A masterpiece -- THANK you, including for images -- and thank you for introducing the outstanding Jimmy Dore interview with Tucker Carlson -- Jimmy is a national asset.

Thanks glad you liked it. Jimmy is 100% right, until the left focuses on class exploitation, they are doomed ... and the single best asset the Republicans and Wall Street can count on.

Thank you but the Transcript of that wonderful interview on Tucker site in just horrible -- unacceptably horrible. He should invest a bit in correcting his transcripts, but I don't know how to reach his team... ;-((

Pretty much true. It's so scattered and pocketed in niche causes and caught up in the Democratic Party "lesser-evil" brain puddle. The Bernie Sanders and even the first Obama campaign showed the majority of the nation is pretty progressive but Obama was lying and Sanders lacked the spine. If a SINCERE FDR-type figure arose we could see real change. But there is nobody like that around.

Ideally, yes, but historically newspapers were aligned with the parties, even going so far as to use 'Democratic' and 'Republican' in their names and banners. What counterbalanced that was there were so many newspapers in even middle-sized towns. But now, the media has been pretty much corporatized and so many newspapers have gone out of business, including the one I worked at for almost two decades and the remaining one in that town is pretty shaky. All of the US media pushes the corporate line now.
