ken stern, npr, recently quoted in news max as saying perhaps npr would be better off without federal funding. what are your thoughts on that? >> guest: well, npr itself, again, doesn't receive much direct federal funding. the local public radio stations receive a fair amount of federal funding, and some of that money goes to npr for the purchase of programming services. but the typical breakdown for a local radio, public radio station is that they'll produce 28% of their own programming locally, they'll buy about 30% of their programming from npr, and they'll buy 42% or so from other public radio stations or other national programming services. and so it's, again, it's a local decision, and they can take as much or as little npr programming as they want. this is the opposite of a top-down business model. this is all bottom-up, and they take what they want. >> host: kamala lane. >> it seems like over the last several years public broadcasting does have to go before congress and make a case for why the allocation should remain intact. of in recent years as your approach, your strategy

people always ask why are there so many women at npr? when npr started it paid terribly. and a lot of those women got in on the ground floor. and it started in 1971. so it's pretty old. some of the women are still there. and i think that it developed a tradition for that. well, actually, the weird thing is everybody else's salaries have gone down so much that we are good. but in answer to your larger question, it depends, i think. it depends on whether or not a box is being checked off and that minority or woman voice is somewhat suppressed or squished into that box so they are not describing themselveses in that environment. and also as we know very well, not every, you know, woman is going to bring interesting and particular stories or every black person care about particular issues that are in the community. so these are purely numbers. you have to start somewhere. >> we do have certain numbers. thank you to bob and daphney and brooke gladstone. dave is going to hang out for more because next i am going to talk to dave about what he is so angry about. it's about the st

my brother was working at "the fanl times" and before that, npr. all these reputable places. i said let's just go on the road. at first, he was like no. he was very rational. and i was like come on. >> jimmy: and when your brother is the guy with the camera, does it affect the way you behave? >> well, you would think there would be certain things i wouldn't do in front of him. but we have this fun game that whenever i'm making out with a dude, i go ear muchffs and he jt keeps going. >> jimmy: he's filming you making out with a dude? >> lots of dudes. this is the real life as it happens on the road. i mean, there's also some very touching moments. >> jimmy: sounds like those are touching moments, yeah. so he's there with a video camera. >> oh, yeah. >> jimmy: maybe that's a good strategy actually. there's only so much you're going to do if your brother is there filming. >> that is not true. you're going to see it all. and that's the crazy thing is because it's my brother, there was no bs. like, it's all real. and a lot of it is me with no makeup. me looking very not glamorous.

representative jordan told npr i quote, look, the plant is in the fourth congressional district but if it was not in the best interest of the national defense you would not see me supporting it like we do but it's not and yet we are. i'm pleased to be joined by heather h erlberg. welcome to view. >> great to be with you. >> john: thank you. i find this mind boggling. given that america has spent billions of dollars in afghanistan, why is the c.i.a. giving karzai millions under the table, and what do you think these not so secret millions are supposed to buy? >> well, you cast your mind back ten years ago right after the u.s. went through afghanistan and identified karzai as the best hope to bring afghanistan society together. i think the most charitable interruption you can put on it is it starts with karzai giving him walking around money hopeing to establish himself. that's the most charitable explanation. that's a ten-year-old explanation and it does not explain my david detail in that some of the money was delivered in oreo boxes and the c.i.a. wanted the boxes back. >> john: wow t

then go to michael hiblon news director for npr and told mother jones about his experiences in trying to cover the spill himself. it was less than 90 seconds before suddenly the sheriff's deputies started yelling that all the media people had to leave. that exxon mobile had decided they don't want you here. you have to leave the sheriff deputies started saying. you have to leave. you have ten seconds to leave or you will be arrested. i mean what is going on there that we don't know about? well i'm going to have a little bit of help in guessing what that might be and what the implications of the spill and the cover up so far the media cover up. i'm joined by lena p moffat. representative for the sierra club. thank you for coming on the show. >> hi, michael, thank you so much for having me. >> michael: it's a delight. when we talk about the pipeline we're going to go through the implications here. what do you think at the sierra club when you hear they tell reporters you can't cover it. they're telling aircraft that they can't even fly over it. what's the first thing that the sierra clu

cbs was hacked, npr was hacked last month as well by a group called the syrian electronic army, a group of hackers who often attack publications based on their coverage of syria. i have no idea if that's the same here, but hacking the media sources in twitter has happened several times in the last month. >>> still developing story. we'll be covering it all day. ty? >> jeff, thank you for being with it. that will do it for this edition of "power lunch." >>> "street signs" begins after a quick break.

i thought one of the best lines was on npr where conan o'brien was likening the whole all room to a high school cafeteria and npr was a table for people with a peanut al edge allergy. >> i thought it was good for the president to salute the boston globe at the end of his remarks. >> thetial bombing was a matter of how much we rely on a reliable mainstream news source to sort out what is happening on an ent like that. >> bill: there is so much going on this morning. i don't know whether you have had a chance to see the story. if you can't you -- if you haven't, i apologize. i am not trying to blindside you. have you heard about karzai getting bags of cash from the cia? >> on the front page of the new york times. >> bill: the story is for 10 years, people have been showing up at his office with backpacks and plastic shopping bags full of cash. >> what's impress biff this story, we called it ghost money, he says, kahlil oman. not at blind story where there is not a single source. someone who was serving karzai at the time these suit cases and bags of money were showing up. >> bill: what did

we've seen that with cbs, we saw that with npr about a month ago. mandy, back to you. >> certainly not the first time it's happened, but obviously a lot of eyeballs this time. thanks, bob. >> let's bring in julia boorstin. my question is more of amorphous. when this happens, right, i know you're inside of twitter, you know the folks that run the company. what happens there? this was an a.p. issue, but a.p.'s got to get on the horn to twitter and say, shut it down, we've got to -- you've got to stop the bleeding first. do we know what the process is that occurs when something like this happens? >> well, first, i think you're right, it does seem to be an a.p. issue, someone just probably figured out the password or did what we call a phishing expedition, where it allows someone to give away the password to let someone take control. what probably happens is they get on the phone with twitter, say someone has hacked our account, we need you to shut it down. the issue is this isn't a twitter issue. twitter will, though, i expect in the wake of this occas

shapiro is a white house correspond for npr, and former white house press secretary and current contributor robert gibbs. also joining us from washington, the sage of capitol hill action mr. luke russert, my friend, yew boat shoes are going to clock a lot of mileage in the has of congress today. >> yeah. yeah. >> let's talk about what a deal means if there's no deal. a, can expanded background checks pass the upper chamber? is it going to happen? >> that is the million dollar question, ms. alex wagner. we simply do not know. this certainly gives a lot of republican senators who might want to patrick too many -- outside philadelphia and pittsburgh, but what i'm looking at as this moves forward is obviously the debate that will happen on the house floor, how intense the lobbying is going to be around it, and these different aspects of the bill. you obviously have this compromise right now, when does not affect the person-to-person transfers, then this idea of trying to crack down on drug trafficking, and then you'll see more money go for school security, all things we thought for a while coul

they have taken credit for doing similar things to other news organizations like npr and cbs news. they have also claimed responsibility for hacking into the twitter account for fifa for the world soccer federation. apparently twitter keeps kicking them off twitter, off the service but they keep popping up again under different names. by the end of the day of course twitters were all making fun of the whole episode but the fbi and securities and exchange commission are now launching an investigation into what happened. joining us now is matt honan a senior writer with "wired" magazine and has exclusive reporting on what happened with the fake ap tweet and its response today. matt was personally the victim of a hacking attack that took over his online existence. thanks for being here. i appreciate your time. i know you've got reporting to share on this story in terms of what happened and how it is being responded to. what can you tell us? >> well, i think one of the interesting things that happened here is initially there was some speculation that the password had been guessed but i

she joins me now along with npr's mike peska. this is going to be an incredible duel for the championship. talking about louisville, it's been since '96 being at the big dance, '93 for michigan. do they come into this with equal footing? >> louisville has not been to this stage since '86. for them that defensive press. we'll see how that holds up against michigan's star-packed offense. michigan's got a bunch of kids on their team who are the children of nba players. some real big names. people are great bloodlines. we'll see how all of that matches up. then of course louisville's coach rick pitino has had such an interesting career. i actually thought it was great he spoke earlier today about some of the battles he's had over the years. he failed spectacularly when he was the coach of the boston celtics. he says that experience taught him humility. he wishes earlier in his career had he been a bit more humble. he learned. as in any field, politicians, actors, now he gets to this stage, back up at the top of his profession with a

npr reports that quote guantanamo's prisoner population shas shrunk by roughly over a third under president obama and its symbolic poetency has diminished. in large part because of capturing suspected drifts, the administration has turned to wiping them out. the latest example came yesterday when a u.s. drone strike killed four unidentified people along the afghanistan-pakistan border. following a heated debate in february over the use of targeted drone strikes, the president made a promise in his but that our efforts are even more transparent to the american people and to the world. >> on president obama's watch, the use of drones has increased seven-fold and the promise could be more transparent has yet it materialize, an exhaustive report last week by the mcclatchy news organization which obtained classified documents relative to the drone program reveals that it deployed u.s. drones only against senior leaders of al qaeda groups, the u.s. administration has targeted hundreds of unidentified other militants. the report indicates that despite the administration's guarantees of accuracy, d

the first comment was an angry man saying your basis and eurocentric but there was no mention in on npr about the middle passage about slavery that there were heaps in the book about the middle passage and slavery. so there isn't much about the titanic. i decided that story had quite a lot of of the lusitania but of the atlantic and they are in the stockholm and that commission of new york of 1956. but, i try to cover all of the bases and suggest there is a lot and winslow of course there is the chapter about the loved of poetry and music and art and architecture. the day that i was writing about winslow he lived in a place in maine and on the day that i was riding by coincidence you may remember this story, a little girl from new york was standing on a rock and she was swept away while her parents watched in horror. it was dreadful so there is a lot. thank you. >> you have deluded into it a little bit but to look at the question, your book is a vote a huge event that single event at the point in time it's about a huge subject. what are the logistics writing a book on a limitless subjec

i could show you tweetes from our friend, michael moore, or some folks on npr suggesting that hitler's birthday was big for the reich in the hours of the bombing. david axelrod saying the president was focused on tax day. surely you have to find equal problem with that as well. >> well, i couldn't know if i find equal problem with it. i will say, i can't take any credit or blame for what david wrote or what michael moore said. i think david's bottom line is also my bottom line. the reason your mind might go there is because if it is a white american, whites are not pro filed the way other groups are. we have one of our many privileges is we are just individuals. those are crazy nuts over there. we don't have it answer for them. when it is not a white person, if it were an african-american or latino or in this case they are muslim. so some people decide that's not white. then you do crazy thanks. then you have people saying, we shouldn't allow muslims to immigrate here at all. then there is profiling and prejudice -- >> but with the paranoia and prejudice is also on the left by folks li

two from fox news and two from npr. that does make the argument that this isn't only on the right, obviously. more like it's not being covered by anyone. >> that is correct. the "philadelphia enquirer" had 300 stories in their press. and also in terms of the pro-choice groups, kate micha michaelman, she also wrote about this story and why this was a very important story. i think people have tried to bring it up to the national level. but as you well know, maybe it's not as sensational as some people believe it should be. i think when desperate women seek out, you know, help and they have so few options, poor women in particular and they are forced to go to someone like this provider, it should cry out for us to talk about abortion laws. it is after all a medical procedure. >> do you reject the argument made by media today, the allegation is there. they say the mainstream media have ignored this story because it makes abortion look horrific. >> you know, of course i reject that because your own evidence demonstrates that
