You are correct. I hope that we are returning to the type of media that the founders were used to, where every outlet was expected to have an opinion and an agenda, and everyone understood it, and accounted for it. I think it does a better job of “leveling the field”.
“Mass Media” did not really exist until the 1880’s.
It completely changed the dynamic of elections. It is no coincidence that the “progressive movement” did not take off until well after 1900.
I met Stevie Nicks about 43 times. She owned property on the edge of Camp Pendleton in San Clemente. She would come out on her back deck scream bloody murder every time we ran past her place in formation, barking out cadence. Lol. True story.
What I take away from this is: See how Donald Trump is able to get what he wants? Even though they disagree on some issues, he is a friend-maker, he is likable, he gets results.
If the powers that be “allow” him to be President, he really could make this country great again.
I’d be upset, too, if my daily view of the beach was marred by the Dolly Parton monument, otherwise known as the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant facility. :)
Good on Snider!
Damn,and I thought there really was a Dolly Parton monument.
On another note, a lot of conservative/libertarian Rush fans are in for a really rude awakening. They invited Michael Moore backstage when he was in the audience at a show and recently Lee and Lifeson were on his Sirius XM show for an interview.
I’m sure she is a true Patriot. LOL
I live a bit up the Freeway in Laguna Niguel.
Ah-nold used the same song during the 2003 recall of Grey Davis. Jeff “Skunk” Baxter of Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers toured with Arnold and did a great job live on that song.
There should be one, but if not, San Onofre should suffice, because it — ahem — fully honors her shapeliness.
I agree.
Maybe he could get permission to use “You’ve Got to Stand for Something.” Tipper sang at one of our rallies in DC.
A POTUS candidate who’s done nothing so far but talk a good game and a General who fought against the Untied States, I don’t know which is a sillier suggestion for “Greatest American since George Washington”.
Trump is exactly like Reagan, a great communicator, great dealmaker - he’ll make great deals for this country, and will be the Teflon President - nothing negative sticks. What some Freepers are so against him I’ll never understand.
I remember when Twisted Sister was just starting out. And I do mean JUST. I saw them in a upscale honky tonk type rock bar in NY, Newberg I think it was. They did the make-up thing even then, and they were really pretty good. I hadn’t wanted to go see them because of the name of the band, it sounded lame to me. :) God I am old ...
Saw her when she still half of Buckingham Nicks. I remember it as being at Gerde’s Folk City but that can’t be right. Somewhere on Bleecker Street. She was going places, I could tell right then.
Wow, listen and/or read the lyrics -— perfect Trump theme song!!!!!
Lead singer Michael Stipes came out as a homo before it was 'cool' as cadavers to do so. 'nuf said.
