time for
the most underreported stories of the year
of course
we reported here on the uh... turks but it was shocking how little attention it
got
as a resident is no more smack in the system
but more to ask this question are really the centers of now i make ok bob but i'd
be curious to see what bill moyers
in fact we show up on the show
he's the most underrepresented just let me just ask her about what it is a bit
of difference
okay um...
so i i think it's a story where arrived her ales week brown tape of him through
katie mcfarlane who was one of their
reporters akattak
point in telling david or travis back when u
surgical intrepid afghanistan
uh... hey if u but
don't take a bomb was offered running the c_i_a_
and which by the way you should not
uh... we will help you run for president that in fact roger ailes
would drop out for excuse to run jumper traces
campaign
and that will from ur top would at banquet
as in the absolutely amazing story and it is incontrovertible proof there was
an audiotape
it backwards rails does not deny it
he said well you know
as being a wise
who won't have a setback but what are you sent
so what
across the world to talk to one of our top generals
with a very specific offer about his presidential campaign every which way
the president equity test that
louis or just being kind of sarcastic act had many questions to let you know
the clip and then let me get a break so this is katie mcfarland after she does a
interview with david picture as and by the way to go and what the stories about
what works for the washington post
upon the reasons under reported as a washington post actually put in the
style section
rabid anyone work along this is a passable unbelievable story about
politics let alone the media okay
so now uh... here's a piece of the tape and we read the whole tape earlier of on
t_v_ parliament talking to trace
and listen to what they say
i don't know if i ever ran
several hampering
factories are
at that
baroness recruit for
partly so young radicals
prepara
radio interviews never have have
it
enhances
fan
into your house
uh... anyday
white people english english way people they care to know if the think seven eca
so look he's she real already relayed the message
roger ailes is saying don't take the c_i_a_ *** if u offers you the joint
chiefs job that was earlier in the tape what we can understand how you would
take that okay
what we are urging him to do instead
is don't take any of it
dropout become the republican nominee nils will run the campaign for you
and then at one point is a little miss understanding in the middle of that tape
adventurous says and bankroll it
and then they awkwardly laugh
and and she says none of the big boss would bankroll rupert murdoch and he
says and maybe a confuse that with right now where i confuse that with murdoch is
apparently murdoch had reached out to early
so then
she says to be absolutely clear murdoch would bankroll it
bills would run your campaign and fox news would be your in-house
that to me is the most amazing for it it would be your in-house it we would be
your in-house okay
like take away from that is to fix me only but a lot of people were good foxes
with income work perpetrators if you were to win the white house monday
because for example he macfarlane has worked for all the republican
administrations before birthday
and they were will still be there in a house in the sense that
non-stop proper trace propaganda
and the word house there is an interesting you know use of worded said
that they would really be years
browse people but review well okay
look this is it may seem not just for the the the fact that it's the anymore
this part of our media and watch this claims to be fair and balanced and here
we have them
octane hatching a conspiracy
where they would literally one of the republican campaign
for president of the united states of america
but as also in terms of our politics but this is how things work and carl
bernstein wrote a terrific article in the guardian about this
mind dot
i mean etc etc he's like i'm dumbfounded that the rest of the media doesn't think
the saint john can tick story
don't watch the post wasn't always a little style section
pieces speaking up for his former colleague to me like this guy broker
great story
talk about the world
absolutely ed embarrassing as this one final point which i thought was
devastating it began nearly her funeral
he's like if there was the
an n_b_c_ reporter
going in talking to a democrat
and say hate eview drop out of the you know of being a general or whatever
maynard general
and n_b_c_ comcast achievable bankroll it for you the big boss twelve
and you know steep happens the head of the news for n_b_c_
will drop out and what your campaign
at the rest at the scene will be your in-house
now what kind of a scandal do you think that would be yeah
i'm curious it would be a huge hitler question on seriously when i guess you
know how naive i am still about american politics
how would he bankrolled
like i don't really wickham
literally so okay that's really interesting and i'm prepared to believe
it but
like what what let me first of all the images give two hundred fifty million
dollars to super back and then that would be that that was all that's a big
rapids advice but i think understand something
and even foxnews specifically newscorp that dependable gration
or traditional policy in a million dollars the republic of his association
and they've given two different candidates
so they're like me
you know
part is that not partisan who gives a damn builder would give money to
opponents let alone getting almost
you know at least half the republican candidates in the last election
concerts and from this election
contracts
million-dollar contracts to be their computers on erica but this is that the
pilot dot so i don't i really understand the appeal from roger ailes introvert
murdoch's when if you like
yet is is a dog in the hundred million dollars the mit romney have hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars
and and they'll given all the support the boxes can but they provide that for
the republicans anyway so thats so that's what's really interesting okay
because
this indicates that this was during the primaries republicans are alright right
in that ball park
they didn't know who the candidate was gonna be was a wide open field okay
so that this is
fox is saying about it when i say
it was never won
resolve he had no idea but they didn't like it they didn't let me know and they
say you know i don't like the first live change that equation right and the so
their gender in this case
i mean even lose the head of the network at foxnews right
they would invest all this money so thats
part of what makes a story so interesting
because the shows you that the religion of wants those
is not even profit
is is not even the ratings
their real agenda is
support the republican party and they thought the trades will be the best
candidate
that he could be present in the united states
now ultimately well that lead to more profit for news corp of murdoch has the
president of the united states in his back pocket of course that what so it's
all said oh gee it all works together but as far as fox news is concerned top
priorities cat
a republican elected and if we control and op that's even bat
and so this is exactly what they seem like they were about to any other
versions of the about roger ailes to it's not like a random thing right roger
ailes has run republican campaigns before he worked for richard nixon who
work for georgie should be butcher that's what do you get
so he would get back into that business in just switch hats and okay it was just
kidding about the news mark
and here i am back as a political operative
which is what he does the foxes anyway but it does in the subversive
uh... whatever the fascinating thing about my father you know who
portion of rhetoric of his campaign and that was here at was uh...
about his press secretary
active and m protocol themselves like he was terrify addict
mhm throughout this process net dot
di do not want that guy right now what that guy run
in hindsight
it almost would have been the best possible scenario
uh... first of all mean for is made out of wild on it because he
hard to imagine david phrase being
uh... toady for
those guys knowing that i have enough to applaud being conservative enough for
would do the things necessary that you with a horrible things you have to say
in that
horrible races you have to whip up in order to win a republican election
but will not red button one of the greatest because i was i was there are a
having the affair
is that recoverable much
uh... wealth maybe essex and wondered if there was come out before the lessons
you member
uh... before the two thousand four election the new york times soundness
amazing story
about how we hadn't been latin quarter inform aura
and rumsfeld
would not give the order to pursue of the city the actively turned down
a request by egypt u_s_ general in afghanistan decent do not pursue bin
laden and they said well we did while before the election chasm itin for
selection but u_f_o_ selection by not running that story right
so i wonder if it rains story would have broken before the election defeat padhne
i mean who knows trade
but i'll tell you
forget that that i think without the affair interest would have been
ledbetter delete it appears that you never know how it goes throughout the
campaign
but it appears would've been better care candidate than any of them
there are a long time to recover as i do not believe that at one time republican
operatives like madras leader
right now the question is would do would when you are being praises positions
like gloves
another isn't pro-choice
you know i mean i think that that's not that's not something we don't know that
understand why
like the milani was more electable than the other republicans too but that's
partly why he didn't inspired the base of that i think that the traces is
likely from what we do know or we don't know
to buy the same problem i would imagine mana but we don't know any ruptures your
assuming that he's not better
when these guys to do things yes yeah or that he would be
willing to pay
you know he problems is when italy but is that is that it's a good position
on on most every issue so they create
his position on shocking in one last thing on this look
patroness
in the military
is mit romney
he is agree c politician everybody in the military knows that and like you
might say he's done good service and he might have had a decent strategy in the
search which is
riddled with nonsense
if you ask me again but there's a legitimate debate facilities a good
general itself
the fact that he's political is
in probably well know
in fact he wrote his thesis was on image
npr and how p_r_ is more important than reality
and her and then he just did that his whole career
so could he have even if he had positions that were not amenable the
republican primaries
amended those positions such as they were not public
so that he did win the primary
that's exactly what the dr others holczer
