Excellent response to the right-wing elite.,

This review is from: The American Prospect (Magazine)
The American Prospect was founded by Robert Kuttner Obama's Challenge: America's Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative Presidency and Robert Reich Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America, both important thinkers in their own right. While it isn't as radical as I think our analysis needs to be in this time of ecological and economic meltdown, The American Prospect is consistently thoughtful and provides a very helpful response to the endless barrage of right-wing PR in the service of corporatism and militarism The Corporation.
The current issue features a cover story on a constructive development in cable news, that is the rise of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. Openly gay, and politically astute, Maddow is a breath of fresh-air on the tv tube which has been so dominated by men. The article notes that Maddow is currently working on a book about the militarization of the United States The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives. I'd like to see the American Prospect include the occassional radical like Angela Davis Abolition Democracy: Beyond Prisons, Torture, and Empire Interviews with Angela Y. Davis (Open Media), Michael Parenti Contrary Notions: The Michael Parenti Reader, or Winona LaDuke New Perspectives on Environmental Justice: Gender, Sexuality, and Activism. Nevertheless, the Prospect does a great job of responding to the misinformation efforts of journals like The Weakly Standard and the National Review.

This review is from: The American Prospect (1-year auto-renewal) (Magazine)
With the sad demise of Air America on the radio there are fewer places to find out what is happening to us. The MSM is owned & operated by the corporations who are much of the problem. The only recourse is the alternative magazines, MSNBC (although they fired Keith Olbermann), Current TV (founded by Al Gore & now has Olbermann) & some of NPR (although that is slipping). Those who wonder about the goals of the Occupy movement clearly are not familiar with any of these. The American Prospect along with The Nation, Mother Jones, In These Times and the newspaper The Progressive Populist chronicles the political shenanigans of our elected legislators, Big Business, Wall Street, Big Banking and the Right Wing smear machine. The articles are well written, often entertaining (you laugh while you cry), well documented and generally fair. Those of us who are wondering where our Democracy went can find out here. I think they may even mail it to Texas & Mississippi!
