been over the last 3 decades in large part due to the ignorance of those who haven't a clue they have been relying on a media empire developed by a Korean cult leader for 'news' and analysis about THIS nation and its governance.

Reason as a source or when Correct the Record uses Fox News to slander Bernie in their ads some never say a word. Then these same people comes out and protest and go as far as accusing a poster being a right wing plant when some of these articles do not favor their candidate of choice. This happens even if the source is somewhat neural.....odd very odd.

I would like to see that type of posting here at DU, because I'd like to raise awareness on that thread, too. If anyone can point me to it, I'd appreciate it.
