Talking Points Memo (TPM) is a liberal political news and opinion blog created and run by Josh Marshall that debuted on November 12, 2000. The name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a "talking points memo" that was often discussed during the Clinton-era Monica Lewinsky scandal. By 2007, TPM received an average of 400,000 page views every weekday.
