a few days later, "the washington post" had a story that said, wait a minute.t wasn't put on page a-1, it was put on page a-13 or 18. and that was done for two-fold. the writers at "the washington post" didn't have full confidence in their own reporters. how do we know if they're getting it right? but, also, the tie, the emphasis in the media at large was going in favor of the bush argument, in favor of the war, because -- >> what's the bottom line here? >> because it was after 9/11 and it was easier to go along and ben bradley had this great line that he said a couple years ago. he said the hardest thing in the world for a newspaper in washington is to call the president of the united states a liar. and that's what this would have entailed. the big stories with and this is what paul fairy didn't get to. the big story of the time was that the white house, we talked about this, bush and cheney were perpetuating a gigantic swindle. >> let me get back to you. what pinkus said in his piece today, he points out the problem of any kind of journalist. if you're using

and on the sunday edition, "the washington post" put this on the front page.us mission, awesome risk: bold war plan emphasizes lightning attacks and complete logistics." but buried inside that edition of the paper were more skeptical articles headlined, "u.s. risks isolation, breakdown of old alliances in case of war." "u.s. lacks specifics on banned arms." "u.s. misstepped led to failed diplomacy." this is an amazing story and a tragic un. david corn was a skeptic of the war before, during, and after. joan walsh was news editor at salon in the lead up to the war and also a war skeptic. both are msnbc's analysts. joan, you've been in editing, and this is the same thing that you've got bill keller saying and the same thing that the media critic or media writer for "the washington post," admitting now, and it's way too late, that the placement of the story is for more pizazz or embedding, whatever you want to call it, joining the troops. but none of the good edward r. murrah reporting that we later came that we identify with murrah was critical journalism, not r

lou: "washington post" of all, the pinnocios are flying all over there. talk about janitors, that was a pretty pathetic effort to being candid and apologize earlier saying he should have used elimination, which they weren't. and pink slips. so he gets more pinnocchio and is working on another four pinnocchio if he isn't careful. they have gotten away with this for years. the attitude of the white house is a transitory moment. >> he has been embolden to go out and basically scare the american people and quite frankly lie to us and not be candid about it. it has been so outrageous by the top levels of the banishment of this administration that even the press are now calling him on it. lou: i was struck by the fact that they began with the former governor of florida, former presidents brother saying basically he is interested in being a voice of reason leaving the republican party, which he says right now is all but lost. this is about the worst time anybody could be deflecting attention from this white house. aren't there wise men to counsel these folks? >>

she, for example, told the "the washington post" that she was surreptitiously taped. hidden camera. into the camera in a video camera in our conversation with her. it was absurd not at all clear what happened. i know the post piece did not prove our piece wrong. >> bill: was this an underaged prostitute you talked with. >> no she identified herself as 24. >> bill: regular prostitute >> bill: how do you know the woman is telling the truth? i want to give all americans the benefit of the doubt and the presumption -- >> -- sure. >> bill: the presumption of innocence. when a journalist parades somebody through, makes a heinous allegation about a public figure. >> right. >> bill: and that person is pretty much protected, they are anonymous. i don't know. it makes me a little queazy, tucker. >> i get it. this is one of the basic can a nun drums of journalism. people come forward and make agencies. can you know the truth of them. >> bill: face on them and they are out there and they are taking the bricks that come with an allegation. i can understand that. but a protected criminal? >> but,

the war is between the washington post and daily caller. bob menendez, senator from new jersey has denied these claims. this goes all the way back to february 4. >> the smears that right wing blogs have been pushing since the election, and that is totally unsubstantiated. it's amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a website can drive that type of story into the mainstream. >> and everything day it seems that menendez is more believable. in fact, abc had an interview that they didn't even run. here is the tweet from rick clein: >> the daily caller as we mentioned still standing by their story that there is another prostitute, another woman. they say that the washington post mistook one prostitute for another on monday. of the>> this is exactly the kind of story that gets people all excited, gets tucker carlson of the daily caller excited gets the people in washington to follow those sort of salateous stories excited. if you dig deeper, there is the potential that someone was paid off to lie around an election about

here's the "washington post"/abc poll just last week. 58% said it should be legal.36% illegal. >>> enter gary bower. president of the american values. a conservative group opposed to gay marriage. on fox yesterday, bower was asked whether he was concerned that public opinion does not line up with his group's position. >> do you worry that this only puts the republican party further out of touch with the mainstream of american voters? >> no, i'm not worried about it because the polls are skews, chris. just this past november, four states, very liberal states, voted on this issue. my side lost all four of those votes. but my side had 45%, 46% of the vote in all four of those liberal states. in fact, those marriage amendments that i supported that would keep marriage a man and a woman outran mitt romney and four liberal states by average of four points. >> all right. >> even though the anti-marriage amendments he mentioned did better than romney, they did lost. that's another not so winning argument for gary. >>> an interesting side note on this week's supreme court he

"the washington post," did obama cry wolf on sequester? u.s. news and world report, how obama bungled the sequester. and from politico, obama administration sequester claims shot down by fact checkers. and tom brokaw said mr. obama present too much time campaigning, suggesting he should have been at camp david with congressional leaders working out a deal. so, jim, has the coverage changed? have we seen that about-face? >> i think it has. the media research center's jeffrey dickens pointed out that two-thirds of the mainstream media coverage was alarmist before this happened, but then, i think, last week i said that the administration was getting a little ahead of its skis in terms of sequester and pushing too hard and declaring doom and gloom and i think having watched "saturday night live" last weekend where it had a fake president obama saying, quote, i don't know anything about money, unquote. and i think now you can say the administration has jumped the shark on-- to use a tv cliche and further compounded the problem canceling the white ho

here's what the "washington post" says. that statement is not real, it is false. definitely not based on reality. "washington post" writing nothing in president obama statement came close to being correct. let me read that again. nothing, president obama statement came close to being correct. citing the sequestered plan from the architect of the capitol, the opposite deals with pectoral contracts and a document that reads "we do not anticipate furloughs for employees as a result of sequestration." and outrageously the president's drama is more than misplaced, mr. obama at least unintentionally broke faith with one of his biggest union supporters, the national federation of union employees union because the union had already promised to give back any lost pay for its members if they were to actually receive a sequester furlough. which they haven't, and apparently which they won't. the backlash against obama administration reckless disregard for the truth in the process has now officially begun. "the new york times" and the "washington post," both publishing scathin

carol len anything is with "the washington post." you because you wrote that story with responded or debunked what the daily caller has said thus far. what do we now know? bring me up to speed in this regard. >> what we now know is one woman who is an escort in the dominican republic, and one man in the dough minute condition republic, have gone to dominican authorities, sought immunity from prosecution, and have sworn in affidavits that they were hoodwinked into making a tape of some sort where they recited a script about having sex for money with senator menendez and also a wealthy donor friend of his. the woman says she didn't realize she was being taped and also said she was approached and paid to make these statements and read them aloud. >> paid by whom? do we know? >> yes. she knows who paid her. it is the first lawyer who has also made another sworn affidavit. his name is mr. galvan according to the affidavit in the dominican court. he says he also was hoodwinked. he was told by another lawyer to please make this tape, that h

the washington post story was an attempt to take down our story. it carefully, trust me, we did, it doesn't achieve that. they hold up an affidavit in their piece as evidence that the woman we interviewed was lying. we're not mentioning the affidavit. it has nothing to do with the story we did. in fact, it's not at all clear that the woman they're talking about is the same woman we interviewed. >> that person is pretty much protected, they're anonymous. it makes me a little queasy, tucker. >> i get it. it's one of the basic conundrums of journalism that we deal with every day. >> it turns out abc news refused to carry a juicy story because it was too flimsy. chief investigative reporter brian ross recounts what happened. >> as menendez campaigned for re-election last year, republican on poor tants went into over drive to implicate him in a sex scandal. >> is that the same person you had sex with? >> si. >> they all provided the same story almost word for word as if they had been coached. now i can't prove that the daily caller is wrong in that its

patrick packston is the now former ombudsman for "the washington post." he delivered his final column, taking on a readers concern that the post has a strong pro gay bias. and he used access for the mail, and minimized the conservative view and unnamed reporter at the post, the reporter, the reason that legitimate media outlets routinely cover gays is because it's a civil rights issue of our time. journalism at its core is about justice and fairness and that's the view of the world that we espouse. therefore, journalists are going to cover the segment of society that's still in the treated equally under the the law. the readers writes, contrary to what you say the mission of journalism is not justice, defining justice is a political matter not journalistic. journalism should be about accuracy and fairness and good journalism also means not demeaning conservatives as haters. what do you think about those points? >> that was a pretty good discussion back and forth and i think you've got a window into the soul of much of the mainstream media that says our pu

the paper and speculation as to some of the more nefarious reasons for nixon the piece but the washington post outlook editor carlos a little dasa claimed that the reason he held the article wasn't actually a result of the criticism his paper suffered in the article in a statement from huffington post he said quote the notion that we were somehow seeking to protect the post or the media at large by not running mr mitchell's piece is misinformed we were well aware of his critical perspectives on the media's role in the iraq war given his book and frequent writings on the subject so if the paper was already aware of mr mitchell's perspective why did commission the op ed in the first place just for some food for thought on this monday afternoon. on to cuba now where the united states southern command is asking the government for forty nine million dollars to construct another prison building in the guantanamo bay detention facility for so-called special detainees that's on top of the money officials are already asking for for innovations to the facility bringing the overall requested budget to on

bernstein sees it and much of the washington post, paul ryan. >> jon: why not? agree or disagree with the budget, why doesn't he get credit for at least putting something on paper this is what we ought to do. >> it's not his job. >> jon: it's the president's job to put out a budget and he says he can't do that. >>en he's been rightly criticized with that. the fact he's late with the budget is a problem and he gets criticism for it. i don't think that paul ryan gets extra points for putting a budget on. but a budget for people to work on, this is not that document. you cannot make the center piece of your budget appealing the president's cornerstone, obamacare, and i don't see this as a serious exercise, it's meant to gin up the base and that's the way it should be be covered. >> jon: in the meantime, juan, the president's charm offensive, is it working on the press? >> on the press? oh, gosh, i think that's old news.

now after being repeatedly pressed on the issue, and given four pinochios by "the washington post" onims, secretary duncan is saying, he misspoke. here is how it played out over the last week and a half. >> there are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that can't come back this fall. >> you're confident that they're already getting pink slips as you said? >> yeah, i know they -- and just, just that they have an early notification than most, so cannawa county, west virginia and the vast majority of them rolling out the next two months. >> secretary duncan, earlier this week on a couple of occasions you said that there are teachers who were already being laid off because of the sequester. are you prepared to say now that that was an exaggeration on your part? >> really, really clear on this, and get into detail with you. what i said was that teachers were getting notices and the district we talked about, 110 teachers have gotten notices. now, i think there was a misinterpretation that they were being laid off tomorrow. that's not what i said, not w

but here was "the washington post" on tuesday. this was a quote. this will be the first significant tea party victory in that we got what we set out to do in changing washington. >> yeah. and therein lies the dilemma for republicans, right? they have built a lot of their brand at this point, a significant share of their brand, around cutting government spending. but you can't both take credit for the overall cutting of government and then try to get out of the blame if specific cuts hurt you in your district or if your constituents feel the pain of it. so republicans are trying to balance what is a brand problem, which is that they are now the party of cutting spending, of austerity. but austerity is not popular. the polling shows that the american people would blame republicans if the pain for a austerity is felt by them. >> so what about the 2014? are we beyond thinking about this year, kathleen? is it about the mid terms? >> well, apparently, it's in my newspaper so it must be true.

late today, the washington post posted this headline.z prostitution claims were made up. the story by carol d. and air nesto londono tells us "an escort who appeared on a video claiming senator robin menendez paid her for sex has told dominican republic police says she was paid to make up the claims in tape recordings and has never met or seen the senator before. the woman identified a lawyer who approached her and a friend to make the videotape according to affidavits obtained by the post. that man has in turn another lawyer who gave him a script for the tape and paid him to find women to fabricate the claims the affidavits say. the post goes on to report in an affidavit obtained monday, one of the women on the tape who describes herself as an escort said she and a colleague were offered money by a lawyer to read from a script. the woman said she was surreptitiously videotaped. let's look at that again.
