Thom is worth watching on any channel. Do you really think corporate media is going to run his show? You have to look in unusual places to find the gems. People like you . . . I just don't know. Open your mind I guess.

He mentions DU in the context of places people can go outside of the traditional media to learn what the candidates actually stand for.

And the plug for DU was excellent too! We have RT here in Switzerland but I can't figure out if it's RT America or just RT English. I can't find Thom's show on the guide. What time does he have his show on in the states? Maybe I can record it and see if it's RT America.

cheers! excellent video.

I'm talking Lawrence. He knows how to act the enlightened dem but really he is so totally establishment and takes out the knives when he gets an opportunity. He's a fraud. I had hope for Chris Hayes who is becoming unwatchable. A lot of people apparently don't watch him but I liked him. But he's been influenced into the company message. Also disliked the pandering, oh-so-cute Wagner. She was on Maher this week. I turned him off. I actually liked Farrow and am sorry he's gone. As for Chris Matthews, I can't tell you the last time I watched him and Rachel, too. She's one long ad for Hillary. I wonder if Hillary has to claim MSNBC in any way as on the payroll? And my admiration for Andrea - the one I thought was still the best - is long gone.

Next up: I don't know. We really need a fair and balanced media.
