1. interesting segment.

newspaper bureau reporters have a lot to offer...this is an interesting interview, it's too bad though that a lot of these foreign bureaus are going to close because of the nature of the print industry and economy.

2. The Real News is internet based, not print so hopefully it will be

around for awhile. And welcome to DU!

3. I remember the surge...

Haven't heard much about it since the election, though. My piece on the surge when the media was still pushing it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7272205

Thanks for an interesting video. Also my first brush with The Real News. I'm impressed.
