Are they smart people? Ocelot II Sep 25 #1

Ok. Not so smart but begs the question. cbabe Sep 25 #8

Thom Hartmann DOES NOT support Marianne Williamson. ariadne0614 Sep 25 #2

We still have people who... Think. Again. Sep 25 #3

Can you please expand. I don't understand your comment. TIA. cbabe Sep 25 #5

I believe that there are some Dems who are still... Think. Again. Sep 25 #10

I absolutely agree. Are you then suggesting Goodman is one of those push to the right voices? Simply cbabe Sep 25 #16

No, I believe Goodman is standing firm to keep Dems from drifting to the right. Think. Again. Sep 25 #18

Ok. Thanks for clarifying. cbabe Sep 25 #22

True. But he has supported her in the past. cbabe Sep 25 #4

I see nothing at that link showing support Wiz Imp Sep 25 #11

Airtime is support. All the msm airtime cbabe Sep 25 #12

Seriously? Wiz Imp Sep 25 #13

Not insane. If there's only one, maybe two, progressive programs cbabe Sep 25 #21

There are far more than one or two progressive programs Wiz Imp Sep 25 #28

Only two 'progressive' npr stations in my area. cbabe Sep 25 #39

That was 2019...FIVE years ago! Moostache Sep 25 #29

I'm glad we cleared up the vague implication that he supports Williamson now. ariadne0614 Sep 25 #31

Amy's life is probably as depressing as her show. HUAJIAO Sep 25 #6

What do you mean support? werdna Sep 25 #7

Support as in giving her lots of interview airtime. Goodman is not putting Kennedy or Vance on the air, for example. cbabe Sep 25 #9

Is that your complaint? MichMan Sep 25 #33

Ah no.?? (That's the biggest problem with cbabe Sep 25 #35

It has been explained to you that she was on one time eight years ago Doc Sportello Sep 25 #36

Reporting on and interviewing is not supporting. ms liberty Sep 25 #14

Yes. I used to listen to right wing radio for that reason. Until cbabe Sep 25 #20

answer pretty simple stopdiggin Sep 25 #15

I agree... Think. Again. Sep 25 #17

Ah. That makes sense. cbabe Sep 25 #19

DN is effectively the DSA propaganda outlet like Fox is the propaganda JohnSJ Sep 25 #23

Ah. Thanks for that perspective. cbabe Sep 25 #27

They are entirely listener and foundation funded al bupp Sep 25 #32

However they sell themselves, I can see for myself their bias and agenda. When they blame the U.S. for causing Russia JohnSJ Sep 25 #37

I think their bias is in favor people over corporations and governments s al bupp Sep 25 #38

Stein and Williamson are not serious people Keepthesoulalive Sep 25 #24

I agree. So why put them on air? Goodman certainly sounds sympathetic. cbabe Sep 25 #26

People will sell their souls for ratings and or attention. Keepthesoulalive Sep 25 #30

I never liked her IbogaProject Sep 25 #25

DN! is an independent news source al bupp Sep 25 #34
