Meanwhile, in today's Counterpunch, that miserable asshole Ted Rall is bloviating on how it would have been worse if Hillary had been elected.

Counterpunch = Useful Idiots "R" Us.

The U.S. did have the Fairness Doctrine, which worked pretty well for quite a long time. Ditching it is what made Fucks Gnus possible.

Bringing it back would be pretty much impossible - today's GOP can't survive if their base doesn't get a steady diet of fake news.

Jeez, I would say they have more serious black marks against them than thatβ€”like the fact that cofounder Alex Cockburn appeared to think, say, Paul Wellstone a more malign figure than Stalin.

You are not wrong, it's just Hunter's body was not even cold and they were pumping that out. I heard something similar on Fox later that week, which was bemusing.

Yeah, but isn't "Donovan" usually an Irish name? (but yes, the singer is Scottish)

This is also how I feel; my point was that Counterpunch has been all-but-utter-dogshit for a LONG time.
