and you look at fox news. and again, this is a channel that -- let's remind our viewers donated $1 million to the u.s. chamber of commerce and $1.25 to the republican governor's association last year. that was precedent setting. now there's a confluence of media and money. if we are talking about free speech and democracy and the political process and transparency, i think it's a disturbing trend. >> what he's really done for himself is created a nightmarish bookkeeping task. he has to record every dime that comes into that pac, where it came from, occupation, address of who sent it, and then every penny he spends in that pac. we'll see how long he enjoys doing that. >> indeed we will. >> alex wagner, thank you for joining me tonight. >> thanks, lawrence. >>> coming up -- american history bachmann style. the republican presidential candidate sticks to her own version of history, which provokes jimmy kimmel to present american history according to michele bachmann. and we will bring you glenn beck's final minut

which should not have been surprising, because i do watch a lot of fox news. dammit! i did it again. wait. [applause] don't applaud my ignorance. politifact, the non-partisan fact-checking guy or guys or girl, thoroughly researched my state, and they found that while in two of the news survey, fox news viewers scored the lowest, in other polls they were merely near the bottom. [laughter] some of fox news individual shows scored as more informed of let's say viewers of, i don't know, this show. so thanks for fact [bleeped] me, stoners. get a job! [applause] we can't all teach world history. anyway, ultimately politifact declared my statement false. i defer to their judgment, and i apologize for my mistake. to not do so would be irresponsible. if i were to continue to make such mistakes and misstatements and not correct them, especially if each and every one of those misstatements happened to go in one very particular direction on the political spectrum, well, that would undermine the very integrity and credibility that i work so hard to pretend to care about. laftd [la

and i would point to a fox news poll. leaders in washington failed to reach an agreement on the debt limit. who is to blame? president obama or congressional republicans? president obama 32% congressional republicans 47%. when you have that kind and this is a fox news poll, when you have that kind of result, then the tea party and the republican have to say you know what? they are right and i do believe they are but we are not selling it. we're not is selling it because most reference don't understand why we're right. so instead of being pig-headed and saying i'm not going to compromise no matter what, you go out there and you say we're reasonable people. let's see your plan, mr. president, and we'll discuss it that is my major point. >> laura: one thing is in negotiations you don't show all your cards. >> michele bachmann who i respect i like. she came on the factor and said absolutely not voting for the debt ceiling rise, no matter what. and there are a number of tea party adhererents who support that position. just say

news corps has put fox news in a bit of a bind. the network has apparently gone out of its way to avoid a lot of reporting on its parent company's troubles. >> not a word about this international story last week. on "news watch" panelists joked about off the air. >> anybody want to bring up the subject we're not talking about for the streamers? >> sure, go ahead. >> i'm not going to touch it. >> with a ten-foot turbine. >> the program did tackle the murdoch scandal yesterday. joining us to talk about how news organizations cover bad news about them sechls rnlgs james follows, national correspondent for "the atlantic" and eric wellable who blogs about it. >> it's realistic to expect them to have some coverage. fox and friends had an expert on talking about how terrible it was to have all this hacking. citibank was hacked, the pentagon was hacked, the "news of the world" was hacked. why are we paying more attention to "news of the world" as the victim. >> the perpetrator would be the correct term. eric wemple. >> i think there's a di

tom hartman is a news i don't claim to be either i do opinion but fox news is in the same business as rush limbaugh basically carrying the water for the republican party in corporate interests it calls itself news historically from the one nine hundred thirty s. until the one nine hundred eighty s. when a media organization called itself news it had to be free of bias it had actually the real news and reagan blew up the fairness doctrine in one thousand nine hundred seven the rule that required self-proclaimed news outlets to report straight news and open the floodgates of distortion and infotainment and the courts then piled on by ruling that media corporations have the absolute right to lie to their viewers and force their reporters to do so. now can you see where the news media in america is in complete and utter disrepair and why nobody believes what they see or hear any more as i speak republicans are pushing for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget that's not what america needs our nation actually needs a constitutional amendment stripping corporations of their perso

reported that in the fox news channel's. media criticism program called fox news watch during a commercial break the people on the on the program were discussing how they weren't going to discuss this story. so kevin makes a very very strong and powerful point that concentration of media power in very few hands will lead to this sort of thing it's it's natural that a corporation is going to protect its own interests and news corp is an enormous company so no other no other news corp property is going to go to terribly far out on a limb to to investigate this story. the wall street journal the bible of a wall street. is now owned by news corp or news corp and is is not going to give shareholders in news corp a real story on on this and what it could mean to their to their bottom line and that's that's a real problem you don't get real news when when so much power is concentrated in toby you want to jump in there go ahead i just wanted to take issue with the optimistic note kevin struck imagining that this the fallout from the

"despite good faith efforts to find common ground the white house will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. i believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure based on the cuts identified in the biden-led negotiations." white house communications director dan pfeiffer responded with this. "the president believes that now is the moment to rise above the cynicism and show the american people we can still do big things." so he will make the case to congressional leaders that we must reject politics of least resistance and take on this critical challenge. joining us now is the senate's top republican, who will be a key participant at today's talks. senator mitch mcconnell. welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> glad to be here. >> bret: let's start wit

news it's because fox news is a corporation ever since that eight hundred eighty six supreme court case of the southern pacific railroad versus santa clara county and a rogue court reporter named john chandler bankrupt davis slips corporate personhood into the legal record the courts have ruled i mean time again corporations since they have all the rights that actual people have could also laws just like people can. actually there was one exception back in one thousand nine hundred eight a political activist named mark caskey sued nike alleging that nike was lying to its customers by publishing in the san francisco examiner a letter assuring everyone that the corporations workers around the world enjoyed basic labor rights like a minimum wage health and safety regulations an equal opportunity employment gascony that the claim wasn't true in one thousand nine hundred six audited by he revealed that workers in vietnam for example were teaching lee exposed to cancer causing chemicals that here in the united states were illegal and a mother jones article later cited a nike funded study that

empire and secondly is there any possibility that the wall street journal or for that matter fox news could be involved in any of this stuff and might end up somehow damaged by. well i can't i don't know enough oh i haven't seen any evidence that os clears wall street journal or our newspapers and his own papers we're desperate baldness right now it's limits to news international news corp's british years which is run by seems more are sort of you know i could see this basically in the history where. it's too early to write or both back here in the u.s. operations certainly it will if the u.s. department of justice and serious exchange machine ends up watching an investigation which would be her own company right now if that were to happen yeah this really could say we're less media empires from this very core do you think it's possible that it could take the entire empire down or would it just you know cost him some profits. it probably cost him some profits it would probably cost him a lot of bloom's i mean you've got to think from the perspective of a republican president running f

fox news is biased. if you're a liberal you say "i don't like what goes on on conservative talk radio. i don't like that "wall street journal" editorial page." if you're a conservative you say "jon stewart is biased." you say "the "new york times" is biased." you say "hollywood is biased." and as a result people rarely... people go to media sources that affirm preexisting opinions rather than saying hey, wait, let me listen to what this guy has to say. and it may be that whatever the side has to say is ridiculous, okay, dismiss it. but at least listen, give them some sense of respect because to me if you don't have honest debate, if you don't have honest exchange of idea you're going nowhere in this country. you don't solve big questions, big problems. (cheers and applause). >> jon: but what is the causality, do you think? because, you know, part of the strategy, it seems, of partisan media organizations is to delegitimize your opponent by suggesting bias rather than dealing with the criticisms because s

i mentioned fox news viewers were the most consistently misinformed viewers in every poll. politifact said i shouldn't have said every poll. just most. i brought up a 21 lie salute of politifact spot fact checking so i assume that chris wallace now begins the work of apologizing for fox's many false and misleading statements. probably do a blooper show and carry us into the 2014 midterm s with a clear conscious. >> do you believe that fox news is exactly the ideological equivalent... of nbc news. >> i think we're the counterweight. i think they have a liberal agenda. i think we tell the other side of the story. jon seemed to think that was a big deal that i said we tell the other side of the story. i wish i had said the full story. here's what i meant. >> jon: wait. that was a big deal that you said that. that's your setting the record straight? i accidentally told the truth and wish i could take it back? you're not the... ( cheers and applause ) that's crazy. how are you not the counterweight? >> let me give you a classic example of what fair and balanced means to me. afte

news, the platform of fox news is what made glenn beck is a superstar and when that is taken away he will be a big deal but not at the same level? >> yes. exactly. >> does it seem to you that -- does this indicate that this kind of independent sunday yar talk whether right or left, is less acceptable on cable or a this is this a unique case. half minute to break. >> i have two words, mark halprin. the line keeps changing. >> he was suspended by for using a bad joke but wouldn't necessarily say he is an incendiary figure. >> it depends how far you go. you bring up nazis and the holocaust every week people think you have left the reservation. >> thank you for avoiding any words that will get us suspended. >>> still to come, a "new york times" columnist badly botched joke and fox news unloads on jon stewart in the feud that just won't die. media monitor is next. >>> closing arguments in the casey anthony murder trial began this morning and msnbc and fox news are taking it live, as is cnn's sister network hln. this tragic case, to me, is the most over covered trial since o.j. and i hate
