Tea parties. They're everywhere. Or at least you'd think they are if you turned on your TV this week. But what does the coverage--FOX news and otherwise--tell us about the media's interests? And are we getting any smarter when it comes to analyzing the financial crisis? Many would say no. And the media aren't exactly helping. These topics and reflections on  Obama's major economic speech on Tuesday from Jeff Madrick editor of Challenge Magazine and the author most recently of The Case for Big Government, Sam Seder co-host of Break Room Live, and Brandon Brice of Hip Hop Republicans on the media coverage of the past week.

Then, community organizing has become "cool" but will the Obama movement survive and flourish after the Obama electoral victory? Sally Kohn Director of the Movement Vision Lab at the Center for Community Change and Marshall Ganz lecturer at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government on lessons for organizers from the Obama campaign as well as the challenges and opportunities for grassroots activists when a candidate advocating "change we believe in" gets elected.

Last, we talked to Alexander Zaitchik, co-author of the article "Fake Teabaggers Are Anti-Spend, Anti-Government: Real Populists Want to Stop Banks from Plundering America," about conservative forces puppeteering the tea party moment.  He reported on the Tea Party events on Tax Day in Morristown, New Jersey, sharing his impressions of the rally participants - their concerns and proclivities.

Finally, this week's Got Docs, Made in L.A., follows the the story of three Latina immigrants working in Los Angeles garment sweatshops as they embark on a three-year odyssey to win basic labor protections.
