Or were they all content to sit quietly and throw softball questions to these clowns doing yet another Trump fluffer...

All the US corporate media values is advertising revenues. And access to politicians.

I respect your position, but this video puts me in a counterbalance position to yours.
I think she is right on.

What are they so afraid of? The truth. I am so tired of our government acting against the will of the majority of our people.

Most deplorables couldn't care less. They just want violence and intimidation, especially against brown civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Most Republicans couldn't care less which type of brown person dies in fiery explosions, as long as our tax dollars are given to defense contractors.

Saudi Arabia has killed Americans on 9/11, on a Naval Air Station in Pensacola Florida, and around the world. But the GOP plan will always be to sell them more weapons (and training) and go to war with whoever they see as rivals, in this case Iran.

Somehow, this keeps us safe.

#IVotedForHillary was a trending hashtag a few days ago. You know who didn't? That woman right there.

Medea Benjamin sucks. Her "both-sides" routine actively harms the country and the world. 10s of millions of people are suffering because she helped convince people that there is no difference between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

People are wrong to support her, promote her, or lionize her. She would literally be banned from DU.
