And now to your lineup for our bias that's first first let me ask you about the picture of Paul Ryan that you well this -- it -- sort of.

I think kind of hilarious as was Thursday's.

New York Times and this little figure down there is is -- -- and these.

I -- my faction that picture no Italy apparently it's not -- -- people so much taller than him.

Beats me you know I can't either venue where they live there that's what I -- whoever sent it it's.

-- look at the pictures worth a thousand words if we think that that these -- has made this is above the fold these old fashioned term for print newspapers and there is a little tiny Paul Ryan surrounded by dark figures.

You know symbolically sort of that the Coke Brothers I've had been there you know and and Karl Rove and you know -- Nielsen.

And I mean it is is just so loaded to do the lives of the color of the everything the colors real color was a backdrop -- -- -- -- -- have been blue just to be on the safe side written anywhere by contrast.

This is the Washington Post yesterday this is just a nice family picture of this Brian Stanley in his normal kids and everything.

And so limited in this case I think the -- post played it straight this is a picture of what looks like when you're speaking -- -- and it and it basking applause afterwards.

And this -- when they don't like you.

They run you -- like this.

It's an excerpt from the screw tape letters or something -- like this and -- mean lest anybody think I'm over reading pictures today's editorial in the -- times.

The headline mr.

Romney invent -- history that goes on about how the truth of -- -- seen in Tampa and so on so I think the near -- -- making a clear editorial choice.

You know vote for Obama not -- It does look a little -- passes in there in the -- of -- at the war -- sure overall impression now the pressure on the Democrats.

At their convention.

Will they have a Clint Eastwood type will there be humor will they mostly talk about the record that they feel they've established.

Will they say they'll be a change of.

I think some talk about the record date they've used to establish so talk about the play everything on bush sets then there's they're still up ordered that sure they've been they've been doing whether or not stop now does this -- -- -- -- -- and the polls show.

Are people still blame bush for the economy coming out of -- that they think -- and a good job of fixing it they just mean that if you ask them where it is almost trouble come from the in the polls show pretty strongly at -- this field.

As a tactic that -- at the bush.

I think.

The Clint -- experience -- virus that plan in the Democratic Convention I would not looking to replicate that I can on them and that I -- when it didn't work.

No I don't think so I don't think -- I don't think it was.

And net additions to -- with a message I mean.

You always attack political campaign from being scripted and choreographed and everything well there's a reason they -- inquiry there.

That's because when you go off message and beer around and you wind up with as you said.

He's -- I don't think we -- -- lawyer.

Because he has every knows Obama of the lawyer -- think -- know that and -- -- and that's people no reasons to think.

And finally -- businessman they also know as is getting his MBA is also getting a -- Not easy thing to do at Harvard as I know he's in -- -- -- Smart guy but you just.

Don't wanna leave things to chance is just too much pressure going on things like that so I think that yet at the Democrats do have an unscripted thing -- be very scripted.

What role will the liberal media play in bashing the RNC.

At the time that the Democratic Convention is going on to our.

I think that.

The narrative that they are building.

On the Romney Ryan Pickett is that.

If the media were and I point to Jay Rosen and NYU or Jim -- of the Atlantic.

Its name to -- -- yesterday in the liberal -- the media liberal or not do your job when in their present as they tell call Bryant a liar.

-- pond in the Janesville plant in -- -- you must you must you must otherwise if you don't.

Call Ryan a liar like we want to do then we will clobber you -- figures that the use of student media -- here.

Trying to Paramount's and so on and so the question is can the last.

Media critique.

Symphony.

You know NYU and Columbia all the other journals and establishment you know few senators and -- -- but can they force.

The the Washington Post near times in the networks and everybody else to really really pile on -- and and then there's certainly they're trying.

And we're gonna watch we're now talking about it again Jim Pederson who came back from the convention just to be here we appreciate so much that you'll also be on news watch and I -- we're taping his contract and OK I didn't think it was just for -- but it's great to have you here Jim thank you so much thank you --
