On Sunday, March 6 from 12pm to 3pm EST, CSPAN2, also known as Book TV, will be hosting Jane Mayer to talk about her work. Jane Mayer is a staff writer at The New Yorker and most recently the author of a book Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right, which earned her an investigation by the former police commissioner of NYC and a smear campaign which fell flat fast.
I saw her interviewed by Charles Lewis, founder of the Center for Public Integrity and a fine investigative journalist in his own right, on Book TV on Saturday, February 28. You can watch it online at

Jane Mayer previously wrote The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals and was also on CSPAN with that book, interviewed by Washington Post reporter Dana Priest. You can also watch it online at

Jane Mayer has investigated the hidden springs and levers of how our political and military worlds work. She doesn’t pull any punches and can help pull the wool away from your eyes. I know I’ll be watching and listening.
