some of us long complained about the cult of balance, insisting on portraying both parties as equally wrong. never mind the facts. i joked if one party declared the earth was flat the headline would read views differ on shape of planet. would that cult still rule in a situation as stark ags the one we face where one party is engaged in blackmail? he went on to say other things and here's some of the other things. the answer turns out is yes, and this is no laughing matter. the cult of balance has played an important role in bringing us to the edge of disaster for when reporting on political disputes always implies that both sides are to blame there is no penalty for extremism. voters won't punish you for outrageous behavior if all they ever hear is both sides are at fault. mr. president, i wish the press would report this outrageous conduct on behalf of the house. in closing down work for 80,000 people in america because of their trying to eliminate the essential air service. the issue is certainly more than that. we know it's -- we have one airline that is terribly antiunion and othe

emergency managers confirmed to us what our -- but warn that we've got worsening weather to come, and we have a long ahead of us. what they are worried about and what they were particularly fearing yesterday is what is transpiring today. the center of this storm is coming to the west of us, and that's going to cause a one-two-three hit in terms of the storm surge. the first hit is the eye occurred when the east winds brought water on to the eastern shoreline up into the pimlico sound behind us. that will stack water up under the coastlines there, and then as the eye passes, the counterclockwise winds then coming from the west will push water to the western shoreline here, so, again, a one, two, three punch is going to happen. the only possible good news in that regard is that with the storm -- category one is still a very, very powerful storm. it's not a two or eye three, and then the hope is that maybe the storm overwash will not be as bad as they originally feared. again, that hasn't yet happened yet, and we have hours to find out whether that actually occurs, alex. >> it's going to be a long day,

pakistan plus global provider of energy and metals information a lot of talk of thanks for joining us how long will it take for a bit to get well production back on track. well there are some reports that some of the fields could take as long as a year and i have to return. that could be the case but i think the production could return a lot sooner than that. and we have seen oil prices fall at least fifteen dollars from the high and i think the decline in prices really shows that the market is already factoring in the saudi arabia production will return in a matter of a few months so i think it's a lot more positive. what the market what some of the news reports say but can you make any predictions what's the long term or fact the events unfolding in libya will have on global oil markets. well i believe in production the outrageous return of oil is roughly in the range of for give or take a million barrels per day so in the biggest scheme of things change things that much but he has added to the bullish sentiment so by definition as the production comes back some of the this course way from t
