In the headlines this week: Michael Jackson is remembered, Sarah Palin resigns as Governor and Matt Taibbi exposes our government's corrupt ties with Goldman Sachs.  To discuss all this and more, we are joined on our media panel by Elinor Tatum, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the Amsterdam News, Joe Conason, National Correspondent for the New York Observer and a contributor to salon.com, and Rolling Stone Executive Editor Eric Bates.

Al Franken officially earned his seat  in the U.S. Senate by just over 300 votes last week.
