Description

A good-tempered discussion, but one which in substance is often scathing about the participants' profession. EK: "I do believe that there is a double standard, and that the media is far more partial to the Democrats in a laudatory way. I'm a Democrat and I'm voting for Clinton, but facts are facts." ... WFB: "Mr. Klein, let me ask you this after your years of association with Newsweek: Does a magazine of that size and scope attempt to elaborate a line, or it is completely atomistic in the sense that you write what you want to write, and he writes what he wants to write, etc., and then a line sort of gestates?" JK: "There is a line. It has nothing to do with ideology, though. It has everything to do with total bias in favor of the good story. If this is the golden age of anything it is the golden age of marketing, and we are in a fierce, fierce competitive environment."
