whittaker chambers and communist, but it was really a trial of worldviews.the communism versus the theistic worldview that had to come to embrace over the course of his life. it also put what was then a relatively inconsequential, small backwater news reaper on the map. the newspaper of course is the "washington post," which covered the trial asked actively inhabits covers picked up around the country. because the results of a trial of new deal ideas, it really established the "washington post" as a leading liberal progressivist newspaper of the late 20th century. well, all of these back or send more go into creating a media today, so much so that a 1996, it has been in wife team, along with sandy rothman their collaborator were able to read a call to media elite, in which they found after extensive surveying that journalists were well to the left of the general public on a wide range of ideas. not just the culture ideas we think about today like abortion and homosexuality, but they do such as affirmative action and energy policy as well. fast forward anothe

what i want to achieve in this film that i'm producing with forest whittaker is a wonderful balance of. he was a good person. sometimes the sensational news about richard and information can overshadow the light stuff and the good. and i hope we achieve that balance, and that's my goal. >> there's so much more i want to talk to you about, but we've got to go. i wish i could talk to you for another hour. thank you so much for being here. best of luck with the film. >>> up next, my ode to a man who changed american politics for better or worse. probably a little worse. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. for many adults, humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.

why were forest whittaker, oprah winfrey and the entire film left out in the cold.the "wall street journal" entertainment blog. we were talking about it even nischelle turner jumped on that right away. why do you think "the butler" was shut out. >> it came out in august. in movie terms it's like coming out in the 1800s. people don't remember the emotional impact it had on them. critical aclame for "the butler" has been falling. when it first came out, i know some rotten tomatoes 83% and since fallen to 73 as other films have come out people thought this is too conventional, too straightforward. movies like "gravity" and dallas buyer's club and "12 years as a slave" took more chances. so that's why it got shut out. >> is there something to the idea of the last film that you just mentioned 12 years a slave, does "the butler" wind up being a victim to some kind of intra genre conflict we won't pick two of these films. any thought to that? >> "the butler" and "12 years as a slave" are from different universes in terms of the subject matter, acting, the way the directors

oprah and the star of the movie forest whittaker even were on the steps of the lincoln memorial for the you can't get any more prestigious than that. but i think this is really a function of oscar voters having forgetfulness. there was such a slew of contenders that came in in october, november, and december that i do believe that "the butler" just kind of got lost in the shuffle. >> it seems that way. to your point, the entire film, which was the case with the golden globes. but "american hustle." you know, the buzz around this movie, the young stars in the film. another pairing with jennifer lawrence and bradley cooper. i mean, they are just a recipe for success here. >> yeah. i think this movie did really well because it's an actors movie. it seems you watch it and the performances are very different from what you traditionally see in an oscar-nominated movie. it's almost as if there's a lot of improvisation. remember, the biggest branch, the biggest pool of voters in the oscars are the actors branch. so they have enormous influence in what ultimately gets picked. >> let's go down th

is an interesting debate which whittaker up driving. the legal fray is is possible.he answer was right away the driver. a kind of shows you that those legal aspects are probably the biggest hurdle. >> see what is doing here. the dilemmas of how much control the driver will see is totally unknown. i mean, it sends great, but a number of wall members, including delphi has also been doing a lot of work on this. the question is, is still suspect going to be willing to pay for it? the liability issues associated with it. the technology will happen quickly, but consumer acceptance stories are still very big issues that have to be dealt with some. >> if you review some of these cars now, you can do it. half tidbit. they get laid centering. adaptive cruise control. i take my hands of the wheel. and not doing anything. of course if i hit the next car it is, of course, my fault, but i think that's of wonder how much of this will come in incremental steps and then it would just be kind of a natural thing for people to move to that. allegis said rise is something else. question

for rest whittaker had a lot of buzz early.e could see tom hanks, we could see christian bale and we could see joaquin phoenix nominated this morning. >> we're going to talk about it later in the show. michelle is here to walk us through and help us take it all in. we're going to have live coverage from laens. michelle will be inside the room as the nominees are being called. >>> coming up on "new day," the real reason everybody watches the super bowl, the ads. companies are releasing them early. is this a new strategy. >>> and boy you're going to love this. passengers on a new york city bus got a treat. a live performance. we'll show you who in our must-see moment. here's a hint, change the game, don't let the game change you. when you have diabetes like i do, getting the right nutrition isn't always easy. first, i want a way to help minimize my blood sugar spikes. then, a way to support heart health. ♪ and let's not forget immune support. ♪ but now i have new glucerna advance with three benefits in one. including carbsteady u

whittaker chambers, and that comment in particular. the revolution has already occurred. the status or progressive revolution of 100 years ago, we're living in it right now, and what i try and do in -- actually all four of these books, men in black, liberty and tyranny, ameri-topia and the liberty amendments, is to discuss it at some length and make the case, and we do live in a largely post-constitutional period. there are some conservatives, quote unquotes, more than likely pseudo conservatives, who are perfectly happy with this and are prepared to accommodate it so they come up with so-called reforms, a little tax cut here, something on the edge over here, but will not address the constitutional issues in the foundational detect -- defects of the new deal and these other things that it created. so, there's some of that is skissism within the conservative moment, if there is a movement. they quotedded mondes burk speeding the status quo. he supported the revolution. and -- but the american revolution was considered rem pretty damn radical at the time, too, and burk supp
