I am one of the site’s Viral Curators, which means I pick awesome photos, graphics and videos that make your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other networks better for having seen them (as opposed to, say, another cat video!). To follow my work on Upworthy, go here.

Shout outs also go to my colleagues Adam Mordecai and Sara Critchfield, who curate meaningful content in the trenches with me every day.

For some background on how the project came to be, here’s what my boss, Eli Pariser, had to say about how Upworthy builds on the principles he put forth in his book, The Filter Bubble.

Compromise may be the name of the game in Washington, but if anything has been resolved in the past few weeks of unproductive, theatrical debt ceiling debates, it’s that politicians don’t understand the meaning of the word compromise. Government is at the extremes, with leading voices on the far left and the far right. This increasing polarization has hindered any progress on raising the debt ceiling and avoiding the first default in the history of the United States.

On this week’s Wilshire & Washington, Ted, Maegan and Kristen are joined by Jonathan Miller, a founding leader of the group No Labels, which encourages people to put their party labels aside and put what’s best for the nation first. In the midst of a budget blame game in Washington, where leaders seem interested only in producing solutions that will get them reelected rather than solving the grave problems the nation faces, Ted, Maegan, Kristen and Jonathan tackle questions about the power of moderates in Washington.

On this week’s Wilshire & Washington, co-hosts Ted Johnson, Maegan Carberry and guest host Matt Lewis, a Daily Caller senior contributor and editor of a new Palin book “Quotable Rogue” discuss the film and the impact it may have on the Palin narrative. Ted also speaks with “The Undefeated” director Steve Bannon, who hopes the film will make viewers question the narrative the mainstream media have crafted about Palin.

The film may not inspire a sudden change of heart in liberals who are not so fond of Palin, but it’s release right as the GOP 2012 primary field is shaping up brings Palin back into the spotlight. After the rumor mill had started to quiet over a possible 2012 Palin run, a Newsweek cover and other press about “The Undefeated” has only increased speculation and pushed Palin back into the spotlight.

Will the documentary entice independents to give Palin a chance? Does it signal interest in a 2012 presidential run? Are there any scenarios that predict Palin taking office in January of 2013? Find out what Ted, Maegan and Matt had to say this week on Wilshire & Washington.
