R.J. Eskow joins The Young Turks to talk about the pros and cons of the different ways Hillary, Obama and McCain treat the press. You may know R.J. from his writings on Crooks and Liars or Huffington Post, among other things. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow

PS---You can always watch the Show Live 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

1. Wow...so interesting! I guess it is very easy to overlook the impact this stuff has

But like RJ said the press is human and they are influenced by their treatment.

2. Rec'd..These are such interesting prospectives

from RJ Eskow..something vastly different than the m$$$m tainted ones.

I'll look at this later, though, 'cause I just got home from work and need to unwind.

Thanks for bringing these on DU, ihnb..too bad they're getting so lost in the shuffle of GD-P..at least the one about mark penn made it to the greatest page.
