Breitbart was always a fake media outlet propped up by losing ads.

Breitbart lost 90 percent of its advertisers in two months: Who’s still there?

The number of advertisers on the alt-right site Breitbart.com has dropped 90 percent in recent months, from 242 in March to 26 in May, according to data from MediaRadar, a New York firm that tracks online advertising. Among those that continue to advertise on the site include a gentleman’s club in Northern Virginia, a golf resort near the coast of Spain and the conservative foundation Judicial Watch.

Depends on the channel; you can't watch Robert Reich without ads popping up every 5 minutes, but the rest of them get almost no ads served.

Cenk Booger. Fake liberal news blogger fumes about corrupt Democratic elite and how they murdered Seth Richards. Bought and paid for by the conservative right and now that he's not needed, no money for him. I hope he goes broke. Then dies slowly without hope.

This isn't the first time you've accused those to the left of the Democratic Party of being conservative.

Bring unsatisfied with Democrats does not make one automatically conservative.

It's fact. Cenk pushed the fake right wing story about Seth Richards. I don't believe Cenk is stupid. He knew the story was fake. Advertising dollars and all that. What a corrupt bitch.

It sure as fuck helps the other side though.

Especially in a close election.

There is always a better choice in every election. Never, ever are the choices equal. Never. Well, maybe in the fake news.

I realize my political views are unconventional.

I believe we're living in a time when the two major parties have been co-opted by the very richest, thanks to Buckley v Valeo, Citizens United and more.

Progressive Movements have made a big difference in the past when major changes needed to be made in society.

I also believe this is one of those times, where income and wealth inequality have mushrooms beyond all reason or sustainability, where the status quo is maintained by an increasingly aggressive police force at home and military abroad.

Fascism is one solution, leading into another scenario like that leading up to WWII, and it seems we are heading down that road with our leaders being elected because they're 'strong' if not particularly honest or concerned about the well being of the average citizen.

I think that taking the country to the Left is another solution, one that bouys the lives of many more people than just the rich at the top. Raising taxes on the wealthy and the corporations that enrich then, infrastructure improvements that benefit large swaths of the population, and importantly breaking the connections between money and Government are all steps that would usher in another Golden Age of American Prosperity.

No one needs a fortune of billions. The difference between millionaires and billionaires isn't measured in quality of life; rather it's all about concentration of power and the ability to impose one's will on others. That's an unstable paradigm with a bad end, one in which many, even millions, suffer. Such are the lessons of history.

If it means that the majority parties lose votes, well, that seems to be what it takes to get them to pay attention to the needs of the people, as opposed to the donors.

I didn't know that but seemed obvious to me that Cenk was bought and pad for by right wingers to spread their propaganda to the loony left.

I'll look that up. Thanks.

Some of the other shit @ttystikk and @Padawanbater2 say rings of right wing propaganda too. They are soo susceptible. It's what happens when belief > facts.

Would you accept that we could tax the rich more without raiding what they already have?

Or do you always have to be uncomfortably (and quite off-putting-ly) extreme left?

Why should we not tax the rich to the point of reducing their wealth? It's a matter of reversing the harm they've done and of fairness.

Well, well. There it is.

The Young Turks Network Raises $4 Million From Former Republican Presidential Candidate

Ironic:
“The Young Turks and TYT Network have long been a source of independent news and politics for our millions of fans,” Uygur said in a statement. “While we don’t necessarily agree on politics, Buddy and TYT both understand money’s damaging influence on our government. Buddy and RRM support TYT Network’s mission to bring our viewers the unrestricted truth and analysis of the world’s news – from politics to movies, pop culture, sports and more.”

Attention, Justice Democrats. When you sleep with dogs you get fleas.

I don't agree, they were people who super optimized to the system that was in place at the time.

As long as they play by the new rules and pay their share I see no need for punitive measures.
