Over the last years, Conservatives have made much mischief with their misuse of ballot inititiatives and done considerable harm to the general population in favor of the well financed wealthy elite.

I am intrigued by the formation of a new group called BISC, Ballot Initiative Strategy center.

Paricualarly given that the radical right has been able to enjoy the delusion that their views reflect those of "the American people" (how many times have we heard that from Mitch McConnell?) Ballot initiatives over progressive issues will let us all see what the real American people really want and what the 33 percenters are really all about.

Its verry hard to have a voice in the media when it seems to purvey the views of the uber rich in about every way imaginable.


I am seriously thinking of killing the cable since the news is so lobsided and even the dramas have a certain message.
I dont know why I pay to get dumbed down news and propaganda.

At least the Russian people knew Pravda was propaganda we americans have the illusion our media is free from influence.

I think you will see it work as well as air america.

Do you think the advertisers and marketing people would advertise on a program that exposes the BS?

Its no suprise the economic elite would poison the well of free speach.

I am rather shocked though that so many poor or lower middle class people articulate the case for the billionaires.

If it were not so totaly sad it would be funny.

I think it had more to do with the fact that the hosts were the ones spewing BS

Nobody cares about what happened to Air America. The programming is still going great, stronger than ever. Just like before.

Hmm realy ya think?

Do you trust the for profit media to tell it like it is or a non profit to tell it like it is?

I know who I would trust.

Funny you can say that. I hear them say a lot of stuff that I want to use in these threads. I never use them as a source, but I don't have to. Their material is always sourced in the legitimate press. Can't say that about the Faux News twaddle.
