Oh, yeah, and FDR was just as evil as Hitler! And the Flu is just as bad as AIDS!
The line between hyperbole and what is pathetic seems in this case to have been erased.

They are both mental conspiracy theorists. Maddow said that Russia would keep Americans cold this winter :lol: She needs help.

Maddow and Hannity are flip sides of the sane coin. They are the two most popular corporate journalists in MSM. What exactly is your point?

I'm agreeing with you, Maddow is the sane side, Hannity is the insane side.

They're both sane -- and greedy. They make a shedload of money distributing propaganda to gullible viewers, but represent manufactured differences designed to keep Americans divided. They are both mouthpieces for the two-headed, one-party snake that serve American corporate interests.

I don't have a problem with corporations. Or propaganda.

That does not surprise me. It's an attitude that is direct opposition to your humanitarian, environmental, and egalitarian concerns.

No it isn't. Corporations are OK when regulated. Propaganda is speech intended to influence. As long as the intent is positive, towards humanitarian, environmental, or egalitarian goals, and it's true, I don't have an issue.

The intent is not positive. The intent is to enrich corporate entities at the expense of everyone else. I see things only getting worse. Strange, you espouse liberal ideals, but embrace neoliberalism at every turn.
