This video will tell you just about everything you need to know about what Wisconsin is all about.
If the left doesn't rise to this challenge, this nation is a lost cause. Just book a flight to Australia, New Zealand, or some other nation where there is still a shred of decency left in their cultural

Finally…
A real journalist steps up to knit together the many questions about the Manning story that you probably won't be reading at Firedoglake and Salon.com. But now, thanks to this post, we may finally see some from the rest of the stenographic media. Emphasis on "may."
I'm pleased that some of the work that my friends

Dear Glenn:
Today I posted a blog entry about Jane Hamsher at 1:30 pm, EST. Then I went to the dentist for a 3 hour session. I came back to find Jane Hamsher acting like Jane Hamsher. Rather than respond to anything in my post, she resorted to another round of goofy attacks on me.

As you may have heard…
I wrote a blog post last week… and Jane Hamsher, founder and lead blogger at Firedoglake.com (FDL), and often considered to be a leading progressive voice got rather upset with me. It was a level of anger that led her to make a rather ugly spectacle of herself, and one

Yesterday, I became another in a distinguished line of critics openly Twitter-flamed by the illustrious Salon.com blogger, Glenn Greenwald. He took time out from the glorious weather in his home town of Rio de janeiro to hector me publicly for posting this tweet on Twitter.
It was addressed to one of my Twitter followers,

I am still too angry to blog this. So for now, just watch Keith's final moments on MSNBC. Then get angry too. We're going to need a lot of that anger in the coming years. This is just the beginning of a long and bloody war for the future of media,

"There you go again!"
Once more, as they have so often done, the right wing is going to try to rewrite history, methodically reconstructing 8 horrendous years of the Bush administration, replacing a systemic pattern of crimes, malfeasance, and incompetence with glowing portraits of another unsung American hero who exists only in their minds, and the

Please spend the next few days sending this to everyone you know. Drag people to watch it, if you must. Then drag them to the god damn polls.
We won't get a second chance. It's show time. We either save America this Tuesday, or can just pack it in. They will only grow stronger, and quickly

Ed Wasserman, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation professor of journalism ethics at Washington and Lee University finds cause for optimism in all the venture capital, conferences and media experiments. But he also, rightly, questions whether it's too little, too late. The entire business model of media now seems to revolve around

Enough is Enough
We have endured this pretense that Fox News is a legitimate news organization for too long. It's not. It's the 24 hour propaganda channel of the Republican party, and Washington should marginalize and stigmatize it until it withers and dies. (More on this in a later post).
