Alyona: MainStream Miss on Black Friday

I got one more comment to make on this myself.

That woman thankfully turned herself in the next day. Conscience obviously got the better of her and good thing too. Violence against other shoppers, in any form, be it pepper spray, yanking it out of their hands, or any other form, should never be condoned or even considered remotely acceptable in society.

Violence is NEVER, EVER, acceptable.

Thom Hartmann: Politicians lying on corporate media

I hadn't been a big fan of RT. But in the last couple of years, they have upped their game significantly. At times they still feel like a Russian national broadcaster rather than an international broadcaster. But they launched a version of RT aimed at the US called RT America.

The channel features news and programming output from Washington DC during the US East Coast prime time. Amongst the shows produced for RT America is The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann. Thom is a liberal talk radio host whose radio show airs live on many stations across the US, such as WWRL in New York, from 3pm to 6pm ET.

At the end of The Big Picture, Thom presents a feature called The Daily Take. Yesterdays was about Mitt Romney's lie about a President Obama campaign speech from 2008, the previous presidential election.



This is why I always say be very careful just who you trust to give you your news. Many sources = better informed.
