like the head of sinclair is that collusion or just like minded individuals that's what i think this guy's going to have to sort out. it's tough it's tough for the thing he's just like oh i hope love for you is that's how i think it can really employee he made it up to this position of power and authority i think is believe my another word for has believes might be his pocketbook good point i think there is money i mean anybody want nobody nobody is that bold with memory as well. comedy a daily caller video about net neutrality would group you to. not the idea i want for a communications to you so the part of these with this mergers or time of billions of dollars so even if you got like a pittance out of that that's a large amount of money and he received any kind of payment any kind of kickbacks or favors all of that and everything that happened that calls into question. or world or world the standard of revolving door in d.c. will be kicked back a favor happened when he gets out of office you know where there's a is it because liberty was a use of arise in a lawyer could it be that thing like oh you know a couple years after you leave office suddenly you're working for sinclair for a surprise it's incredible though house and clear media operates that they're not this is not a company that's exactly running around you know getting any awards for how they treat their employees the f.c.c. and the justice department are pretty widely expected to approve you know this whole three billion dollar merger now according to the times the company has a history of cutting staff and shaving costs by requiring stations to share news coverage in that way reducing unique local content and it's required stations to air conservative leaving segments including law and order features from its terrorism alert that ask so what they're doing is feed it keeping keeping local politicians from being questioned on their and their stations because they have to pay someone to go to the city council meetings and actually know what's going on why not just do what radio stations are during which there's hey we got one d.j. of your could maybe make a list and then you play it at the heart of using that same idea they don't actually care about the media they don't care about making it more conservative or under making it a better laze and last bias they just want to be biased specifically in the way that they cut corners and reduce the amount of voices of them out of reporters you have out there we're hearing about stuff the better for what happened what will follow this investigation sure goes that's real clear. so what does a south korean evangelical cult leader some upstate new york county officials and a biblical college have to do with newsweek magazine and why are newsweek executives so concerned when newsweek journalists try to find out unsavory twentieth seven newsweek journalist posted a piece entitled why is the manhattan d.a. looking at newsweek's ties to a christian university it began with probably one of the most peculiar and. citing notes from the editors i've ever seen in it they described executives and journalists being fired for doing their jobs breaches and journalistic ethics and the possible harassment of confidential sources after threatening to quit they were allowed to publish the story saying that quote this story was written and edited tuesday free from interference from company of executives what they found was that the manhattan district attorney's office had been investigating financial ties between newsweek's parent company newsweek media group formerly called i b t media and the biblical and theological college called all of the university all of it university of theological college and cemetery was paid over two point seven million dollars by newsweek for quote research and development apparently for use of their so-called proprietary design assistants and computer resources and if you're wondering why a bible college would be the go to for an eighty year old venerated news magazine you wouldn't be the only one turns out not one not two but at least five high level executives at newsweek media group were directly involved in the university and were members of a religious group known as the community that many like into a cold and has ties to the university and there's more to come turns out newsweek was giving free ad space to an upstate new york community that all of the university wanted to build a satellite countess in but was struggling to obtain permits and tax exemptions it remains to be seen just how deep this conspiracy between them goes or if the goal was cash or eternal salvation but i do know that this story isn't going away and that the problems at newsweek are legitimate because i write about it in newsweek while does pretty wildly this whole story is just dynamic and we've been watching a play out now for like the last couple weeks yes it is very strange it's the very straight who i mean this is better than like the movie. paper you know it's like oh yeah i d like you know for full disclosure you worked at newsweek long before there is no in one thousand and. i worked in the international division was one of the car is this and it was for a time and that and so when i was there it was still owned by the washington post. and i have no idea what this group was like but then bremer knows where it was a really good so what is that or what is the angle here it's essentially that they were using newsweek to curry you know to basically so ads true communities they want to build this this. university into so like ok we can kind of like a part of the sweet deals you can advertise for free at newsweek and that kind of thing but the know you're going to do so that they called the community which sounds like you know the new hip drama on a.b.c. next fall yeah the community what is the community. like watch it the community is a evangelical group a religious group started by a gentleman named david yang david yang is the founder of the elevate university and has ties to in south korea south korea a pastor or priest evangelical he has ties to reverend sung on loan and if you don't remember them you'll remember that the moon used it was known as the moonies back in the day he would do these mass so at a how does that translate to like i b t's over ship of c.n.n. . to. really sort of lose weight ok so all of that is owned by this david yang who is the. religious leader from south korea with connections to calls he often. people who are in part of the religion say he's the second coming well yeah hold right so he owns the city he's a founder of this university members of ivy tea were also men are all members of that church and there's connection so at one point when you had newsweek was being alone and you know it's gone through three different owners since you know in its eighty years really all in the last few years and what happened was so i was really called international business times media and they ran an international business times and a number of other properties so the founder of that company ensign a sac he buys his and his company i b t buys newsweek you know changes their name to newsweek media group and the reason he did is he set it straight up in an interview that when he bought it it was for the. i connick brand cache and that newsweek opens up a lot of doors on the business from this back in two thousand and thirteen so and the reason his open reasoning for working with all of that on this technology thing they have a they have a school in san francisco and technology school is only a ten year old university their reason for it was their elite angelical world view . not sure how that helps with technology but somehow they're developing a bible college is developing proprietary information and truth what a lot of people are saying what a lot of the concern about is that david yang is really using his you know this university and everything else for his own business and the concern is that and today. and today to zach and the number of members of the. media group that there are connections personal connections that they're using you to others business because musically even then i did see it was in financial distress at one point and they were still giving me. bad as wild as that's lot of rumor going to keep that yeah that's not really. it's like a game of blue and that is all right so we have to go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of on facebook or twitter see our poll shows at r t dot com coming up we find out if the notorious michael flynn may in fact be preparing to change his plea deal with me you were collusion the best occasion and we welcome you this live to hawks of course dissected say to. you. there is now three hundred trillion dollars of saleable wealth in the world today but now look at how much money we spent on the world the military. we just talked about a few more million. save the lives of people around the world in doing this such a way that doesn't create you didn't see it with that much wealth in the united states that much well. the rest of the world is a nice useable for any person in the world today you know today. thank you. the now the but . the other girl i want to do is just show you very soon we will be very clear right. away your. management. and the young lady while they have them they are the little. scheme you need the builders or. something and the what do you how about the bahamas allegedly do you look local do you wonder in the. us to do whatever. i want to mean that we can measure that's a constant or next line. but the pace of modern political life you'd be forgiven for it forgetting that general michael flynn was once a u.s. national security adviser but were pleading guilty to a single charge of lying to f.b.i. agents about his alleged conversations with the russian ambassador charged convicted and forgotten michael flynn maybe to all but his family and most loyal conservative fans but that apparently may be all changing and in some rather shocking ways according to analysis by margot cleveland of the federalist emotion by michael flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works based on recent under under reported about. at the d.c. circuit court now hawk watchers you may be excused for assuming that conclusion is simply a feverish fantasy headline willed into existence by sean hannity but evidence that something isn't quite right in the flynn case appears to be mounting by the day and all of it carries some rather grave implications for the future of robert miller's investigation trying us today to examine the facts and this legal i've cited down is none other than our own legal and media analyst i know loveline alleviate spent too long welcome thank you but always was so what's interesting about this is this may have gone unnoticed by many but the judge who first accept the blame is guilty plea and who is also one of three fires a court judges in d.c. overseeing wiretap applications like the ones at target a you know donald trump's campaign now he for some reason we don't know recused himself from the case within days of the guilty plea deal the new judge in the case emmett sullivan order of the b.o.j. to hand over any potentially exonerating evidence to flynn's legal team lionel why is that order so important and why would a judge issue it after a defendant has already pled guilty and made the plea deal great question this judge was instrumental it was involved in the ted stevens case and he has a standing order that says all exculpatory or brady information from the nine hundred sixty three case brady against maryland all exculpatory evidence evidence that would tend to help somebody all must be provided now what's odd about this is in federal court in particular to withdraw a plea is never why i imagine. imagine if all of a sudden people say you know i want to you know just what i pled last week i was thinking about it and. now there's a finale because you're told during the police colloquy are you pleading guilty because you are guilty has anybody promise you anything or threaten you in any way or you want the influence of alcohol are you really sure to realize you're giving up the right to a trial the right to appeal and you go throw this so when you say later on i'm changing my mind and what has happened is that it appears that mr comey has said that through some particular at some juncture i'm not sure if the f.b.i. really believes or believed that this man general flynn was lying about meeting their.
