Stanford students, 4th grader ask Condi Rice better questions than MSM - 5/04/2009

A fourth-grade student and students at Stanford have recently questioned Condi Rice about torture, with video of one uploaded to Youtube and getting over a hundred thousand views.

"Washington Stakeout": previous examples of asking politicians tough questions - 3/15/2009

The website "Washington Stakeout" (link, video compilation here) has several videos where they ask newsmakers such as Pat Leahy somewhat tough questions. They're all from the leftwing perspective and involve impeachment, the Iraq war, and so on. However, they might serve as a bit of an example of how to do things if anyone wants to ask very tough questions about immigration or relat...

The website right.org is conducting a video competition seeking the best 30-second humorous video regarding the various bailouts.

John Sweeney can't answer union secret ballot question (card check, citizen journalism) - 2/05/2009

For almost two years, I've been trying to encourage people to go to public appearances by politicians, ask them tough questions, and upload their responses to video sharing sites. A month ago, I sent an open letter to a series of mostly Pajamas Media bloggers urging them to push such a plan, and none of them did. Instead, some pushed loony theories, some sat in a dark corner moaning (PW), and...
