TPT Show With Markos Generates Media Interest

This week’s episode of TEXAS POLITICS TODAY, which aired yesterday with Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas as our guest, was terrific. Markos turned out to be a smart and engaging interview, in one of the few interviews he’ll give while in Austin this week. His presence on the show garnered lots of local media attention.

Austin American-Statesman political reporter Gardner Selby previewed the interview, then live-blogged it. His thoughts can be read here. (The most interesting part of his story may be the comment by “Rick,” who fretted that “this radical left element is responsible for the internet attacks on government/Whitehouse/NASA/CIA/NASA/USAF website—-anything the radical left disagrees with” and expressed his ”HOPE the FBI tapes this outfit—-I am sure they will find more than a few ‘persons of interest’! ” I hope the FBI did tape the show — they can give a copy to us so we can put up a podcast.)

Elise Hu from KVUE News plugged the episode on her Political Junkie blog. She also did a story on tonight’s news that included an interview with Markos. She inserted some B-roll of our show into the segment. If you can’t remember what the “On Air” sign in the studio looks like, or wonder what the back of David Kobierowski’s head looks like, check out her report here.
Speaking of David, he’ll share his thoughts about what Markos had to say in a future post.
