Social networks silence conservatives. The market place silences progressives.

“Progressive” web-sites never made sense to me.

All the “progressives” needed to do was randomly turn on a TV news program and they could get spoon-fed their ideology.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Public TV, their local news—same old lefty drivel...over and over and over again...

I’ve heard Media Matters Radio. It sounds like some snarky kids living in mommy’s basement.

Of course, all their Marxist agenda has been normalized into the Democratic party, so there is no need for their phony independence from that party, no need to further divide “progressive” funding.

Yep. That’s the shrinking market in which TP was competing. It’s interesting that major MSM players are held subsidized by billionaires or corporations and couldn’t stand on their own.

That would make a great tagline. If you don’t want to use it for yours, may I do so?

Center for American Progress is John Podesta’s creation. Also shut down was his Clean energy Project. No money from Democrat payola.

One down. 999 to go.

Facebook, Instagram, and the Twitter Mob have streamlined liberals means to an end; destroying the opposition.

Who needs ThinkProgress when you have millions of little Stalins and Maos on social media?
