MoJo on MSNBC: The Barracuda vs. The Whales (Video)

This evening I was a guest on David Shuster’s show on MSNBC, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where we discussed Governor Sarah Palin’s plans to sue the federal government to reverse the endangered species listing of the Cook Inlet beluga whale. This, I might add, was the second time in as many weeks that a MoJo staffer was featured on Shuster’s “Muckraker of the Day” segment. Last week, the honor went to David Corn, who chatted with Shuster about Obama’s first-day transparency and accountability moves, as well as the Obama administration’s new web site.

Check out tonight’s segment:

FACT:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and the wealthy wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.

Today, reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget, allows us to dig deep on stories that matter, and lets us keep our reporting free for everyone. If you value what you get from Mother Jones, please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2019 demands.
