The Media on Speed


Check out Tom Engelhardt's excellent interview with Nation magazine editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel: Katrina vanden Heuvel, the Media on Speed. In the interview, vanden Heuvel briefly discusses: How the Democratic Party disappeared (and the Nation magazine prospered); the frustrations of not having an opposition party; why the very name Hillary gives her "Clinton fatigue"; how the Party's leadership, in its electoral strategy on the Iraq War, has fused "political calculation with cowardice"; the nature of the political Internet and its "net roots"; how to combat the American "paralysis factor"; and why the American Century is over, among many other subjects.

Be sure to also check out vanden Heuvel's Nation weblog, Editor's Cut.
