Candy Crowley is such a blatant Republican hack!

First she sits down for a half hour chat with whiny face Rand Paul (He seems to be her guest about ever other week). Then James Baker gets to spew his garbage with no Democratic counter part for the rest of the hour. Crowley has dropped every pretense of being anything but a Rethug operative.

For the record, I have been watching Up With Steve Kornacki, but my husband had CNN on in his office. I couldn't help but hear what was going on.

Sadly if you want real news without editorializing, spin and bias you need to turn off the TV and do the legwork yourself.

If you have cable and need to watch TV then I suggest DemocracyNow on Free Speech TV. Thom Hartmann is also stellar but he certainly speaks with bias. Which just so happens is mine as well.

But she was upset about just politics being on. I turned the tv on to Headline news instead. Not sure if they are running news either, but i can't stand Crowley.

but a key difference between us and repugs is that repug billionaires will buy up the media even at a loss, to be able to spread their propaganda.

our side won't even own the great successes we've had like Obamacare and an improved economy. We run scared from ourselves. it's truly frustrating.
