The Media

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.

The lesson from 2016 should be, nominate someone who is inspiring to voters and brings with them too little baggage to be buried under. The media types who are Republicans and lean to the center/right or right, are more preoccupied with filling the Dem nomination slot with someone reflecting their more conservative, establishment sensibilities. That is very different from picking the candidate most likely to beat Trump and best bring change to the country.

We know we're speeding towards the edge of the cliff and when we reach it, the two inch drop could kill us! If it gave us a heart attack. Which is what the wealthy and the media out there are trying to give us.

You're invited to join us tonight to watch President Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address and chat live in real time with fellow members during his speech.

For a little perspective on 2018, we invite you to take a stroll back through some of the events of this year through a gallery of graphics that were on PlanetPOV. Enjoy!

My father, a lifelong Democrat and a fervent union supporter, always maintained that even the Left had its limits. "Go far enough to the Left in your opinions," he'd always say, "and before long, you'll find you're someplace on the...

Hillary Clinton explained her position against taking positions as a reflection of her strength as a candidate, "Someone has to have the courage to take a stand not to take a stand!"

"The folks at Fox News have been fantastic, it's really a great fit for me," Satan stated. "I think we're on the same page which makes working with them seamless."

The people have the right to expect that those they elect are held to a higher standard than Mafia bosses (which may be why Christie has pulled his nomination of Whitey Bulger to be Attorney General).
