I've listened to Thom for years & years too. Always listened to "Brunch with Bernie" - Thom is a really astute guy. Very impartial, and what I would say is a true progressive. Now, maybe because he doesn't suck up to the "corporate party line" I realize some people might bash on him.

I'm not aware that he is affiliated with RT... is the implication that shows broadcast on RT are therefore "Putin propaganda?"

Granted I'm not up on the latest conspiracy theories, but it doesn't seem logical.

Wouldn't that be like saying Rachel Maddow is a "corporate billionaire mouthpiece not to be trusted" because MSNBC is owned by a billionaire? Doesn't seem to make sense.

Or is that like saying any news on Al-Jazeera is "terrorist" like FOX news/righties would say?

I realize it's not just a clean break teezy Mar 2017 #1
