>> Dana: FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON SPEAKING ABOUT HIS
AFFAIR WITH MONICA LEWINSKY IN A
NEW DOCUMENTARY.
NEW DOCUMENTARY. SAYING HE FEELS TERRIBLE ABOUT
THE PUBLIC’S SCRUTINY SHE FACED
AND THAT HE HAD THE AFFAIR TO
MANAGE HIS ANXIETIES.
LET’S BRING IN ANALYST HOWIE
KURTZ.
KURTZ. HE’S THE MOST OF" MEDIA BUZZ."
HERE’S THE COVER OF THE "NEW
YORK POST" TODAY.
THIS IS MY FEELING ABOUT THIS.
BILL CLINTON HAS NOT EVER
ACTUALLY FULLY TAKEN
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.
NOW HE’S BLAMING HIS BAD CHOICES
ON ANXIETY THAT ALL AMERICANS
HAVE ANXIETY, HUMANS HAVE
ANXIETY.
ANXIETY. HERE YOU HAVE MONICA LEWINSKY
GOING THROUGH THIS AGAIN.
YET STILL NOT GETTING A DIRECT
APOLOGY FROM HIM AND IT UPSETS
ME FOR HER.
>> YEAH, IT’S ABOUT TIME, TWO
DECADES TOO LATE FOR BILL
CLINTON TO OFFER MONICA LEWINSKY
A REAL APOLOGY.
IT SEEMS TO ME LOOK, HE RUINED
HER LIFE WITH A GROSS ABUSE OF
POWER, MAYBE STARTING TO COME TO
TERMS WITH THE BUSINESS ABOUT
OH, I WAS UNDER SUCH STRESS AND
ANXIETY IS NO EXCUSE.
>> Dana: HERE’S WHAT HE DID SAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> I HAVE NO DEFENSE THAT IS
INEXCUSABLE.
INEXCUSABLE. WE ALL BRIDGE OUR BAGGAGE TO
LIFE.
LIFE. SOMETIMES WE DO THINGS WE
SHOULDN’T DO.
SHOULDN’T DO. IT WAS AWFUL WHAT I DID.
>> Dana: ASK YOU FROM A MEDIA
STANDPOINT.
STANDPOINT. HILLARY CLINTON WANTS TO DO THIS
DOCUMENTARY WITH HULU.
IT COMES OUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DEMOCRAT’S PRIMARY
CAMPAIGN JUST AS THEY’RE GETTING
DOWN TO FIGURING OUT WHO IS
GOING TO BE IN.
YET HERE WE ARE, WE’RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT BILL CLINTON’S AFFAIR
WITH MONICA LEWINSKY AGAIN?
THE TIMING IS SELFISH.
>> YEAH, NOT HELPFUL TO THE
DEMOCRATS AT ALL WHICH IS TRYING
TO MOVE ON FROM THE CLINTON ERA.
BILL CLINTON SAID IT WAS
INEXCUSABLE.
INEXCUSABLE. I DIDN’T HEAR I’M SORRY.
HE ALSO SESSION TO HULU, MONICA
LEWINSKY DESERVE ASORMAL LIFE
BUT AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO
REDEFINE NORMAL.
REDEFINE NORMAL. THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE INFAMOUS,
IT DEPENDS WHAT THE MEDIA IS.
IF SHE’S NOT RECOVERED FROM THE
DARK SHADOW WHEN SHE WAS A WHITE
HOUSE INTERN, MAYBE SHE NEEDS TO
REDEFINE THINGS.
REDEFINE THINGS. THAT’S NOT FAIR.
SHE’S ENDURED --
>> Dana: YEAH, SHE’S HAD IT
HARD, IN TERMS OF FINDING PAID
WORK AND OF COURSE HER NAME HAS
BEEN DRUG THROUGH THE MUD.
WE WISH HER THE BEST.
SO I’LL GET OFF MY SOAP BOX.
FACEBOOK IS REMOVING ADS BY THE
PRESIDENT’S RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN
THAT ASK USERS TO FILL OUT A
CONGRESSIONAL CENSUS.
CONGRESSIONAL CENSUS. BAKE WILL WHAT HAPPENED IS, ANDY
STONE, THE FACEBOOK SPOKESPERSON
SAID THERE’S POLLTIES IN PLACE
TO PREVENT CONFUSION AROUND THE
OFFICIAL U.S. CENSUS.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE
BEING ENFORCED.
BEING ENFORCED. HERE’S WHAT MARK ZUCKERBERG TOLD
ME IN OCTOBER ABOUT HOW THEY
WERE GOING TO POLICE POLITICAL
SPEECH.
SPEECH. >> MY BELIEF IS THAT IN A
DEMOCRACY IS I DON’T THINK THAT
WE WANT PRIVATE COMPANIES
CENSORING POLITICIANS IN THE
NEWS.
NEWS. I GENERALLY BELIEVE AS A
PRINCIPAL PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE
WHAT IS CREDIBLE AND WHAT THEY
WANT TO BELIEVE AND WHO THEY
WANT TO VOTE FOR.
I DON’T THINK THAT THAT SHOULD
BE SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TECH
COMPANIES OR ANY KIND OF OTHER
COMPANY DOING.
COMPANY DOING. >> Dana: SO THE CAMPAIGN HAD
THIS AD THAT SAID HERE’S THE
OFFICIAL CENSUS FOR THE
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. YOU CLICKED ON IT.
WENT TO A FUND-RAISING PAGE.
HERE’S WHAT NANCY PELOSI HAD TO
SAY.
SAY. >> FACEBOOK HAS SOMETHING WITH
THE AUTHORITY OF THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES FAKING ITS
WAY LOOKING LIKE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THIS CENSUS.
THEY SAID IT’S NOT.
THEY SAID IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH
THEIR POLICY.
THEIR POLICY. >> Dana: SO FACEBOOK CONTINUING
TO DEAL WITH THIS AFTER NANCY
PELOSI SAID THAT, FACEBOOK TOOK
DOWN THE AD.
>> REMEMBER, FACEBOOK SAYS THEY
WILL ALLOW ANY MADE-UP
FABRICATED AD BECAUSE IT DOESN’T
WANT TO POLICE WHAT IS TRUE WHAT
IS NOT, WHAT IS EXAGGERATED.
BUT BECAUSE IT HAS A POLICY
ABOUT THE CENSUS AND THIS IS
MILDLY MISLEADING, THAT HAS TO
COME DOWN.
COME DOWN. I THINK THAT FACEBOOK HAS TO OWN
UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY’RE A
MEDIA COMPANY, EVERY NETWORK AND
EVERY TV STATION HAS TO SAY IT’S
NOT CENSORSHIP BUT THIS GOES TOO
FAR.
FAR. THEY’RE WILLING TO DO IT FOR THE
CENSUS BUT NOT FOR LYING.
SEEMS TO BE INCONSISTENT.
>> Dana: NANCY PELOSI IS
PROBABLY MADE ABOUT THEY ONE
TAKE DOWN THE DOCTORED VIDEO
THAT WAS FAKE.
