39% health insurance rate hike - YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!!!

All the polls show the majority of Americans want the public option with health care, but the Democrats aren't ramming it through and the Republicans consistently vote 100% lockstep against it. Do you call that "representation"???

Polls: In Key States, Public Option Far More Popular Than Senate Plan

White House slammed after declaring ‘not enough support’ for public option

BD: The media was liberal at one time. It did hold the powerful accountable. What better plan was there than for the powerful to usurp the liberal media and keep calling it liberal? The reason they call it liberal is because it was liberal before they usurped it. So, it follows, that those who keep calling it liberal, like Rush Limbaugh, work for the powerful.

The MYTH of the "liberal media".

The mainstream media serves elite interests (NOT "liberals"), the military, and corporations. These SAME PEOPLE are the ones calling it the "liberal media" as a deception. Do you think these people would call it the "elites', military's, and corporations' media"??? Another part of the deception is calling the Democrats "liberal", which they aren't. And calling the Republicans "conservative". So the media totally ignores the real liberals and conservatives and tells you the Democrats and Republicans are the liberals and conservatives.




The Corporation (The Corporation is a "must see" movie)

Provoking, witty, stylish and sweepingly informative, THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Part film and part movement, The Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal "person" to the logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" The Corporation includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics - including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.
