My 18-minute interview with Laura Flanders of GritTV. Among the explanations on offer:

* what to do about journalism school;

* what citizen journalism is, really;

* what a “problem solving” approach to health care coverage would be like;

* how the Church of the Savvy operates (that’s my name for the insiders in the press corps who to try to impress us with their detached, witty and ironic style;)

* the difference between “balance” and actually knowing what you’re talking about.

* the pro journalists I respect and draw inspiration from;

Best moment: “Real objectivity comes from understanding the issue so well you can say who’s trying to bullshit us.”
