Yes, 30 min. and will be available streaming online sometime today I think.

There's an extended interview online with Zephyr Teachout:


In this extended interview, NOW talks with Zephyr Teachout, the former director of online organizing for Howard Dean's presidential campaign and current Visiting Assistant Professor at Duke University Law School. Teachout compares Paul's campaign to Dean's 2004 run. She also explains what Ron Paul's campaign is doing right with the Internet and what other campaigns can learn from Paul.

NOW: How might Ron Paul supporters change the way a candidate is judged?

ZEPHYR TEACHOUT: One of the things I love about the Ron Paul campaign is how it challenges mainstream media's idea of what are the right metrics of a serious candidate. Typically the mainstream and the blogosphere media says, "Well, somebody's serious if they raise a lot of money." Well, Ron Paul's raised a lot of money.

But there's still this real resistance to calling him a serious candidate.

PBS in itself isn't bad, it is just a non profit, and most of its local stations are non profits, it is the fact that they are funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a separate entity funded by the U.S. federal government. They should survive solely on donation and sponsorships.

The local PBS stations are different than the CPB, and they do rely largely on donations.... and if they get donations there will be more of an incentive for more Ron Paul coverage.
