Every team needs its cheerleaders. And every movement needs its intellectuals, to weed through the misinformation and cull the most important bits of knowledge and analyze it for the good of the whole.
The Commentators serve that purpose, by writing, doing talk radio, appearing on TV, and generally making themselves useful by framing the debate in a forward-thinking, progressive direction.
These individuals are extremely important, not least because most of the commentators in our lives are either blatant corporatists like Chris Matthews or right-wing bloviators like George Will. It's good to have folks like Thom Hartmann and Glen Ford in our corner, clearing the way so we can see the forest for the trees.
The following are just a few of the commentators serving the progressive movement admirably in multiple forms of media.
