Watch Rachel Maddow dammit!

Our favorite ... Rachel Maddow receives big kudos from David Sirota for following up an interview from the night before with a clarification and apology. Well done!

"Maddow Busts Morgan Stanley Board Member for Lack of Transparency


Thankfully, when I pointed Tyson's conflict of interest out to Maddow and her show's staff, they did the responsible thing and made a big effort to inform viewers about what happened. Indeed, in doing this follow-up piece, the Rachel Maddow Show displayed the kind of integrity and respect for their audience that is almost unheard of in political journalism. In being so honest about this, they really showed what their program is all about, and how they aren't willing to be used or deceived by corporate spokespeople."
Watch it here:
