UPDATE: Paul Waldman (American Prospect):

"While who hosts which show on cable news is probably of only marginal import to you, something just happened at MSNBC that is actually interesting. Cenk Uygur, who had been hosting the network's 6 pm slot on a trial basis for the last few months, got shown the door, and Al Sharpton will be taking over." MORE...

"MSNBC Anchor Bashes Obama For Not Supporting Wisconsin Unions" (with video)

MEDIAite with video (05:35):

President Barack Obama’s response to labor protests in Wisconsin hasn’t been forceful enough for many political leaders in his party, but what’s likely the most scathing critique the president’s received for his actions (or lack thereof) came earlier today via MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur. Uygur lambasted Obama for not showing more solidarity with the workers – even though back when he was running for president, he vowed he would. MORE...

Howie P.S.: Private message to President Obama: Do you need to stimulate the economy by purchasing a new comfortable pair of shoes, that were Made in America?

"Amanda Terkel: Violent Rhetoric and Gabrielle Giffords" (with video)

GRITtv, with video (08:28):

"On the eve of the shooting that left her critically injured, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) wrote an email to Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson (R), asking his help in toning down the partisan rhetoric in the country." Amanda Terkel reported that Giffords had been asking for help, as one of the few Democrats and the only woman remaining in a Republican district, toning down the anger and violence running through much of political discourse.

Terkel has had her own experiences with right-wing language and media attacks: she was harassed and stalked by Bill O'Reilly's producer, and she notes that especially as a woman, it can be easy to feel threatened when you're targeted by politicians or other public figures. She joins us via Skype from Washington, D.C. to discuss the Giffords shooting, her own experiences, and more.

Howie P.S.: Cenk Uygur answers the question, "Was Jared Loughner's Act Political?" Matt Taibbi answers another question: "The Giffords Tragedy: Is the Media Partly at Fault?"

Glenn Greenwald, with video (13:41):

Earlier today I posted video of a Civil Liberties and Terrorism speech I gave last night at the University of Wisconsin, along with some notices of events and media appearances tomorrow, but I wanted to separately post this 13-minute discussion I had on MSNBC this afternoon with Dylan Ratigan and Cenk Uygur about the Obama presidency, progressives and the Democratic Party, because I thought the discussion was quite good and touched on some important issues.

Cenk Uygur: "Why Rahm Emanuel's Political Calculations Were 100% Wrong"

Cenk Uygur:

The Rahm Emanuel strategy was to cut deals with power brokers in Washington and ignore what liberals wanted. This was best illustrated when he called liberals "fucking retarded" for trying to push for real change. His attitude was that you could ignore progressive demands because - where could they go?!

Well, it turns out that the answer to that question is - home. MORE...
