Who Will Win Iowa, and Why It Doesn’t Matter

The Iowa Caucus is today, and like most other things in America, the significance of this event has been overhyped by the corporate-controlled media. The outcome of today’s caucus is far less important than they’d have you believe.

Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

The MSM has destroyed its own relevancy. They are shills for the corporate candidates, especially she who shall not be named.

I expect the Democratic caucus to go either way about even. It will be a moral victory for Bernie if not a narrow outright victory. But Farron's right: in the end it won't matter that much.
