This is an ... By: AmplificationProject. on 22 May 12, 01:22:49 This is an incredibly savvy analysis of one event which highlights the structural issue of inequality in America incredibly well. While intuitively many of us "get" that the Facebook IPO is a signal of inequality in some way, David does an excellent job of pinpointing the nuances surrounding this story that reveal how this news story demonstrates a deeply ingrained system? of inequality that has pervaded the global financial system. --Nicole @ the Amplification Project

www.demos.org Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow Benjamin Barber appeared on CNN's "Your Money" to discuss austerity vs. spending in America and the EU.
GDP measures economic growth, but is it an accurate measure of progress?
While GDP has been steadily increasing, indicating a growing economy, other metrics of progress show a very different picture.

www.demos.org Demos Senior Fellow David Callahan appeared on CNN's "Up Front" with Erin Burnett to discuss political shifts in France and Greece. Callahan explained that European citizens are realizing that austerity measures have only exacerbated the fiscal crisis and are calling on their leaders to invest in the future.
Callahan wins this ... By: dltooley. on 10 May 12, 22:37:36 Callahan wins this one, but the problem is more complex than either pundit here realizes. For one, a large part of the 2007 bubble was caused by the stimulus spending of my favorite Keynesian, Dick Cheney.
Any rational business person will? assign blame for the current situation upon Reagan era Wall Street, as exemplified by Mitt Romney at Bain, any current 'stimulus' efforts that does not include the bankruptcy of these individuals will still fail.
Obamacare has ... By: BottleConcreteBlond. on 09 May 12, 23:34:08 Obamacare has absolutely no similarity to European socialized medicine.?

www.demos.org Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow Bob Herbert explained on MSNBC's "Up w/Chris Hayes" that carbon emissions remain in the atmosphere for centuries, making today's pollution a threat for generations to come

www.demos.org Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow Bob Herbert explained on MSNBC's "Up w/Chris Hayes" that cutting food stamps is a cruel practice. Herbert pointed out that a disproportionally large number of food stamp beneficiares are children, especially minorities.
www.demos.org Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow Bob Herbert explained on MSNBC's "Up w/Chris Hayes" that although America's middle class is better off than 50 years ago, we have to remember that it's in decline.
www.demos.org Demos' Heather C. McGhee called for letting the Bush tax cuts expire "Up with Chris Hayes." She explained that we need to abandon these cuts and start over to make the system fairer and to collect badly needed revenue.
www.demos.org Demos' Heather C. McGhee advocated for real economic investment in the majority of Americans on "Up with Chris Hayes." She explained why public support for the Buffet Rule is both "symbolic and important" and how conservative leaders are trying to co-opt the idea of "tax fairness" to help the 1%.
Shakedown the Rich! ... By: NewWaveInnovations. on 12 Apr 12, 02:31:23 Shakedown the Rich! What? Mitt cant take it to heaven, and what good is all you cash gonna do for you under your mattress. I love the yellow blazer it matches her hair. Have you seen Nicki Minaji's hair? I? hate it , It looks so unnatural. Laura Ingraham can pull off the bleach blond she is very fair, but she should go back to her brown roots. Bleached blonde looks gray.

News report on CNN ... By: manybuddies. on 04 Apr 12, 01:53:11 News report on CNN might? not, but the media certainly did. Go ask around if any of your friends knew Zimmerman said "okay". What is sad is not listening to the whole tape and let the media spoon feed you with what you should or should not believe.
The media certainly ... By: BottleConcreteBlond. on 03 Apr 12, 20:30:45 The media certainly did not leave out the "okay", I've heard it over and over in broadcasts. And wikipedia is your source--that's sad.?
you need? therapy. By: proni1. on 03 Apr 12, 03:04:29 you need? therapy.
The media also ... By: manybuddies. on 03 Apr 12, 02:04:28 The media also leave out TWO minutes of the remaining conversation.
The media also leave out Zimmerman saying "I don't want to get the hell out. I don't know where this kid? is" (somewhere at the end of the call):
The media didn't cover the story, they make it into a story they could sell. They should be criticizing themselves. The news is not the only outlet, okay. There are tonnes of shows on msnbc, fox, and abc that just pound on this at the first opportunity without knowing head or tail.
Where did you get? ... By: manybuddies. on 03 Apr 12, 01:48:33 Where did you get? "coon"? I heard it at {2:23}.?
I did NOT leave out ... By: manybuddies. on 03 Apr 12, 01:47:18 I did NOT leave out "they always get away". He said they always get alway at {1:39}. He said "coons" at {2:23}. It's almost a minute apart.?
The media DID leave ... By: manybuddies. on 03 Apr 12, 01:41:16 The media DID leave out? the "okay". It's ON wikipedia!
well so you seem to ... By: masterblaster102. on 02 Apr 12, 22:09:09 well so you seem to have left out the part where he said "they always get away"...not only that you suggest? that this statement followed by "it's fucking cold" smh. It would be laughable if it weren't so sad
The media didn't ... By: BottleConcreteBlond. on 02 Apr 12, 21:50:45 The media didn't leave? out the "okay", but why did he keep following?
Where did you get " ... By: BottleConcreteBlond. on 02 Apr 12, 21:49:58 Where did you get "it's fucking? cold"?

Zimmerman: Yeah.
Police : Okay, we don't need you to do that.
Zimmerman: Okay.? {he said "okay", but the media left this out}

Police : Okay, this guy is he white, black or hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black. {and that makes him a racist?}
...
Police : Okay... which entrance is that that he's heading? towards?
Zimmerman: The back entrance. {paused for 4 seconds}
Zimmerman: It's fucking cold. {not "coon", which again is suggested by the media to make him into a racist}
Police : Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yeah.

NOW THINGS ARE ... By: hightimes0123. on 08 Apr 12, 17:11:11 NOW THINGS ARE KNOWN. Someone is? not doing there job. GEORGE IS A MONSTER.
John seems like a ... By: bmcguire80. on 07 Apr 12, 10:03:28 John seems like a good, smart guy but he said "he shouldn't have stopped that boy at all and the reason he was stopped was the color of his skin" this is a deeply flawed, irresponsible comment. 1) All evidence indicates Z did NOT stop T in any way at any time. 2) You have no idea whatsoever if Z would've behaved differently had it been a white kid dressed and behaving in exactly the same way, that? is pure assumption and nothing more.
I like how? the ... By: bmcguire80. on 07 Apr 12, 09:59:11 I like how? the panel is 4 people who all agree, and a host who agrees with all 4 of them. Btw, the lady is right. Trayvon absolutely had the right to walk, wear a hoodie, have a gold grill, run from Zimmerman, tell Zimmerman to go "F" himself, ignore him, be annoyed by him, flip him off, whatever. What he didn't have the right to do was deck him then straddle him and beat him for a minute solid as he screamed for help. Z knew police were on the way, wouldn't have shot if T hadn't grabbed at gun

On Saturday Mar. 31 ... By: drstubb1. on 02 Apr 12, 17:38:17 On Saturday Mar. 31, 2012 Chris had a segment on his morning show about 2 cases of "Stand your Ground" that were ludicrous in nature. One from Texas where a guy talking on 911 goes next door to shoot and kill 2 burglars at neighbor's house while the neighbor was away. And the other about a person who chased and killed a car stereo thief in Miami. I was hoping to find that video here or on MSNBC, but? I've been disappointed.

Either blacks ... By: hannjenn. on 17 Apr 12, 19:46:35 Either blacks really do more often seem suspicious when they walk around gated communities than do their white counterparts, or George Zimmerman thought so, per his most recent 911 calls, mostly advising of suspicious black males. So whether he was asked the? suspect's race or offered it is irrelevant: Zimmerman profiled black men, particularly young black men, because only racists really believe that black men, young or otherwise, are generally more suspicious than whites.
What these news ... By: rebelspirit1000. on 12 Apr 12, 05:37:36 What these news goons won't tell you is that the dispatcher asked for the description of the individual (Trayvon). Media outlets presented an edited audio tape where he says "he's black"? and you don't hear the question by the dispatcher what color is he.
The media likes to spin these deceitful little webs for people and unfortunately people are taking the bait. The media is evil.
It wouldn't have ... By: BottleConcreteBlond. on 03 Apr 12, 20:27:31 It wouldn't have gotten press coverage because the? shooter would have been arrested.
I would disagree. ... By: topramenmaster1234. on 03 Apr 12, 18:08:53 I would disagree. If Martin were white,? it may be true that the police would have taken more action in identifying the body and contacting family but this case would have gotten absolutely zero press save for the local news media. This is only a big deal because its been turned into an issue of racism
Newt= pathetic? liar By: Stablemable2. on 27 Mar 12, 04:48:00 Newt= pathetic? liar
Newt Gingrich's ... By: BottleConcreteBlond. on 26 Mar 12, 15:55:58 Newt Gingrich's comment is completely disingenuous. If the kid shot had been white? this uproar wouldn't have happened because Zimmerman would have been arrested.
