ECHO CHAMBER PROJECT: So why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself and what type of freelance work that you do.
ROBERT DREYFUSS: My name is Bob Dreyfuss. I live in Alexandria, Virginia. I've been a freelance journalist in the Washington area for about 12 or 13 years. And I write for really 4 or 5 regular magazines, and then some others. I'm a contributing editor or writer at Mother Jones and The Nation, The American Prospect, and also I write a lot for Rolling Stone. Those are my basic magazines. I really cover everything. I've been doing Washington politics and features and profiles for all that time. But actually for the last 2 years I've been focusing pretty heavily on Iraq and the Middle East since it became the main story of the day. So I've done a number of investigative reports on the run up to the war, and the whole sort of post-war quagmire, and who's to blame and how we got there.
