Justice a lot of Asian origins.

Well and I also write a lot more now on the border range of topics you know because that kind of liberated from the one today which is scheduled to -- business -- is.

So -- if you're reading me that's a good barometer of how Howard Kurtz is -- There are no I did notice to -- daily biggest chains -- Web -- lay off for a couple of there's -- and what happened -- -- -- now.

Do you know it's actually boring -- we went to -- -- two online publishing system.

Which you have made -- cyclical different and you know there -- -- -- you do that there were still -- work.

Electoral law and daughter are still to come back to the -- settle the -- -- -- I mean themselves guys I don't have a lot of people like you'll look better but it had a lot of drawback that we can publish fester -- justice system -- -- you know it's all about speed of the Internet world leaders gathered gonna get -- fifteen seconds before the other -- So orders to over the media -- his older of course but as -- just -- to -- about but in other things -- start with a million.

Analyst -- series Odyssey and -- so.

Yeah I think that was not the most brilliant -- did it ever I mean at the time.

I think G why would you want to give primetime show two guys who have resigned as governor of New York character.

A prostitution scandal.

I've actually been constitutional because -- -- -- pretty aggressive interviewer I would give -- But I think the -- never quite worked and I think a lot of people.

You really wanna check it out because.

They were just sort of turned off to Spitzer and of course Spitzer was hired by the previous CNN president John -- now -- -- he has seen -- decided to make changes and one of the reasons that made this change and this is a good thing in my view is.

And and we have a border stage.

Not to delay are -- -- Irish weren't born and the media coverage for Casey Anthony.

Take over you know the American Media mean it was undoubtedly more arguing -- more.

Coverage and more true legal out about popping off about this verdict last week and there was about the fact that the entire country is about to go into default.

And to -- this is just.

-- you know it would look like by blood -- about this is that you know it's tragic case involving the -- with two -- -- trial.

It's basically a local crime story there are a lot of kids killed and in the United States every year.

But what you have a mother who is white and middle class and attractive and it goes to parties -- -- is missing.

Then you have a different kind of storyline and television.

Cable is very guilty of this good -- -- do -- You know it's not very often you have an OJ case -- -- get -- one of the world's most famous people.

Accused of murder -- -- these cases with women often with The Who don't ever heard of and it -- with the celebrities -- -- -- people.

And get a whole soap opera going and that it's very good for ratings and it's good for online traffic as well and I just feel like.

That'll give -- merchandise this case but a lot of these legal pundits -- heritage he's guilty guilty guilty.

And look I believe what political America -- -- -- Probably -- kill her daughter.

But this difference between and a prosecution team going into court and proving its case of that and because it's a circumstantial evidence case.

That didn't happen a lot of report shocked by the verdict because they've been led to believe by -- -- -- that this was just slam -- case.

He's got a couple not as a matter so.

Odds.

-- you know belittling mania media covers -- -- offered all dependent.

Our opponent apart on the million -- well I mean I my job become a brain surgeon who sought after the media what -- -- but you know.

I just try to village by profession which are still have some -- and into doing things that affect people's lives more than sensationalizing.

A tragic murder -- I have two years this consolidated sales to pick up -- -- stores you -- -- yesterday a reliable sources I did the first.

Segment ever past three years and -- happening to talk about just what we're talking right now otherwise I stayed away misunderstood it was -- -- Our stance and -- -- coverage.

Well they have they would have covered also kind of hijacked American Media but at least -- -- -- at least in that case you had a member of congress you know setting stricter particular package.

Around the street -- -- bit of it is certainly raise questions of recklessness and you know the use of Twitter at all that it was a fascinating story of yes we went -- -- would go overboard at least.

Sex -- but at least.

You're you're you're -- to ban the Centre of it was an elected official so it was we didn't entirely dependent boy what -- self destructive -- analysts.

-- entirely -- should also a thought.

What's gonna happen and unedited episodes such as a reminder to do what.

Well but maybe you should certainly burst where there certain people want to receive.

Picture prosecution to -- brought about the debt crisis is present.

Gonna have a press conference -- -- alone Clarke tell Reynolds.

His troops rebelled it was a horrible here at the back cloth over the weekend that they can't get it through the house because anything -- -- -- smacks of -- contact increased.

Is now considered.

And -- about Republican Party which is under a lot of pressure from it's Tea Party was so here we have what did you go to would have weeks until the government's gonna default these guys have been -- -- -- -- For months and months -- -- they can't seem to get a -- It will -- -- like it's there was more optimism couple days don't know I think fell apart Obama's going on television business try to pressure the GOP.

Into more concessions and good luck with that.

And I predict there.

That you know gonna have to put -- short term critics say exactly what Obama had -- say they don't wanna do we just don't get this past the deadline.

Extricate itself the -- resolving these problems.

Casey Anthony is triple -- I'm sorry our -- would like to -- -- first senator.
