this was written by michael wolff in "vanity fair" about politico. a lot of great things have been written about politico, and, sam, i'm gonna ask you to respond to it. "at politico's level of specificity, there may be no room for a general-interest reader. the conversation arguably comes limited to professionals and compulsives. if one of the gravest dangers of politics and the real rap against the beltway," he says, "is its insiderism, politico vastly compounds the problem. the propensity of the political class to speak only to itself is enabled to a new degree by politico." >> well, who does "vanity fair" think they're appealing to? >> [laughter] >> who does michael wolff think they're appealing to? a general audience of mom, pop, people in rural illinois? no. every publication these days has to find an audience. i think politico serves a great purpose, but if you're asking me whether the people in tucumcari, new mexico, are gonna hit that blog first, the answer is no. >> let's take some questions from the audience now. hi. go ahead. >> my name is

private money is given by those that are peddling influence and vanity to those who cannot get it any other way. it always depends on lies in secrecy. it is important to realize how minuscule that private money is. i could tell you that the public budget is over $83 million. the contribution of the so- called public-private contribution is less than 1%. an enormous effort has been made to make sure it is publicly supported so that it will reflect the first amendment, freedom of information, and democracy. this is betrayed for a fraction of a penny, let alone accountability. not using the slightest bit of honesty. the public is entitled only to be good slaves and expressed gratitude. the point of my presentation is what happens to institution when maintaining class barriers .becomes more important than the truth itself? what they have done to the library can be done to what you care about. it makes sense to do this to the library first because the library involves the public right to know. without that right, democracy has no power, and if the people do not have the power, and we are a
