was apparently assisted in finding some of the suspects i hope there's a viewer or also known as. it was a twenty eight year old man father of two apparently allegedly was the head of an operation conducted out of his new york city apartment that involved hundreds of hackers from around the world now when taken into custody by the f.b.i. he started helping them find some of the other people that they were looking for so government officials say they have now successfully chopped off the head of the movement but even since those arrests were made an anti-virus company called panda security was hacked into along with the website for the vatican to protest according to anonymous against the catholic church itself and its positions on certain issues so clearly the hacking is not over and our web site has been following anonymous closely and i've got our web writer andrew blake here now to sort of break this down first of all i guess was just start today is friday a lot of times on friday we hear. about some the next takedown by anonymous anything happened today you know unfortunately

he looked at the 2004 breakdown between fox viewers and the rest of the country and fox viewers had -- voted for george bush over john kerry like 80 points, it was the largest single -- you to be a gun toting, churchgoing person but if you watched "fox news" you are more likely to vote for george bush. i think, we say in the book, if you watch "fox news" and you're a hard-core "fox news" watcher, it would be tough to change her mind. if they walk outside people are going to look up and say -- a large percentage of fox views -- "fox news" viewers believed their own taxes have gone up. the truth is they could correct that by looking at their own tax return. so i mean, so it's not about convincing a large segment because that segment watches "fox news" are wrong. is showing that the lies and distortion on fox don't spread to other segments of the population. >> and to pick up on that, that was going to me my point. there's no question that there is an audience that wants to believe and that is the core of the fox audience but one of the things that is really important in terms of, it's w

i want to respond to a new viewer a.j. pape tweeted at the alone a show way to bring it to michelle who have been first time i've seen your show well done so i just want to say thank you for watching all of it making fun of bachman is always a good time so keep coming back and spread the word and that's it my rantings and i are back with more as usual later in the week. hey guys well guess what this week is sunshine week and even though spring is in the air here in d.c. so isn't about the weather this is about shining a light on government secrecy the sunshine week was created in two thousand and five by the american society for news editors and it's designed to highlight the public's right to know what its government is doing and why and ever since the society first came up with this idea or journalism groups of expanded the concept to create sunshine week as we know it so this week we're going to be hunting scouring highlighting a few important issues on how transparency comes into play now here is the first one here is

from what actually matters to those viewers and so that's why young people just don't watch t.v. if they want news they go online and read it but we're trying to take those stories that people actually care about and transfer them back in t.v. . is the state run the english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. i let's talk about the revolving door favorite topic of ours here on the show because while every politician and especially presidential candidates i'll let you wax poetic about how they're going to stop it just always seem to keep on spending and a roll call article published earlier today shed light on just how it turns out that several obama administration officials have been coached by k. street lobbying firms in just the past few weeks if a boy former congressman harman executive left the public sector to lobby for yahoo and kraven griffis kevin gryphus former senior advisor to the chief of staff he's now a principal for the protest a group which is a very influential lobbying firm here in

i don't know on the site for about five days i think we had fifty thousand viewers within the first two days of reading the story and from there it snowballed yet clearly did survive and carry it it's no god in a way that affected you have brought you into this story we have got the n.b.c. post if we can throw it up that you're talking about because you and the n.b.c. were sued and you were also you had an injunction pursued against you which ended up being dropped it could've kept you from talking about investigations the telephone happen there. cher after we posted the story i got a call from mr vast close attorney mark sherman an attorney i know before i've worked with him on stories before just he had some questions about the way the language was written about was c f t c being on it for five years we had a little nice conversation he actually begged me to take the story down explain that's not the way journalism works just not the way i work i'm not going to do that we went back and forth for a bed i hadn't i said ok i'll update some of the lines in the sentences and that was it. i

all right it's friday time for viewer feedback we took a little break last week but we are back because there's so much to respond to turbo trana one said such an informative show i asked my dad when i was ten which is about thirty five years ago about why he does not invest in superannuation his answer was that they will rob you i learned very early never to trust anyone with your investments but i'm surprised how many have so much faith in their investment adviser and third party controlled investments with these last three guys get out to just not surprise me at all well let me just say your dad sounds very smart i wonder if only then he knew that not only could wall street be stealing from you but also the federal reserve was there percent interest rates there's so many more levels these days speaking of that we talked this week about the ben bernanke a cover you see there on the magazine which asks if he's a hero or villain and mr jim jack noted the atlantic made a typo it should say the heat. that's supposed to be here of course we thought that was very clever and we had eve smith

another viewer. angel on the phone. angel, where do you live? >> i live in richmond. >> okay, well, tell us what you felt? >> i was sleeping and i felt a small jolt which woke we me up. and we have a bed that is on wood so i thought maybe we had kicked the bed or something. it moved. and then that is when the second one came in. it was very strong, and we have a huge vanity that has two mirrors put together, and those were shaking. i have a box of wipes that almost fell off of the vanity when the earthquake happened. >> and we want to be clear that actually though it felt like a couple of separate events, it was one quake. were you so it was waive and give up quake. you heard it and felt a rumbling and things kept vibrating. is that what you felt? >> i was very close to running under the door. and i didn't think it was -- >> exactly. we were just losing your connection. yes, it wasn't -- give you time to think, okay, where should i go? >> i think some people felt it at first. and normally with that earthquake you get the p wave and the s wave. t

accused but to care about those whose lives he ended or saved a lot of positive feedback from our viewers on this the forty four prods that on you tube thank you for respecting those tragically murdered and the loved ones suffering the horrific loss jeff. all that said on facebook i was shocked to see alona get the names of those victims after all they're people too and let them treat them like that just takes all they're worried about is the tabloid aspect of this story a rogue soldier killing innocent civilians makes their day and makes good copy an earnest welker said on facebook excellent take on the perception gate was unfortunate victims are not a collection of numbers after all they're not numbers they're people and so you're only alone a show will continue to cover them. and next i want to move on to something a little more lighthearted last night we joke on the show about ben bernanke gave a chance to win over the american people through social media and so we had a little fun with the story you know coming up with some tweets of our own that we think that he might send out but o

rant line from a viewer in lakeport california he had this to say about the rhetoric of the republican party i want to go the right can have an argument and either we happy hour. where we have to scream threaten you will get. but we have will be printing is probably millions are gathered behind a couple percent perhaps they kept the kibbutz paunchy crap what we're. trying to do is take a state before then for the fascist to control. tape iraq. here's the essential problem the republicans face and paul ryan i think is a great example of this is the great face forward and it is that they are the party and they have been since eighteen of the eight hundred seventy s. eight hundred eighty s. made it hundred seventy is the mid eighty's when they were taken over by big corporations they're the party that represents the interests of big corporations and multi millionaires and billionaires period now you can't get elected just based on that so they reach you know that's maybe one percent of the american population so then they reach down they say well let's bring in some fundamentalist christi
