i'm glad it was greg. you wouldn't say that. >> dana: a great point. i thought about it all week. mark halperin was on with luster holt. see wha

i reckon if the left wing newsweek, tina brown. uh know her. it's not personal. she's a lefty. if she walks away from obama, who's next? is it the nation? be honest. give us the scoop. >> i don't have a scoop for you. i don't think most of the left is walking away. i was talking to roger stone who is coming on the program. we were talking about the fact that on the numbers barack obama has the highest intraparty democratic approval of any president since kennedy in the democratic party at this point in his term. there is no crack up. >> that party is smaller. that's what killed carter. democrats bailed. democratic party is much smaller. yeah. they're unified, more purist group. there's not enough of them. >> there was enough for a huge majority. >> what do you make of newsweek walking away from obama and ferguson, a distinguished guy, who wrote the essay and listed five, six, seven, eight, things including bungling the middle east, syria, iran, egypt and israel as well. >> that would be my quarrel with the article is the word "bungling." on the conservative side the view of oba

in the end it comes down to tina brown wanting to make green, so maybe a hard turn to right will do it a cover that has salon sick and huffingtons huffing. that hits president hard and demands barack obama hit the road now. before you think that tina has seen the light, it is like tina has seen her wallet. this was not an editorial choice, this uber-liberal news wig this was an economy one, the president should be worried, it proves that hope is small change to publishers. it does not sell magazines any more and it does not make money any more. you can't make dough . try to convince people in this administration is making them dough . and liberals by questioning his opponent's firsties has not been a financial barnstormer last time i checked old "newsweek" january cover, did not sell out. probably because it is wrong. probably because even the most wide-eyed liberals realize there is no money in it hence "newsweek"'s move to the right, this is defending the left and the right, either way barack obama should just read it and weep, he is not only failing at making his political case, but

on "morning joe" today, tina brown defended the controversial article. let's take a look. >> kneel is a swash buckling very, very aggressive thinker. >> did neil step in it here? >> no, i think what kneel was saying was his skepticism about his conclusions not that they were the cbo's conclusions. that could have been a little more clear. >> he's just swash buckling. that's all. this article is the latest example of what's been a nasty presidential campaign cycle one often lacking in accountability. i would throw on mitt rommy that has been claiming that the president wants to end or it's his plan to end the welfare work requirements which has been raided by politifact as a pants on fire claim yet reiterated in ads, on the stump. there seems to be no desire to back down from this totally debunked claim. my question is a bigger one which is, is there any accountability? are there any consequences to just straightup lying or at best, misrepresenting your opponent's record? >> i think there are. we're getting to the point where there. it's one of the intere

tina brown who i like very much, defending her magazine's cover story, smear job on the president. >> was spectacle about those conclusions, and that could have been more clear but he has clarified that in his rebuttal. he has really tried to do what i think the republican party wishes was happening right now. just have a discussion about the economy. he said this president has been a failure on the economy, on drugs, and the deficit. that is his view. i do think the cover of news week is a place to have battle of ideas, and that is certainly what has happened. >> john: us in week doesn't have a fact checker for this kind of cover story, do they? >> no. >> john: it sounds like what tina is saying is everything he say is full of crap but my mandate is to save this magazine. >> yeah, no. it's just trying to be as explosive as possible. get as much attention as possible. >> john: yeah, and that's what happens when capitolism eats journalism, i guess. and god bless. it seems like she is trying to defend what he did while also distancing herself at the same time. >> she is not quite write

tina brown behind that magazine. do you have any thoughts on that?reporter: i haven't seen i want but, you know, those news magazines are so desperate, "newsweek" is so desperate to get attention. they did a cover a few weeks ago with mitt romney, a cover that "newsweek" did for george w. bush the whip factor. you go from calling mitt romney a wimp to saying obama should be fired, to me that is simply a reflection of the media marketplace and the desire for magazines to be relevance in a way that, in fact, they no longer are. >> another political issue over the ad. the republican senate nominee from missouri, you know where i'm going with this. >> reporter: that's a legitimate story. i'm telling you that right now. >> he made a comment over the weekend that he said that when there is what he described as legitimate rape, that women's bodies can somehow block an unwanted pregnancy and it's gotten a lot of people clearly and i would argue for the right reasons quite upset. >> what was this guy thinking. >> reporter: that's one of the most stupid, ignor
