2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartman Just Had A Man Named Sam Smith On [View all]ChiciB1
(15,435 posts)Sam was actually talking about on Thom's show. This is the part I missed and when I went back to watch it my ROKU kept acting up. I tried FSTV and it wouldn't load either so I had to wait until I could connect. Mind boggling and pretty disgusting as far as I'm concerned.
AND now I guess Bill is coming on scene for Hillary, the tag team to beat back against Trump for starters. Sometimes I think it's fine that Bernie doesn't get all the attention on MSM because I feel many, many people have no idea about how many supporters he has. I DO think MSM knows and they're doing EVERYTHING they can to basically IGNORE his existence! This, in and of itself is truly UN-Democratic, small "d" on this one.
What blows me away is the fact that far too many aren't realizing that they are being played like a fine tuned fiddle. UNFORTUNATELY, and I say this because I recall a time when there was at least the appearance of one on one debate on any given show. These days it's ONLY what THEY want you to hear! Not much difference now between how FAUX NEWS works. It's a testament to how much POWER they have and how willing people are to accept this as NORMAL! Total manipulation leads to TOTAL MONOPOLY and that's where we're at.
The FOURTH Estate that Thomas Jefferson felt was so necessary has simply been bought by TPTB! All too normal to the UN-INFORMED, who think they're really INFORMED! Oh what a tangled web that's been woven and it should scare "we the people" MOST OF ALL! But I guess "not so much' anymore!
I have to wrap this up, I've read so many links the past two days that I'm about ready to hide under my bed so THEY DON'T find me and take me away!! A thought just ran through my brain about names of journalist who simply "went away" by some accident or unexplained reason. Then of course I always think about Paul Wellstone and the airplane accident. That was shortly after Clinton was elected as I recall. AND, it happened on my birthday too! October 25th so many years ago! We MUST help Russ Feingold all we can. I don't think he played their game, he lost his last election.
I know I was stopping... enough now!
and to those of us who see through the smoke, fog and mirrors!
