Called the "washington post" and i'm online so we have the web traffic. i think that in the period before we had such good information about who was reading us, i think there's a desire to think we would all be better if we didn't know and i think we were worse. it's better for us to know how to reach people because when you don't need that, when you don't have that spur, when you don't have to know, people don't really read you, they don't read to the bottom of the article. you're losing them. you lose the incentive that forc you to write for your audience. you can take ratings and take them ...

Is trying to tap into something. which is the urgency that a lot of people have on the republican and conservative side, to get rid of the president. romney doesn't tap into that as well. if he loses michigan, that will be the reason as much as anything else. >> so it's not gotcha journalism, it's just god-fearing, right winged politics. >> you have to give him points for being who he is. >> don't think rick santorum is an idiot. just consider him a right-wing ideologue who is going to say what he is. we're not used to that anymore. politicians who say what they are even when they are so far r...

[ speaking foreign language ] >> syrian troops, they're apparently taking aim on the people of homs. looking at this video one day after the syrian ambassador to the united nations said there's no armed conflict in syria. you can hear one of the men saying over the radio, the situation is good. as with almost all of the video coming out of syria, cnn cannot independently confirm what it appears to show. much more on the video and the story it tells ahead. the arrest, court appearance, and charges against a 29-year-old man accused of planning a suicide b...
