Workers have no real voice in the US corporate controlled media. The rich talking heads are the only ones commenting, and setting the terms of what is allowable debate.

Even on MSNBC, the supposed liberal channel, many of the biggest names are GOP analysts who "explain" to us why actual change cannot even be considered.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I'm old. I own a house. That pretty much makes you a millionaire these days. floppyboo Feb 2020 #19

No. Owning a house doesn't make you a millionaire these days, except MineralMan Feb 2020 #21

It makes me a millionaire. I stand corrected. Shouldn't have generalized. floppyboo Feb 2020 #24

That's very nice for you. You are not typical of homeowners, though. MineralMan Feb 2020 #27

I should think its even less typical for people who didn't/couldn't get into the mrkt 35 years ago. floppyboo Feb 2020 #37

It's still feasible to buy a house today, as long as you are in a real estate market MineralMan Feb 2020 #39

Is America ready for a 'Socialist revolution"? left-of-center2012 Feb 2020 #11

Another non-response blanket smear. JudyM Feb 2020 #83

Only because you cannot answer it. Zolorp Feb 2020 #84

You haven't responded. Reflecting back the same smear is not a substantive response. JudyM Feb 2020 #85

And once aain, you ignore the elephant in the room Zolorp Feb 2020 #86

I did. I'll say the same thing I say to RW relatives who share FoxNews articles on Trump. ehrnst Feb 2020 #59

FAIR calls out more other biases and errors as well. progressoid Feb 2020 #61

That doesn't make them unbiased. They are clearly in it for Sanders. ehrnst Feb 2020 #63

This makes no sense. Everyone I know for Bernie is upper middle class, unitedwethrive Feb 2020 #42
