Taking On The System
Larry talks with the Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, the founder of the political blog Daily Kos. His new book, "Taking on The System: Rules for Radical Change in a Digital Era" describes the laws that govern today's new era of digital activism. In it he argues that in order to change the world you need to know how to manipulate the media, not just march in the streets.
