In my last post I inferred some aspersions on the Rachel Maddow Show for its producer’s interests in responding in-kind to the bombastic journalism of Fox News broadcasts. In contrast to that post, I cannot recommend highly enough that you view the Rachel Maddow Show of Thursday, September 24. In one hour Rachel unmasked the fraudulent accusations against the non-profit community organization, ACORN, to which the mainstream media and Congress have fallen prey.
And, the Show provided a forum for Ken Burns, the award winning documentary filmmaker, to portray his new film of the expansive vision of the US government of the 1930s when FDR inspired the National Park Service legislation through which thousands of unemployed were hired to enhance and make accessible to the public the National Parks.
The September 24 Maddow Show and Burns’ documentary are a must see, if we are to understand what Maddow called our current “national tantrum.”
The Maddow Show of September 24 is indeed a model of the journalism we need; in-depth, scholarly in viewer-friendly language, pertinent to key issues of the day.
