Pravda was shut down in 1991. Komsomolskaya Pravda still exists, but it's just a tabloid and completely unrelated to Pravda.

Had Lew Rockwell (who doesn't appear on TV a lot) talking about inflation & MIC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szfQlyWa1vM
and today Jim Grant was exposing the Fed and the host had the good sense to ask about how interest rates were set before the Fed, and the host played a quick clip of Ron Paul, and copied one of Ron Paul's talking points that money is one half of every transaction. Check it out - here's today's full show w/ Jim Grant:

This is a very, very strong start for the show. I'm not sure the host herself is libertarian but she gives us major respect

I love Jim Grant interviews. How many people in a TV interview drop the phrase "in lay parlance" in the middle of a sentence.
