Yesterday I was on a panel at the YearlyKos Convention in Chicago entitled “Blogs and the MSM: From Clash to Civilization”. Also on the panel were Glen Greenwald of Unclaimed Territory/Salon.com, Mike Allen of Politico and Jill Filipovic of Feministe. Ari Melber of The Nation and Huffington Post moderated the panel. I thought it was a good panel, with good questions from the audience. A lot of people came up afterwards and thanked me for being willing to participate despite all the hostility towards the MSM, but I didn’t think it was all that hostile. And the dialogue was worth it. My thanks to Ari for doing a great job moderating, to my fellow panelists and to everyone who came and who asked questions (and who, in some cases, quelled their desire to throw rotten produce).

Have you seen the latest Crossroads GPS fact check of the Obama Campaign fact check of a Crossroads GPS ad that relies on a fact check by Politifact, but fails to point out that Politifact called the same ad “mostly false”?
No? Well, then. You have come to the right place. Though we must caution: If you continue reading this post, you do so at significant risk your own faith in the American Democratic process.
