Welcome to the #MajorityReport gateway. For more information about the chat, see below. To join the chat right away, enter a nickname in the following box (12 character maximum) and choose a server. You will need a browser that supports Java to use this client.

If you have trouble connecting with the Java client, first make sure that Java is enabled in your browser. If the applet loads but complains that your nickname is already in use, use your browser's Back button and try a different one. If the server you connect to says there are too many users from your host or complains about a missing "identd", try another server.

Alternatively, you can download a more robust IRC client from the list below.

#MajorityReport is a realtime chat channel that uses the IRC protocol on the Undernet server network. The channel is the most popular fan-managed chat focused around the nationally syndicated radio show The Majority Report, which is hosted by Janeane Garofalo and Sam Seder. Lively discussions about the show, other Air America Radio programs, and additional topics can be found at most hours of the day.

The #MajorityReport chat regulars maintain a pair of blogs to support the channel's activities and discussions. The meta blog concerns procedural details of the chat, while the link blog tracks links to news and commentary on the internet that are mentioned in the chat. These blogs are independent of the official Majority Report blog which is run by the show's talent and producers.

Participating in the chat is easy. To try it out, you can use the Java applet above, or you can download one of many standalone IRC clients that provide a more powerful interface. Some popular ones are listed here:
