Ratigan having excellent show on OWS - He actually went down
Fri, Sat and Sun (he lives about 5 blocks away). He's super supportive, in agreement, and offering good advice on how to move forward.

1. He's first rate wagonist
Jumps on every cause - I can't trust a CNBComcast hack.
He hs decent programs from time to time but I don't trust word out of his mouth

2. +1 He attacks Obama every time he gets a chance and wants to empower himself
with his little movement ... note that Republicans are the ones pushing his little movement and the progressives signing up have no idea what they're supporting.

12. Supportive coverage in the corporate media is a great thing
and you probably won't find anyone even half as tough on Wall St as Ratigan.

14. He does some good segments but he's a conservative
An admitted conservative. He cannot be trusted and his latest flirtation with third parties is an example.

15. There is no need to "trust" any one in the corporate media, even if the individual
is worthy of trust as an individual voice in specific matters.

Due to the system they operate in it is as silly to TRUST them as a politician, of any stripe.

4. Your bullshit detector is working. All those who are so enthused that
Dylan went down there, are skipping over the part of him saying that he was once a tea-partier, and also an Obama supporter. Dylan doesn't know what he is.

16. Do we want the media to support this or not?
Who cares what his career motives are, as long as he's covering it in a non-ridiculous light.

6. Well, If Anyone Had Watched Michael Moore On C-Span Yesterday...
you might have heard him say that he really SUPPORTS what Ratigan is trying to do. Perhaps many don't watch him all the time, and I'm not sure I've EVER heard him say he was a Tea-Partier.

I myself have been known to change my mind on issues from time to time, and I do believe most people have done it themselves. It's human.

Having said that, I'm sure I'm not going to change anyone's mind. I happen to feel he's trying to work toward getting our Congress Critters to see that they aren't on our side.

Outta here...
