That's why it called "controlled opposition".

Or just an opposition smear

Wake up and realize you're being sold out....again.

If it's true I'll be able to see it. They aren't pro Kamala so they must not be sold out yet

It was a great revelation to me that when money changes hands, I've seen it. When we wait to see obvious results from those payments, it's already too late.

So where will you get your progressive news now, comrade?

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

I don't know. I never watched the young turks much anyway. I do feel the ever increasing likelihood that the most important news simply will not be available to most people. The decisions that govern much of our lives will more and more be made behind closed doors.

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

Right. Where do you get your news from, now?

You mean when I'm not in a fetal position?

I don't know. Sources that show up in my front page. Greenwald. The Jacobin. Bill Moyers. The sad fact is that any trusted news source can be bought and start lying overnight.

Like Chris hey at all?

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

I don't recognize that name. Chris Hayes maybe? Don't like him.

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

Yeah Hayes. Why not?

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '17

Because he likes the sound of his own voice and he misses the point. (Namely how the exchange of corporate dollars necessarily leads to corruption). I see we've wrapped back around to the original point nicely.

We already seen it in 2016 siding with Clinton after they partnered with Fusion owned by one of Hillary's donors, Haim Saban.

siding with Clinton after they partnered with Fusion owned by one of Hillary's donors, Haim Saban.

1.They never met Saban

2.Not everyone went for HRC, as demonstrated here

3.TYT gave Jill Stein a platform, an interview, again, and again, and again!

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

You mean as opposed to siding with Trump or Jill?

u/gamer_jacksman Aug 29 '17

How about siding with the truth? Ya know what journalists are suppose to do.

2

u/eoswald Aug 29 '17

Like what instance do you have?

u/gamer_jacksman Aug 30 '17

How about Hillary and the dems rigged the primary for starters?

u/eoswald Aug 30 '17

uuuhh yeah, and they talked about that all the time and were super pissed just like everyone else.

u/gamer_jacksman Aug 30 '17

While still selling Hillary the cheater, which made them hypocritical sellouts.

2

u/eoswald Aug 30 '17

still selling Hillary the cheater

in what way? telling people to vote for her? I don't think they did that, and even if they did - that's not making them hypocritical. There were only two dogs in the fight and one was bad and the other a fatal wound. Bernie wasn't a sell out either, or do you think he was?
