GRITtv: Melissa Harris-Lacewell: Countering Election Spin

"We need to be covering the left as much as we cover, with anxiety, the right," notes Nation contributor and Princeton professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell. The lack of coverage of progressive movements, protests, and actions in the face of a loud, angry and well-funded right wing can be disheartening, but we know they are out there, and in some cases fighting hard to keep a Tea Party backed Republican party from taking back seats in Congress during the midterms.

Melissa joins us in studio to discuss the upcoming elections, the media message, and what progressives can do to fight back. Distributed by Tubemogul.

@Geezyone yea.... its a shame they have such a strong grip on our nation. I feel like our president has done nothing more than try to appease them and they have done nothing but shoot down his every act. I hope our nation stops listening to those rich, out of touch, republican status quo protectors. I agree with you Geezyone

The Tea Partyers are basically a bunch of racist nitwits led by the nose
