All Three Major News Networks Ignored Bernie Sanders’ Speech Tuesday Night, To Show Empty Trump Podium

As Bernie Sanders took the stage on Tuesday night, the cable networks continued doing what they do best – talking.

Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all declined to carry Sanders’ speech, instead offering jokes about the evening while showing live coverage of Trumps empty podium while promising that we were all, “AWAITING TRUMP” and “STANDING BY FOR TRUMP.“ 

In Fact: EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE HAD AIR TIME EXCEPT FOR SANDERS

As if these stations couldn’t get any more corruptThe Huffington Post’s Michael Calderone reported that the media have collectively given Trump some $2 billion worth of free air time.

Don’t be fooled by the media ya’ll. You can watch his incredible speech here & remember You ARE his media

These are only a few photos of what’s happening in Brazil. We will not tolerate power abuse. We will change. The media shut down 3g signals around the conflict areas, along with radio signals. The TV is only covering the parts that stain the people’s reputation, the public. The TV’s being puppeteered by FIFA and big shot politicians. Don’t come to Brazil. Don’t support FIFA. We don’t need world cups, and we won’t have. The revolution will not be televised. Please signal boost this for the world to see what’s going on.

UPDATE: Our president, Dilma Rousseff, is threatening to shut down internet in the whole countrydue to (but not only) recently getting booed by the whole stadium (60k people more or less) while declaring open the confederations cup. This is not okay. This is untolerable. We live in a democracy. We want our rights. Again, please, Signal boost this.

So, to all of you who follow me and who are not from Brazil, you should read this, and please reblog, if you can.

These are some photos of what is happening to our country today. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are facing protest all over the cities. To fight for their rights. Our country is living a hidden dictatorship. The protests started because the bus fee raised 20 brazilian cents. Which doesn’t seem that much, but you all should know that millions of brazilians live with a monthly income of no more than 700 brazilian reais (something like 350 american dollars). Some people live and raise families with that money. Monthly. To these people, $0,20 for each bus means a lot.

But the thing is: what initially was intended to be a protest against the bus fee turned into a protest against the dictatorial government. A government that every year, steals millions of dollars of their people, in their own benefit. A government so corrupt, the population got used to it, and make jokes about it. In this country, a school teacher has a yearly income of $8400. The governors, on the other side, earn, for the same time, about $300.000. To work less. And they don’t even show up to work. And besides that salary, they steal.

And now, people are going to the streets. And the response is photographed. The government is brutally attacking everyone. I mean everyone. Protesters, pedestrians, reporters, photographers. Everyone. For no reason. They just attack. And bomb. And hurt.

The media is absolutely corrupted. The brazilian media makes it look like a violent act, that has to be fought with equal violence. That is a lie. 15 thousand people are going to the streets of Sao Paulo with no guns, no fire, no weapons. And they are being hurt, persecuted, and arrested. Some of them have to pay bail fees up to $20.000.

If you came all the way down here, please, reblog this. Help making the world know what is really going on here. This country, this beautiful country, with beautiful beaches, and women, and music, is now screaming in protest. This is the country in which the World Cup will be in 2014. A country that worries about the World Cup much more than it worries about the welfare of its citizens.

It’s sad being here. But we’re fighting.

Million Muppet March

This past Saturday, approximately one million (give or take, we had to skip that day’s arithmetic lesson for this event) puppets and their trusty human sidekicks marched on Capitol Hill in protest of Willard Romney’s proposed cut on federally funded broadcasting, proving that even though they only have a hand inside of them, muppets have still got more heart than Mittens.

President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins goes off on a Tea Bagger

Words can not describe how amazing this is!

Wow. So, this is honestly just a straight 4 and a half minute, on the spot rant, the other guy gets in like 5 words, which only makes Higgins angrier. It’s is amazing!

So this is the issue. So therefore be proud to be a decent American, rather than be just a wanker whipping up fear.

Best. Summation. Ever. Wish I had a little more context though.

grá mór agam duit, a hUachtarán.

I am just so so proud of him and that we elected him and he’s honestly the best president we could ever have.

jesus christ he fucking told your man didn’t he? :D

This is our President, America. 

THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT. >:U

MICKY D. H. IS A LEDGE! I love how he says “3” :)

So fucking proud to have this man as my President.

This is amazing.
