Sally Kohn: Putting Public Broadcasting in Perspective
March 18, 2011Republicans have NPR and PBS in their sights once again, and once again progressives and media reformers have to fight for every penny that public media gets. Just how many pennies is that, though? Sally Kohn of Movement Vision puts that funding in perspective in this video.Leo Gerard, Paul Mason, Sally Kohn, and Ransoming Ray Davis
March 17, 2011"Now we think not only us are going to have to review our sense of comfort. I am not very comfortable." says Leo Gerard, President of the United Steelworkers union.

December 1, 2008In the days after the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai there has been a rush to judgment.

The spotlight has shifted now to India and how they'll respond.A Vote of Fear or Hope?
November 4, 2008With the campaign entering its final day, and despite Barack Obama's comfortable lead, the fear factor still looms large. Last week the New York Times ran an article about Black voters in North Carolina who assumed that their votes would not be counted. In addition, the climate of fear stoked by the McCain campaign and its surrogates has added a raw edge to the campaign's final day.Fear vs. Hope, Tweet Your Vote, and How the Election Could be Stolen
November 3, 2008With the campaign entering its final day, and despite Barack Obama's comfortable lead, the fear factor still looms large. A recent ad titled CRISIS released by a Republican 527 blends fears of another 9/11, the financial crisis, and images of Barack Obama and a van of terrorists. Obama has stayed closer to the reality-based world, releasing an ad that highlights Dick Cheney's endorsement of John McCain.
