"PA Independent" Proven to be Right-Wing Propaganda [VIDEO]

This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.

In this video, I discuss a new bombshell report revealing that PA Independent, a commonly copied source of supposedly unbiased state political news, is really a far-right conservative advocacy group purposely disguised to manipulate establishment media with a plethora of financial ties to notorious right wingers like the Koch brothers and ALEC.

Stay in touch on Twitter @CounterpointPA and on Facebook at http://facebook.com/counterpointpa and stay tuned throughout this week for two more PA Headlines, The Breakdown, and Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week.

This week's show is expanding - rather than the usual four PA Headlines I've always done so far, I'm doing six PA Headlines this week, concluding with a new segment called Activism in Action that will now regularly conclude PA Headlines with a quick look at progressive protests around the state.

Still to come:

PA Headlines

RIP Governor Scranton, a progressive Republican from an era when that was a thing

Activism in Action - protests call for legalization of marijuana in Pennsylvania, for US Rep. Charlie Dent (R) to vote for the comprehensive immigration package passed by the US Senate, and more

The Breakdown

A detailed look at the new state budget for the next fiscal year signed into law just last month

All that plus Counterpoint PA's special homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week!
