I think Thom Hartmann will be highlighting DUs own Nance Greggs The Five Stages of Trumpism OP today. He mentioned the title in his opening.

(10,435 posts)He mentions reading DU. I cringe at some of the things certain people here say about him for his former TV show. Maybe that's why he used to mention DU more often. That's too bad, it is good exposure to his liberal audience

It's par for the course on DU, though. The NYT is liberal about 95% of the time, but those times when they say something moderate, or criticize a Dem, or let some dipshit Con have an Op-Ed, well, they must be condemned utterly! Cancel my subscription (for the 10th time)!

Once she got it in the paper, Dick could say; "Well, this is top secret, but since it's been published in the NYT, I can talk freely about Iraq's WMD Program, so as to prevent the next attack on America coming in the form of a mushroom cloud." Condi Rice also helped with catapulting the propaganda.

Just like Thom Hartmann has a failing - signing a deal w/ RT.

(6,829 posts)He did not catapult russian propaganda in the least. he did not advocate or support russia. he was clear he was going to say what ever he would on any other outlet, and thom had a lot of other media outlets. i think he was on it simply to grow his audience.
you guys make it seem like he was broadcasting commie propaganda for rt or something. that is not true. he Had total autonomy and total editorial control.
Thom's a professional journalist that adheres to the highest standards of journalism.
and back then russia wasn't any where near as monstrous and hitler-esque as pooty-poot is currently.
for what its worth. i gotta use my first amendment rights while we all still have them.

(33,422 posts)I'm a regular Hartmann listener when I'm commuting. He didn't change when he was on RT that I know of, but his presence there gave it legitimacy. At the start, it wasn't 100% clear that RT was a tool of Putin's disinformation efforts.
It's just a failing. Everyone has failings. Judith Miller failed. The NYT failed.
