643. Dictatorship, Oligarchy and Democracy...

Sat Jul 9, 2016, 12:11 PM

Jul 2016

....which would a non-partisan student of political sistems attribute to current DU, Free Republic and Jackpine Radical? Which would the majority posters on each attribute to their own and to the other two. I have little doubt that these answers would be quite illuminating.

On a related note, I am currently a fan of Free Speech TV.
Back in the days when Kieth Olberman was popular around here I was a fan of MSNBC. I was also a fan of the radio version of Rachel Maddow back then. Then things changed. Kieth lost his job, Rachel decided it was a good idea to let big money decide what she could and could not say.

I no longer watch MSNBC. Sadly the very reasons I can no longer support MSNBC with my viewership has drifted over to Free Speech TV. IMO The Stephanie Miller Show is likely following in the footsteps of Rachel Maddow. There are still quite a few good shows to learn from on FSTV like Thom Hartmann, David Packman, Ring of Fire, and of course Amy Goodman's Democracy Now but if they follow Rachel Maddow's lead i will be done with FSTV as well. I am just not all that into propaganda.

My point is that my principles are not the things which have changed over these years, what changed was where i get my information from. You see, I DO believe in democracy. I know the difference between a dictatorship an oligarchy and a democracy.

I may not have the most refined bullshit sniffer at DU but as long as i let my knowledge of those three forms of governance be my guide, i think i will be ok in finding the places to avoid and the places to get my news and enlightenment.
