The US Corporate Media and its reporters are Vladimir Putin's Bitches.....

Hope they can sleep at night as they betray this country again....
like they did during the run up to Iraq...when they were George W. Bush's bitches!

Russian Media is Putin's Old Bitch. He's found a new one in ours!

Great article on how Putin owns the Media in Russia outright.....Which is why they call him their President instead of what he is; a Dictator!

Is Corporate Media paid to provide election advice to the Trump Campaign?????

Seems like the few times I turn the Television on to watch politics, the reporters are talking disapprovingly about if only Trump said this or that about Hillary Clinton...he could close the gap. In fact, these various talking heads and reporters are constantly lamenting that Trump is not attacking Hillary the right way. That he should be talking about the Clinton Foundation, or that there might be merit to attacking her on emails...if only he would stop saying things that he has to defend, and just do the attacks the right way!

I didn't realize that our media exists in order to offer maps to a Republican presidential candidate how he should be attacking the Democratic candidate in the race. Is this new?

As well, every few sentences in, these Reporters have to remind us that we aren't supposed to believe Hillary is not truthful.....or honest....
Each time I hear them say it.....I ask myself, why do they feel compelled to continue to suggest that this is what we should think? Unfortunately, there are too many viewers who don't even have to think this on their own, cause the media makes certain to mention it every 5 minutes, without any evidence whatsoever! And I'm noticing that after Trump attacks the media (which is often), they have started calling themselves "The Liberal media" now, while they kiss Trumps ass and continue to give us this bizarre new normal we call Trump, the biggest dishonest liar of them all....and yet, the media doesn't every 5 minutes talk about how big of a dishonest liar he is!

This shit stinks, and is blatant! I want my 1st amendment back. The press we have today doesn't deserve any constitutional protection, IMO!

SUBLIME

Speech from our awesome President! 🇺🇸

July 27, 2016

Does this seem to make sense to you?

I'm referring to Josh Marshall'S article on Trump/Putin which I posted on my FB....

my good FB friend responded by writing this....

"I have read it. Here is something to consider about his EastEastern European financiers in relation to the exception taken by Trump about Mexico:
The suppression of Mexico by "building a wall" is rooted in seeking to suppress the Mexican drug trade to the benefit of the drug traders of Eastern Europe,Turkey and Afghanistan. The Russia mob has been growing poppies for opium and heroin production since before Russian invasion of Afghanistan.
Trump tightens southern borders, enabling Russians to transport drugs over Canadian borders and even Alaska."

This is the article I had posted....

"Someone said" the media is in Hillary's pocket?

Me think not whatsoever, not even one lil' bit.....

I watched a couple of news programs for a short while today, and they told me all I needed to know
to conclude that "someone said" is out to lunch!

See....
What I learned from our Corporate media in just those few minutes (that I can't ever get back) is:
About her unfavorable numbers - no perspective that Sander voters are all up in those numbers.....for now,
How Sanders' favorables are so much higher than hers, without perspective that Sanders hasn't been attacked about anything by anybody,
About how close Trump and Hillary are in "zee polls" for the General election - no perspective that there is still a primary going on whether I like it or not, and those polls are being affected by those Sander voters who want the polls to turn out as they have.
About how maybe Democratic voters will "change" their mind, and vote Sanders; without any perspective told of the impossibility of Sanders winning anything no matter.....

What I didn't hear from our Corporate media:
About Sanders' missing tax returns that he promised to provide but that we are still waiting for,
About Jane Sanders and her daughter's role in that Vermont University Shut down,
About Sanders FECC filing issues and why there is an issue, and what he's gonna do about it,
About how Sanders CANNOT win, and his campaign is all but broke,
About how Trump is using F*cking racism and free media advertising to gain votes,
and
who exactly set up and will be paying for these "rallies" set up for the old 1968 Democratic National Convention redux in order to make Trump President a la Nixon....is it Broke Sanders, or low life Trump?

That's why I ain't watching no F*cking media....
As these elections are all a great big joke to them.....Cause they are getting their paychecks
and their children's future is all but assured....

and for those who believe the Corporate media is in Hillary's pocket,
well then PIGS DO FLY AND UNICORNS FART RAINBOWS!

The hidden history of Black Jockeys

How did black achievement become erased from Kentucky Derby History? Check it out!

African-American horsemen played a vital role in shaping early American turf history, and the Kentucky Derby is no exception. The history of the Kentucky Derby and African-American horsemen are intertwined. The Derby and Churchill Downs owe a great deal to these men who helped shape America's greatest race. Thirteen of the 15 riders in the first Derby were African-American, while African-American reinsmen won 15 of the Derby's first 28 runnings.

But the decline of black jockeys in the Derby and the rest of thoroughbred racing is intricately tied to the history of race and economics in the U.S., experts said.

The early dominance of black jockeys was a result of Antebellum customs. In the time of slavery, enslaved people were often the caretakers of horses on plantations, said Teresa Genaro, freelance turf writer and founder of Brooklyn Backstretch.

Oh Sh*t! Hillary evidently likes Hot Sauce on her food....

Cause that's what she said today, and also back in a 2012 Interview when she wasn't running for anything!

Who exactly are these “Freeloaders” and “Welfare Queens” the GOP still blames for the US deficit?

REPUBLICANS have unabashedly, for years and years, identified Freeloaders and Welfare Queens as minorities and illegal immigrants. GOP voters have sent each other chain emails for as long as we have had emails, detailing and decrying the many benefits Minorities and undocumented immigrants enjoy in this country, while implying that it is working White America who is left to foot the bill. As recently as 2012, Mitt Romney blamed his loss in the presidential election due to Barack Obama promising gifts to Blacks, Latinos and young people.

Even today, we hear of claims that undocumented immigrants are costing millions/billions to the US treasury, in Sen. Ted Cruz and Mr. Trumps’ stump speeches to their resentful angry GOP supporters. In fact, Sen. Cruz proposed legislation to ban any welfare benefits to undocumented immigrant families.

Fortunately, the widely held assumption by too many Americans as to who takes advantage of welfare and other government benefits is FALSE. In fact, undocumented Immigrants, in terms of government benefits, cost us very little.

As to which Americans receive Governmental benefits, the truth is that Whites are more likely to receive Food Stamp benefits than African Americans or Latinos, and According to the New York Times blacks comprise 22 percent of the poor, but blacks only take in 14 percent of government benefits. Conversely, Whites make up 42 percent of the poor, but take in a disproportionate 69 percent of government benefits.

During this election season, one of the Democratic Candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I), has promised that if elected, he would enact additional government benefits for all Americans, including free public college tuition and Single Payer National health care. Sanders proposes paying for these new programs by increasing the taxes paid by corporations, Wall Street, and most working individuals residing in the United States.

Meanwhile, Sec. Hillary Clinton is offering a different approach. She does propose fixing some parts in the existing Obamacare healthcare law, while proposing to make community college free (including books and transportation), and dramatically reducing student debt, but she offers to get this done by raising taxes on only 02% of Americans, and closing corporate loopholes in order to increase tax revenue to pay for her proposals.

So of the two candidates running on the Left while using Republican stereotypical Logic, it would follow that the alleged Welfare Queens and freeloaders would support the candidate who offers the most in government programs, regardless of cost to taxpayers. This stereotypical mantra would then have to assume that most minorities would then surely support Sen. Bernie Sanders.

But in truth, that is not what is happening, as I have discussed before

When one reviews who supports Sen. Sanders vs. Sec. Clinton, what is found is the demographics of Sanders support appears to be White millennials, and a high percentage of White men. In contrast, an overwhelming majority of Minorities are supporting Secretary Hillary Clinton, as well a high percentage of women and older Americans voters.

So what does this mean?
Well based on the the above information.....
The below is what the Republican's identified targets to call Welfare Queens and Freeloaders typically should look like...
So the GOP needs to make sure to keep that representation in mind for future references.
