Democrats and MSNBC are one, and liberals are relegated to the fringes, pay sites, contribution sites, that are barely scraping by, publications like Truthdig, Truthout, Alternet, Counterpunch, Jacobin...all constantly begging for money.

But the rich put up their spectrum of what is acceptable, the ridiculously right-wing, and the "acceptable" left. And issues on which they do not want people informed, are simply ignored from both sides. Issues on which many might feel unjust, but settled and wanted by corporations, are uniformly agreed to, and supported by both sides.

We should all know what we're listening to on television and radio--the range of media, far out on the edge of the right-wing of thought, the media wants us to hear about, and nothing they don't. It's all filtered out.

Fox and the GOP are one. This was planned. Kingofalldems Dec 2016 #1
