Politics Done Right - Our failed media almost led us to war with Iran and beyond (VIDEO)



Anyone watching the news would think it is 2003 all over again. We have the Right Wing neocons out insinuating that the Iran Nuclear Deal is an existential threat to the United States and Israel. That is simply not true.

Support is under water for the agreement however. Why is that? It is simple. There is a well-funded misinformation campaign designed to lie and misinform Americans. As we all know by now fear is more effective than resolve or hope.

What is disconcerting is the involvement of a foreign government to influence our own government. Israel’s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has had undue influence on Republicans on this issue.

If our media weren’t derelict, two realities would be made known to the American public. Those on the right are simply lying. And the Republican Party has allowed a foreign government along with the neocons, the wards of the military industrial complex, to put their wants over the well-being of Americans.

What are your thoughts? Let’s talk. I will also be following our hashtag #PoliticsDoneRight on Twitter @EgbertoWillies. Give me a call, listen to the live stream, or listen to the podcast/vlogcast.
