Lefty Blogger: ‘Systemic Racism of America’ Unchanged Since 1870s

April 29th, 2015 10:51 AM
Late in the Reconstruction period and for many years thereafter, white-supremacist paramilitary groups often committed acts of terrorism in the southern United States. That much is clear. Also clear, at least to Daily Kos's Denise Oliver-Velez, is that the spirit of those groups lives today in American police departments and in the viewership of Fox News. “They don't kill us in bunches anymore.…

Ezra Klein: Real, ‘Angry’ Obama Emerges at WHCD

April 27th, 2015 5:17 PM

April 24th, 2015 2:36 PM
Rush Limbaugh posted an interesting pair of questions at his web site yesterday: "How can CNN still be on the air with no audience? How can MSNBC have been on the air with no audience? In the old days, they're gone, kaput. Something else is tried. But they stay. And they double down on what they're doing that's losing audience." A large part of the answer, as I noted on March 30, is that those…

April 21st, 2015 11:13 PM
A decade ago, a Gold Star Mom who had lost her son in Iraq gained national attention when she staged a protest against the Iraq War near George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Jon Stewart: Fox News ‘Steeped in Distortion and Ignorance’

April 19th, 2015 12:12 PM
According to Jon Stewart, cable news is so awful that Daily Show staffers who keep tabs on it are essentially “turd miners.” That said, Stewart believes that the most foul-smelling poop comes from Fox News.
