The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast and Best Political News Site, 2009) are excited to have progressive fireball Sam Seder hosting his own one hour show that will stream live at www.theyoungturks.com this Friday at 12pm Eastern/9am Pacific Time. If you miss it, I'm sure we'll have some YouTube clips, like this August classic when Seder took on a conservative caller on healthcare.
We have the worst media in the world. They almost never tell you what's really going on, especially in politics.
