see people as owed jack - what we do, as a nation, is invest in their well-being, their training and education, so we can reap the rewards, such as having the security and freedom to watch ignorant gasbags characterize what we do to help each other as greed. Reagan is dead, fool.

And, btw, when we neglect them, the only thing they have left to turn to is real estate swindlers. Our choice.

A non-violent political revolution.
We need one every so often, or the rich would own us, as they own so many of us now.
They try to take over by buying off politicians. Politicians like the money and say nothing.
I can explain more, but Noam Chomsky explains it better in his latest film "Requiem for the American Dream." It'll be on DVD in August.

me to stop."

Like something out of the films Broadcast News or Network.

Tweety isn't going to be with MSNBC for too much longer. He knew exactly what he was doing, and that was insubordination. Hurray for Chris Mathews! Finally, growing a spine.

Cenk went into how management, if you went where they do not want you to go, you would be told not to.

That's why Cenk, Keith, Dylan, and Ed are not there anymore. Which makes you question the spine or real loyalty of some who toe the line and remain.

to suppress Sanders campaign, how much more proof do HRC supporters need to be shown that their candidate is the candidate of the establishment and wall street. I am so sick of this shit man.

You really wanna measure who's got more FREE media? Sanders is at the bottom of that list, he was ignored even when he pulled off the largest upset in recent primary history. Come on now, no one is so blind as to not see this obvious fact...

I believe if we EVER get the Telecommunications Act back, some of our current talk show hosts will be glad to not be censored. A young man came this morning to fix our gas meter. He told me he watches the news long enough to hear the weather forecast. He also told me he was not going to vote. I'm sorta' quoting: "I was raised to believe that I should vote for the person who most characterizes my own beliefs." I left it at that, the guy had other places to service. But, it shows how we have allowed our Media to remain a sham, for the most part. Bernie's right, that we need a Revolution.

It appears that Tweety thought someone said stop talking but he was mistaken. Even if he was told to stop talking it would probably be just to make him shut-up for minute irrespective of the topic. Maybe he heard someone off set muttering under their breath.

Go to listen each weekday night at 6PM to Thom Hartmann's streaming news cast on the Internet.

Or catch it on Youtube later in the evening: "The Big Picture RT"

Very well produced. Dead honest. No bull$hit. May be the last remaining real nightly political newscast available to Americans now.

Is there something in the DNA of Bernie supporters that makes them think the world is out to get them?

Matthews has been on a mission since the beginning of the 2016 cycle to trash Bernie. One time he speaks positively of him and the producers in his ear explode.
