Changing my home page to the Chicago Tribune -

[TBF]

really sick of looking at photos of Hillary on the NYTimes. They do say "he probably can't get elected president" but I think they're wrong about that. They sum up his connection with the people nicely though (and that's the reason I think he can win!):

Here is the story from the Trib (you may have to register to see it): http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-democratic-debate-clinton-sanders-edit-1014-20151013-story.html

Editorial: Bernie Sanders' night: Authenticity wins the Democratic debate

Democrats have a surprisingly competitive race for their presidential nomination, and if you watched their announced candidates debate Tuesday night, you saw why. Not because the candidates, like their Republican counterparts, spent much time and effort attacking one another; they didn't. And not because Hillary Rodham Clinton suffered grievous wounds or damaged her standing; she didn't.

No, what came closest to electrifying the night was a Vermont senator, a self-described democratic socialist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and who probably can't get elected president. Bernie Sanders demonstrated time and again Tuesday night why he's the force vector in this race. If you watched, you now know why he attracts the huge crowds, the money, the energy of rank-and-file Democrats — a party to which he doesn't even belong.

You also know why he gives Clinton conniptions. While she behaved like the front-runner — confident, competent, comfortable — Sanders was connecting with the audience. He even managed to profit from a Clinton problem while tacitly excusing her from it: "The American people," he said, "are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!" Sanders wanted to talk about issues that trouble Americans.

1. You will be sorry

As a Chicagoan I have to tell you the trib is mostly a republican rag. The only dem they have endorsed in over 100 years was Obama and that's because he was from here.

I'm voting for Bernie. But, you will have an eye opening experience if you believe the trib is pro liberal dem.

However you should enjoy the pages where the Cubs kick some ass!

3. I'm from Wisconsin originally but

don't really have a favorite baseball team although they are all really excited for the Astros down here (I'm in Houston now). I still hate the cardinals after that one run against the Brewers back in the 80s though - so if the Cubs beat them I can get aboard the celebration!

2. I don't know what I'm changing to

but I sure am tired of the NYTimes shilling for her all the time...

4. Yeah, ultimately I may have to go with You Tube or something -

but today I'd rather look at baseball photos than "Hillary wins debate" captions ...

8. Maybe I could do my own youtube video

5. I go with these folks

https://feedbin.com/

They're an RSS platform. When people write news stories and blog posts, many of them publish the story via a protocol called RSS. So feedbin lets me build my own "newspaper" from a collection of decent sources instead of having to wade through the bullshit in any single newspaper's page.

So my homepage is a collection of Reuters news stories, and a bunch of political and technology blogs.

The downside is you have to find an RSS feed for sources you want to read. My current problem is the local news sources don't publish via RSS, so getting local news here requires using Time Warner's RSS feed from their "24-hour local news" station. And it's not very good.

Here's Reuter's RSS feeds page to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Each "section" of their paper has a feed, and you have an RSS reader "subscribe" to the feeds you want to follow.

6. Thanks - I will check it out! nt

7. Whatever they write, I'm 100% onboard for Bernie.

And I do believe he can win...I think these MSM types are either failing still to recognize his support amongst voters...or are doing it willfully.

I think there are going to be some shocking results come voting days.
