Bill Wolff, executive producer of the Rachel Maddow Show, does a preview of the night's show on the Maddow Blog. In tonight's preview, about 30 seconds in, Bill says, "The fellows from blogforarizona.com, very nice guys, said, 'You really ought to look into the story about the privatization of Arizona prisons.' . . . So we did, and . . ."
Heres the video.

I can't tell you how incredibly grateful I am that Bill saw the value in the story, then their staff researched the hell out of it and pulled all the threads together with the show's usual, awe inspiring journalistic quality.
Mike interjects: That is some serious journalistic class you are looking at there folks. Thanks, Bill and Laura and Rachel! While you are at it, check out the MaddowBlog's segment on Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle's backing out of appearing at an Arizona Tea Party event. Good stuff.

The Maddow show on CNN???? Wrong! It’s on MSNBC. I do enjoy Anderson Cooper on CNN. I think he’s their only serious JOURNALIST!
Journalism is something we need to raise from the dead, given the depth and breadth of talking heads, 24 hours a day on cable. Serious journalism only exists in a few places anymore – Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper! Long may they live!!
Where are you performing Dwight? This schtick on being incredibly uninformed may have promise…..considering Maddow runs five nights a week on MSNBC. Tune in, she’s respectful, factual and her topics are incredibly well fact checked. She even apologizes to her viewers when she gets something wrong. Granted you may want to watch the 8PM edition so you don’t miss Wheel of Fortune and all of those Republican campaign ads. 😉
The funny thing is , more people read Blog For Arizona than watch the Maddow show on CNN!
This story has been brewing for awhile.

In addition to the money they make imprisoning these people, they also get to use them as slave labor to manufacture products they then sell for profit.
They aren’t just prisons. They are factories that produce products sold for profit by the corporations that run them.
