Reporter lester, good morning. The arm wrestling continues on capitol hill. The senate not done considering the package to keep the government open after passing the bill late last night. The bill did pass in the house late thursday, but only after coalition of democrats revolted against the president refusing to back the bill. Almost shutting down the government. Democrats dont like this bill because it scales back big Bank Regulations and increases the amount of political contributions that wealthy donors can make. After arm twisting and officials and democrats, ultimately got on board to narrowly pass the bill in the house. President obama on friday said the legislation represents compromise in the time of divided government. He noted this bill also Funds Health Care and immigration. Some many conservatives oppose.

So i will be home, itching and missing everyone and i cant believe it. Senior film and media reporter is here with me. Thanks for having me. If there is an upside to the chickenpox, she will not have to answer questions about the email hacks. It is so much worse for the people at sony. Lets look at amy pascal. Is the apology she put out enough . There are a lot of questions in hollywood about that. The question is what do you do to contain the damage here . Its on so many different fronts. It deals with internal information leaking and internal information about budgets and salaries and also the private correspondence of the top executives. It is like they are playing a Public Relations whackamole scenario. Can she keep her job through all of this . That has a lot of tongues wagging in hollywood. It is not clear if she will contain this damage. She was already in something of a vulnerable position because sony had just gone through a bruising fight with activists investor daniel lobe. Waves of layoffs. She was seen as an executive as vulnerable. This increases that vulnerability. You talk about the other things leaked. There were apparently last night a couple of shoots were canceled that were supposed to be done with sony because of issues with payroll related to the hacking scandal. Beyond amy pascal, how damaging is this to the studio . Cyber Security Experts say this clean up and trying to contain this issue costs tens of millions of dollars. Thats to say nothing about the kind of legal costs associated with it and the costs and damage to a brand that you then have to try to repair. So clearly all kinds of issues and at the same time, you are running a multinational studio and as you can see, this kind of digital disruption causing all kinds of other headaches. Talk about shifting the focus. Theres another part of the story that we have been talking about at nbc news, that is the discussion of what to actually put out in terms of information. At the end of the day, these emails however insensitive or damaging, were still hacked and they were essentially stolen. How did you come to that decision . That is how decision about where the line is and what should be published and what should remain private . An excellent question. This is new ethical terrain for a lot of the news organizations. The fact remains as journalists, we often get information that nobody wants us to see. Thats part of our job. In this case, we also dont want to be doing the work of the people who stole this information for them. Embarrassing officials at sony unnecessarily. The problem is when this information leaks, theres a broader public discussion thats taking place. We really have an obligation to our readers and to the public to, you know, be a mirror for that other discussion to engage with it and to also provide a journalistic framework and provide information that is fair and giving sony a chance to comment.
