    GOP Talking Heads Try to Score Political Points by Stoking Resentment About Accusations of Racism

    GOP Talking Heads Try to Score Political Points by Stoking Resentment About Accusations of Racism

    Biden condemned white supremacy, so why are some Republicans disingenuously describing it as an attack on the entire GOP? I would like to assume that most Americans in both parties oppose hate groups and violence.

    Jill Richardson
    Jan 29, 2021

    President Biden recently became the first president to condemn white supremacy by name in an inaugural address. Then some Republicans got mad because, they say, it's an attack on them.

    He's "calling us racists," Rand Paul complained. "According to the left, supporting border security and celebrating July 4 could make you a white supremacist," Tucker Carlson claimed. "I was offended" by "the racism thing," Karl Rove added.

    Corporate Media Turns to Warhawks, Including Former Bush Officials, to Beat Drums of War on Iran

    Corporate Media Turns to Warhawks, Including Former Bush Officials, to Beat Drums of War on Iran

    "Nothing's been learned from 2003. Nothing."

    Julia Conley
    Jan 02, 2020

    Trump critics and peace advocates watched in horror Thursday night and Friday morning as some of the top architects of the Iraq War took to the corporate media to spin a narrative aimed at retroactively convincing Americans that the killing of Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani was essential to the safety of the U.S.--a replica of the run-up to the Iraq War nearly two decades ago.

    Following reports that President Donald Trump ordered the airstrike that killed Soleimani, the major general of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, former George W. Bush administration officials were among those who media outlets called on to make a case for the act.

    With Supreme Court Decision on Dark Money "We're About to Know a Lot More About Who Is Funding Our Elections"

    With Supreme Court Decision on Dark Money "We're About to Know a Lot More About Who Is Funding Our Elections"

    "We are about to drive a lot of dark money donors into the light—it's gonna look like the climax of a Harry Potter movie where the creatures shrivel in the sun."

    Jon Queally
    Sep 19, 2018

    In a win for increased transparency and those demanding an end to the so-called "dark money" eating away at U.S. democracy, the Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a previous stay on a lower court ruling by rejecting the argument by right-wing advocacy groups who said they should not have to reveal the identity of big-dollar donors who fund their issue-based campaign ads.

    Crucially, the ruling means that groups that in the past have been able to hide the source of their funding before, during, and after campaigns will have now have to make that information available before voters go to the polls--in this case, that means before the upcoming mid-term elections. Effective immediately, any group or individual making more than $250 in express advocacy ads -- ads that tell viewers who to vote for or against -- must now disclose the identities of all contributors who gave more than $200 in a year.
