One thing that America greatly values is its free press…which is why its been locked up in a safe that’s hidden miles below the Earth’s surface. Filling in for it, we have a corporatized Mainstream Media which looks just like the real thing only less filling.

What does that do to the Petri dish of American society when injustice is virulent? Doesn’t it create an ideal breeding ground for the kind of racism, intolerance, chauvinism and venomous “debate” that has become so mainstream today?

It doesn’t matter whether Bin Laden is killed, the economy is recovering or diet donuts have been invented that reduce your cholesterol and make you lose weight, the GOP is bent (in many ways) on spinning every bit of good news into something terrible.

America has become one big cynical carnival of games but at least the GOP has even been considerate enough to throw in a number of clowns at no extra cost.

The Main Stream Media needs a tight race for the presidency to drive its reader and viewership. So coverage of the President’s tax return has been muted because the President puts his money where his mouth is.

In an unprecedented move, the Mainstream Media have announced that in order to keep the Presidential race the kind of competitive contest that Americans deserve, President Obama will now be blamed for the gaffes of anyone who ever supported or voted for him.

One thing people don’t mention about Romney is that he does not need to lie as much as he does.  Romney could have run a more honest and even moderate campaign and still won the GOP nomination because of the massively underwhelming field he was running against and he had [...]

That bastion of consistency and unswerving principle, Arianna (“I’m a Right Wing Republican-I’m a Progressive Democrat-I’m Neither!”) Huffington, proclaims that since the GOP has been falling down in it’s role of attacking Obama’s character and campaign, she and HP are taking up that noble cause.

The Rush Limbaugh Boycott…..success far beyond our hopes. As of Friday March 9, at least 61 sponsors had pulled their support from Rush Limbaugh’s daily rant and rave. On Thursday, Limbaugh’s program was practically devoid of paid advertisements. 86 spots aired. 77 were PSA’s, public service announcements donated by the [...]

The Best Apology from Limbaugh would be for Limbaugh to Leave the Air… His absence is the only “I’m sorry” that will do. IT IS TIME TO PUSH THIS CREATURE FROM THE AIRWAVES. WE NEED TO CALL, WRITE, CALL, COMPLAIN, BOYCOTT AOL Computer Services, online data backup service provider Carbonite, [...]

Here are top front page Hacklines (hack headlines) from the rich swamp of corporate tabloidism that now is The Huffington Post.

Just in time for the 2012 election PlanetPOV presents the new Periodic Table of Dangerous Elements. There are plenty of new infamous characters added but there are still some golden oldies on the table.  Some more notorious international figures were added as well but really you could make a whole [...]

What would happen if I listen, really listen to the news 24 hours a day? What would I hear from the different channels? Would it make me angry, happy, sad, disgusted? I asked myself those questions and decided, what the hell, I m going to find out.

    Oh,  for the fun of it, let’s  take another look.  Will tonight  be all Newt-Romney?          

Some say corporations are people. What if political parties were people? Could the GOP be clinically diagnosed as a sociopath?

Apparently, local media are now noticing what we have been talking about here for some time. For all the talk about President Obama facing “DOOM!!!”, he looks to be the only candidate with a real grassroots base and campaign infrastructure here in Nevada. But today, I don’t want to talk [...]

Today the so-called “super committee” failed to reach agreement on how to reduce the U.S. deficit. Here’s how the major news outlets presented the story. ABC News President Obama said today he will veto any efforts to get rid of the automatic spending cuts that will be triggered by the [...]

The 1% essentially owns many city governments in America. They have mayors and police forces as their army to defend their interests. This is “who” America really is. We’ve discovered that the friend we always thought was a nice guy has a very dangerous side.

It also helps that The White House has finally been succeeding in honing in on a strong economic message. Obama has had to figure out how to get past the obstructionist Congress to deliver his message directly to the American people. He’s had to deliver his own message while also allowing Americans to realize who his Republican opponents really are.

One way or another, America as we know it will end in 2012. We will be living in an America where a wealthy class is cemented into power and economic dominance over the majority or it will be an America where the majority rallies to retake their nation and democracy back.

A quick look into an Irish Presidential debate which I attended on the 20 October.

Romney’s callous disregard for families losing their homes through no fault of their own is bad enough but it’s also untrue that speeding foreclosures is good for the economy.

Decades of social movement scholarship has failed to answer the question of why movements happen when they do, though there doesn’t seem an end anytime soon to people trying to answer the question.

Here’s a a plan to destroy Social Security and Medicare, crush the poor and plunge most Americans deeper in debt just so that the wealthy can pay less in taxes…and the perpetrator becomes more popular?

When the London (and other English cities)riots rampaged earlier this year, I read with droll amusement, the armchair activist quarterbacks’ wistful comments in Huffington Post and elsewhere, basking in admiration and awe of what they thought they were seeing. Viewed from a closer range … like here in the UK … [...]
