outrageous looking at him like a crazy person, people were not cowering in fear, he looks like a looney tunes we see in new york city all the time. if he s threatening people he should be arrested not investigated by the federal government. what s investigated the incident in 2008. looks to me like, elliss and i might not be in accord, that looked like voter intimidation. the lawyer who spoke last week has it exactly right and i agree with cal. 50 years ago the media and the u.s. liberal bureaucracy of the justice department set forth a template. racism consists of whites discriminating against blacks and there can be no other kind of discrimination worth investigating except for the occasional anti-gay and therefore it doesn t fit the software pattern of the career justice department. the legal american bar establish the or the major media. the flip side of that, during the bush administration, it just
reaction on the other side. we are so concerned, so concerned about the immigration law recently passed in arizona. it is clear that a failure to act on the federal level is resulting in state policies that undermine our most cherished values and quite frankly, our safety. jon: failure to act on the federal level he said and yet, the media seem to miss that. i ve got to tell you, maybe i m watching something different from what you are. it seems to me there s been a lot of discussion of this over the last days, one of the great things about this suit is that it really allows us to have a deeper conversation about what should the rights of the states be. what are the politics, is cal right? there s an angle that goes one way and an angle that goes the other way, but that s why these stories are so important. elliss, i don t think that anybody disputes there s been coverage. good coverage, smart coverage. whether they re biased, tilts one way or not. do you think it tilts one
nation. given algebra a thousand years ago, what have they done for us lately. you mention the washington times, elliss, we checked, the washington examiner, i should say, checked, total words about nasa s muslim outreach in the new york times, zero. washington post, zero, nbc nightly news, zero. same for abc and cbs news broadcasts. i m happy to see there are 3, 2, 1 lift-off in nasa. there s one small point let me make quickly it isn t a bad thing to have our space program promoted for national understanding and we had the russians and chinese in the space station, if we can bring in old enemies not the worst in the world. some have said that this is a story sort of tailor made for conservatives, but if media are truly neutral, conservative or liberal wouldn t matter, right? again, this is one of these things, depending how you look at it. i think conservatives look at it and see secret plot with the muslims and secret muslim president and i look at it and
rights lobby in the media. not only penetrated much of the broadcast media, but they re the dominant force. this is an issue that s virtually lost. i, you know, i like elliss, i think he s a fine fella here, but i m not going to be seen with him in a marital ceremony on the today show. jon: is this going to be a problem for the rural audience? i m sure there will be people that complain about it. plays well in times square, i suppose. i don t know enough about their demographics, i think they tend to have older people and maybe they decided they think it s the right thing to do. i think the test will be ratings and see whether they do it again. i m for love. jon: we have to take one more break. up next, the beauties and the beasts of the big apple sky line. new york city s famous skyline has a few stinkers, one building takes the prize. guess which media company gets the ugly award?
they re passing a law dealing with foreign persons, something they re not constitutionally allowed to do. jon: there are claims out there, cal, this is all about politics and that the president no, shocking. jon: well, there are claims, i m not saying i endorse this. but that president obama is trying to scoop up hispanic votes by opposing the arizona law. the media get into this hispanic, anglo, black, white thing as if it s all monolithic. with 70% of the people in arizona, presumably, many of them hispanic, supporting this law, why aren t the media going out and interviewing some of them. they residential go to the heads of groups who tend to be activists. a lot of hispanic people are in this country legally, they re obeying the laws, not committing crimes, they re not smuggling drugs, we never hear from them is. jon: elliss, i want to play for you a snippet and more of what we heard the sound bite from the attorney general. let s play that now, i want your
