Capitolwire Buruea Chief Attacks Keystone Progress with Establishment Illogic, No Facts [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this edition of Counterpoint PA's homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week, I take on Capitolwire's bureau chief who attacked Keystone Progress' report revealing that PA Independent is funded by a far-right group actively trying to manipulate state news without trying to disprove any facts in the report, a right-wing blogger who suggested that one public school's financial scandal means PA needs more private cyber and charter schools even though private schools are less accountable than public schools (as proven by another story I share to make the point), and four Republican US Congressmen from PA who sponsored a bill with "Saving the Environment" in its title that would kill new coal plant mercury and air toxics regulations from the Environment Protection Agency.
