lol gj Maddow. I don't watch her show but last night gave me even less incentive to do so.

I don't buy into all the fake news bullshit but the media definitely needs to stop trying to be the first to everything. Remember back in the day when poo poo like the OJ chase was breaking news? Now every-loving-thing is breaking news.

so maddow's credibility is pretty shot now, eh?

I do not think so.

Her audience from before that night still like her. They probably won't change their mind. She probably didn't gain too many followers from it.

Like where else are they gonna go for that type of news? Most of them are there since they don't know that PBS has news.

She does good stuff quite often. I'd say the format from that night was the same but the topic she covered was a bit weaker than normal.

Trump broke the media class.

I wish that was true but this poo poo has been going on since forever.

Samuel Adams was notorious for just printing fake poo poo news to rile people up to help with his cause.

France did the same thing during their revolutions. They had a poo poo ton of newspapers who printed fake poo poo or fake poo poo that other news papers printed.

Donald Trump, the idiot, the child, the moron, is still pulling pranks children do on each other but on the media and has been doing it for about 40 years now. Some people hand wave it by calling it 11th dimensional chess but it is really basic.

Yah reading this quickly atm, but he moves back to the glass steagall act and pretty much points the point of great depression to 78 as the period where there were large organizations putting forth effort uniting all classes of americans. Or am I wrong about that? Sorry quickly reading this.

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with that, but even then, that is about 70 years in americas 240ish years where this was the case.

vikingskulls point was "almost always" which is a bit off, but still close enough to work with here since even in those 70 years, the organizations pointed out were rich people running those large organizations.

I'll give it a better read later tonight. I might bring this to the local political organization I am heading to next week.

http://spacenews.com/nasa-receives-19-3-billion-in-final-2016-spending-bill/

WASHINGTON — The final version of a fiscal year 2016 spending bill will provide NASA with nearly $19.3 billion, funding most agency programs at or above the administration’s original request.

The omnibus spending bill, released by House and Senate appropriators early Dec. 16 after extended negotiations, allocates $19.285 billion to NASA for fiscal year 2016. That total is $756 million above the administration’s requested budget and the total provided the agency in a House spending bill passed in August. It is nearly $1 billion above a Senate bill that appropriators approved in June but was never passed by the full Senate.

as for vpns, I've been using mudfish for awhile

it is a silly korean one and charges by the gigabyte but uh I've spent like 10 bucks on it over the years and it still has money

it is mainly for games but still works for browsing. 8 gigs is about 1 dollar and I guess they got a subscription plan that I never looked at
