The Intercept, Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill's online news publication, makes no bones about its contempt for the Democratic Party. Stocked with writers critical of the party's dominant centrist wing, the publication has become a thorn in its side, as its articles emphasize ...read more
One of the things that drives me nuts about the Left is that, more often than not, we allow GOP operatives to run roughshod over us with their stupid, unsourced arguments and talking points. Back in January, Chuck Todd (not a liberal but a good example of the phenomena) got ...read more

Joy Reid's new show has a name now, and it isn't either of my excellent suggestions, Reid: All About It or Joy, to the World. Still, she more than made up for that on Saturday morning's edition of AM Joy by absolutely destroying Republican strategist Genevieve Wood on the issue ...read more
