Follow the information if it is as it happens. When, What, Why, and Where? And not just a bunch of made up U.S. government TV Media bull talk.

Tinker

Good journalism was reporting what the American politicians did in the dark away from the innocent eyes of the American people. A good investigating reporter was the eyes and ears of the honest American people.

Good reporting however is not what the American people are receiving from the American television journals in today's United States of America. The American people are getting a lot of Government journalism from unidentifiable sources, that are nothing more then secret friends to the news media working in Washington DC. The American TV networks are the people doing what the government politicians want them to report. The American people are getting played as television consumer chumps, day in, and day out.

I think that it is about time that the American people also hold the American TV news media accountable to a higher standard of reporting. Just as well as the American people demand that the politicians working in the United States government do their job in a more honest way.

I mean good grief just how bad is the people working in the United States government going to get. The NSA is spying on everything that the Americans citizens are doing in private all over the place. That kind of lowlife U.S. Government abuse must be stopped now.

Reporter who published NSA secrets a fair media target?


Published June 29, 2013 | Fox News Watch | Jon Scott
With: Joe Concha, Jim Pinkerton, Judy Miller, Ellen Ratner, Richard Grenell
This is a rush transcript from "Fox News Watch," June 29, 2013. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JON SCOTT, HOST: On "Fox News Watch."

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I'm not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker.
SCOTT: The president displays his hands-off attitude regarding Edward Snowden, the man wanted for espionage charged with stealing U.S. secrets. The story getting major media attention, but is it enough?

DAVID GREGORY, NBC NEWS ANCHOR: Why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?

SCOTT: Media takes shots at Glenn Greenwald. The journalist who reported the NSA secrets. Is he a fair target for the press? Or is there an agenda at work?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A monumental decision by the Supreme Court.

SCOTT: Big news from the highest court. The media reacts to key decisions on voting rights and then gay marriage.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If you haven't been to a gay bar, you have to go to one ...

PAULA DEEN: I is what I is.

SCOTT: Celebrity chef Paula Deen fights accusations of being a racist. Are the media behind the smear?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Knock, knock. Who is there?

SCOTT: The George Zimmerman murder trail gets off to a questionable start. Then gets more interesting. The media go wall to wall with the coverage. But is all the attention adding to a racial divide?

And a tip on how to protect yourself from government spying.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SCOTT: On the panel this week, writer and Fox News contributor Judy Miller. Mediaite columnist Joe Concha, Jim Pinkerton, contributing editor of the American Conservative Magazine, Ellen Ratner, talk radio news service bureau chief. And Fox News contributor Richard Grenell. I'm Jon Scott. "Fox News Watch" is on right now.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAVID GREGORY, NBC NEWS: To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden, and even in his current movements, why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?

GLENN GREENWALD, THE GUARDIAN: I think it's pretty extraordinary that anybody who would call themselves a journalist would publicly muse about whether or not other journalists should be charged with felony. The assumption in your question, David, is completely without evidence, the idea that I've aided and abetted him in any way. This scandal that arose in Washington before our stories began was about the fact that the Obama administration is trying to criminalize investigative journalism by going through the emails and phone records of AP reporters, accusing a Fox News journalist, the theory that you just embraced, being a co-conspirator with felonies, for working with sources.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SCOTT: NBC's David Gregory seemed not quite ready for Glenn Greenwald's answer to that question about his reporting on NSA's spying. Greenwald didn't stop there. After the program, he tweeted this. "Who needs the government to try to criminalize journalism when you have David Gregory to do it?" Journalist Frank Rich came to Greenwald's defense with this. "Is David Gregory a journalist? As a thought experiment, name one piece of news he has broken, one beat he's covered with distinction, and any memorable interviews he has conducted. His charge is preposterous. As a columnist who published Edward Snowden's leaks, Greenwald was doing the job of a journalist and the fact that he is an activist journalist is irrelevant to that journalistic function."

So, Jim, when you think about Greenwald's line of questioning or Gregory's line of questioning Greenwald, was it out of line?

JIM PINKERTON, THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MAGAZINE: I think the question did have -- when did you stop beating your wife, tone to it. But look, whatever you think of Greenwald ideologically, he definitely merits now a place in the talking head hall of fame for the greatest smackdown of a questioner since Joe Louis knocked out Max Schmeling in back in the '30s.

SCOTT: Lots of nodding heads on the panel, I might add.

JUDY MILLER, WRITER & FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Yes.

SCOTT: All right, Judy is one of them.

MILLER: Nodding because -- this is what this fight has been all about. That is the effort by some people who want to go after leakers to criminalize them and criminalize us for helping them. So, by formulating the question in the way that he did, he played right into the hands of the government. Glenn Greenwald is an advocacy journalist. That does not mean he is not a journalist. And you can do more than say -- the gray house is on the street. And be a journalist.

JOE CONCHA, MEDIAITE.COM COLUMNIST: If I'm a producer, an executive producer, I run a network. I want Glenn Greenwald exclusively. If I'm CNN, Fox ...
(LAUGHTER)

CONCHA: ... MSNBC, sign this guy now. He has got three things that every producer, every anchor like you loves. He is candid, all right. He is conversational. And he is confrontational. So for him to land a kidney punch, like he did with David Gregory and then for Frank Rich, who wasn't going to be invite to CPAC anytime soon, you know, laying that right cloth later in the week. It was a bad week for the host of "Meet the Press."

SCOTT: You can add quick. He is quick, too.

ELLEN RATNER, BUREAU CHIEF OF TALK RADIO NEWS SERVICE: Well, you know, and he didn't stop there. He was interviewed by Erik Wemple of The Washington Post and he went after a CNBC's Andrew Sorkin, he is saying he called the beltway establishment media click. I mean he did not stop. It's gift that keeps giving.

SCOTT: Rick, Greenwald has been accused of carrying water for President Obama. There was a big piece in the New York Daily News that looked into his, you know, history, his financial affairs. Tax problems, that kind of thing. Why has he become the story here?

RICHARD GRENELL, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, I think it is true. I think he is a big apologist for Obama. But, you know, I can comfortably and I think a lot of people can comfortably defend what Greenwald is doing, which is acting like a real journalist, bifurcating him from Snowden who clearly committed a crime. And so I wouldn't want to go after Greenwald. I want to go after Snowden. You know, exactly what Glenn said to David Gregory, it really applies to Jake Tapper and all of these other media types. It's an entrenched system in Washington where you have to ask permission to do things. Really, what they were saying is how dare you leak to an unapproved journalist because we are approved.

SCOTT: Yeah. And my producer points out -- I meant to say, Gregory has been accused of carrying water for the Obama administration. Not ...

MILLER: Right. But all this has done is changed the subject. We are not talking about the leaks and the implications of the leaks.

SCOTT: So, Greenwald also tweeted this. "Has David Gregory ever publicly wondered if powerful D.C. officials should be prosecuted for things like illegal spying and lying to Congress?" And it is a valid question.

PINKERTON: Right. And it is worth noting, again, that -- how the conversations carrying on for a week now on Twitter. I mean this is - this is now the -- the -- battlefield and -- Greenwald not only clocked Gregory on the show, but is continuing to win in the Twitter-sphere. Twitter- sphere.

Outback Bowl - Buy Tickets (LSU vs. Iowa)
LSU to Face Iowa in Jan. 1 Outback Bowl

BATON ROUGE -- For the first time in 25 years, the LSU football team will play in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla. The Tigers will face Iowa of the Big Ten Conference in Raymond James Stadium live on ESPN on Jan. 1, 2014.

Prior to Outback Steakhouse's title sponsorship, LSU played in the Hall of Fame Bowl in Tampa Stadium following the 1988 season.

LSU (9-3, 5-3 SEC), which handed SEC Champion Auburn its only loss of the regular season, will face an Iowa team (8-4, 5-3 Big Ten) which won its last three games of the season over Nebraska, Michigan and Purdue.

The Tigers and Hawkeyes have met only once on the gridiron - the 2005 Capital One Bowl in Orlando - and Iowa won on a last-second touchdown pass, 30-25.
Tickets in LSU's sections of the stadium start at $80. To order, visit LSUtix.net or call the LSU Athletics Ticket Office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

In Outback Bowl:
0-1 (then Hall of Fame Bowl; Jan. 2, 1989; lost to Syracuse, 23-10)
vs. Iowa: 0-1 (lost 30-25 in 2005 Capital One Bowl | Box Score)
LSU holds a 22-21-1 all-time record in bowls yet has lost consecutive games for the first time since 1985-86 seasons.

The Tigers will play on New Years Day for the 23rd time in school history, and will meet a Big Ten opponent in a postseason bowl for the fifth time, all since the 2001 season.

Following its dramatic comeback over Arkansas, it was announced that senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger would miss the bowl game with a knee injury. True freshman Anthony Jennings, who led the Tigers on a 99-yard game-winning drive against the Razorbacks, is expected to make his first start.
Jennings capped the comeback with a 49-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Travin Dural with 75 seconds to play.

LSU running back Jeremy Hill led the Tigers with 1,185 yards on the ground with 14 touchdowns, while Terrence Magee added 614 yards and eight scores.
The Tigers receiving duo of Jarvis Landry (75 catches for 1,172 yards) and Odell Beckham Jr. (57 catches, 1,117 yards) became the first at LSU to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving in the same season.

 LSU Vice-Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva
“First of all, thanks to (President/CEO) Jim McVay and the Outback Bowl for selecting LSU to represent the SEC in this prestigious game. We are excited about the opportunity to bring the LSU football program and our tremendous fan base to Tampa for the Outback Bowl for this New Year’s Day game. This will be a great week for LSU in Tampa and we encourage our fans to buy tickets and come be a part of LSU’s first trip to Tampa for a bowl game in 25 years.”

In the lower-tier games, you have two Louisiana teams -- UL Lafayette and Tulane -- playing in what should be a fun New Orleans Bowl to kick things off. Notre Dame and Rutgers will square off in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in a game that the Irish will be expected to win handily.

The BCS picture looks quite enjoyable, with the only foreseeable mismatch coming in the Fiesta Bowl, as George O'Leary's UCF will try and hang with the explosive Baylor Bears. Stanford will try and make it two straight Rose Bowl wins as they take on Michigan State in a game that everyone expects to be low-scoring (so, naturally, the points will pile up), while losses for Alabama and Ohio State mean the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl get some good match-ups.
Hey, we finally joined Facebook!
The main event, of course, is the national title game, where Florida State will get the chance to test their mettle against Auburn, who is looking more and more like a team of destiny. Both teams have seen high-scoring totals from their offenses, but Florida State's balanced attack and tremendous defense could make the difference.

FIRST QUARTER

Panthers 3, Saints 0
Score: Graham Gano 45-yard field goal. Time remaining: 8:42. Time of possession: 6:18. Drive: 13 plays, 53 yards. Key play: The Panthers had converted three times on third down. But the Saints slowed Carolina down on its fourth third-down try as Junior Galette wrestled Cam Newton down for a 6-yard sack, forcing the field-goal attempt.
Panthers 6, Saints 0

Score: Gano 24-yard field goal. Time remaining: 1:56. Time of possession: 5:12. Drive: nine plays, 26 yards. Key play: Ted Ginn Jr. jump-started the drive by eluding several tacklers on a punt return with a 32-yard scamper. Punter Thomas Morstead may have saved a touchdown, but yanked on Ginn's facemask to tack on 15 more yards.

SECOND QUARTER

Saints 7, Panthers 6
Score: Marques Colston 6-yard pass from Drew Brees. Garrett Hartley kick. Time remaining: 13:35. Time of possession: 3:21. Drive: nine plays, 80 yards. Key play: It's been a little while since Darren Sproles has pulled off one of his shifty runs. He broke off a 38-yard gain along the Saints' sideline and faked Carolina safety Mike Mitchell for extra yardage.
Saints 14, Panthers 6

Score: Colston 15-yard pass from Brees. Hartley kick. Time remaining: 2:44. Time of possession: 5:44. Drive: 11 plays, 86 yards. Key play: Running back Khiry Robinson took a pitch on third-and-2 from Carolina's 15 and for a 6-yard gain.
Saints 21, Panthers 6

Score: Jimmy Graham 5-yard pass from Brees. Hartley kick. Time remaining: 0:18. Time of possession: 1:43. Drive: seven plays, 76 yards. Key play: The Saints were in two-minute drill mode and Lance Moore started it off perfectly by snagging a 21-yard reception to open the drive.

THIRD QUARTER

Saints 24, Panthers 6
Score: Hartley 19-yard field goal. Time remaining: 4:18. Time of possession: 6:01. Drive: 13 plays, 60 yards. Key play: Colston appeared to have hauled in his third TD catch, but the play was overturned, leaving the Saints with first-and-goal from Carolina's 1. The Saints couldn't punch it in the end zone and settled for a field goal.

FOURTH QUARTER

Saints 31, Panthers 6
Score: Graham 8-yard pass from Brees. Hartley kick. Time remaining: 9:52. Time of possession: 3:46. Drive: eight plays, 58 yards. Key play: Graham showed muscle one play before his TD grab. Brees found him for a 22-yard reception on third-and-6 from the Panthers' 30 and Graham ran through a couple of Panthers to set up his scoring catch.
Saints 31, Panthers 13

Score: Steve Smith 17-yard pass from Cam Newton. Gano kick. Time remaining: 5:15. Time of possession: 4:37. Drive: 11 plays, 61 yards. Key play: Newton scrambled for 15 yards on third-and-3 from the Saints' 19.
