rupert murdoch, for all the criticism he gets, is invested in the media and innovation. mike bloomberg is doing a ton of stuff through his company. they are hiring hundreds of people. i worked at bloomberg 15 years ago, and i was in europe as a foreign correspondent. there were 40 journalists, and now, there are thousands. i think it depends on the interests of certain people, but they are being tapped, and you can get them to lend to foundations and do this type of stuff. it is just creating the bridge from the journalism world into that world, and it is not as hard as you would think, in my experience. >> i would just say that a few of those individuals you had mentioned are not examples of the types of progress of journalism that i think a lot of people are here to talk about

you know it's been a while since we've talked about rupert murdoch and not all of news corp thing but this is a really interesting little bit of information to me because we talk about drones and our use of drones all the time in our shadow wars it turns out that news corp actually has their own drone that they used to supposedly fly over with you know what they call them. disaster areas when you know if there's a fire or there's a flood should newsgroup be able to happen throne is not weird is not up for debate someone's it is anyway ok even my can be allowed in the f.a.a. is examining i think there are some kind of i don't know what the name was for the kind of license that he could have possibly gotten but if he did get this special you know experimental license to have this drone that just really does prove that rupert murdoch has been the most powerful man in media let me just say one thing raul you know me i like the drones personally i like the surveillance i think it's all fantastic more videotape you have out there and more evidence you have to once again i'm not at all it's

the new information seems to contradict testimony from rupert murdoch and his son last month. now it's expected several "news of the world" executives will be called back to testify. some are calling for rupert murdoch to return, as well. >>> have you ever had a fake conversation on your cell phone just to avoid a real-life interaction? you're not alone if you have. 13% of adults surveyed say they use it as an excuse. that's more than one out of ten. and many people are so dependent on their cell phones that they have trouble doing things without them. the survey shows they use them when they're bored, when they need information, and for emergencies. what did we do before cell phones? the yellow >> i don't want to reveal my answers to that story. >>> a woman shows up at a bar only to be proposed to and get married the same day. >> she thought she was going to a retirement party but her boyfriend planned it without her knowledge. do we believe this? it's called operation white cake. what he dubbed it. the canadian man had been planning it for a year with the help of friends. ev

the man who threw a plate of foam at media mogul rupert murdoch was sentenced today. jonathan may bowles pleaded guilty to assault. the 26-year-old british comedian hurled that foam pie at murdoch's face during his testimony before parliament. here's the incident a couple weeks ago. it was during the british phone hacking scandal. it was an alarming scene really, and the wife of the 80-year-old pink, the1:ssed incc left part of the screen, sprang into action, leaping to the aid of her husband. >> uh-huh. >>> there's something in our newsroom -- not something, there's someone in our newsroom who flies faster and higher than anyone else. literally speaking. let's hope he kept his stomach intact. do we know the answer to that? >> yes, our own bob redell --yon ro, we'll find out. we'll find out. he was invited to fly with the thunderbirds in solano county, the best of the best. hang on for a wild ride. >> what do you tell people before they get into an f-16 or sit in the back seat? >> hold on. >> and don't throw up. >> permission to scream like a little girl. ahhhhh. we'r

but i've spent most of my career, more of my career working for rupert murdoch. and that tends to be fortunately at the moment, overlooked. i worked on three continents for him. i worked on "the new york post," i worked on "the sun." i edited two papers in australia for him, so i've kind of seen both sides n a way, and i've worked vociferously against him when i was editor of "the mirror." i just think it's a very it's very emotive to talk about a dark cancer. um the trouble is i can divorce rupert murdoch from news corp. and his power base. i actually rather like the man and like a lot of journalists who have worked probably at the senior level for him i rather admire him. but i dislike very much the hold he has on the business. if that's the cancer of which you speak, then i would accord with that. i think -- >> well, it's a schizophrenic thing, isn't it? on the one hand, he's brought people access to a world that they had no access to before, thousands and thousands of channels of sport and god knows what. so the upside is very great. my god, what would happen

we have seen a lot of efforts, but things like rupert murdoch's daily have not excited us on a journalistic level. but i think we are laying groundwork for some institutions that they possibly do that in the next three to five years. >> i'm wondering what you think it would take for it to go to that next level and provide quality journalism. >> i just want to offer a slight difference of opinion. i think that we are seeing a couple of things happen right now. they are positive things that are happening. while it may be true that the first wave of online-only journalism tended to be national and international criticism and opinion, which got the name of blogs, what we are actually seeing of the local level is something even more exciting than that. as newspapers have become challenged, and we have seen, sadly, the destruction of capabilities of newspaper and local television stations and other media in the local arena, we are seeing a new layer journalism being created at the local level. some startups such as the "bases and close " in san francisco, "texas tribune" out in texas -- there hav

[laughter] >> you can have it. [laughter] >> sorry, i have a bad chest. this morning my wife told me to get a packet of hacks on the way to the debate. [laughter] it has always been a concern. david cameron almost started off with that remark. we realized we would be left without protection and that rupert would step in. i think he has been a genius for 50 years. he has this enormous empire. he talked about it the other day. he has bill to this mountain of wealth. he is married, 80 years old, sitting atop it, and it has gone away from him. he is remote. an empire that is out of control. not evil or cancer risk, just an empire that kind of wants to run itself. it may well in the next couple of years. it may just implode, blown apart, and explode. >> i do not think that the emergence of a british fox news was never in danger. let's not forget that

not even rupert murdoch would come up with that. we just did that because it is what made us feel good. now we are thinking, with the burning man project -- it is interesting. my partners and i are thinking beyond our lifetimes. it is a bit of a legacy project. which is really interesting, an interesting exercise. that makes you feel differently about the present. so what would make something that durable? what would keep it alive that long? we have been alive and have grown for a quarter-century. it may not be hard to imagine an entire century at all. now we are found in an institution that will house and generate culture, and function as a community. wondering how we can be sure that it is not perverted, subject to internal divisions, will not perish. and that is a really good exercise, too. think about doing something that will last 100 years. >> thinking about the next couple of minutes, we should have questions from audience members. who ever has a question, start lining up. i'm going to ask one more and then we can start going

you, of course, worked for rupert murdoch. >> a long time ago, briefly. >> you say in the article america is still in denial as far as murdoch is concerned. what do you mean, because britain is not in denial? >> well, i think it's going to spread here. what happened in england isn't going to stay in england. we sort of over 35 years have become inured to the murdoch way of doing president putting people like sarah palin who could be president of the united states and some of her rivals on the payroll. places like msnbc may have a certain kind of politics, they may have people who cycled into washington on the air but to have four presidential candidates on the pay rolf fox and to be so intimately involved with figures like bernie carrick and rudy giuliani through the years. we don't know where all the bodries buried. >> do you think at some point this phone hacking scandal which is literally, you know, wreaked havoc in britain, may actually come home to roost here in the u.s.? >> i think it can in part because maybe not in the literal way of that phone hacking, we don't know. the fbi is i

in an op-ed in rupert murdoch's newspaper paul -- ryan said, "during the negotiations over raising the debt ceiling, president obama reportedly warned republican leaders not to call his bluff by sending him a bill without tax increases. republicans in congress ignored this threat and passed a bill that cuts more than a dollar in spending for every dollar it increases the debt limit without raising taxes." republicans need to drop their religion of tax cuts at all costs. ronald reagan was not god. he was just another man with flawed priorities. >> it is not the solution to our problem. government is the problem. >> ronald reagan, like nixon before him and two doses of bush after, wanted to wipe away social and economic progress, the great legacy of democratic presidents is that at their best they've been concerned about the little guy, the poorly educated and the socially and economically vulnerable and the person who yearned to use education as an elevator of upward mobility. without them a middle-class kid from hawaii couldn't have borrowed money and made his way through life with pro
