now today i will speak to atticus barron of the young turks about jane cougars departure from m.s. n.b.c. poll asked if the future of the media will be online then eighty percent of americans are now dissatisfied or angry with the government so how much more can they take jane hamsher of firedoglake will help us answer that question and if you like our story on the jail t.v. just one of many ways to a military projects wait until you hear about the navy's littoral combat ships we'll have all of that for you tonight including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has decided to make. tell the world last rupert murdoch and his son james testifying before the british parliament this week are a lot of questions to be raised about what murdoch did and did not know about the hacking the ethics of the companies under his belt and whether or not he's even fit to run those companies if you really doesn't know anything but unfortunately somebody had to try and hide rupert and well he got to use that as a big distraction. so now when the pieing attempt

the way of the future or earlier i caught up with an experiment host of the young turks university and an i often talk about the mainstream media its failure to question the government but i first asked her how she felt now that m.s.m. b c actually referred to itself as the establishment. i think that it's discouraging and referring to yourself as the establishment i think really puts your own outlet in jeopardy because people who watch the news people who want the news are not looking for the establishment they're looking for factual evidence they're looking for something that they need to know to be informed in order to participate in what the united states is known for a democracy you know i think that giving people false information or misleading information or not giving them the full story is horrible because in order for a democracy to work the public needs to be informed and i think that people will kind of look at the situation that's happening now you know with m s n b c with fox news and i think that it's going to really make them question the sources that they get the n

now today we'll be speaking of the young turks about his departure and that's n.b.c. also get a look at who gets hit first if the debt ceiling isn't raised and who's already suffering and the new study says that those who pirate music and films actually end up spending more money on them so why do the entertainment industry try to cover all this up sectors mike masnick will give us those details we're going to have all of that and more for you to night including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media decided tonight. so there's only a little bit more than a week left until the u.s. might to fall out of debt if the ceiling isn't raised up on the chopping block for the budget the republicans lauder medicare and medicaid and the meantime the economy isn't getting any better unemployment isn't getting any lower life is only getting more expensive but the oh so misguided supposedly most trusted name in news called c.n.n. they decided to give you a story about something else one group calculated how much it would cost to go to hogwarts

well your suggestion because looking at it from the outside been to the young turks for nine years now these is all the stuff that i was saying that they do trade access for unfortunately not covering the stories in a real way so their excess with getting the politicians on getting the white house to cooperate if you're on the democratic side you know you're on fox news getting the republican administration to play ball and they think it's incredibly important if you're going to an election i've said this a hundred times but honestly it's saying it in theory and actually experiencing it is two different things so i was definitely surprised when he said it. just on the fact alone that he would actually voice it out loud that that's how are basically works so this point now you've spent time on the outside and you spent time on the inside now you know how the mainstream media works which is that they will do whatever it takes to keep voices in washington happy to consider continue being part of that establishment would you ever go back to work for one of those networks if they asked you

i think it does have a potential to be successful at i consider the young turks alternative media all the way and the reason why we're successful is because we're funded by our members a huge chunk of our funding comes from people who pay us monthly for our content and you know people say that's a difficult thing to achieve except it's really not i mean if you cover news stories that orton they're willing to pay for those news stories and they're willing to pay for the content so what happens is if we are doing news that our audience finds important and we do that on a daily basis they'll continue paying us each month as members if they start to look at our content they say they're slipping up we're not interested all of a sudden our membership drops and then we have to wake up and we have to figure out what we're doing wrong i think that's a business model that holds the media accountable and also provides news coverage to the audience of the audience actually cares about and lots and in terms of the casey anthony trial i mean the reason why the ratings went up in my opinion is becau

journalism maybe the pursuit for higher profits because according to a spy in their member of the young turks liberal movement the overall goal for the media right now is to profit i mean they're constantly worried about ratings why are they worried about ratings because in the advertising department or in the sales department those ratings need to be presented to advertisers and if you are cut bait think that if you cover stories that are important stories on libya stories on the economy that americans are going to buy it they want the sensationalism they're going to focus on the sensationalism there is an audience out there for it but it's discouraging because people are getting informed on the issues that are that are important to vet the issues that actually affect them on a daily basis and if they think that's going to bring in the money in the ratings then that's what they're going to cover and i think that that's discouraging and i think they're wrong i think they're wrong on that point. well some other international news stories in brief for you now this. is the list militants in soma

thanks for giving us your input and here's our next question for you just spoke to the young turks about jenks departure from the us n.b.c. and where the future of the media could be going so for now it's easy exposure remains that goal for people to reach but when will that change let us know you think how long until web news media surpasses the big three cable networks you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response it just might make it on air. or the latest chapter of hacktivists versus the world anonymous anon unleashed theory on a new entity think of it as an organization that supposedly represents the height of military power in global politics i'm talking about nato now through a string of tweets this morning anonymous announced their latest retrieval of data saying yes nato was breached and we have lots of restricted material with some simple injection in the next days waiting for interesting data or just a short while later they decide to be very nice about their cyber. back and said it we're sitting on about one gigabyte of data from nato now

that made the young turks happen, and now we are about to hit a half billion views on line.d not have done this without them. we don't have the big corporate money. we have people power. i want you guys to help me in thanking all the great, great volunteers here at netroots nation. [cheers and applause] that is what we have, people power. as i was saying before, we need people to stand opposed, and they stood opposed. i want to introduce someone else who has done likewise. i have talked to him for a long time, well before i was on msnbc. she believed and we believed, and at the time, at conventions like this we would taught, and she was thinking of running for congress. at the time they told her as an established democrat, we already have that seat in your district. we will do the right thing, and they never did. she said i am going to go ahead and make a run for it because we need to fight for progressive values. that is the kind of democrat that i love. at the time we were a small show and no one believed in that, either. we decided we are going to believe, and ask the peo
