Flashback. Here's admitted socialist Senator Bernie Sanders
addressing the Democratic Socialists of America convention:
We have to focus on this issue of media, so that when you turn on the radio you can hear something other than Rush Limbaugh. So that when you turn on the television, maybe you could see some real reflection of the lives of the American people, rather than just the rich and the famous. And maybe you could see some vision of solidarity, rather than Survivor, where it's me against you. Maybe a program where we're in it together. But we have to take a hard look at corporate control over the media and see what we can do to have a media that focus on localism.
Senator Sanders has grand designs on what you should watch.Here's another gem from comrade
Sanders:
one of the roles that the DSA plays, and I will increasingly play that role in the Senate, is to try to educate the American people about what is going on in other countries around the world who have had democratic socialist governments.
and this socialist
plea:
When we talk about democratic socialism, we look in pride at what has gone on in many European and Scandinavian countries that barely ever gets mentioned in the media.
and
this from socialist Sanders:
When you turn on the TV you can see more than you ever wanted to see about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton; you can see football games till the cows come home, but somehow or other there's very little discussion carried about what's happening to the middle class. When's the last program you saw about the growing gap between the rich and the poor? Have you ever in your life seen a program on television talking about the benefits of trade unionism? You don't see those things. Somehow you've got 800 TV stations on the local cable, but a few companies own them all. They've got probably six companies that control almost all the media, but they think that's too diverse. They want to deregulate it even more. And we're going to stop them.
Do does comrade Sanders believe in the U.S. Constitution? Anyway, being an admitted socialist didn't stop then, Senator Barack Obama from supporting Bernie Sanders for U.S. Senate. Check out this
