several months ago check the david packwood show joined c_ y_ t_ network on
you to let's get eight pre-election scorecard from u of sorts of make an
evaluation of the performance are you happy with my production team are you
happy with what's going on and give me a sense of what's happening here
no seriously
you guys are awesome and at your rising stars and as i look at your numbers
every day and i wanted your numbers just as much as i look at the presidential
polls but uh... items stung by your growth and and it's because you work
hard and that book i gotta be out today internally here i told folks
uh... that i'm a huge believer in you
not not just because of your
you know positions of your talents etcetera
uh... because you have the right attitude and if you want to put a lot of
work behind in do the right things you're going to get the success
and that's the success was seen for me as a word static down in the network
what was that i think one of the reasons that we're experiencing growth is
mainstream corporate media is having some serious problems right now and i i
wanna outlined what i think are the problems of mainstream corporate media
you tell me if i'm on the ball or if i'm way off here ivan the problems are
number one you alluded to it earlier this fall so equivalency on every issue
you need to have a on the one hand and on the other hand when a lot of the
times there really aren't too even siddig for example on the issue of i
don't know gay marriage or women's right to choose or whatever it may be
number two lack of distinction between analysis and reporting and i say this
because people send me email saying i'm more bias than fox news
and i i don't respond but i want to respond as they do you realize that what
you're seeing from the as more biased opinion journalism you're comparing to
what is supposedly reporting
and number three the narrow scope of stories that you see which are really
biased towards uh... corporate by survives to whoever's in power that's my
three-pronged analysis do you tell me why you see that
i am sam salir itin is a look at this presidential race
i'm getting a sense of
iraq all over again now why do i say that
during the iraq war
they had to do balance in the republics were pushing for war relentlessly and in
fact need a new balance the just give the republican side that's why as we
went to war
about seventy percent of country believe a saddam hussein was personally
responsible for nine eleven
now that's a grotesque failure of the media
they deceive the country they help the republicans in those in power in the war
mongers you see in the country because looked i don't blame americans a lot of
people blame matters
but if
i believe the saddam hussein attack is on the island
i would have been in favor of the raquo
life to and the media was part and parcel of that
as i look at this presidential election and i look at mit romney's record
i get that same sense again
and people with a lot of course being you know in this media climbs i can use
saying bad all you can say that one side is wrong on one side is right what i can
because it's based on the banks not my opinions so for example mit romney says
that president all mama doubled the deficit will that's just the line it's
alive is no incidents or buts about it
it's not a provide cation is not misleading it's a lot
union he came in and had a one point two trillion dollar deficit headed to my
george w_ bush is now one point one
the uh... trillion dollar lives in in bags a little lower then when the
published him so ronnie's like so that we wanted to point out level
me of lies
and for example president won the super
pract was misleading in one ad against being ok it was it was about the guys
wife who had died but if she had died
at a later time not after being fired at the recruiter so what again still bokram
and i get listed twenty thirty forty
that the republicans have done better much bigger lies an inhaler about they
call it even
exactly exactly
you know one of the issues i think this is most glaring has been the birth
certificate bertha thing right it's john kerry said it really well year or two
ago where he said the idea that the media have to give any new any crazy
notion from some extremist
up there give the coverage and say well let's evaluate let's send people to
hawaii to talk to the clerk who signed the birth certificate so on and so forth
any idea warrants
tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of dollars of investigation from
mainstream corporate media outlets you can just throw anything out there and
also well
let's evaluate let's do an analysis
yet look uh... if u totally
hey you know what you should do a fair analysis of uh... nine eleven s he was a
conspiracy
now i don't believe it was a conspiracy right but they would say collier ronald
hit a couple of items but will take the money often they probably been you from
tel
and maybe they should
okay
and that's an open question
now i think nine eleven species nuts okay
now when you have the burden of conspiracy well though i don't feel it's
evident that prefer gila said people down the line let's do this was to that
now and then i stand in for the media as well the rare
that they even bother to say hey you know what
actually present a bomb a was born in the united states
was the time on other issues they won't even bother doing that right but the
very fact that they're having a debate on t_v_ which they would never having
less than i'll ever this basic
shows you bed hey you know what if the republicans say this in the democrats
say that we're gonna give it
at the fair airing even if it's not a fair issue and by the way a people just
out eighteen percent of americans still believe president mama's moslem town
and thirty five percent have no idea of what is religion is and what doesn't
come from
it comes from a purple eighty debate and they see on t_v_
and as soon as they see a debate a lot of america's just called fifty-fifty on
it was he born here is the muslims egress chip i don't know lot of
questions yet
okay lasting jacket after the election i'm getting questions from people what
will happen test shows like the young turks david packard shows sincerest
cetera if president obama wins and what will happen
if mit romney went on the one hand many people say you know i want president
obama to be reelected but wouldn't it be better for shows like yours
if mit romney actually wins and then i hear from people as we talked about
before
who say well
if president obama wins then maybe shows like yours can actually take the lead in
pushing a real progressive agenda what's your contingency plan if either scenario
happens
i have not probably go down so you live
idea i've been through this already and we've been doing a show for over ten
years now radio online t_v_ et cetera right
i remember after every election or before the elections are over everybody
panic at all but i think those are political nolasco avatar relations
well happened two thousand four elections are strong our show then much
stronger between o ford always sell well you see that he did that on the
republican president
well after president ball was elected knees and all of the elections are over
any of a democratic president under seige of your shows that it goes well we
exploded in greg's so it has absolutely nothing to do with who's in power it
asked me whether you do a good show and i'll show that offers an alternative to
the mainstream media where people go and uh... i don't i get these guys are to
talk about reality his would never goes away david the news and that's what
we're in the business of and so we're never going to go out of business
all right now and have positive words from gently that we've been speaking
with uh... gently their host of the young turks check it out of the young
turk dot com
also on correcting the integrity of all with the fact that
thanks so much he really appreciate it
