Crooks and Liars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crooks and Liars is an American political blog founded by John Amato (b. 1958), with liberal political leanings. Along with John Amato, frequent contributors include Nicole Belle, Steve Benen, Logan Murphy, and Howie Klein.

The blog first appeared on the Internet in August 2004, and contains an audio and video archive of political events, television, and radio shows. Originally it only retransmitted audio and video of these events; however, in late 2005 it began to distribute original material, in the form of audio interviews.

Along with a variety of clips from television news media, the site frequently features clips from cable programs such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Hardball with Chris Matthews, The O'Reilly Factor with Bill O'Reilly, and Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

Crooks and Liars received the "Best Video Blog" blog award at the Weblog Awards in 2006 [1], and a "Best Weblog About Politics" at the 2008 Weblog Awards.[2]
