@Mark from Queens thanks for posting it. Wow, so she represents like the pinnacle in PolySci at a "liberal" Ivy League university? My God. I can barely listen to her but watching her cringe is fun.

Of all the developments of the last insane, revelatory election cycle, one of the very best things to happen has been the development and growth of a potent alternative progressive media. Gives me tremendous hope. The way he dissects media clips is amazing and deserves, and hopefully will get, a much bigger audience.

He's already had Greenwald recently. If he can land more progressive heroes like these he could really make a name for himself.

I think he's already making a name for himself apart from the pack, as a sharp comedian with a fierce and uncompromising progressive stance willing to challenge misinformed and deceitful status quo opinion. Hope he seriously considers taking this out in a much-bigger way. He stands to occupy rarified air, in this day and age when people are looking for searing (and funny) truth-tellers.

Whereas in the past we'd have to settle for the back-lapping, guffawing of today's limp Neoliberal late night comedian hosts such as Colbert, Fallon, etc who coast on their faux progressive credentials, and bullshit MSNBC corporate lackeys who protect run cover for the odious Dem Party and run away from any self-reflection as to why the party was destroyed by a clown like Trump, we can now turn to Lee Camp, Jimmy Dore and Russell Brand for an unvarnished, critical, muckraking look at what's really going on (while at the same time being entertained by extremely funny people, no small thing in a culture like ours). Add TYT to the mix and there's potentially a new genre waiting to bust out to capture the imagination of a public so disillusioned by corporate media focus on manufactured controversy and red herrings, and Neoliberal phonies posing as defenders of the people, talking about everything but the elephant in the room.

Look forward to watching these, thanks COE. Really like Blyth's sharp, incisive views and Scottish wit.

Watch this debate, in which Blyth eviscerates the tepid, predictable Neoliberal propaganda talking points of a fellow professor at Brown, while she exposes herself as a shining example of the Death of the Liberal Class that Hedges wrote about, in which our education system is filled with fiscally conservative flunkies who tow the line of the New Democrats of Bill Clinton's fealty to Wall St and corporate America and the lie of ever-rising profit margins of the global market being good for all of us:

Wow, thanks for the link! That was really something! (Edit: meaning interesting, borrowing slang from my father, lol.)

I'm a big fan of Jimmy Dore. It's sad that we have to rely on a nightclub comedian to get any real analysis, but there it is. My "go to" economist for the last couple years has been Michael Hudson. There's a half-hour interview with him here: Meet the Renegades
