Show Description:

Led by the fiercly independent and original journalism of Joshua Micah Marshall (Talking Points Memo), Veracifier isn't content to just put a another spin on the day's headlines. And we're not mere blog-tificators either, pouring out opinions by the pound. We're the CSI of news, painstakingly piecing together strand upon strand until we get to the bottom of a story-which sometimes turns out to be way up there at the top. Take the Alberto Gonzales/U.S. Attorneys scandal for instance. Talking Points Memo broke that story and owned it, as was admitted by no less than the LA Times. The "See Change" brought on by the Internet has enabled us to see everything differently. Where News is concerned, it has empowered private citizens to step up and take on the watchdog role abdicated by the big news outlets we used to trust. But who among this citizen chorus can we count on for veracity? Josh Marshall has earned the respect of thinking web watchers everywhere. He has an army of thousands of readers and contributors helping him get to the root of a story. And he does it in plain view, going after news with a scalpal and carving away the spin until all that?s left is the naked truth.
