Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    The Latest from Current TV

    I want to start highlighting some of the good stuff that is broadcast on Al Gore's Current TV. Most people don't realize that some of the best investigative journalism is done by Current TV. (note...often the excerpt will begin with a commercial...but it's worth suffering through the commercial for the report)

    Neo-Nazi training camp in Russia:
    Current's Christof Putzel investigates a growing movement in Russia where neo-Nazi groups are brutally attacking immigrants and spreading their hate by posting violent videos online.



    Captive in North Korea:
    Journalist Laura Ling provides harrowing details of how she and producer Euna Lee were apprehended and held in North Korea while on assignment covering human trafficking in Asia. Personal accounts, letters and never-before-seen footage from Ling, Lee and producer Mitch Koss reveal the team's experiences at the center of a widely publicized international standoff.
