  • The clip is taken out of context. From what I can gather, her use of the word "exogenous" could be the correct word in this instance.

  • OOPS! My mistake! It was NPR's Nina Totenberg who talked about God giving Senator Jesse Helms AIDS.

  • Wasn't it this same woman who talked about how a certain tv preacher's relatives would all get a certain disease and die? Or was it another NPR personality?

  • see ,, everytime they try to act smart they screw it up.. stay simple and stay stupid is what they should stick to

  • I didn't know what exogenous (sp?) meant either.

  • I am glad she called him out on it!

    I wonder if FoXNews "dumbs" itself down to appear "relatable" to its viewership. When in fact, many of their anchors are, what they term, "eastern Elitists." I mean, seriously, are they outsourcing their intelligence to play into the Populist thingie?

  • to this day, i can't figure out if this broad is a schoolmarm or a sexy vixen. she was probably a looker in her prime. at any rate, i continue to tolerate her rationalizations

  • Ok, I don't have sound on this computer so what was the word she said?

  • Having heard her voice for so many years her face doesn't match.

  • @hyperborealoperator, are you that ignorant? he wasn't born in Kenya?

  • Mara is friggin' HOT!

  • @leonbrain68 Agree! I'm a conservative but Mara has a look that does it for me. Like her  :)

  • More like the dumb guy simply didn't understand the word, or he was playing dumb to appeal for unity with the retards that watch this pathetic channel, HA!

  • Chris Wallace Win

  • Mara Liasson Fail

  • Mara Liasson busted in spy ring. Read about it on Rumor Slut.

  • It was the right word. Mis-labeling this video "M.L. uses the wrong fancy word" is a display of ignorance. Are Fox watchers proud of their ignorance?

  • What a Joke. . .

  • Mara Liasson someone needs to stick a DILDO in her mouth to SHUT HER A S S UP...hopefully she will chock on it.

  • Mara Liasson keeps her pubes trimmed.

  • Break it down people.

    Exo = outer

    Genous = production

    Exogenous = From or produced outside.

  • o_o

  • I think that a lot of the comments do not get the gist of this clip. The intent is to demonstrate the unprofessional behavior of Fox "News".

    TidalWaveRider makes a good point.

  • @phendformyself Tell me, what is "news" to you? Because if you think FOX is the only "not news" "new" you are in a whole heap of trouble my friend.

  • @mtb416 Oh wow! You"re a genius (sarcasm)! Did you study a course that helped you come to that conclusion all on your own? Holy moly!

    Yeah hi, the adults are talking here. I have provided you a link to something a little more up your alley. XD

    nick.com

  • @phendformyself That's your response?

  • ummm, as a user of esoteric english words myself, how was she wrong using exogenous? the context was right.

  • @SoCal4LifeSD No, she got it right. That's the point. Some Fox News fan got all excited because they THOUGHT she used the wrong word, because one of the FOx anchors giggled about it. He just looked stupid, however, which the video poster completely misunderstood, the poor thing.

  • Mara has an "alien" look about her...I've always picked up on that sirs...

  • I can't believe there are so many comments on this. For crying out loud, you don't need to take political sides on this - She said the right word, but it was just one that sounded like another. I can say BIC and sound like Dick. Is BIC the wrong word? No. Doesn't matter if your pro or anti liberal, she used the right word, but with the wrong crowd.

  • What is the point of this YouTube? Why are Fox News people playing stupid? To lamely try to prove they are just "one of the people"? Nonsense.

    Fox News---bless 'em, it's a free country and the other side should be heard---but they are really nutty.

  • you're right. Fox is nutty. they donate to NPR.

  • why is it wrong?

  • Fox panders to the ignorant & easily manipulated. The OP actually thinks he's making a point-- "that woman has the hots for Obama." But if he'd take time to look up the word exogenous he'd be embarrassed. By employing tactics like labeling people "liberal elite" Fox asks for willful ignorance / stupidity. Fox implies that it's better to misunderstand big words than to know them. Why? Because information is power, and leads to intelligence and freedom. Fox wants stupid people it can control.

  • That's the same gal on NPR?

  • Yes one in the same, and the same who's intelligence dwarfed the two little FOX boys on air.

  • I listen NPR a lot. She's cool

  • @kakompo NPR pays almost nothing, so you kinda forgive her for getting the extra income to put the kids through college or whatever, even as sleazoid as Fox news is.

  • Leave this clip up! It shows the mind set of the average fauxnews anchor.When faced with unfathomable intelligence they allow their erogenous zones to do their thinking.

  • I thought that he said that she was using the word erogenous...

  • Exogenous- Beginning outside

  • Exogenous is the correct word. She's right on this one.

  • Yeah, I'm no fan of Mara Liasson, but whoever put this video up should take it down. Exogenous was absolutely the right word. Dude -- she even defined it for you IN THE CLIP! Didn't you even watch your own clip?

    I love TPM-TV, but please take this down. And hire some kind of Youtube equivalent of a copy editor that can catch this stuff before you post it.

  • How does exogenous not make sense here?

  • It makes perfect sense. Obviously, whoever put up this video is an illiterate boob.

  • i love her

  • if ur like fifty years old and are in politics you should have been around long enough to know what exogenous means. it's not a very uncommon word.  u should be able to figure it out by the root. ex- means outside (the opposite of in-)

  • Essentially, what everyone is saying is "Words that many people don't know, shouldn't be used because they're not reduced to the simplest, most convenient form. Have you read 1984? Do you know the theory behind the development of "Newspeak"?

    Y'all can talk about how big words are the hallmark of pretentious elitists, but everytime you hate on big words, you cast a vote for Big Brother. Which is truly the greater crime? Read a book, America.

  • @alamosa82 Yay! I vote for literacy!

  • Ur a bloody nut. Quit feelin like a victim and callin everybody else sheep and take ur bloody pills, Or at least air out the tinfoil hat.

  • Exogynous?

  • Exogenous

  • oh Mara, you're never going to be Fox News's favorite token liberal if you keep using those big NPR words!

  • I am glad she busted out that word "exogenous". How else are you Americans supposed to expand your vocabulary?

  • What does expand mean?

  • lol

  • @badger5079 RIght you are.

  • @badger5079 fucking ey, we're some dumb mother fuckers we are

  • @badger5079 Don't judge us based on Faux News. They're about as ignorant as it gets. For them 2 + 2 doesn't equal 5; they're still trying to figure out what the "+" means.

  • @Ematched hilarious

  • Will the creator of this video please enlighten me as to why "exogenous" is the wrong "fancy word"?

  • yeah i agree, the person is obviously not a reader although i ahve never heard that word its like hey not words longer than six letters becasue our watchers are idiots and it confuses them, also i believe she uses it in the right context, due to the fact they call it a fancy words spells their idiocy, no pun intended

  • Exogenous is used all the time in political science, economics, and just about any other social science.

  • Intelligence and knowledge are two different things. Only very ignorant people try to show their intelligence by using long words.

    Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. It's true.

  • "ONLY very ignorant people..."...Wow: inaccurate, untrue, maybe they're showing off, but "long words,"...!?

    Get a vocabulary book EGarrett, "exogenous" is not a long, fancy, or unusual word. Please, get give yourself an education before you mouth off.

  • In other words, you're a very insecure person who thinks trying to show off a large vocabulary will make others think highly of you. I can tell by the way you lash out at the mere suggestion that it's just ignorance.

    The purpose of words is to communicate. Not to try to make other people think your'e smart. The real smart people know this. The phony ones don't, and get very angry when a mirror is held up to them.

    But if you want to compare intelligence credentials, we can do that also.

  • A large vocabulary gives you flexibility in communication. Why blame people for using words within their vocabulary? I agree that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication but sometimes simplicity is achieved through using the right "big word" instead of using 3 other more common words.

    And yes, exogenous is a very commonly used word in some circles.

  • Communication is a two-way process. For it work smoothly, the words used should have the same meaning to both people. If you use obscure or uncommon words, even if YOU have an idea what they mean, the other person may have a different idea.

    The best communication comes from using the words that are commonly understood. And the purpose of words is to communicate.

  • Yes, but the difficulty of words is completely relative. Some people are more educated than others. Of course you should pick the right word for the audience. This lady is commentating on TV; does that mean she should use the lowest common denominator? Should we blame somebody for not understanding or somebody for using something that they understand? Obviously, there is a middle way but I support those who don't understand to consult a dictionary and not mock others for being elitist.

  • If someone uses language to try to build their reputation or self-esteem by an ignorant attempt to seem smart, then yes they deserve to be mocked for their arrogance and ignorance.

    If you think speaking clearly in common words is talking to the "lowest common denominator," then you don't know much about communication. Nobel prize-winning theories can be described plainly and clearly.

    Would you like me to avalanche you with quotes from Da Vinci-level geniuses that echo what I'm telling you?

  • Comment removed

  • Of course you are right EGarret. But Mara is so hot when she says exogenous!

  • I think the creator is saying it's "wrong" because it isn't the other pundits vocabulary

  • I doubt it. There are no hints of sarcasm in the title. If you don't know what "exogenous" means, that means you never read a political science paper in your life (or, at leas,t understood one) and therefore do not qualify to be called a political pundit.

  • Mara is the ugliest person on Fox News. She should be on CNN with all the other dogs! Every other person on Fox is beautiful, other than Mara and that Kirsten Powers girl.

  • mara liaison is sexy, i like her eyes;)

    why does no one talk about the privately owned FEDERAL RESERVE? they call a lot of the shots and planned the economic collapse!

  • She KNEW what it sounded like and got a cheap thrill using the word. A pathetic,repressed woman giving herself a cheap thrill on national TV..

  • that crazy lady subtly "agreed" thaT Obama had the lead, but then suggests a foreign policy crisis that would "change the balance". Mindless conservative broad!

  • i find her comments to be iviliorious and colpedulative indeed.

  • i am inclined to concur with your previous declaration

  • She absolutely used exogenous correctly, and FOX once again demonstrates how it plays-up to ignorant, illiterate and uneducated people. Too bad for them I guess that the "dumb contingent" will ultimately LOSE influence, just like they lost the recent election.

  • She used exogenous correctly.

  • Don't bother to watch FOX. It is a Republican station that only tells the Republican side of every issue. Watch CNN MSN or NBC

  • actually all of them are bias...they all have a slant and corporate agenda

  • yeah...keith olberman is pretty good

  • WTF is up with her eyes?

  • bollyking2000: Its called Crystal Meth....

  • crack my friend. someone's been cracka lackin.

  • MILF

  • no..she is the great grand ma i would never LF

  • lol..I wouldn't say no

  • actually 'exogenous' is the correct word -- usually used in economic models but is ok here as well. Means an external event that comes from outside the model that changes the internals of model.

  • Seach "Money Masters" on any search engine. Free video on google will explain the entire International Banker's influence in world economics.

  • Simple facts for dumb Americans:

    All of the Federal Income Taxes you pay goes to a Private Bank in the form of interest (profit) on loans to the government. Not one penny goes to the Government, not one fucking penny. In fact this PRIVATE bank is owned by the wealthiest people on the planet. Further more you personally owe them over $70,000.00, and you WILL pay these men...period. You know this bank as the Federal Reserve Bank.

  • McCain and Obama, mock you and your political stupidity. They laugh at you at their fancy cocktail party's with there rich donors. They know you will not take the few hours needed to realize what is really happening. They know you get your news from TV, and what you read on Yahoo, and think you are informed. In fact they count on your ignorance and stupidity. Its the oldest play in the book, and it works every time...divide and conquer.

  • Simple math for dumb Americans:

    Middle Class taxes in America. (thats the workingman)

    Inflation 4% (if you don't know thats a tax then you got a lot to learn about your money)

    Property and Misc. taxes 6%

    City sales tax 6% x .60 = 3.6%

    State 9%

    Federal 26%

    TOTAL == 48.4%

    Note: Many hidden taxes were left out that you pay everyday and the real number is much higher, but too horrifying to print for your small minds to fully comprehend.

  • Lolwut?

  • she used the right word. Exogenous means coming from the outside into something.

    The anchor thought she said 'erogenous' which is a different thing entirely ;)

  • Haha, funny.

  • Hmmm... maybe a foreign policy crisis? So - she's seriously hoping for a foreign policy crisis so that McCain can look better? And wouldn't it be surprising if something like that suddenly came up?? I would not put it past the Republicans to try to concoct such a thing.

  • It's FOX, 'nuff said.

  • i think she is using a weird word to distract from what she is saying. mission accomplished.

  • She used the right word - exogenous. The reporter just heard wrong or tried to make it dirty :)

  • creepy straight aging white guys. they just don't get it. how embarrassing for them.

  • So wait... how did she use the wrong word?

  • Let´s hope that the Americans get their act together and vote for Obama.

    Face it - the US is a lot worse of now compared to prior to the Bush JR era. A complete idiot has run your country for eight years, your economy has hit rock bottom, the "war on terror" is a joke, and the rest of the world hate your

  • Vote Obama!

  • Let's hope that people with no standing in the execution of or results of the vote butt out.

    Face it -- the pop of the Netherlands can't vote here, and aren't governed by the winners of the elections.

    Current Prez Bush is not a "JR", nor is he an "idiot". Perhaps if you lived here, you'd know that.

    Economy has not hit "rock bottom", and for a person on the sidelines of the war on terror, you have not earned the right to insult it.

    World hates U.S.? Who cares?

  • President Bush is not a "Junior"? So George Walker Bush is not the son of George Herbert Walker Bush? Regardless, he has shown himself to be lacking in intellect and foresight at numerous points during his presidency.

    Finally, your "person on the sidelines of the war on terror" comment is both irrelevant and nonsensical. The Netherlands contributed troops to Multinational Force Iraq from 2003-05 and currently has 1800 troops in Afghanistan.

  • No, President Bush is not a "Jr" despite being the son of G.H.W. Bush. You can trust me on this one, (I am a Jr.), or look it up.

    I will agree that there have been mistakes in W's presidency, but will not attribute them to the causes you state. Don't believe him to be lacking in intellect, or foresight (altho I will grant you that he is lacking in clairvoyance).

    My comment is neither irrelevant nor nonsensical for the reasons you state and bcse fella was not a participant.

  • hahahaha?

  • Filthy sluts!

  • fox sucks...

  • I think she used the word she wanted. "Exogenous" - caused by external factors. If we think of the electoral campaign as a system, then any events that come from outside that system, such as natural or economic disasters, are exogenous factors. As opposed to endogenous factors, which are the stump speeches on each side and the mud-slinging generated by the McCain campaign.

  • Very good explanation of the two words, with good examples -- right up to the point where you cited McCain as the mud-slinger. Not that McCain has not used negative ads, but to imply that Obama doesn't also is dishonest.

  • Yes, that was a bit of a dig at McCain. Obama has had negative ads, but it seems to me that Obama's have come as counter-punches. Obama has no problem talking about the issues - he's the one who benefits once people see the mess we are in. You have to admit - it is McCain's own campaign that said they need to "turn the page" on this economy talk and drop hints that Obama hates the U.S. Maybe we just have to agree to disagree, but most people are put off by McCain's desperate tactics.

  • Fox news foreshadows the GOP bomging of Iran before election day.

  • Is that supposed to be funny, or derisive? I'll never get the pea-brain comments of "conservatives."

  • Don't worry about it you Canadian piece of shit. Who the fuck asked you and who the fuck cares what the fuck you think you piece of shit! YOu want pea-brain? Look in the fucking mirror asshole. Now go and get some free medical care you fuck-face.

  • Nice. You really blew a gasket there, bro.

    Remember: We don't hate you for your freedoms. We hate you because you're assholes.

    PS The medical care is great!!! I don't pay a dime.

  • I lived in Canada for 16 years. and i didint pay anything to. but it took 6 weeks to see my Dr. 3 1/2 month to get a cat scan 2 more months to get someone to tell me what the hell was wrong with my back.still never found out anything! then whent to the states payed 48 bucks a month for 1 month saw a Dr. im fine now!

  • Nice... As long as it's free, that's all that's important to you loosers, aye? It goes something like this: "Oh, shit...I'm having a heart attack. I'd better call the doctor now so that I can get my appointment... IN 3 FUCKING MONTHS!!" Don't be a looser all of my life.

  • Actually NOT. We all pay, and all get service. My father did have a heart attack, 10 years ago, and got A-! immediate service. He's strong as a horse now. Without our country's health insurance, it may have bankrupted the family. See, we don't pay for golden parachutes, and executive perks, like your insurance campany CEO's get. That keeps our costs down to 1/2 what Americans pay.

  • expatted, My father waited many times in the ER for as long as 15 hours. For him to pick up Rx once a month, the wait was 8 to 10 hours. My father died in his sleep because his healthcare provider would not allow him to get a new C-PAP when his 4 y/o system failed. I AM glad that your Dad got the help, Thank God. As far as my fathers situation goes? It speaks for itself. Nothing done.

  • Canadians are 100% in agreement that their health system is better than anything in the USA (except for the ultra rich).

    This could be why most all states adjacent to Canada are supporting Obama. Montana is the last hold out, and it is beginning to lean to Obama and universal health care.

    (Oh forgot Idaho, but it's border is minimal).

  • Ummmmm...Did Beavis and Butthead guest-host this show? What a lil perv!  Although she's just trying to sound smart, she uses the term correctly; however, it's generally used in medical context.

  • LOL.  Chris has been on the couch over the weekend, methinks.

  • I thought she said Misogynist.

  • @bigj

    The misogynist economy!

  • FUCK FAUX NEWS!!!!

  • She's just like Sarah Palin. Women shouldn't be allowed to try to debate politics.

  • hahahaha

    don't care for Fox News but Chris Wallace is not bias like the others at Fox News

  • he's still sucker of satan's cock though ... murdoch's little bitch.

  • Exogenous (or exogeneous) (from the Greek words "exo" and "gen", meaning "outside" and "production") refers to an action or object coming from outside a system.

    Why is that wrong?

  • It's not !

  • They're Liberals, so "wrong" is what ever they feeeeeeel it is whenever they have a feeeeeling that it should be so for the moment -- in ANY of their 57 states.

    (They get cranky between Comedy Channel "news" reports.)

  • cant; "And Palin's popularity continues to decline", maybe you can't vote for Hillary, but anyone making a really stupid statement like that should not be ALLOWED to vote.

  • Whites, Blacks, Browns, Purples, Blue, it doesn't matter. This battle is beyond race!!!

    However, these stubborn REPUBLICANS want to distract us all from the truth and the REAL issues, so much so, that they always resort to slander.

    .....

    You REPUBLICANS are ridiculous [the one's posting anyways]. You can't win in any debate without resorting to 3rd grade slander!!!

    Your FEAR[SMEAR] tactics are getting old...

  • Obama '08

  • The new ZEITGEIST film is out. ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM - Free on Google and YouTube

    PASS IT ON!!!

  • lmao who watches Fox News neways only the people dumb enough to get brainwashed by them. CNN is one of the very few "fair and balanced" networks.

  • ????????????

  • Bill Kristol eats crap sandwiches for breakfast. Just look at that grin.

  • No, Mara, it's not completely exogenous.  It's indigenous as well.:

    It's because

    John McCain did poorly in the debate against Obama.

    And Palin completely flunked/flopped in her interview with Katie Couric. And Palin's popularity continues to decline..

  • exogenous means an outside event.  Ie an event not created by Obama.

  • exogeny -- In an economic model, an exogenous change is one that comes from outside the model and is unexplained by the model. For example, in the simple supply and demand model, a change in consumer tastes or preferences is unexplained by the model and also leads to endogenous changes in demand that lead to changes in the equilibrium price. Put another way, an exogenous change involves an alteration of a variable that is autonomous, i.e., unaffected by the workings of the model.

  • thanks wikipedia

  • repubs = creepy

  • Faux News, the Republican propaganda network!

  • liasson defended obama's association with ayers by saying their kids went to school together.Ayers children are in their 20's and obama's are grade school age.

  • oooo those NPR elitists! hehe

  • I'm pretty thankful that NPR content (and listeners) is of a different calibre, aren't you?

  • absolutely...though as an NPR listener I have to confess, I didn't know what it meant either LOL

  • republicans have scary smiles

  • exogenous is a scientific term (originating outside the organism) inappropriately applied to a socio-political situation. The real moron is Ms. Liasson attempting to appear intelligent.

  • It's hilarious how fast these morons are running from the disastrous "deregulation as religion" republican policies that led us off this financial cliff. No more one page summary moron presidents (Reagan)no more preppie dopef fake cowboys (Bush) no more devious fat old white men (Cheney and Rove) Give me someone who can think and speak in complete sentences, without flash cards or canned answers. OBAMA/BIDEN '08. Digusted with McCain/Palin in NH...Rich

  • The financial crisis is not 'exogenous' -- it has been created largely by Republican policies, ones that McCain supports. To say that it is 'external' to the campaign is ridiculous.

  • Mara is a left-wing nut anyway..so what's the problem?

  • I lol'd @ "exogenous zone". That's probably the most wit you'll see on Fox news.

  • Just goes to show how dumb Fox and its viewers are. They don't know what exogenous means??? Friggin inbred morons.

  • The faster they talk the more the obfuscate the truth

  • FOX NEWS -The Spin Zone -Informers for the Neo-Nazis -Corporate Politics keeps us rich -The Australian's doing crowd control -Inciting war because it sells more -More profit in oil than in solar collecting foil -A cog in the Military Industrial Complex -Republican MEGAPHONE! -Fascism at its purest - 1 World, 1 Dream, 1 Perspective -Youll die unless you take the pill from our ad break -Fear & Hysteria -Leading the Sheeple
  • Only a right-wing loon-tune would consider the near-collapse of our economy as an "exogenous event".

    Or, she must have more money than the McCains.

  • whats wrong with radical thoughts? wasnt it radical for people to break off from Britian and form the United States?

  • Oh yeah. And Hitler too was a radical fella...

  • she uses big words... SHES AN ELITIST!!!

    BURN HER!!!!

  • hehe thats exactly the correct use of exogenous

  • "1.originating from outside; derived externally. "

    Yeah, she's right.

    So it wasn't the "wrong fancy word." Chris Wallace just didn't get it.
