The former CBS producer for Dan Rather on the controversial Bush / National Guard story talks about right wing pressure on the news media.

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. Sorry about that

This was originally an interview with Michael Hirsh of Newsweek on Rove/Siegelman but TYT had the wrong link up on their site.

At any rate, this is also a very good interview. Once they put up the correct link for other interview, I'll post open that up for discussion.

2. I am glad she made the connection to reaction to the Mccain NY Times story

And I agree with her that the Bush national guard story should have been run BEFORE he stole the presidency.

4. Is This Mary Mapes?

If so...you'd probably get more people interested if you included her name...many here are familiar with her.

5. I know, I tried to edit it before but the time period expired. But there's a YouTube clip

that did well in the video section so hopefully a decent number of people got a chance to see it.
