But today, I have the feeling that if I look at the Post in New York or the New York Times, I'm looking at two different worlds.

And there's something wrong with that.

Did you have to deliver it on Sunday as well?

I think people have pointed out the correct reason for that.

The end of the classified ads.

They used to have to satisfy the people paying for ads.

Now they have to satisfy their readers.

And so the readers only want to hear one thing.

Yeah.

It would be fine if the newspapers took different positions but covered the same items.

And here –

I will say, and maybe there's a bias in this, if I listen to MSNBC, there are whole areas of what's going on that I will hear nothing about.

Fox may cover things differently, but they are less guilty of leaving stuff out.

They may take a different view of it, but you'll hear about it.

That certain media now are not even mentioning things that they don't want you to know about is a little bit disturbing.

But it's also the abuse of science is too much of a temptation for politicians.

I mean, science, it's hard to say, but if there's a way of making people understand that science really is not a source of authority.

It's a methodology.

And that if you are using it as a source of authority and destroying it as a methodology,

You're anti-science.
