There is many facets that can be taken from this well written article. I wish Time Warner would carry
Aljazeera, they actually do real reporting. Great article worth the read.

That's a frustrating article, and o so true! Al Jazeera always has top notch reporting, and they speak truth.

Yet ironically, FoxFiction is available 24/7 & its lies & propaganda are worse than any terrorist group for our country. People are blinded by the bright lights & short skirts on Fox. They manufacture and feed hate & ignorance on a daily basis.

MSNBC and as lately CNN have their own proganda and show very little news.

I would loved to see part two and three on this segment they plan to have on their television program.

If we pay for cable we should be able to view channels of our choice. I played with various zip codes around the state with the link below
Schedule | Al Jazeera America

Not a single cable company in this state carries but satellite customers your in luck.
Click the link so they will know where the interest is.

btw there is a autumn leaves festival this weekend in Mayberry.

I am very frustrated with MSNBC's coverage and I used to watch it all the time.

The only way to improve something is to identify what's needed for improvement. They refuse to cover that.

Good on Al Jazeera.

Al Jeezera network got my credit card info a couple of years ago and tried to wreck havoc on it. As far as I'm concerned, I don't need a bunch of thieves. Anyone else got scammed by al Jeezera?

They've had very good coverage of the shutdown.

Thanks for posting this article. It appears unbiased reporting must come from outside the US (one of the reasons I like The Economist).
The gerrymandering map makes the political game playing so obvious, and not just in the 6th.
I mentioned the "tribes" in another thread yesterday. Tribal are exclusive - not inclusive and our politics and social behaviors reflect the increase in tribalism. Robert Putnam wrote about the collapse of the American community in "Bowling Alone". We are watching it unfold. When folks circle-the-wagons - it's usually out of fear. I wonder how long before we blow-up.

Just read the article. How in the world were lawmakers able to get away with creating that 12th district? It conveniently excludes urban areas from districts that they should otherwise be included in. Amazing.
