(5,272 posts)slightly deeper than the connection. Make a case based upon his show. Show me how his rhetoric has altered to affect this arrangement. Show me fucking something.
Yes, concerns about whether money influences content are real and legitimate. They should be considered with Hartman and TYT, and lo, every fucking pundit on corporate media, which, unless you had your head up your ass throughout the whole election cycle, made Trump. CNN FOX, hell all of them, MADE trump a viable candidate, and over the last 30 years that's just their crowning act. And you are worried about people on RT like Thom who are actually talking about the corrupting influence of money on our system of government?
Does he have blind-spot with Russia? Is he avoiding a conflict with the people who keep his show running? I don't fucking know, and I can promise you that when I listen, I'll keep that in mind, particularly when he covers or does not cover news related to Russia. But if you are listening to MSNBC or CNN or reading NYT or Wapo WITHOUT taking into consideration their parent companies and their corporate and state ties, then you are either oblivious to it, or perfectly fine with propaganda.
