"GRITtv: Greg Mitchell: Money Media Miss the Point (Again)"

The big story last week, of course, was the elections: Republicans take back the House! Nearly $5 billion spent on campaigns across the country--most of it from faceless corporate donors! Yet instead, by the weekend we were left with a different story, when Keith Olbermann was suspended from MSNBC for donating money to three Democratic candidates. Not a peep, of course, about the amount that MSNBC's parent company, GE, gave.

And then, of course, George W. Bush started his book tour, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace joked with Jon Stewart about Fox's employing the Republican candidates for 2012, and our friends at The Nation were profiled in today's New York Times. Greg Mitchell, media blogger at The Nation, joins us to discuss. Distributed by Tubemogul.
