AMERICAN VOICES WE SELDOM HEAR IN EUROPE

In order to properly follow the Occupy movement  from Europe, one must find alternative American voices through the Internet (the traditional fare here  is usually only CNN). Here are some alternatives:
Rachel Maddow, A much respected Rhodes Scholar; educated at Stanford and Oxford, is immensely clever, charming and humorous. She is the ultimate research-based reporter. In this episode she deals with the influence of Rupert Murdoch in British and American elections.
Lawrence O'Donnell, with extensive experience in government, has an insider's outlook. He was a Producer of the highly successful television series, The West Wing. He can be extremely direct. In this episode he tells Mitt Romney off (in no uncertain terms) for having used a quote of president Obama out of context. 

Ed Schultz is somewhat older, folksy and the champion of the working class. Just watch!
Keith Olbermann is known for his straight talk. Here he is telling mayor Bloomberg off.

UP WITH CHRIS HAYES
This is a weekend show hosted by the young, super sharp and brilliant Chris Hayes. His guests are always interesting and the discussions at the level of the best BBC panel discussions.
