Progressive Website Influencing MSM?
Well, this is exciting. It appears that progressive site Media Matters for America, might have actually had an impact on the MSM. Media Matters for America wrote a letter on their website to MSNBC about Tucker Carlson's new show, "The Situation," imploring them to balance the show with progressive voices. Last night the show debuted, including Air America Radio's Rachel Maddow. I was thrilled! (Although, unfortunately, they had to spend most of their time talking about the Michael Jackson verdict.) I thought Maddow did a great job. It's quite unusual these days, to see a true progressive on a prime time television show.

I always enjoy seeing her square off on CNN's American Morning from time to time. With so many milquetoast Dems booked for similar slots (see Joe Klein on CMS last sunday?), it's nice to see a liberal who regularly wipes the floor with her opponent. And her use of humor is really effective...
Yeah, she's great. You can catch her show on Air America Radio - it airs 5am - 6am, but you can stream it everyday after 7am. I keep missing her on American Morning, tho. It's so great to see someone like her getting so much exposure. She regularly plays a clip on her show of Rush Limbaugh saying, "Has anyone heard of Rachel Maddow?"
