@PoliticiansFor@jayrosen_nyu "Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media".
-Noam Chomsky
This is what happens when you buy politicians, and politicians buy the media. The Fourth Estate are supposed to be the public's watch dog. They turned into good little lap dogs.
@jayrosen_nyu I can answer this mystery in a few sentences. Corporations can give politicians money to fund their election campaign. Politicians spend money on advertising on television and news papers. These outlets are the most trusted journalist. Result: Media loves this campaign system.
Selling weed literally went from major felony to essential business (open during pandemic) in much of America & yet many are still in prison. Doesn’t make sense, isn’t right.
Noam Chomsky on Bernie Sanders: "It's common to say now that the Sanders campaign failed. I think that's a mistake. I think it was an extraordinary success, completely shifted the arena of debate and discussion."
@StellaBurnheart @chiefpenguin18@BenjaminPDixon@JayCarney@SenSanders How is that racist?
"Understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain, when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself. I'll walk on that picket line with you.." https://t.co/CIVGjJsWBb
@CBSNews Here's the Trump scam...he outbids the states for supplies, then he gets supplies and rations supplies to states he likes. He also sends the wrong equipment or defective equipment to states he doesn't like.
This is more extortion. He is a mobster masquerading as a president.
Not sure who this Kyle guy is, but he just completely turned the truth on its head. He thinks Bernie Sanders is in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry and the healthcare insurance industry. He is a self proclaimed mayor Pete volunteer. Gaslighting to the fullest.

@Chimos5CAD@KyleDomer@GH0ULD@PeteButtigieg It appears the @KyleDomer has blocked me. These "dark money" donors are funding a candidate that has consistently fought against big money interest. So they use a super PAC to funnel money to a candidate that wants to control their greed? Makes sense if you don't think about it.
@realDonaldTrump I am looking forward to you arresting John Bolton and all these loser Democrats for this illegal coup witch-hunt. Let them rot in a cell for their treasonous actions.
@bj_terhune@latimes If you cover how our campaign finance system actually legalized bribery, I would contribute. For two main reasons:
1 I believe your organization profits from this corrupt system, and recognize that you will need more contributions to maintain your Independence.
2 It's important.
@SunshineHappyP1@bj_terhune@latimes That is correct. But I don't need their service. There is plenty of free news out there. When I subscribe to any news outlet it is because they are independent. I contribute to @GuardianUS because it is a free service that does not sell ads to fossil fuel and healthcare industry.
@chiefpenguin18 @Havlou @eye2winner@KDavisGayFriend@amyklobuchar There is a way to end corruption. Article 5 convention to get an amendment to the Constitution. We need publicly financed campaigns to clearly identify corruption. Please check out these organizations.
