Bill Moyers interviews Bernie: How corporations are buying our elections

"To understand what’s happening since the Supreme Court let corporations corrupt American democracy, look at Richmond, California. Chevron owns a petroleum refinery in the small city on San Francisco Bay. Now Chevron wants to own City Hall. The oil company has spent at least $3 million to boost an oil-friendly slate of candidates and attack the mayor and city council members.

On this weekend’s “Moyers & Company,” Bernie and veteran journalist Bill Moyers discuss what’s happening in Richmond and the impact of the court’s disastrous 5-4 decision in Citizens United which is rapidly converting our democracy into an oligarchy."

Bernie! I'd love to hijack FoxPropaganda & force their viewers to watch this. Instead, what they get is character assassination of Bernie whenever his name comes up.

(If this has already been posted, my apologies, I looked around & didn't see it.)
