We should import some reporters from other countries. Maybe those Dutch ones who refused to let that ambassador get away with lying to their faces.

Except your criticism is disingenuous and also you after repeatedly making racial remarks against blacks and latinos which in fact got you a nice long probation decided to accuse others of racism.

Yes it is, adressing this supposed lack of the lefts media prescence in the media diet of democrats as a whole as the self indulgent and whiny myth that it is, the equivalent of the Tea Party whining endlessly about the "Leftist media bias!". THey can hear you, its just for the most part your message is ignored cause you don't do a loving thing to make anyone want to follow you. THe one thing you have stuck with the most passionately has been heard, and its effect has been to rehabilitate Bush.

Basically, you wasted your effort on making America like Bush. I do hope you're all very proud of that fact.

The idea of shooting someone fleeing from you is disgusting. Then the "calm down" at the end after he just shot him a few times is incredibly infuriating.

Because they want to kill. You don't shoot at something you don't have the intent to kill.

That cop was also shooting into an apartment complex side wall. He could have hit almost anyone in those buildings and he wouldn't have cared.

you can tell how effective US policing is by the fact that 80+ cop cars in LA and up to 80% of cop cars in Chicago have equipment destroyed in them the cops go "dang impossible to investigate, we'll never figure out who did this"

of course we don't have good stats on this because the cops don't report this destruction of police property for some reason

Remember all the Serious Legal types on this forum were falling over themselves to explain why that was totally legal and therefor justified because the kid blinked his lights at the cop then didn't get out of his car when it came up in the old Cops in the Beat threads.

"Suburbanite relatively well-to-do centrist to Republican voters," properly speaking.

The entire conceptual framework behind "focusing on the middle class" is asinine, because it implicitly accepts the existence of a permanent underclass.

Nah, there are a lot of older liberals (like my dad) who like Maher. Maher basically appeals to the sort of older, often boomer/gen-x, liberal who is motivated primarily by a distaste for religious conservatives. Actual left-wing policy isn't really involved, since their ideology is more just a reaction to conservatives.

That's really the magic of the middle class.

When someone with 5 houses says to themselves "I'm upper middle class" they're not including the poor in that group.

When someone with a net negative net worth says to themselves "I'm middle class" they're not including the millionaires in that group.
