let's go to the cbs/new york times poll we were talking about before. the times poll headline, poll finds doubt of obama's step on gay marriage. it's a headline for "the new york times." they have been headlining the gay marriage decision every day on the front page for a week. the cbs news in new york, they have. it's the masters 2000 what? 2003 again? it's a big deal in manhattan. >> across the country. >> in chicago. >> depending on your perspective. >> it's a big deal in north carolina. it's not as big a deal as you say, for most voter, 7% of americans saying this is a top issue. anyway, in the new york times/cbs poll, romney is ahead 46% to 43%. the poll shows romney's support among women voters topping the presidents. remember the gender gap mark halperin? what happened? romney had the latest cbs/new york times poll, you look inside the numbers, 6% more of the respondents were democrats than republicans. this poll was tilted democratic. still, more women supporting romney right now. >> well, that poll shows democrats did well. there's disinnocence

look, we are not going to -- we are seeing full blown coverage right now in the new york times. it is the so-called scheduled behind the scenes peak. it is around memorial day and around the time we are in the midstream of an election. you can bet there will be possibly more of these full access stories given that times are msnbc. can he do it with health reform? i wouldn't do it just yet because what are you going to see? you know, so can he go full bore? what are his successes? how many more stories will we see? this may be it. >> you think he may use this tough on terrorism thing for more political gain? >> i think so. >> you heard it here. aids to obama says he views himself as responsible for the position of the united states in the world. somewhat ego ties staw cal? somewhat lots egotistical? >> when other politicians change their mind, it is flip-flopping. obama does it and it is evolution. that's a little trick. i know i promised to disclose all of my income, but i am evolving. >> the irs is watching this, and my name is jesse joyce. >> that is going to kill him in the so

one media hasn't "the new york times". "the new york times" still reports as if the evidence is overwhelming that zimmerman is guilty. indeed they end a story in today's newspaper shockingly by quoting an unnamed source that made a phone call to the police alleging that zimmerman may have some racist tendencies. that violates the "time"'s own policy about sourcing. they would never have written such a statement about an unsourced allegation by an unnamed person regarding trayvon martin. "the times" has a position on this case and it allows that position to influence

according to "the new york times" investors the u.s. one would have bought 30 times the number of shares offered. steve, let's talk about this. $104 billion. what were their revenues last year? a couple billion dollars. >> revenues in the -- >> 4 billion, sorry. put you on the spot. $104 billion, could it be worth that amount of money? >> it could be worth that amount of money but only time will tell. at the moment, it is being priced above value. we have charts. do you want to do them now? >> let's do it. >> how exciting. >> i listened to the pros and cons on the show. on the proside, nobody can deny, i would not deny it is a big, real company. it's a four pillar of the internet. if you look on the right and you see the companies that dominate the internet, google, microsoft, facebook coming up from nowhere and passing yahoo! and challenging microsoft. yahoo! is having problems and plateauing out. it's my space, it's going to disappear. certain people not on the show have said that. on other occasions, i don't agree with that. when you

part of this plan, according to the new york times is to do what john mccain was unwilling to do. which was bring up the jeremiah wright issue and some of these things outlined in this 49-page report. >> according to the times this morning, mccain is like a doddering old fool who didn't have in his stomach to do what needed doing. all you need to look at the cover. barack hussein obama. it reminds me of a town hall scenario where senator mccain was taking a question from a woman who started talking about the woman. this is seeking to tap into that mindset. that's not how you win independents. that might be how you rally a hard core base but not how you win an election. >> ma leak a henderson is trafk with the romney campaign. what have you heard today in response to this explosive new york time report? >> reporter: well, unusually, this morning when the report came out, romney immediately responded. we were in the plane with him. he said he hadn't seen the paper. he had not seen the report. i asked him specifically, do you think that jeremiah wright is fair game? he didn't answer.

that's according to the reporting of "new york times" which credits bank insiders.o. of j.p. morgan chase warned the losses could, possibly, double by the end of the year. traders is blamed one j.p. morgan chase employees for most of the bets. he he is reportedly leaving the company. good and bad news on the economic front. first the good, the number of people filing first time claims for jobless benefits is the same at 370,000, and analysts say that number is low enough to suggest that jobs market is improving. and, then the bad news, the dow, that is on track now for the 11th loss in 12 sessions. down about 95 points at moment and the associate editor of barron's magazine. >> having a flashback to last year the uncertainty of the european debt situation and a slow down in momentum in u.s. economic growth got people worried that we were in for something worse economically. >>shepard: the jobs number? >>guest: they have been flattening for the weekly unemployment claims and not showing a real strong job market right now in terms of gang busters gain and monthly jobs

"the new york times" says the republican super pac may revive the whole jeremiah wright controversy.president obama's former spiritual adviser whose racially charged sermons became a huge issue back in 2008. joining us to talk about that is brian monroe, cnn politics.com editor. so, brian, good to see you here. this is what everybody has been talking about today. kind of the anticipation and the buildup and then now we are hearing perhaps the pushback. you have a very wealthy individual, joe ricketts, i believe, and he is a billionaire. he puts forward this ad and says -- at least according to "the new york times," that they're going to use jeremiah wright, bring him back again, to attack president obama. >> he was the -- his family headed td ameritrade which is a big brokerage firm and they're very popular, but we just found out from their karch saying they basically are rerejejecting the plan. not only was this plan merely a proposal, one of several submitted, but it reflects an approach to politics that mr. ricket rejects and was never a plan to be accepted, but only a suggestion

of a similar strategy to destroy president obama's reelection chances documents leaked to a new york times reporter show a fancy expensive full color glossy presentation done by a hot shot advertising a p.r. firm titled the defeat of baraki hussein obama the ricketts plan to end his spending for good what it is is a plan to swith both the president using clips of old jeremiah wright speeches and comments the plan itself says according to new york times the world is about to see jeremiah wright and understand his influence on barack obama for the first time in a big attention arresting way and that the front man for the new swift boat organization should be quote an extremely literate conservative african-american who can the times says argue that mr obama misled the nation by presenting himself as what the proposal calls a metro sexual black aide lincoln and of quote when in fact the ricketts plan suggests obama may actually be an advocate an advocate of black liberation theology the fact that ninety nine percent of white people have no idea what black liberation theology is actually works

was just not covered by the new york times the new york times wrote no story about this today the washington post had something on the web site usa today actually out a piece of. the wall street journal out of these but it is just remarkable to me how. if it is accepted by the democrats and accepted by the republicans it's sort of a non issue even within the traditional. for those days although chris who were following this. there was a brief period of time where there was a lot of hope people are very hopeful that you know maybe courts will start ruling you know on the side of justice on the side of rights for people but i do have to say not so fast a district court new york today denied a freedom of information request to the new york times and the a.c.l.u. they were trying to find out more information about exactly how the f.b.i. has been using the patriot act for surveillance purposes they were denied of course the reason that the government gave was national security at the common reason so do you think your case is going to be you know the exception. there already is the exception you'

was the new york times covering it at that time? oh, yes. before television accelerated? oh, yeah. that was a decision made by turner catledge of philadelphia, mississippi, the new york times executive editor, immediately upon brown versus board of education that they would cover this, assigning johnny popham, a wonderful reporter, to do it and then eventually two of my personal heroes, claude sitton and john herbers. i mean, these were foreign correspondents or war correspondents working on american domestic soil. we forget so readily in this country that particular part of our shameful history and how much energy went into suppression of the human spirit, which is why this movement is so great. 'cause, "a," it is a children's movement. and it is really about-- i really-- the book that we've mentioned here is my favorite book of my own, because it's really about the nobility of ordinary people. they're not famous. they weren't even big men or women on the black campuses. they were children of people who, i think, almost family by family, had never finished high school. so the fact

he told the "new york times," this had nothing to do with taxes. i was born in brazil. i was an american citizen for about ten years. i thought of myself as a global citizen. >> not so fast says chuck schumer of new york and bob casey of pennsylvania. they introduced legislation that would penalize folks like mr. saverin to forbid them from ever come back to this country again. if they think they did it for this reason, that person would be subject to 30% capital gains tax on future gain in the united states no matter where they live. >> saverin has turned his back on the country that welcomed him and kept him safe, educated him and helped him become a billionaire. this is a great american success story gone horribly wrong. >>> in other financial news, senator bernie sanders, once the head of the jpmorgan chase jamie dimon to step down. he says the $2 billion trading loss highlights the need to make changes and working on legislation to end conflicts of interest. tonight in our survey, i asked are republicans getting disappoint by bringing up reverend jeremiah wright. 8

on the aircraft this morning i was asked by someone here about whether i had seen "the new york times" article with regards to a pac that was presumably being formed to attack president obama and if i had a reaction to it. i had not seen the article at that point. but i read the article on the aircraft. as i read the article, i want to make it very clear i repudiate that evideffort. i think it's the wrong course for a pac or a campaign. i hope that our campaigns can respectively be about the future and about issues and about a vision for america. i have been disappointed in the president's campaign to date, which has focused on character assassination. i just think that we're wiser to talk about the issues of the day, what we do to get america working again. talk about our respective records and so with that i certainly hope that you get a chance to see our first ad. that will come up i think in a couple days. it will be a positive ad about the things i would do if i were president. it's contrasting with the president's ad which came out again as a character assassination ad. so my ow

jen, what happened in the past month according to this "new york times" poll?e poll with without talking about the methodology. they re-polled many of the people they polled in the past, but you know, the most important issue is women will be working on the policies and the issues of the candidates and what they represent and we're comfortable with where president obama is on those issues. >> our pollster here at cnn did point out to me that he has a problem with going back and re-questioning people they questioned a month ago, some you can find, some you can't find and that seems to show a distortion. >> also, they polled 6% more democrats than they did republicans so i'm sure there was some attempt there to even up the score for the president and they failed to do that, but the key here, wolf, is what's happened in the last month and the first thing is women do not like contentious environments and it was very ugly at different times and that suppressed our natural female vote for mitt romney. we had democrats assaulting ann romney and working women and the w

neil calls me at home and says, "have you seen new york times magazine/" ?"e said, "weir're in it." i open it up. he says, "turn the the page featuring frank langella." there's a picture of you in your room, and my mug is in the shot. >> do you know how unimportant it is. tavis: but you know how important it is to me. i looked a >> i looked at it a dozen times and never saw your mug. i was looking at my mug. tavis: i want you to recognize my mug. you have to recognize. >> it's a good actor story. an actor can die next to you. people say, how sad. and you say -- tavis: thank you for taking the mug. >> i will go look. tavis: we made "new york times" magazine. i love the photo. where is this? who shot this? >> this is in puerto rico, a year and a half ago. it was shot by my daughter. she said, "look up, dad." i thought it was a nice, relaxed cover. i didn't want a serious author picture. i wanted it inside the book. tavis: the first thing i noticed aside from the title. on the table of contents, it had cast of characters in order of disappearance. >> as it says,

for "the new york times." the headline was possibility of a reunited germany is no cause for alarm, bush says. in the interview that had taken place in the oval office, the president said, i don't share the concern that some european countries have about reunified germany, because i think germany's commitment to and recognition of the importance of the alliance is unshakeable, and i don't see germany in order to get reunification going off on what some are concerned about, and that is neutralist path that puts them at odds or potentially at odds with nato partners. now, that's not surprising substantively, given what brent and others have said. but what may surprise you is that article appeared on the 25th of october, 1989. over two weeks before the wall fell. this was to have been an interview about the failed noriega coup attempt, apple who spent a lot of time in germany at the end, said mr. president, one quick question. a lot of people are talking about german unification. the president once gave an instin

>> sean: no, it's not the poll. >> it's the new york times poll.is bias, of course, according on to -- >> look, i think obama hurt himself, i do think he politicized the gay marriage issue. i haven't seen a public official politicize the gay agenda since the policemen in the village people-- >>> that was a funny line. >> when you kids go loam, you can google village people i. it is not just that he politicized it, it's that 7% of americans give a rip about gay marriage -- i was laughing. >> but there is what they do, they try to distract-- >>> this is a distraction. >> 62% of americans think jobs is the number-1 issue. and obama is talking about attacking the supreme court on health care and attacking anne romney. >> it's the sandra fluke and the student loanful he can't run on his record because he doesn't have a record. he runsarn the country, on our taxpayer dollars, campaigning away. and the american people said, enough! >> sean: wall street -- you know what the funny thing is -- you have to admit this -- >> i am agreeing-- >>> you are sweating

in a political bombshell "the new york times" broke the news that a republican super pac was considering $10 million willy horton style ad campaign linking president obama to jafr maya wright. the proposal called the defeat of barack hussein obama, the plan to end his spending for good. but moments ago the super pac released a statement on behalf of the funder joe rikts, rejecting the approach and saying it's all a big mistake. the proposal was just, quote, a suggestion for a direction to take. mitt romney has also now repudiated it. this is a trial balloon? this is not just some side show, this came from fred davis, well known, did the big celebrity ad against barack obama for john mccain's campaign. the firm had spent a lot of money, the proposal included a tv ad, print ad, so now we're told never mind? >> well, i think what this was, andrea, was something that was not meant if fred davis and excuse me, joe rick ets had their way would have seen the light of day and not in the new york times. now these things work in mysterious ways. >> the times was out front, chris. the times said th

they might get the a.p., they might even get "the new york times," "l.a. times," "washington post" news service, but they couldn't go deep and they probably didn't have great substance. today if you live in any town in america with an internet connection you can go as deep as you want to go on any subject. people's habits have changed. people no longer start their day by reading a newspaper with us sort of beginning to end the briefing you need for that day. in fact, they may want to go really deep on the area that interests them and they may not care all that much about the other things that pass them by that they once might have read. and i'm not sure that that's necessarily a bad thing. there's a line out there that somehow, you know, what's going on today with information in the way young people are consuming information is somehow bad for our democracy. and i don't buy that. i think that people will seek out the information that they need in order to make good civic or economic decisions because the motivations they have are very powerful. and i think

. >> there were a couple of interesting nuggets, sally, in the cbs new york times poll that came out earlier this week. and it drew some reaction from the obama campaign. it was asked, who would you vote for for u.s. president. this poll showed mitt romney with a lead there. as being see, 46-- 46-43% over the president. the obama campaign said, oh, it's a bad poll, bad methodology. >> there you have the bash of liberal according to conservatives and all of a sudden, they're coming out in favor of romney and the white house is attacking him. first of all, the liberals like the play and so does the other side. the fact of the matter is romney is new to that as a nominee and obama was vetted before. they don't like the candidate who is inaccessible to the press and history of flip-flopping and generally not entirely likeable and has had a record of make moan by tiring people and shouldn't complain about the media for looking into it, should get a new candidate. >> jon: i know you've got a mouthful, monica, but the same time the poll that white house didn't like, did the president public

joe kahn, who was probably here before, foreign editor at "new york times," china guy. i did china. harvard business review is a china person. james harding of slond a china person. there are a lot of people who did china in the '80s and '90s who are now running things. we're all pushing for more sophisticate nour coverage a sophistication and understanding of china. if you look at the bo chi lai story and how "the new york times" have covered that story, putting big teams of people and going really deep. reuters has had some of this too. get leaks from inside various investigations inside china. they're practicing real journalism. and i'm quite certain part of that pressure comes from people at the top who care about china and understand how important china is and why china 3459ers. i think you come out caring about china and wanting to get better coverage of china. there are all the frustrations that may resonate from having been there. the inability of a legitimate big news organization in the u.s. to be able to get a visa for a serious correspondent who understands china to go t

that talking entry but guess what ladies and gentlemen it actually gets worse yesterday the new york times published a profile on the mcchrystal yele experience thus far and buried beneath fluffy anecdotes about how he's been embraced real hard hitting adversarial journalism coming from the times that was the real meat of the story one of the feeds into the narrative of mcchrystal in the school completely issuing transparency the article states that all of his classes are wait for it off the record because the general quote wanders into addict about sensitive operations in iraq and afghanistan you have got to be kidding me right i mean perhaps it's not surprising this is the university the broad american a skull and bones after all but it is embarrassing that an academic institution one that should be a shining example of open this is allowing a former general to hold off the record lectures but these anecdotes are safe enough. students to hear in a lecture i highly doubt that anyone else hearing about them is going to cause a national security threat if anything in my just embarrassing fe

move in iowa a sign of things to come from republican parties nationwide also according to the new york times president obama is playing judge jury and executioner when it comes to america's war on terror should the president have this much power and what does this say about the future of the executive branch and with the wisconsin recall recall election just a week away governor scott walker is hanging on to a slim four point lead to campaign contributions to america's millionaires and billionaires keep them in office will democrats take back the state capital. so this at seven pm a seat in the polls close in the texas republican primary and mitt romney officially reached eleven hundred forty four delegates he needs to clinch the republican party's nomination for president romney hits this milestone just as he's been dogged by donald trump's embrace of birth or is but the biggest problem on mitt's hands might be his own party losing touch with reality case in point the republican party of i was proposed party platform for two thousand and twelve in a letter to the editor in the des moines re

times" and maybe the "new york times." it's not necessarily one that comes from what people experience. and something i think about a lot, it's also i think a very coastal even sort of a corridor narrative. i grew up in a small town in northern alberta. what we could read when i was a kid was "peace river record gazette," our local paper once a week. watch the cbc. listen to cbc. and "edmonton journal," delivered at 6:00 at night by greyhound from edmonton. that was it. today, my dad, who's a farmer and actually very interested in the global story, because farmers now are all insane futures traders. insane. and they can now actually trade futures from their tractors because they are gps and wi-fi enabled. so they care a lot about china. he now every morning reads obviously reuters, because i run the website. bloomberg. "new york times." ft. "wall street journal." and he can do that from his tractor in this field where he is this afternoon. so to sort of feel like information has been cut off to people, it sort of depends o

in "the new york times" yesterday. "huffington post" this morning that a blue ribbon commission headed by former vice chair of the joint chiefs, james cartwright saying that we have to -- it is about time we end our cold war thinking this this country and slash our nuclear arsenal down to 900 nuclear weapons. is this the right way to go? >> it definitely is. it is a dramatic recommendation. by some very serious people, richard burt ronald reagan's former strategic negotiator. chuck hagel is also on that panel. former republican senator from nebraska. they're saying look, we now have almost 5,000 nuclear weapons for what? what would we use five for? let's have a realistic arsenal that can serve our deterrent needs but at a reasonable cost. by cutting it down to 900 weapons, half of which would be deployed. deploy about 450 keep the rest in reserve, you could save right away about $100 billion over the next ten years. it is effective, it is safe. it makes sense. i hope the president listens to him. we expect the president
