Thanks for calling attention to this excellent discussion. So happy to see these kinds of relationships coalescing. Saw this a few days ago on my YouTube subscriptions. Folks, if you don't have one, the best thing you can do is subscribe to all these progressive shows online who turn a sharp critical eye on the fraud of the mainstream media and neoliberal governance. This to me is one big part of how we can unify the 99%, by getting people off of cable and all mainstream news where people are being brainwashed by propaganda from a bought and sold corporate MSM.
I've been a fan of Greenwald's for over 10 years, since his first book "How Would A Patriot Act." He has truly taken the mantle of one of his heroes IF Stone and abided his fundamental philosophy that "all governments lie." Probably the most cogent and brilliant speaker I've ever seen, in terms of an uncanny ability to put together such perfectly-formed paragraphs, whole essays if you will, just speaking off the top of his head. Stunning to witness. If you haven't seen the filmCitizen Four, you must. So much evidence that he is a one-of-a-kind in our midst today.
These two are part of a small elite of progressive minds/advocates who to me are so important as we forge our way out of this wild and unpredictable time. We'll need them immensely, and for their inspiration to take on the PTB with the same kind of fearlessness and critical thinking.
Is anyone here a Twitter hound? We should get in touch with the Jimmy Dore Show and let them know that there is this progressive political website, defected from Daily Gross, who are big fans of his. I think it would be a good idea to feed him stories/info/like-minded allies.
Very cool and exciting.
Russell Brand is another who is doing great work, using his celebrity to call attention to the many ways the 99% are being duped by complicit media manufactured controversy and a political and economic system run by and to benefit the 1%. His YouTube show, The Trews, is similar to Dore's in pulling the mask off of the PTB. He's a very deep cat, I've found, in the best ways.
Here he is with another progressive titan, George Monbiot:

Watching Glenn Greenwald do verbal sparring with anyone on the other side is like watching a skilled surgeon deconstruct all the bullshit. Greenwald has a great and very quick mind. No one can stand toe to toe with him.
I am a fan of all four gentlemen you have cited in your comment. Excellent comment.

It's so hopeful to see Dore speaking with Greenwald.

Do you have the free youtube or did you upgrade?
I dont like the free youtube. I have to keep the page open, and it ties up my phone. If I can't multi-task, I'm bored.

Bill Maher "sparred" once with Greenwald on Middle East.

re: Twitter and Jimmy Dore
I tweeted to Jimmy Dore that he has a lot of fans here @caucus. He liked my tweet, so he probably read it and has checked us out.

Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore explore the state of journalism in the US. (be sure to catch the last clip about tribalism).
