Watch the premiere of our first LIVE show: Meet the Bloggers
By Brave New Films
You know how we're always attempting to make an impact with our films?
We
helped spread the word about hard-hitting documentaries like Outfoxed,
Wal-Mart, and Iraq for Sale. Our sister organization, Brave New
Films, then started making its own short videos like The REAL McCain
and our FOX Attacks series, and you saw the chance to reach even more
people by spreading them all over the web. Well, with a great
deal of excitement (and just a wee bit of nervousness!), we bring you
the next way for you to get involved.
Presenting the trailer to our newest weekly series: Meet the Bloggers
Beginning
July 18, Meet the Bloggers will be a daring new show broadcast LIVE
over the internet each Friday at 1PM ET. And the best part is
this show is all yours. You will be part of creating the show, telling
us what questions we should ask our high-profile guests; what issues we
should be talking about; and what actions should be taken. You
can also interact with other audience members using a live blog and
instant polls.
Watch Meet the Bloggers LIVE each Friday
We've
already lined up some dazzling guests including John Cusack, Sen. Harry
Reid, Rachel Maddow, and this week, Arianna Huffington (more exciting
guests to be announced soon). The show's host will be Cenk Uygur of The
Young Turks. And we have a really diverse mix of bloggers
including Marcy Wheeler (Emptywheel), Nico Pitney (The Huffington
Post), Liliana Segura (AlterNet), Roberto Lovato (Of America),
Baratunde Thurston (Jack & Jill Politics), and Faiz Shakir (Think
Progress) to bring you smart, unconventional political analysis.
Don't
miss this Friday's premiere of Meet the Bloggers, in which we'll be
discussing whether Karl Rove should be sent to jail for failing to
comply with the House Judiciary Committee's subpoena. Now's your
chance to become part of the Meet the Bloggers community; send us your
questions and comments before Friday's show for us to consider to
include. Give input for our Friday show here:
http://meetthebloggers.org.
And if
you do miss this Friday's premiere or any other episode, you can still
watch them free online any time at meetthebloggers.org. We can't
allow the corporatism to dominate the discourse any longer. The
stakes are much too high. So please join us live in watching and
spreading Meet the Bloggers beginning this Friday, July 18 at 1PM ET.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald, Leighton Woodhouse, Paris Marron, Joey Smallwood,
and the Brave New Team
