i'll leave you with that prediction from publisher of the trends journal and director of the trends research institute gerald celebrity and still ahead right here on our t.v. the gruesome images we are all seeing from syria anti-government protesters gunfire and excessive violence. but with unconfirmed pictures can we really trust the mainstream media for the truth or is their coverage on syria seriously inaccurate or incomplete. plus to a place where censorship is not bound by law even if some want it to be tied up we're talking about four inaugural fee and public libraries and some in new york aren't too quiet about it. what drives the world if we are more green you've got politicians who makes decisions through who through who can you cross no one who is you with global reach and where are we cutting state controlled capital school nationals when nobody dares to ask we do our tea question more. all right to syria now where the government is accused of yet more vicious and deadly assaults on its cities but access is limited for foreign correspondents so it's pretty hard to get balanced rep

additional government investment and funding to states but gerald solenn de publisher of the trends journal says the politicians are fighting the wrong battles in the struggle against unemployment. if anybody watched that you could wonder how any self respecting adult could have any respect for these politicians jumping up and down and clapping like trained seals that every two bit lawing all this speech was is obama's campaign speech on one end you have the republicans that want to cut back in title mention anything going to the people bringing our stary measures and obama promising empty promises the federal reserve and some sixteen trillion dollars in stimulus back to a loans etc and they couldn't create jobs well obama said he wants to create infrastructure jobs perfect but they creating them in the wrong place is creating him in afghanistan they're rebuilding iraq now they're going to be rebuilding libya which simple there's a way to solve this back on these massive wars and defense spending and repatriate the money number one and then listen to what else obama wants to do he wants to

senior writer for the "wall street journal," steve, good morning to stkpwhraou hi bill, great to be with you. bill: what does the change in that poll tell you? >> it's a trendt's been happening over the last year and a half, bill, that obviously when barack obama first became president, you know, a huge percentage of americans blamed the problems on george bush, and what's happened is every month has gone by, president obama has been in the white house now for over 30 months, that line that barack obama has used that he inherited this crisis from bush and therefore, he's not responsible for the economy, that is withering away. and so you're right, still more people blame bush than obama, but you know what, i'll bet if you do this poll six months from now you're going to find it's probably about even, and the problem is, when you look at this poll, the same poll shows that only --less than 40 percent now think that things are going to be better next year. americans don't feel like it's morning in america right now. bill: let me come back to the whole presidential indication in a moment. what you just said is unbelievable. it is so telling about how americans
