In reply to the discussion: So I think it is safe to say-the Alt Media ALL OF THEM owes me an apology [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)trouble with the altmedia (most are young) (as Joel Stein in Time called them "the me me me me" is, they have no reference
to anything beyond 2001.
And the altmedia don't interpolate very well either.Either that or they want ashes and don't care the day after.
BTW-they also say they are for Elizabeth Warren.
Don't they realize if one burns the democratic party down, there is NO Elizabeth Warren either?
This isn't Lord of the Flies.
btw, I am NOT a progressive.
I am a 60s,70s liberal
Same people who aren't me didn't like Lincoln or LBJ either, let alone John V. Lindsay.
And LBJ was far more liberal than JFK or RFK though I doubt they realize that.
And Dr. King was NOT political at all.
Did anyone care if he was a democratic voter or republican voter back then?
And Dr. King did NOT tear or burn anything down.
He built things UP and moved things forward.
NOT backward.
President Lincoln made the correct call when after the war, he moved FORWARD for the country and looked longterm.
He didn't want to have public hangings, move backward or think negative.
Stooping to that level gets nothing but 10 minutes of being back in the gladiator period with a gladiator and a tiger drawing blood.
Gains nothing.
Shame on the Alt-Media for now combining with the regular rightwing media.
