Prof. Jay Rosen, teaches journalism and directs the Studio 20 program at NYU, critiques the press and studies new media. And he 'mindcasts' on Twitter.  

In this rare and sill timely Sunday special, Rosen and Stuart Zechman talk about the ideology of the press, the brand that is David Broder and Third Way Democratic constructs about social safety net programs.

They begin from Prof. Jay Rosen's PressThink post "Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right: On the Actual Ideology of the American Press" ( http://archive.pressthink.org/2010/06/14/ideology_press.html ), and Stuart's response in commentary ( http://archive.pressthink.org/2010/06/14/ideology_press.html#comment53936 ).

In hour 2, Jay Ackroyd and Stuart Zechman reflect and comment further.
