well here's the new republic on the absence of the new york times at fort meade quote. i truly do not understand your silence it's bad enough that private manning has been badly treated for revealing truth to power it's unconscionable and sad at the time sits quietly by saying nothing even worse simply running a.p. wire copy to let the story itself. well the publication is now apologizing for the lack of coverage somewhat the paper's public editor margaret sullivan wrote a response saying quote in failing to send its own reporter to cover the fascinating and important pretrial testimony of bradley manning the new york times missed the boat and over the past several days a compelling testimony or as compelling testimony over the harsh treatment of this twenty four year old army private turned whistleblower illegal informant depending on your point of view flooded the media zone the times was notably absent well it will be interesting to see if these words will be followed by any action and if we do in fact see reporters from the times to make the trip to ford need. well

here is "the new york times" frontpage. the headline -- that is "the new york times" reporting. inside the paper, they say democratic leaders say they will move forward on legislation this week only a senator mitch mcconnell of kentucky, the republican leader, will assure them it will not be filibustered -- investors anticipate a turbulent week in the market of congress and the white house continued the standout. i also note that mr. mcconnell's own reelection bid is coming in 2014. the borrower review of the nothing to shift the anger of some self assessment of the speaker does nothing to pass it does go to the floor. the bill is not moving along, says bob corker from tennessee. here is what the republican from idaho had to say about the fiscal cliff negotiation.

"the new york times" book review. we may think of the book review as having been there forever but it's been around only since 1896. practically forever but not quite. in advance of the book review's fifth anniversary back when it was pushed with the saturday paper, harpers published this note of congratulations: not only has the saturday supplement of the times become a serious and worthy factor in journalism but all prooperate temperatures of other newspapers whose wisdom is greater than their vanity have emulated the example. every daily journal in new york and nearly everyone in the country now has a well-conducted literary department. unfortunately that last part is no longer true. as you know sunday book section are becoming increasingly scarce, but through changing times and changing fortunes, generations of the families maintain the times commitment to books, not just sundays but through the week, even as other papers have eliminated book coverage. as al thunder sillsberg -- arthur sulzberger receives the awar

this is, this is, this is is a headline from "the new york times." even if republicans were to agree to mr. obama's core demand that the top marginal income rates return to the clinton-era levels of 36%, 39.6% after december 21st, the article goes on to say, the additional revenue would be only about a quarter of the $1.6 trillion that mr. obama wants to collect over ten years. why should republicans agree do that. if it's not going to generate enough revenue, congressman? >> well, it's a down payment on the deal. we want to make sure that middle class taxes don't go up by $2,000 january 1st. that's something that i feel the president feels, republicans and

people took notice of that in "the new york times" piece. i was also fond of the fact i had a peace at the same time a lot of people have a piece on "the new york times" on the same day making the point of all of the different presidential debates took place at universities including hofstra that have ridiculous speech codes and i have some fun pointing out that if he were to apply these to the presidential candidates by the plan language of these codes and i actually made the argument that i really wish they would enforce them against the candidates because the reason they survive is because they are sort of kept in the back door when they needed to be if they really were applied across the board they wouldn't last a day because frankly the way they were so broadly worded that devotee is guilty of violating them. i assume most of you know this but i want to be clear. the law is extremely protective of the free-speech rights of college students. extremely protective. obviously of free speech, period but on the campuses in particular the case

i basically covered the war in iraq for "the new york times" for the whole conflict. i tried to put it all together in one book. >> why did you call it "the endgame"? >> well, because it's about the endgame of american military involvement and i spent the last third of the book cover and the obama administration. it's not been well covered by the media in terms of what his policy was in iraq. i actually learned a lot doing it. during the campaign, president obama talked a lot about the goal and certainly took out the troops here but i discovered in doing the book is actually the administration's own policy object is in iraq, don't object is far beyond the troops and extended to remaking the iraqi government and creating a power-sharing arrangement. it included a failed effort to negotiate an agreement so americans forces could stay in iraq in some numbers. >> failed agreement. >> they try to negotiate when i told a story. having failed, they claim credit for taking the troops out. but initially they did negotiate something to keep a modest number of troops, initially

i think -- i remember the new york times complaining. to many of the market. and certainly self publishing amazon and the kugel and apple have in their rush of publishing have, perhaps, taken a different stand on the standard. perhaps even lower the bar of quality in the kind of books that man has been talking about for all of us have been talking about really. because i see it as a money-making business. in other words, the more you turn up the more money you make. does not matter whether it is self published books or whenever , but what happens, of course, is that the publishing enterprise that requires state keeping that judgment and sort of a notion of what is it that makes it a book great and lasting an indoor rink and a piece of literature or a piece of important information, sometimes that goes by the by when you keep making more and more books. so i ask you, are we making too many books? certainly, the librarians and the audience here have been archiving them maybe are a little fearful when i quoted the figures about ahead 50,000 going to 330,000 going

host: reporting in "the new york times." republicans say their counteroffer is close to the numbers supported last year by erskine bowles. he said last week his numbers offered testimony to a special bipartisan congressional committee on a visit reduction were not so much a plan as a back of the envelopes addressed and to show a deal could be struck somewhere between mr. obama's position in the speaker during their talks last year. next caller, colorado, independent line. caller: i think's he's been as a great way for people to have their voices heard. i think it is time for the rich people to start being a little more patriotic and give back to the country that has made them so prosperous. if we were to increase taxes like we did in world war ii to help pay these wars of, maybe there be more pressure to get out of this situation and start investing in a run country. jackson host: bill, fla., democratic line. -- host: jacksonville, fla. caller: i just look at the proposal that the gop made. everything that they made affects

the "new york times" on sunday after the aurora shooting that the justice department went to the white house, i know you educe weren't there then with ways to expand background checks and to go there was a decision not to go assign that far. not to assign blame but politically how hard is it to take on the in ra. to p >> having passed the brady bill assa and the assault ban, the last rea time we really had gun control it is very hard. that's why what you have to access focus on is criminal access and s the type of guns and make it a law enforcement issue. when i worked for president clinton we had all the police pol chiefs in d.c. and that's why also i think now is the proximity to the vote is is ery, very very, very important and i thinkhink it' it's essential to have a vote of conscience, put it up. people know what happened here number one.er two number two is it has to be aboutpeople - people's, the type of criminal access to the type of gun which showed is why you showed earlier the n because type of gun because i think when people see that it's clear that gun is not for the stree

i mean, you worked for the new york times. >> i would say the new york times actually did a pretty good job on the issue of the children in chinatown through a series of immigration reporters that i actually, you know... i don't think i worked on any of those stories directly. >> hinojosa: but is it still seen kind of in the media that this is... that the chinese, the asian population, is, like, this foreign population, and therefore not american, and therefore... >> i think part of... i will say that chinatown as chinatown gets a surprising amount of coverage, not just in, you know, new york city, but in cities all over the united states, in part because of this exotic factor, for better or for worse. so if there's a crime or there is some kind of movement or there is some kind of building or there's a conflict, in certain kind of things they'll cover pretty well, compared to other immigrant groups, like, let's say, koreans or... korean americans orertainin of. like, maybe even south asian americans, i think partially because almost every major city has a chinatown or something thereof
