14. What he broadcasts is more important.

Will Hartmann continue to promote Putin's agenda? Putin desperately wants the sanctions to be lifted. He wants the billions of dollars he has stashed in banks all over the world, and he wants the pipeline through the Ukraine so that he can make billions more.

Putin got Trump elected so that he would lift those sanctions. Plan A hasn't worked so Putin is moving on to Plan B, which is to convince Americans that Russia is our friend and Putin is a nice guy and let's stop being mean to Russia and lift those sanctions.

A number of progressive people have been fooled, seduced, or hired by Putin to spread propaganda.

It's obvious to me.

"I have never heard him spout Russian talking points." --- Therefore it never happened, right? NurseJackie Aug 2017 #47
I don't know what your issue is with me, but I have not been rude in my discourse phylny Aug 2017 #49
My "issue" is the broad-brush attack in your opening post. There is no "Bash Hartmann Brigade." NurseJackie Aug 2017 #55
I had no idea that you personally were criticizing Thom and therefore felt I was attacking you. phylny Aug 2017 #58
