A graph based on the CIA Factbook shows income inequality in the U.S. is worse than in some third world countries. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. It's patriotic to give tax cuts to the rich and let the poor share it's pain.

3. you have to give credit to the R's - position these tax cuts

between patriotism and religion and they are supported by those who have to make up the difference.

They are masters at strategy of this type.

2. Why are all the honest liberals in journalism,

instead of politics? I would LOVE to see people like Cenk Uygur, Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow, Laurence O'Donnell and Ed Shultz run for office, and turn Washington on its damn head!

5. Keep going...

Can you name a whole bunch more liberal journalists?

Keith Olbermann...Jon Stewart (that's a stretch, calling him a journalist)...and...and...
I'm drawing a blank.

7. Journalist according to Dictionary.com

jour�nal�ism /ˈdʒɜrnlˌɪzəm/ Show Spelled

Show IPA

�noun
1. the occupation of reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or broadcasting news or of conducting any news organization as a business.

Pretty much makes Jon Stewart a Journalist. Not everybody is Bill Moyer.

6. I get what you mean.

And there are others, Thomm Hartmann, Ed Schulz...just turn on Free Speach TV or watch Link TV among others. David Pakman, Mike Maloy, the Alyona, etc...there aren't as many as the wingers have, because it it takes money to keep the BS machine running, so they have a better funded team. And guys like Stewart or more jounalist than most of the drones that read their corporate/sponsor written teleprompters. Their team digs up more accurate, useful information than the big medea whores can possibly do, and they do it in a similarly short period of time.
