The worst thing the US has ever done, and is the root of all corruption in this country, is creating the concept of corporate personhood. The people behind the corporate name largely escape responsibility for their wrongdoing
So if a government body discriminated against a corporation wholly owned by African-Americans that would be OK with you?
LOL, conservatives are dangerously wrong about Citizens United. It's BECAUSE of Citizens United that we see corporate money being used for "political speech" than ever before. You think Monsanto has YOUR best interests in mind? Get out of here

Do you really think the MSM has YOUR best interest in mind?
Prior to CU, there was NO one to counter the lies of the MSM. Do you wish to remain a corporate tool?
Should every "issue oriented" group be shut down, such as they were before CU? Should environmental groups be stopped from buying ads to promote their issues? Should "anti-GMO" groups be silenced (OK, bad example-those guys are nuts). Should women's groups be stopped from promoting their issues? Gun owners? Because that was exactly the situation before CU-the only group that could actively promote a position were the parties and the MSM.
So you think it is OKAY Faux News or the SeeOhSeeKay brothers spends BILLIONS getting their stooge elected?
Let me guess you support the bigot, homophobe, misogynist Trump.
WTH is the seeohseekay brothers? I would surmise that you mean the Koch brothers?
You do know they've thrown in with HRC, right? One of the liberals most hated brothers has registered as a Dem so he can run for office. They are yours now, slap in the face much?
If you're going to call out FOX while saying nothing about CNN, MSN, CNBC, NY Times...etc. then you are firmly in the category of hypocrite.
You did notice this thread pointed to an LA Time op ed, and they aren't exactly a conservative rag. I know. I know... it;s an op ed; however the fact they published it is a testament that they still have a little credibility every now and again.
Part of possessing the ability to have a rational conversation is understanding the fact that no one side is righteous. Liberal bias in media outnumbers conservative bias by 10-1. Calling out the 1 is rather childish and absurd... however, that's a rational PoV which seems alien to many in here.
Once upon a time, liberals pushed free speech at every opportunity. They lauded Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis for protecting unpopular views early in the last century. During the 1960s, Berkeley’s Free Speech Movement demanded the right to demonstrate politically on campus — and liberals championed the cause.
Now liberals want to empower the government to silence those who advance political ideas come election time.
Actually their purpose is to increase shareholder wealth and everyone should be aware of that. If demand is for the crap we get today that is what we get.
Well for the ones that waste their brain and time tuning in to what they spew.
I've been past them for the past few years. Their drivel is nauseating imo.
Don't you remember our constitution? The second amendment reads "No speech against the liberals shall be allowed."
I don't know how much more clear that has to be.
We're supposed to have freedom of speech ("I think that I read that somewhere") but it seems that freedom of speaking in favor of Trump or against Hillary seems off limits.
Before dumping cable I would watch it occasionally for entertainment only.
I'll pass!
No entertainment for me, just insulting really.
