Here is a video of a panel presentation recorded live at Netroots Nation, 18 July 2008. The discussion is moderated by Digby, who runs the blog Hullabaloo, and the panelists are Rick Perlstein, Paul Krugman, and Duncan Black, aka Atrios. (Short bios here.)
There's an obvious tilt to this panel, of course, but I think there's a lot to be gained from watching it, anyway. If nothing else, the overview of the history of past few decades -- how the "liberal media" tag was and remains so effectively applied -- is quite instructive. Beyond that: If you're moderate or conservative, you might at least appreciate how we lefties see things. If you're liberal, you should pick up some ideas about what we need to be doing.
Warning: There is no sound for about the first thirty seconds. After that, the sound starts, but unfortunately, it's quite soft. It's not a problem with the embed -- the same applies if you follow the alt. video link. You'll have to crank the volume on your machine to hear it. It's worth doing this, but I recommend closing all other programs while you're watching -- the ding-dong of new incoming email could stop your heart.
Approximate run length: 73 minutes.
Update
