PS---For non-boring Super Tuesday coverage, check out www.theyoungturks.com and or http://bravenewfilms.org/network . They will be simulcasting awesome progressive coverage with TYT and other co-hosts (in the past it's been Wes Clark Jr, Christy Harvey of MicCheckRadio.org and Robert Greewald of BNF who's the man behind Outfoxed, Iraq For Sale, Fox Attacks and more).

If you watch at BraveNewFilms there are some cool features such as live blogging, live polling (of viewers) and a live chat. And as always, they have awesome progressive guests (and yes, even some MSM guests), ranging from Sam Seder to people from DFA, Media Matters, Firedoglake, Campaign For America's Future, The Nation, Newsweek and many, many more.

Seriously though, just watching the election coverage through the TV Talking heads is a questionable prospect (I doubt they'll be especially honest, insightful or funny). Even the NPR coverage, while informative, can be dry and boring. And the TYT/BNF coverage gives you up to date poll results on election days because they can see what ALL of the networks are saying rather than just the *one* network you would normally watch.

The New Hampshire coverage reached over 50,000 viewers, so clearly people are responding to this new format. Support progressive programming if you really are tired of the mainstream media!

It was never about economics it was about the treatment of our veterans. If we have 200,000 veterans sleeping under bridges because of drugs and mental illness we need to do something about it because WE (we as in america) drove them to it fighting this war. I barely escaped the same fate myself.

And as for his comments on poverty bill STFU you do not know what its like to struggle. You don't know what its like to go to the super market and look for the cheapest of everything. You don't know what it's like to be trapped because you have no money for gas, no money for anything. All the poor have are TV. Just shut the fuck up and die already.
