that vote. i'll ask you a process question, when you filed that last night, would you have expected it to be reversed by tonight? >> not at all. i do not expect there to be that kind of a turnaround the extent of outrage was surprising and extraordinary, the mobilization of phone calls and i have to say that, i mean, i reported this before it was probably announced but there were quite a number of other reporters working on it and publishing on it yesterday as well so i don't want to -- there were a number of reporters who worked on the federal holiday to make sure the public knew about this. >> hey, man, i work on television where there's one person in front of the camera and hundreds more all working throughout the building so i know what you mean, appreciate but, yes, many investigative reports are on this. having said that, it looks like the "new york times" piece sparked incredible reaction. what do you make of what that tells us about where the lines are in this era.
