Editorial Reviews:

The American Prospect is a magazine of policy and culture. Writing from a progressive perspective on everything from health care to Head Start, from movies to the Middle East, from class to classic books, and labor movements to labor pains, The American Prospect aims to influence the debate in the corridors of Washington, the boardrooms of corporate America, and the living rooms of private citizens across the nation.

Summary: Excellent response to the right-wing elite.
Comment: The American Prospect was founded by Robert Kuttner Obama's Challenge: America's Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative Presidency and Robert Reich Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America, both important thinkers in their own right. While it isn't as radical as I think our analysis needs to be in this time of ecological and economic meltdown, The American Prospect is consistently thoughtful and provides a very helpful response to the endless barrage of right-wing PR in the service of corporatism and militarism The Corporation.
The current issue features a cover story on a constructive development in cable news, that is the rise of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. Openly gay, and politically astute, Maddow is a breath of fresh-air on the tv tube which has been so dominated by men. The article notes that Maddow is currently working on a book about the militarization of the United States The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives. I'd like to see the American Prospect include the occassional radical like Angela Davis Abolition Democracy: Beyond Prisons, Torture, and Empire Interviews with Angela Y. Davis (Open Media), Michael Parenti Contrary Notions: The Michael Parenti Reader, or Winona LaDuke New Perspectives on Environmental Justice: Gender, Sexuality, and Activism. Nevertheless, the Prospect does a great job of responding to the misinformation efforts of journals like The Weakly Standard and the National Review.
