Corporatist America





A battle over the budget is closing our schools, our libraries, firing our teachers and taking away collective bargaining rights. While the banks and largest corporations are also not paying any taxes, including Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, and GE. Protesters today gathered in NYC's Union Square for the Sound of Resistance protest. The Nation Institute's Chris Hedges weighs in.

Al Jazeera used to fit this bill and I still watch because they have incredible documentaries.
Unfortunately, our msm is full of crap. I dont watch them and even find myself avoiding posters who continuously mention msm so called journalists and pundits...like what Joe Scarborough said this am, or what hannity thinks, etc. The truth is out there..easy to find actually if one has an interest.

Apparently Republicans and George W. Bush did not have such good educations. Watch Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 and you'll understand. TRY DEMOCRATS INSTEAD.
