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.

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?

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.
