>>. >> jon: 2016, obamas measuring is the second highest grossing documentary of all time. its a gripping visual journey in the heart. worlds most powerful office. it asks the question, if obama wins a second term where will we be in 2016? this film is not getting much attention from the mainstream media. the director had this to say what he believed is the biased press. if mitt romney had a half-brother living in a slum it would be on topic on msnbc, cbs news and all the sunday talk shows but t...

Republicans very worried about it. some private polls show as much as an eight-point presidential advantage in ohio. its not that much, but that tells you whats in the mind of republican media buyers or republican strategists. theyre panicked about ohio, they think that more and more news organizations are going to move ohio to lean obama -- the consequences of that are dramatic. >> you know, last night, willie, a lot of -- not a lot, but some conservative outlets were suggesting that some of th...

Dirt -- >> youre saying with this guy i know what my taxes are. with you, i dont even know whats going to happen. thats not going to fly for people. >> its amazing, all people that we quoted here, were republicans or conservatives or conservative outlets, the ones yelling at mitt romney. the question is, can he make a pivot in the time that hes been allotted? he is going to have to -- >> not a lot of time left. >> spent a lot of time being the warshack candidate. he wasnt that worried about the ...

Said there was no for it on the convention floor and so clearly its part of a larger pattern for her. >> it was awkward trying to watch her wiggle out of that one. was there a lack of accountability elsewhere in the mainstream media not calling her to task and said on special report, more papers ap outlets ought to stand up for you and report this story, why arent there? >> i mean, "the washington post" gave her four pinochios and political fact, pants on fire and hasnt been a lot on the widespr...

In the campaign would like. at the same time the first lady, michelle obama, the role she is playing in that campaign is quite interesting. theyre using her in a very different way, putting her on television programs and in outlets and places we dont always see first ladies and its a larger strategy to make sure that, again, the messages of 2008 are brought back to a different audience. >> can i ask quickly about the last guide that breaks down by blocks and states and asks who will win. do you ...

Somehow identified with this mission, gave $100,000 to media matters. media matters took that money and regularly attacked fox news just for discussing teacher union issues. its kind of a remarkable way to get at this issue and the media matters is a group thats very close to the white house. very close to many media organizations that will take work that media matters does and put it on their web sites. and in their news publication. so this is a very serious thing thats going on in the nationa...

Lets get back to the 999 plan. is that a coded message? >> yes. im so sick of this racial coded baloney. they not only are taking black people for granted by taking the black vote for granted. but they are keeping black conservative faces away from the general public of what some of the liberals outlets do. now to tell people to look for racially coded messages is baloney. the reason is because they have three tactics. s-i-n. they shift the subject over to all of these distraction. they ignore t...
