'''''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.<ref name='nyt-blogger-rakes-muck'>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/25/business/media/25marshall.html?_r=2&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&ref=business | work=[[The New York Times]] | title=Blogger, Sans Pajamas, Rakes Muck and a Prize | last=Cohen | first=Noam | date=February 25, 2008 | access-date=December 29, 2024}}</ref> By 2007, ''TPM'' received an average of 400,000 page views every weekday.<ref name='cjr-josh-marshall-plan'>{{cite news | url=https://www.cjr.org/feature/the_josh_marshall_plan.php | publisher=[[Columbia Journalism Review]] | title=The (Josh) Marshall Plan | last=Glenn | first=David | date=September–October 2007 | access-date=September 8, 2007}}</ref>
