Thom Hartmann: Are Dorner's actions the result of racism?
If you watched Meet The Press this weekend - you heard David Gregory talk about the crumbling state of the US Postal Service. But he left out one pretty big detail about the post office's demise. Whether it’s lazy journalism or an effort to give cover to the corporatists, the news media is assisting in the demise of the Post Office - an institution started by Ben Franklin that’s older than the United States itself. So that leaves it up to us - “we the people” - to tell the real story about what’s happening. The Digital Age isn’t killing the Post Office. Instead, the demise of the Post Office is another good ol’ fashioned story of corporate corruption of politicians and a Republican Party that exists, first and foremost, to serve the CEO class and screw the middle class.
