The Koch brothers vs Donald Trump. Vs the GOP?

Please Dios, let this be the start of something big. Fresh off of another political version of a bachelor party in Florida last night, His Lowness is obviously full of piss and vinegar. Now he's picking a public fight with the Koch brothers, calling them a “total joke.” Donald Trump's...

If you pay attention to polls, as I sometimes do, you'll notice one universal truth, everybody thinks that congress sucks. The only poll I have been able to find that gives congress positive marks is the latest R/T poll of the Kremlin. Those guys think we're knocking it out of...

OK gang, hop into my trusty wayback machine with me, and let's return briefly to the dark day of November 9th, 2016. I want to do a quick comparison of the GOP's feelings on the day after the election, and compare it to the reality of today for the GOP....

Real political reporting today requires that journalists focus solely on the big Republican donors

I’ve long thought that we have crossed the rubicon where it no longer makes any sense for journalists to follow, interview and report on the various Republican office holders. It is not just that they are irrelevant, but that they exist now purely as front-men or front-women. The real force,...

A glimpse behind the curtain of how Koch-funded corporate front groups manipulate the news you read

Originally posted at Eclectablog. Over the past several years, I have written about how corporate front groups, largely funded by corporatists like the Koch brothers and their network of fake grassroots (“astroturf”) groups, manipulate the media to serve their corporate bottom lines. They use this network to amplify their corporate...

All Illinois Democrats have to do for re-election is govern like Democrats

There's a simple lesson for Illinois Democrats from the Tuesday election. If you want to get re-elected as a Democrat in Illinois all you have to do is govern like a liberal Democrat. It's not complicated. Illinois is a Democratic state. A majority of voters are pro-union, pro-environment, pro-choice and...
