There are very few anti-establishment voices that are allowed on the MSM. How many times do you see Michael Moore? How about Noam Chomsky? Its imperative that progressives support the one or two instances when someone who shares our fears is granted time on the "public" airwaves, squashed inbetween Corpo-politicians and Celebrity "journalists".

I remember having a distaste for Ventura when he was a "wrestler" working for McMann. But I had a distaste for that whole macho fake posturing that was touted as a sport. I wouldn't give him two seconds of my time.

Then he became a governor and I had the same attitude. He was a buffoon just looking for attention, so I thought.

I don't know if he has matured in his thinking because I never listened to him back then, but in the last few years he has become one of the most knowledgeable and truth-to-power spokespersons out there. He is fearless. He has a few issues that I don't necessarily agree with, but on major issues he is how I wish desperately most Democratic representatives would speak out in the same fashion.

He basically puts to shame the MSM and their lack of journalistic investigation prowess. Which is why he does not get too much air time.
