Is the old media sustaining the old politics?

Somehow I found this link to a really interesting video from the Bill Moyers Journal program. I think it was on Twitter, but I can't remember. Too many RSS and Twitter feeds anymore to keep them straight, really.

The video isn't embeddable, regrettably. But it features NYU journalism professor and PressThink blogger Jay Rosen and political journalist and Salon.com blogger Glenn Greenwald discussing how the media and the politics of Washington are still going to be the same old game, despite the hopes of "change" from a new administration. There is some great insight and explainations of how much of a fixture the Washington Press Corps is and how they maintain the direction of the narrative.

I really reccomend watching this half-hour show.
