It's become very obvious that the corporate media is manipulating information and propaganda to affect our elections. A lot of people express "frustration" with this, but it needs to be taken further. I would consider it treason. You have wealthy owners taking actions to directly affect the outcome of our so-called "democratic" elections. It's ludicrous to call this level of manipulation "free speech". And if the bought-and-paid-for congress refuses to do anything about it, then why aren't progressive/environmental/justice, etc. groups calling for boycotts of not only the corporate media, but more importantly, the advertisers using the corporate media??? If money is the only thing they understand, then major boycotts to hit them in the pocketbook may be the only thing we have left.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
