Welcome back to on the -- on Jonathan -- times the daily biased actually that unwrapped and Arab talk radio Mussa is good to see you -- To see you well you know what sort of assume we been talking all about -- those drone strikes NBC news didn't get a hold of that Department of Justice.
Sixteen page you're saying that -- it is lawful to kill a US citizen if and -- high level.
Person of the government decides the target was a ranking al-Qaeda figure let me just say something I'm a live everybody knows that.
But if this can be -- under President Bush.
This would have been the front page of the New York Times the Washington Post.
Everybody would have gone nuts on this it's still story NBC news did get it.
But it is nowhere to be seen in terms on a major major major story fox is doing net.
But had this again been under President Bush it would and that received a very different response and that's part one of my advice -- and -- of Salem.
Not one for the moment Alan because isn't it the case that the reverse is also true.
That this going on there under the previous administration.
Nobody would have been on the right people what is said Dick Cheney can do what he wants certain.
Did you toy I -- -- -- send my throat finally.
That -- but but.
Yes and and I'm not doubting that people might have said that kind of thing from the right.
I'm just taking a look at mainstream press here because.
You know you do have ACLU you do have right -- -- but let's look at the mainstay in the things that people really watch pay attention to.
They are not make -- a big deal all right NBC news did because they got the leak but okay.
All right okay -- -- -- -- I'm a part two is Nate Silver you know he's our guy from the New York time -- -- yes let's just explain Nate -- to lobby was named Silva is the extraordinary -- statistician.
Pollster who was combining all of these polls in his own research in the run up to the election.
And was saying pretty much throughout this 80% 90% 90% -- President Obama is going to wade in and -- it's still left.
Among all the pollsters was by far the most accurate as he tonight what are you so what do you make of -- My view is is that he is he's got a little arrogant over there -- -- after he did that has a lot of people do when they're right or when they got a lot of media exposure.
And now there isn't much word about the fact that he failed to use those stay statistics.
In predicting the Super Bowl and the plays and all of that he was off.
Miserably.
Quiet on the mainstream media.
Wouldn't wish it would instead say I missed a lot of that -- for some reason I didn't have you ordeal up what did what did he miss exactly.
He missed the Super Bowl predictions -- I'll -- come and play.
Oh Nate.
OD arrow dia the -- is coming off -- Silva that haven't really is being very.
Well -- -- wouldn't -- that was considered slightly less important than the presidential election -- I understand but America does a lot riding on that super ball yeah that's a -- that's a very good I stabbed by Nate -- I think he is a very very talented Matta -- it's great we don't need to even bother with -- campaigning into -- six to sixteen.
We just let Nate Silver crunch the numbers tell us -- the -- is going to be and then we can all just kind of.
Now happening -- last summer until election comes along may be let's make sure that he keeps on that out of that you should either not had done -- Super Bowl predictions or is got to get his numbers a little better all right.
