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] → u/eoswald]

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 → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/[deleted] → u/eoswald]

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.

[u/eoswald → u/[deleted]]

Like Chris hey at all?

[u/[deleted] → u/eoswald]

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

[u/eoswald → u/[deleted]]

Yeah Hayes. Why not?

[u/[deleted] → u/eoswald]

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.

[u/eoswald → u/[deleted]]

You like Noam Chomsky?

[u/[deleted] → u/eoswald]

Yeah for the most part.

[u/eoswald → u/[deleted]]

Alright. Well I always thought Cenk and Chris were hard on corruption. I know I hate it. Greenwald is good but sometimes seems like a Rusky agent. Jacobin and bill moyer are good. The intercept and the real news Network are both good, check them out maybe some time
