The economic system, the political system, and the mainstream media are all run by the same Plutocracy. They are steering candidates and policies.

Mainstream media makes it clear every day the need for Independent Media

I did over 50 total interviews at Netroots Nation 2019 in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. Helen Gym, a Progressive Philadelphia Councilwoman made a statement that I had to think about several times. Paraphrasing, she said that it is not only important to push our truthful message, but we must shame those hurting the masses. We must make it very clear who they are and the ills they effecting.

Today I will call out the mainstream media on very specific issues after the last Democratic Debate. Call in and tell me what you think.

• Using Right-Wing talking points to conduct interviews.
• Attempting to create fights between candidates not on policy but on semantics.
• Attacking selective candidates when they bruise a favorite.
• Turning dispute with Biden and some of Obama’s policies into an attack on the former president.

Independent Progressive media need support from Progressives

Free Speech TV, Pacifica Network, and most Independent Progressive outlets are way behind in raising the funds they need to operate much like the smaller outlets like Politics Done Right. We will discuss why and solutions. That said, please support our GoFundMe here.

Daily Kos: Impeachment inquiry now supported by a majority of Democratic House members

With every testimony and every report, the numbers increase. The slowness of the movement may be frustrating. So is the continued mythology that allowing Mitch McConnell to give Donald Trump a pseudo-not-guilty is somehow worse than giving Trump the blessing of Democrats by never bothering to begin impeachment in the first place—something that Julián Castro ably pointed out in Wednesday night’s debate. But the number of Democrats in the House who have announced their support for beginning an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump has finally moved past the halfway mark.

As The Washington Post reports, some of the growing pressure for impeachment is coming because clips of Robert Mueller’s testimony are generating calls to congressional offices. That testimony, which pundits seemed to find so unimpressive, turns out to be exactly what many Democrats said it would be—eye-opening for those who had not actually read the special counsel’s report.

Political enthusiasts and those who followed the Russian investigation closely may have known better, but for many Americans, the only “truth” they knew was from the three-page not-a-summary prepared by Attorney General William Barr, and the constant tweets and repeats from Trump and other Republicans claiming that the report had found Trump squeaky clean. For those Americans, seeing Mueller say, as he did in just the first minutes of the House Judiciary Committee hearing, that the report did not exonerate Trump, that Trump interfered with witnesses and withheld evidence, that Trump attempted to halt the investigation, and that Trump’s actions may have affected the ability to issue charges of conspiracy … all of that is a revelation.

The added pressure has finally pushed the numbers to the point where a majority of Democratic House members, plus now-former Republican Justin Amash, stand in support of impeachment. And, as Politico reports, that number makes it increasingly difficult for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to take no action.
