Best of 2010: At the Tea Party & Ella Es El Matador
December 28, 2010Continuing our Best of 2010 series, we bring you an in-depth discussion of the Tea Party movement from October 15. This week's special feature delves into the who, the what and the why of the Tea Party. As the left grapples with the reality that tea partiers may be more than a passing trend, what should we know about who these people are who funds them? Is the left fighting against them or enabling them? And most importantly, what can be done to turn things around?At the Tea Party
October 16, 2010This week's special feature delves into the who, the what and the why of the Tea Party. As the left grapples with the reality that tea partiers may be more than a passing trend, what should we know about who these people are who funds them? Is the left fighting against them or enabling them? And most importantly, what can be done to turn things around? Laura's new book, At the Tea Party, is out on October 20 and tackles precisely the above.At The Tea Party and Ella Es El Matador
October 15, 2010Laura's new book tackles the who, what and why of the Tea Part movement. At the Tea Party: The Wing Nuts, Whack Jobs, and Whitey-Whiteness of the New Republican Right and Why We Should Take It Seriously is out on October 20 - for now though, enjoy a discussion with 3 of the book's contributors, Rebecca Traister, Richard Kim and Rick Perlstein. Then, Ella Es El Matador explores the world of female bullfighters in this week's Got Docs.Alexander Zaitchik & Rick Perlstein: Whither Glenn Beck?
August 14, 2010Glenn Beck might not have a lot of advertisers left, but he's got a lot of viewers still. And the Obama administration recently showed off just how terrified they are of the FOX News host by pressuring Shirley Sherrod to leave her position because of the threat of a video appearing on Beck's show. But Beck didn't start off as a journalist (or a demagogue). He came from much humbler beginnings.Whither Glenn Beck and Community Development in Brooklyn

June 15, 2010"Beck rejects soccer because his idealized “real America”—in all its monochromatic glory—rejects it as well." Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation, says that and a whole lot more in his commentary on why Glenn Beck--and the rest of the Right--hates World Cup soccer.Year of the Woman, Jeremy Scahill, and the World Cup
June 14, 2010The victories of Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman in California, Sharron Angle in Nevada, and Nikki Haley in South Carolina in last week's primaries are being hailed as a victory for women. Yet do conservative, anti-government women's candidacies spell gains for women nationwide? Or will the cuts they threaten to make to government programs hurt more women than their candidacies help?Why the Racism?
March 12, 2010The latest campaign from Brave New Foundation focuses on the nastiest undercurrent to the tea party and right wing movements in this country: the racism. This video looks at some examples and offers a way for you to get involved in calling out racism when you see it.Stop Rush Limbaugh: Fight the Smears
March 10, 2010Rush Limbaugh likes to use populist rhetoric to inflame his fans, but the right-wing demagogue actually lives in a $13 million Manhattan penthouse. Not much of a man of the people. This video from Brave New Films points out Limbaugh's hypocrisy, and you can join their group on Facebook to help fight right-wing smears.Youth Unemployment, Carrie Brunk, and Student Protests
March 9, 2010The focus during the unemployment crisis has been largely on those who have lost their jobs, but students and first-time job seekers have been hit hard as well. Viany Orozco of Demos points out that for those who enter the workforce for the first time during a recession, the wage hit can last for many years down the road.
