Video: Bailout Madness With Air America, MoJo

Test Ticker

THE FIRST $500,000

This is a big one: the first time we’re asking for the donations Mother Jones relies on since joining forces with the Center for Investigative Reporting. So in “Less Dreading, More Doing,” we lay it all out for you—why we merged, how we’re stronger together, and why we’re more optimistic than normal about the work ahead. It still won’t be easy. Please help us raise the First $500,000 we need by June 22.

Always one to talk bailout madness, Mike Papantonio, co-host of Air America’s lively “Ring of Fire” weekly program, invited me back recently (see the first interview here) onto his show. We talked about Mother Jones‘ coverage of the latest debacle surrounding the government’s more than $20 trillion financial rescue—the TARP repayment process and the controversy over the government’s warrant firesales.
