Stunning Satirical Sand Sculpture Wins Texas Competition

Media - The "Liberal Media" isn't.

The Mass Media Is Poisoning Us With Hate

"The fact that on most big issues the two major political parties are in agreement is ignored. The deregulation of the financial industry, the militarization of police, the explosion in the prison population, deindustrialization, austerity, the endless wars in the Middle East, the bloated military budget, the control of elections and mass media by corporations and the wholesale surveillance of the population by the government all have bipartisan support."

Media - Free Press

The U.S. Media Is in the Crosshairs of the New Assange Indictment

"It will be interesting to see how the U.S. media responds. It will be interesting to see whether Congress responds, especially since it could amend the Espionage Act and other relevant law in any number of ways to clarify what types of national security reporting should be regulated by criminal law. And more than anything else, it will be interesting, and hugely important, to see who wins and who loses in this battle."

Yes it will. My guess is old media will figure out a story line to bash those new kids and their Internets.


Media - Answers to Stupid Media Questions

Is the US media beating the drums of war on Iran? ..  Mostly.


Media - Just fucking Bad

How Jimmy Carter Laid the Groundwork for Trump to Go to War With Iran

He created the reactionary blueprint that still defines the rules of U.S. engagement in the Persian Gulf.

Blaming our Iranian policy on Carter is a fucking stretch. Sure Carter was there in the 70s but damn, that was 40+ years ago, and the times had changed. Obama had a deal that was working. Trump, Bolton, Pompeo, the neo-cons, Netanhayu, American right-wing media and American evangelicals blew it the fuck up. They are solely to blame for any deaths created by our actions.

The establishment bashing Bernie with stupid. 

The Worst 2020 Election Interference Will Be Perfectly Legal


Ds vs Rs

The Problem Is That Mitch McConnell Doesn't Give a Fuck About Ethics, Morality, or Law While Democrats Do - The establishment Ds don't realize this is a dirty fight, they still think rules apply.

Here's a good example.....Biden team says Trump's taunts 'beneath dignity of the office'. Do they really think Trump or his supporters give a flying fuck about the dignity of the office.

That's why I like AOC. She fights back. The left needs more like her. The D's need someone like her.

Today in Fascism

The poll, taken after the elections from April 17-30 and released on Friday, found that 40% of the American public has a favorable view of Netanyahu. - These would be the Trump supporters.
