that is what hbo does. that is what the clints and robert altmans do, arthur miller said i look forward to seeing what my work inspires i and others. when you have that kind of creative home like to do with an hbo that only makes a guy like aaron sorkin want to write better or may come back to better, to work harder leading up to the day you are shooting. it is very inspiring. it is an ideal. it is aspirational, god forbid. >tavis: we will have a conversation with jonathan demme. >> i love jonathan. he would have the same enthusiasm. tavis: i love that about him and that is why he is on this program friday night. are you a news junkie? would you say you are a news junkie? >> i kind of became a news junkie around 2000. the presidential election, and became immersed in the 24-7 of it all through primaries and things like that. i mean, i am. i have -- i can kind of see how they're feeling. they are waiting for the next breaking news ellerbe. it is different than we had walter cronkite way back when when it was

one grassroots campaign by consumers called take my money hbo advocates for hbo content which is only available if you subscribe to cable or satellite tv service, to be available for purchase on the internet. more than 60,000 people visited the petition website within 12 hours of its launch, leading many of them to express over twitter their willingness to pay money directly to hbo only if it were available on the internet. despite this level of excitement for internet video distribution, it is not a foregone conclusion that the internet will disrupt the video marketplace. dominant players in the market today control both the content their online competitors need for their service and the pipes they must use to reach consumers. as a result, much high value programming is not available to online video providers. they also have to contend with artificially and arbitrarily low data caps and other discriminatory practices that keep them from reaching their full potential. so while it's inevitable that i.p. technologies and the internet will play an ever larger part of video delivery, it's

we have hbo in the states. 100% of them have it. convergence of internet and internet delivery with television. >> you are traditionally the vicious rivals. i want to separate you at arm's length. and seems to be a more collegiate atmosphere about the tv. -- >> don't be fooled. >> how do you maintain the competitive edge bhil acknowledging you're headed towards the same end game, which is working with other people in a collegiate way to get your content to the platforms it needs to get to. there needs to be a recognition that we compete day in and day out. i think the challenge is it's easy to use. you sign up one way, you know what you're going to get. you know if you're getting 22 episodes or 5 episodes. you sort of know what to expect. all these experiences, easier to use, more accessible. there's a win/win by competing on one level but creating an experience where the consumer knows what to find. you don't find the hodgepodge shows and episodes a very mixed ba bag. >> no one seems to be quite sure if you're mother theresa, provi

>> jedediah, have i to give hbo credit. they put out a strong statement saying it was unacceptable and disrespectful and they are removing it from future dvd's. is this the end of the story? will this only provide us with a good six minutes of outrage? if so i am outraged. >> as am i. i am glad they apologized. i just want to know why under any circumstance there is a head of george w. bush floating around anyway. they said, we had to use the heads that are just lying around. why do they have his head -- >> his hair never looked better. he had a great head of hair. >> and throughout the editing process you mean no one through the editing process saw this and said, yes, that is george w. bush's head. >> you know all of those left wingers were laughing their butts off saying this is going to be funny. >> and probably mad people didn't notice. >> i think you are right about that. i think -- oh look a peace sign. they all thought it was funny and not a big deal until it became a big deal. the real story is why did they bring it

first, another big hbo star, sarah jessica parker is opening up her fashionable new york city pad for president obama. not only will he see the queen of "sex in the city" but he will pick up checks in the city. eric, isn't that what it's all about? president obama trying to give a big speech on the economy and just about getting the money? what if bush were to do this? hobnob with celebrities, fat cab bankers. he would be demonized? >> eric: george clooney, julia roberts, whoopi goldberg, billy crystal, ricky martin, sarah jessica parker. where it goes on and on. you can't blame him for doing celebrity rundraisers. they raise money. but how about spending time doing other things like i don't know, being the president? >> greg: we don't want that. >> eric: 162 fundraisers, 97 round of golf, economy is falling apart. but he has time for sarah. >> greg: he has done 28 celebrity rundraisers and he is hollywood's favorite cause. like a human walking version of climate change. they should come up with a ribbon for him to raise awareness of how cool obama is and eradicate the disease people

that's what drives the scripts up for hbo. so as a business model, it's just a happy coincidence that it works out really well for writers and actors and directors too. >> rose: can you define a hallmark of a sorkin script? >> yes. i mean i've seen other people use those words. >> i used those words and i'm flattered by them. >> rose: for example in some profile already you can ride down the road and you played all the characters out in their voice. >> i do. they don't know but i'm probably the first one to play the part. i talk out loud, i'm very active when i write. there's a scene that jeff has in the second episode, i broke my nose writing because i was so active when i was doing it, i smashed my own face into the mirror. >> rose: broke his nose writing. >> you heard that write. [laughter] >> this is brand new show. it's brand new but just like you know, you would be able to tell if two songs were written by the same songwriter or two paintings by the same painter. you can tell this is written by the same person. >> rose:

let's huddle up to watch a scene from hbo's "game of thrones." it has some politicians calling out for a boycott of the show. during this scene, of the show's tenth episode, their first season, president george w. bush makes an unfortunate cameo there. they've got some decapitated heads of characters. up on spikes, i don't know, i didn't see the show, i don't watch the show. one of them, is george w. bush. you see it right there. confirmed by the producers of the dvd commentary. they said it wasn't a political statement, they had to use whatever heads they had lying around? they had george bush's head lying around. you can see -- the side by side, there's no question about it. it's george w. bush. hbo released a statement apologizing for the incident calling it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste. >>> the "daily show"'s jon stewart horrified by president obama's kill list. jon is worried he might be on that list. >> president obama is int patly involved in the discussions of suspected terrorists. and the decision over who dies next.

tavis: they watch hbo. that is how they know. seeing whatat you, is great about the sport and make their own judgments about what is not great about this sport. when people look at this and say no matter how well you train anybody in your stable, this is the shakes you have right now of why boxing is such a violent sport and you should have gotten out sooner. >> i should have probably but it was my choice. i love we live in a country where we have freedom of choice. mike trainer told me to retire and i told him i was not ready. i have told several people to retire over the years and six of them told me where to go and one retired. it is an addicting game and hard to give up. we were having problems at all contact events now. hockey, football, traumas is not the greatest thing that the first time i see signs of then slowing down or the coronation is off a little bit, i see these signs because i have gone through them. i will tell them to retire. hopefully they will take my advice. but they will only retire when they are ready to d

hbo had a show called "game of thrones." recently they featured george w. bush's head on a stake. they issued an apology. it's clearly him but his hair is envious. something of envy. >> dana: someone didn't call the barber. >> andrea: so they issued a statement and apologized profusely. i wonder if secret service will pay producers a visit, bob. the producers support democratic causes. >> bob: i knew there had to be a point to the story. the guy that put the mask together was probably also a democrat, contributor to obama. that is the dumbest thing. how anybody says, they apologize for. that c'mon. somebody who didn't like bush decided it would be cool. who did he think he'd get away with? >> greg: everybody has a prosthetic head of george bush under their head. i do. >> bob: i have prosthetic heads of you. >> greg: people who watch the show, this is actually a fairly boring show. >> bob: which show? >> greg: "game of thrones." the head was supporter of ned stark, hero of the show and the person who beheaded him was king jaffrey who is a jerk. so in a weird way people trying to mo

the hbo announcer had him winning 10 of the 12 rounds. i did a survey of the "wall street journal" guy, the "usa today" guy, they had him winning easily. there was no doubt he had won this fight. except there were two out of three people who didn't have him winning. those were the judges at ringside. and it's another black eye. can boxing survive, does boxing have this many eyes? can all these eyes be black? it's a ridiculous development for the sport. people are crying about corruption. we don't have any proof of that. but it's just so incomprehensible. >> what is it about pacquiao having something in his contract which says he would demand a rematch? >> yeah. right. so even before the fight, bradley, tim bradley, who you aptly described as somebody named tim bradley, boxers usually go by the beast or stunner, he's just some guy named tim bradley, trotd out a poster that mocked up the rematch. they said if bradley won, would they give him a rematch. there was no case this was going to happen. except it did happen. people are going over c
