migrations with contributor to our tv show on current uh... and when it came
on the elders often of course and everytime uh... firing made and every
time they take on
whichever
uh... person
group of in that powerseller spent was
uh... not tell the truth uh... not being honest but they are good people
and we just a small competition the that world producers on t_v_ sentenced and
put together
quickly and to give you a sense of
how fiery and
passionate michael was about charles
axelrod
mutation after being one of the the hardest etc
dirty might not be the word i'm looking for but uh... you know at all school off
form of politics
yes technically realism that turned out that two thousand four carey campaign
who watch carried it decimated
by the senate karl rove type tactics
they have a direction that missing is a campaign manager
who knows how to wave which covered stories that i was also covering she
would
probe anonymous pentagon officials say things that were true that that's where
that's where that's right draw the line i think though that that you know these
filmmakers do you have a responsibility especially when it happened this subject
to get it right to get the big it one of the big question on the biggest debate
the last ten years if you have to get a ride said air colour was a busy man i
think he needs a vacation and i think that they can she should last at least
uh... three more years and have any days that this administration i'm still out
like we haven't got too
by the a_p_ at eighties scandal yet but
in terms of of the i_r_s_ again
let's let's talk about the administration's damnit control here
it's it's classical bomb in the sense that yes he's fired him with the people
you're fine are going to be
you know a lot of guys do we know that a personal relationship with
where call themself of most recently he's one of the inner circle he was at
valerie jarrett starters wedding earlier i'll i'll last year and he said was very
tight with obama ourselves so that's why he's survived so long despite guy
despite the it what fast and furious standoff by the number of other these
things and but but i think this
this is just embarrassing when when when you have to go up and say oh i don't
know anything about anything
repeatedly
uh... you should be on the job
so
you know pays i was looking a twitter briefly before the show after michael
pass away
papers uh... davis wrote it
said that we
about people who were immediately
saved her with all the things about these things
even after he died right
what was amazing and i think i have speaks to michael's roles journalist
is that i couldn't tell if they were on the left of the right
i couldn't tell if they were democrats or republicans
because he went after the bush administration and no bomb
administration with the same kind of fervor
and the people who are the political hacks and activists etcetera
don't care about ideology that don't care about principles of cetera
uh... hated it
yeah and i think that hatred frankly was uh...
uh... was shared by allotted of people in the established in media dinnerware
interviewed ah... michael a couple times on the jury report
and uh... very often we will come back to that the mild
just how much uh... the had um... uh... how much resent
uh... he had created in allot of these uh... establishment reporters because
you know for them this is there
this is their career above all you know and
uh... and that is being uh... you know something that i think it's been
really problematic over the years that you you getting far less accountability
of our government
from reporters who are concerned
uh...
in the beginning and in the end
with their access
end uh... where they are within the the the social pecking order of the
established because it's also it's also a dollar figure for them to and and so
it he was a threat to them in this regard because he would tell things and
report things that they would not he wouldn't play ball and a member of
course piracy and what is the somebody
and in major reporter
uh... once told me he listen we need access part editors asked us to get
access if we don't have access we don't have a job and i got a kid who's got a
bar mitzvah coming right
and that's israel is against miss interesting 'cause i actually talked to
uh... michael it to you that we did before and right before you sign as a
pinch of every young turks
i interviewed him kind of off the cuff in my office
and we felt piece so that they think really speaks this conversation that
we're having
so single look at uh... you know what makes you so we're good he is i'm sorry
sort of newsweek originally right ok any talks about that here
new zealand congress tunisia an actuarial onset uh... fasica spotlight
pastries are being offset exile and uh...
and sent him an incident was and
interest roxanna
so he was worried that they were suppressing what really need to go out
but the this max if peace is actually really interesting
sub always sought to senators and senators who put the pressure on as we
once had send also only address and he said
roone arledge back in the day whenever he asked tough question ron reagan and
the reagan administration would
complain abt news
room give 'em arrays every single time
now we don't have those kind of not anymore right we have exact odds and
that's on my reponse time here
so you would write something in what you are groups a lot
here's says
these it lazytown piece had actually it was
and what i find any games in the sixties the first fire
what for
ready
initially details therefore cd piling up
but it's a citizen interested tonight
uh... its ally and why is that you know i think your did it this is a little
but here it is really a finance civilization in this
that the other set for it
uh... but i also think that using only his surname other truth that he can
pages the though that i have
magazine and he had to ask you if you like it was are research
throwing still more more here
he talks about how that pressure manifest itself in in iraq sorcerer
clearly iraq war
and even surrendered
and easy to use there is even a host of something like that but relentlessly is
satellite passport files
not only energies and saying
uneasy so the locals kind of try again
real news hiatus caterers magazine
undercut people
do individual clausen
resigned
they
you know we knew make life difficult on the editors to them make life difficult
on the reporters and then you had this new element in
by the way were also watching you and we are also tapping your phones etcetera
you know just destroy the fourth amendment which is that you know it's
posted do warrior you know in s was a search and seizures without more it's
supposed to specific et cetera the surveillance tape that michael a sings
will offer report on
we are also destroying the for cement right
