What really bothers me about the post-debate coverage

is that it's all about the war of words between Hillary and Trump, and Trump saying yet another stupid thing -the bathroom comment.

No. That's not what media should be talking about, and that's not what we should be talking about.
Post-debate coverage should be about policy differences between the candidates who were on the stage.
What are they even doing? Did Hillary have a debate with Trump? No. She debated Bernie and O'Malley.

Hillary's not running in general election. She's running in the democratic primary. And yet, the coverage is all about Hillary vs Trump war of words about ISIS and Islamophobia.

Real discussion should be about the GLARING differences between Bernie and Hillary on foreign policy, more specifically, the idea of regime change, which makes all the difference in the world (quite literally).

This type of discussion would be tolerable to me, although I don't agree with Hersh's assumptions about democratic nomination.



But, the corporate media? It's not that they are just dumb. They are actively trying to dumb all of us down.

Frankly, I'm not upset about what Trump says. I simply cannot get upset about all the stupid things he spews out of his disgusting mouth every 5 seconds on corporate media. How could I? It's almost physically impossible. I just really don't care. I'm not interested.

I'm interested in real discussion on policy ideas.
Again, media should be talking about the differences on policy ideas between leading democratic candidates, which are their ideas on regime change, and single-payer health care system, among others.

Democracy Now: Is DNC Afraid of Democracy?




"...It wasn't the DNC that shut down the debates. It was Ms. Schultz. There was no meeting. There was no notice. There are no minutes. All the other members of that committee never got to...at least two vice chairs have come forward and said that they have read about it after...[on the database contract] the contractor company...Schultz's nephew was a principal...all of the principals have worked...for different Clinton campaigns..."

Which republican candidates would you like to see disappear?

Now that Lindsey's gone

Personally, I'd like to see Santorum drop out already.
Fiorina I'd like her gone but she doesn't seem to be going away. Ted Cruz as well.

Killer Mike: "Stay confronting bullshit at every turn."



I'm beginning to realize how inspiring that phrase really was.


We have been confronting bullshit the whole time, ever since Bernie announced to run.
The debate this time around presented us with yet another load of bullshit for us to confront.
The days before the debate we saw a mountain of bullshit coming at us.
I'm pretty sure tomorrow we'll confront brand new bullshit uttered by somebody somewhere (possibly on MSM).
I'm also pretty sure that we'll keep encountering bullshit until the first primaries, and if he wins those, until the next ones.
It will go on and on and on and on.


And I think we have no other choice, but to "keep confronting bullshit at every turn."

Bernie defended Hillary on national TV against false scandal


So I ask Hillary supporters, why not return the favor?

Why not choose to be decent about it, and speak out against it? Why not call out the false scandal and suggest that our candidates compete on ISSUES fair and square?

Like Bernie did for your candidate.

How many times?



Just how many times did MSM broadcast live Trump's "speeches"? How many times? As if he's saying anything newsworthy, ever.

And how many times did Bernie draw crowds in the tens of thousands? How many times did MSM broadcast them live?

Trump is Frankenstein's monster. And supposedly "liberal" media, along with the republican party, is responsible for creating that monster.


I can't stand it anymore...


I remember Jon Stewart saying he's a turd miner. Really, what the media do, at this moment, is just creating turd. All they do is bullshitting all day long.
And while the new media is certainly getting more and more important, it's really frustrating to have no one on TV calling BULLSHIT on all the bullshit we're hearing particularly with regard to the primaries.

It's Erdogan getting nervous and NATO enabling him

because NATO would love to have a proxy war with Russia. But, I think Obama himself has become quite sick of Turkey, hence, no cover-up for Turkey; under the disguise of coalition bombing, Erdogan has been attacking Kurds all along (who are some of the most effective fighters on the ground against ISIS) for his own political survival. After the Paris attack, Obama seems to have struck a potential deal with Putin, resulting in the release of information as to which states are financing and backing ISIS. Turkey is one of them. Erdogan has been giving free pass on the terrorists crossing over on his border from Europe to Syria (one of the ring leaders of Paris attack has been going back and forth through Turkey about 5 times this year alone), he's now getting cheap oil from ISIS-captured areas, add to the fact that he's always been more than happy to start something at the behest of NATO to see Assad go. You might recall a UN report that came out in 2013 about Turkey's attempted false flag operation. But as I remember, the voice file got leaked, which was followed by Erdogan's measures to ban YouTube in Turkey. I think Obama is at least now trying to stop the madness going around in the world that is now affecting Europe in serious ways, which requires working with Russia at this point. And I think he knows that. I think he's realizing now that America's so-called allies in the ME are not doing him or world any good...
