Facebook-stalking, Media Race Fail & MSNBC clips on Tea Parties, Google

[Ari Melber]

Hey all --

Here are two recent pieces I wrote, about Facebook's new Places program and the media's role in some of the racial storylines this summer, and videos of two MSNBC appearances about the Tea Party and Google CEO Eric Schmidt's advice that people change their names to improve their reputation online. Thanks for reading, Ari
