I'm sure I'm on some kind of list now

This morning I did a brief (audio-only) segment with Russia Today, an English-language television news operation that broadcasts world-wide. The channel is state-owned and puts Moscow's spin on the day's news, but I figure that can't be any worse than last year's Fox News or this year's MSNBC.

The topic was wiretapping -- in particular, recent revelations about the NSA's eager eavesdropping schemes when it comes to Americans, with a super-special emphasis on journalists.

Not surprisingly, we didn't get into the Russian government's own enthusiastic endeavors in that realm, but it was fun to be able to say my piece. I'll have to wait and see how much gets on the air.

Maybe I'm confused by the coverage of the election by the British MSM or one of us hasn't been paying attention but... surely, nowadays in America it's seen as a good thing that you're a Commie?

Commie may be seen as good these days, but we like our reds domestically produced. Globalism -- even of the leftist variety -- is out of fashion.
