[WillyT]

Cenk Uygur
Amy Goodman
Thom Hartmann
Rachael Maddow (In the belly of the beast)
Paul Krugman

I've got more... but the list isn't that long...



You ???

[upi402]

1. Great list

Inactive ones should include Molly Ivins
and don't forget KO spoke truth to power in the heat of the Bushit.

[Tx4obama]

8. The reason Molly Ivins is 'inactive' is because she died in 2007

[Logical]

2. Olberman!! He has his issues but is a GREAT progressive!

[rurallib]

3. I'll trade Stephanie Miller in for Cenk Uygur

Otherwise I agree with your list, but I must add Eliot Spitzer.
His knowledge of markets makes him a needed voice out there.

Eta to clarify title.

[ananda]

4. Bill Moyers and Amy Goodman.

to name two

[WillyT]

6. Damn... How Could I Forget Moyers...

[RKP5637]

7. Yep, great too!!! n/t

[RKP5637]

5. Same for me for the top five!!! What, David Gregory isn't on the list! LOL! n/t

[WillyT]

10. LOl !!!!

Oh yeah... THAT'll happen.

[dmr]

23. !

[Greybnk48]

9. Add to what everyone said Lawrence O'Donnell and Ed Schultz.

And like I said I agree with everyone else's choices as well. I would like to add Jon Stewart and Stephan Colbert.

[wordpix]

35. +1

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. Here's my top 5....(6, actually!)

Bill Moyers
Thom Hartmann
Amy Goodman
Paul Krugman
Frank Rich
Rachel Maddow

[Systematic Chaos]

12. No list of this sort is complete without Mike Malloy.

Other than that the OP's list is fine, except I'd make it a "top 6."

[rufus dog]

13. Easy

Tamron Hall looking from the right.
Tamron Hall looking from the left.
Tamron Hall looking straight ahead.
Tamron Hall looking slightly down.
Tamron Hall looking slightly up.


Sorry, have a thing for Tamron Hall, don't tell the wife.

[WillyT]

14. ROFLMAO !!!

Shhh...

I swear, I won't tell.

[MADem]

30. So does Lawrence O'Donnell. nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. I'm a fan of Joy Ann Reid - but she isn't that prominent ... yet

She was just on Lawrence O'Donnell's show. She doesn't waste saliva like some and has the ability to nail home a point in few words. I hope she eventually gets a shot. Laura Flanders of Grit TV is another one I like, other than the ones mentioned above by the other posters who are worthy picks.

[sabrina 1]

25. Laura Flanders and Keith Olbermann and of course Bill Moyers.

Thanks for mentioning Laura Flanders we need to see more of Grit TV and/or she should be on MSNBC and/or Current.

[corkhead]

16. He says he's only a comedian, but I would include Jon Stewart, and perhaps Steven Colbert

[Bozita]

17. In the "Up and Coming" category, I'd like to nominate ... Martin Bashir

Most tenacious interviewer on cable television.

[WillyT]

18. + 1,000,000,000... What You Said !!!

So true.

[Lugnut]

19. Absolutely!

Martin is right up there in Rachel Maddow territory.

[RKP5637]

31. Yep!!! n/t

[BlueIris]

20. Uh...Moyers. And does Michelle Martin (NPR's Tell Me More) count?

That's about all I've got for now.

[Tennessee Gal]

21. Add Chris Hayes. nt

[sabrina 1]

26. Chris Hayes, yes.

[mfcorey1]

22. Bill Press

[dmr]

24. For pure intellectual & analytical thinking -

Rachel Maddow
Chris Hayes
Matt Taibbi
Bill Moyer
Richard Engel

and for added fun, I'll add Lawrence O'Donnell

[sabrina 1]

27. Yes, Matt Taibbi and Jeremy Scahill.

[Raine]

28. Dan Rather, so honorable he lost his anchor job because he wouldn't compromise. nt

Amy Goodman
Bill Moyers
Sam Seder
Cenk Uygur
Chris Hayes

These people write and say stuff that makes sense to me:

I don't follow Thom Hartmann much but I think he is good too.

[lillypaddle]

The independent media has some incredible journalists/commentators.

[GarroHorus]

41. OUTSTANDING LIST!

[Blue_In_AK]

38. Paul Krugman, Amy Goodman,

Bill Moyers, Shannyn Moore (local), Rachel Maddow.

I can think of more, too, but these come to my mind first.

[WillyT]

39. Pretty Good List So Far... Very Few From The MSM, No ???

[GarroHorus]

40. Take Uygur off oyur list.

I have no respect for him whatsoever and do not consider him anywhere near honorable.

The others I can at least respect.
