This is a GREAT Lineup (L.A. Times, Huffington Post, DFA, Media Matters, Firedoglake..)

[ihavenobias]

I know some of you got a chance to check out the Brave New Films/Young Turks simulcast of last weeks Iowa Caucus night coverage.

The viewership exceeded expectations and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive according to Robert Greenwald (the man behind Brave New Films, Fox Attacks, Outfoxed, Iraq for Sale, etc.).
While you may have missed the Iowa event (you missed some great guests including Sam Seder and Richard Wolfe of Newsweek who regularly appears on Countdown with Olbermann), there is another event tonight starting at 7pm EST.

The New Hampshire coverage will once again be simulcast on both websites and Brave New Films also has a live chat with Greenwald (and anyone who comes to the website of course) which was incredibly popular last week (and I have to say I loved it too as it made caucus night much more interactive). While you'll still get the up to the minute poll results regularly throughout the broadcast you *won't* get the standard, boring BS from the dopes in the mainstream media (you know, the ones *we* complain about all the time!).

Instead you'll get awesome commentary (including live reports from New Hampshire) from progressives that are *at least* as informative as anyone you'd see on tv but also just flat out funnier and more entertaining IMO.

At any rate, the official schedule and guest list is below and can also be found here: http://bravenewfilms.org/election

PS---Hope to see you in the chat tonight! Keep in mind you can always check in and have the sound on at your pc while you post here at DU. And hey, we all complain about the mainstream media but the best way to reduce its influence by supporting *progressive* media! Why complain about the MSM only to trust them for your election coverage? Anyway, just something to consider.

1. Editing Period Has Expired (Help Support Progressive Media)

In addition to the guest list, I forgot to mention that like last week the show will be Hosted by Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, and Wes Clark, Jr.

PS---Last I read, the ratio of conservative to progressive hosts on tv was 13 to 1 (IMO it's *literally* one too, i.e. Keith Olbermann) and on radio there is a 10 to 1 ratio according to Media Matters. We'll NEVER change this huge disparity if we don't support the progressive media that's already out there and instead ignore them to listen to the corporate media we supposedly all can't stand!

Help support progressive media!
