I do -- -- told you about the daily by aspects though Allen.

I'm okay restoration act everything the media -- leading the White House spin if there is such a thing on this as well you don't realize heckling and anything.

And this weren't put on a different hat my -- -- -- And basically them and that media support and -- is supported the president after Woodward went after him.

But then defended Woodward after he went after.

President Bush when he attacked President Bush -- -- our own Dana Perino actually pointed that out and she ought to know she's have been around for all that kind of thing.

But -- now the question is with so that's served one piece of this -- What happened with the sequestration with what we're.

The second piece.

Is what happened.

With the secretary of education Duncan.

And that the secretary of homeland security and a -- time now.

Whether they overstayed and this is one.

TJ and I -- talking about when -- they overstated the impact of sequestration.

The jury is out on -- but instead of making some -- on the you know shortness is showing -- signs the media.

Has been so nineteen articles I think towards one side never good you know want to talk radio news IMO a liberal lefty whack -- And my my deputy is it right Winger and the reason we do that is so that we can made sure.

-- we try and really talk about all stories stores and now.

TJ wouldn't let anything they did.

Hold issues sequestration is being echoed by the -- I don't think the liberal -- I was right.

Not I I I think that yes it has been.

Slant that I'd like I I really do get this is one of those times with a rubber hits the road.

When it -- when you get concerned about the media advocate abdicating its responsibility.

For being really dared to inform.

Wanted to see they in the White House and that its minions like Duncan and upon a time out to disseminate the message and then I have the and then have the media act as a stenographer pool and deliver.

What they're being told to deliver it it does give me pause because again -- not just overstating they're they're literally making stuff up it's it's it's.

All right hyperbole -- what do you.

Well the last word is I just wish that people would start to talk to real people.

And getting a real impact hasn't happened greens are like Ellen Ratner bureau chief of told radio new service and a necklace -- that -- today.
