Financial Times profiles TPM
The Financial Times has done an in depth profile of Josh Marshall and Talking Points Media. It underscores the excellent original behind the headlines Josh does everyday. Here are some quotes from the article:
"Marshall almost single-handidly kept the attorney purge story alive," says Eric Boehlert, a senior fellow at the progressive media watchdog organisation Media Matters for America. "He pulled off a textbook example of what new media and online media can do."
"I'd say he's a progressive Matt Drudge in the ascendancy, but Josh actually does the journalistic spadework, information isn't spoon- fed to him," says John Kerry
"I think Marshall's a special case if not truly unique in that he's a serious intellectual journalist who has decided to become a serious activist," Jonah Goldberg
Frank Rich, one of Marshall's regular readers: "It's just good journalistic writing. It would be true if it was published in a paper or on the internet."
