Right-Wing Road Warrior
Posted on 12. Aug, 2010 by admin in Open Mic
The good old days of Walter Cronkite – and a news media that was largely trusted by the public – are long behind us. Today, with cable news and the internet, the louder and more extreme your viewpoint, the more likely your voice will actually be heard.
Among the new generation of TV pundits is Republican author/columnist S.E. Cupp. She plays the media game and plays it well, appearing regularly on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN. We recently sat down with Cupp to discuss her views on such charged topics as Prop 8, the Ground Zero mosque, and the myth that all conservatives are prudes.
Check it out in the latest episode of our series on the political voices of today, Open Mic.

Tea Party Comes to Brooklyn
Posted on 28. Jul, 2010 by admin in Open Mic
Is the Tea Party a real movement, an actual party or just a bunch of cranks? Well, the party has come to–of all places–Brooklyn. Its leader used to play guitar with members of Nirvana and Sonic Youth–and he’s no fan of Sarah Palin. John Kenneth Press (author of Culturism: A Word, A Value, Our Future) explains why the movement is not extremist, and why Kurt Cobain wouldn’t be a member.

Tea With That, Congressman?
Posted on 20. Jul, 2010 by admin in Open Mic
The line has been drawn. House Republicans have to make a choice: either join Michele Bachmann’s Tea Party Caucus or risk voters’ wrath in November. It’s not a decision to be taken lightly. The Tea Party movement is growing bigger everyday. It even has a presence in Brooklyn. Yes, that Brooklyn, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
We recently caught up with John Kenneth Press, president of the Brooklyn Tea Party. It was very informative. Everything you want to know about the Tea Party, Press has the goods: Sarah Palin, Arizona’s immigration laws, Obama’s attitudes to Islam, Kurt Cobain… Well, you gotta see it to believe it. For now, check out this teaser. The full interview will appear next week on our series “Open Mic.”
