And something MORE than just the Hubris of an aging bully of a woman who wants to be remembered by history.

There's got to be a reason to push THIS hard and my suspicious mind always goes to money. A lot of Companies are buying up their self determination, and I really think that Hillary has promised to push through something BIG on the corporate front.

I honestly keep thinking Extraterratoriality. Because that's the Holy Grail of corporate power. Once Corporations get the power to act like governments, they effectively ARE governments. Combined with TPP, and you've effectively transformed the entire balance of power in the world, forever.

Nowhere in the world is the overwhelming influence of money, regulatory power and the press more openly obvious, yet actively denied than in the United States of America – the proud home of a chickenshit corporate media machine full of hired goons, con artists and fawning collaborators so desperate for half a second of access, they’ll gladly tell whatever story their corrupt employers demand of them. For the most part, this machine survives or rather, thrives, not on stunning artifice or clever deception, but instead the sheer, overwhelming banality of evil that governs virtually every aspect of our lives in 2016. There’s always some billionaire found dumping toxic waste into a community river, some politician caught accepting millions of dollars in bribes, or some journalist openly lying to defend power. The staggering, unrelenting pace of it all combined with a direct attempt to provide false equivalency after false equivalency by the very same media structure that’s profiting from this corruption, causes most people to rightly assume that there are no good guys in this story; collectively turning our heads away in disgust and trying our very best to get on with whatever lives we’re allowed to have under these circumstances.

On to reading the rest of the article.

Note NWIA and dear readers:

The Nina Illingworth article can be better linked to directly, here. And it's well worth the read!

the media. blatantly using the platform it has been given to push the establishment. Whether it is Clinton v Sanders in the short term and even if it's Trump v Sanders, then they will push Trump.

the next level of this story? the willingness of HRC supporters to stand behind the lies. in the essay I wrote about Sanders invitation to a conference at the Vatican and all the bullshit around it: IT WAS CLEAR IN THE BLOOMBERG story pushing the bullshit. That's the scary part. And the dKos frontpager simply went with it. Because.

As someone else posted here a few days ago, the best correlate for Sanders supporters is use of internet media instead of traditional curated media. This is also the only explanation I have for the "Nancy Reagan" gaffe: Clinton thought that a twitter hash tag is the same as a traditional media "channel" and assumed that only the intended audience would read it. Hilarity ensued. (Or should that be Hillarity?!)

The same thing happens when apologists like Paul Krugman try to curate reality (as in Friday's column). Many people my age (53) or older don't know how to fact check these essays without spending a few days in the local library, but when I read it, I had already fact checked it about 12 hours earlier. This is the biggest divide among people my age.

The question is then, how do we reach these curated media people and show them what is blindingly obvious to us? That her values are not the values of most decent people? Rants like the one linked above may feel good, but they tend to turn such people off. The Young Turks are pretty articulate and have high production value (shiny is good!) but it is on YouTube.

So I don't have a good answer here, but please Tawk Amungst Yerselves
