In retrospect, the first corporate media screwing of Bernie was when the insta-poll results on the early debates were not reported but rather only delayed polls of persons who subsequently read the media influenced mischaracterizations of who won. Things haven't changed since. The corporate media still resist every inch of Bernie's progress. The alternative media, with few to no resources, have been amazing! We're past the ignore and ridicule stages. Now we're on to fight and win!

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
The State of Illinois recently passed a new Eavesdropping Law to get around the Supreme Court decision that ruled the old law with regard to recording police and other public officials performing their duties in public unconstitutional. The new law allows police to declare a "right" to privacy to prevent recording. That declaration is made by the individual officer, without any supervision, and the recording device may be confiscated and the recorder arrested.
