What is TPM?
Expanding on what mord mentioned, TPM stands for Talking Points Memo. TPM describes itself as "Commentary on political events from a politically left perspective, by Joshua Micah Marshall". To illustrate their leftist points of view, they are considered similar to Daily Kos, Think Progress, Huffington Post, and Washington Monthly. Now that's leftist!
Interestingly, in some cases, what TPM considers trash, JTF considers treasure. To the extent that I use the TPM November, 2009 video on Sarah Palin calling for the Jewish Settles to be allowed to expand, on my ZooTube Channel. In a way, it reminds me of the story of Balaam from the Bible. How something bad can be turned into something good:
