Maddow v. Berman

I like Rachel Maddow. I do not like Rick Berman -- or his deceptive Center for Consumer Freedom or Berman/CCF's mouthpiece David Martosko (who gets a shout-out from Berman, and gets called out by Maddow, during the following interview; see the list at the end of this post for previous posts related to these shady characters). And the two videos that follow further confirmed which party I like and which I despise. The first five minutes of video 1 are of Rachel Maddow giving us an intro to Berman and some of his many front-group organizations, and the remaining five minutes feature an interview between Maddow and the creep himself. Video 2, under five minutes long, is the last half of the interview.

Berman's a bit of an evil genius, and he's been spinning and equivocating and deceiving for a long, long time. But Maddow held her own and didn't let him pull all his usual crap. Good for her. (You can also view these videos on the show's site: part 1 and part 2.)
