Date Change: Changed the year of TPM's Polk Award from 2008 to 2007. See http://www.brooklyn.liu.edu/polk/press/2007.html for reference. ...It may be the case that the award ceremony was in 2008, but TPM is a 2007 award-winner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.167.48 (talk) 18:14, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:TPM logo.jpg

Image:TPM logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

copy edit lead

i removed "popular" from the lead. If this needs to be if not already done, it can be fleshed out further into the article it seems. --Tom 16:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i edited the type of blog, because it show view's from the left not the center.--Crt43 (talk) 03:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't TPMuckracker defunct?

And it had this alleged whistle-blower who claimed to leak classified stuff about the Bush administration. J390 (talk) 00:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Sullivan linked to a TPM story today, so I suspect rumours of its demise have been exaggerated. 75.111.68.33 (talk) 17:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TPM Political Leanings

I have to think that TPM is politically leaning left, as opposed to a neutral web-based journalism site. Is that accurate? Hires an editor (talk) 18:56, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since the truth has a well-known liberal bias, I would have to agree.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:26, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess that's the question. Is it reporting accurately information it comes across, or does it have a left-leaning bias? Or is it "left-leaning" because it's reporting the "truth"? Hires an editor (talk) 19:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it is well known that TPM is partisan agent with a byline. For instance, here is the Columbia Journalism Review's assesment: TPM is "center-left".^[1] XavierItzm (talk) 18:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some additional sources commenting on the political ideology of TPM: --Animalparty! (talk) 19:53, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Marshall, the founder of the liberal political news site Talking Points Memo...^[2]
TPM's origins as a left-leaning political blog could affect its credibility for some. "TPM is really an advocacy operation that has moved toward journalism," says Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism... Howard Kurtz agrees that Marshall hasn't hidden TPM's liberal slant. At the same time, he says, Marshall "seems to have incorporated a form of straight reporting that isn't driven by ideology."^[3]
For TPM and other progressive websites, there's a reason to have a real White House presence...^[4]
In much of its work, TPM exhibits a clearly identified political agenda. In this, it is no different from dozens of other blogs across the political spectrum. It distinguishes itself by mixing liberal opinion with original reporting by its own staff and actively seeking information from its readers.^[5]

Fox News Insider Source conflict

What is wrong with using Fox News as a source as per this edit?Hammerstown3 (talk) 09:33, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's not Fox News. It's O'Reilly, and his Talking Points Memo segment from his show. What specific text from his show were you citing? Xenophrenic (talk) 10:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
