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.

Yes except that it appears that 98% of Republicans do not have the sense god gave a goose and they won't see it as silly & obvious propaganda.

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.

Cockburn is a pompous ass

Putin wont live forever but like many dictators before him he doesn't have any plan whatsoever for what will replace him

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.

Don't forget the Vichy Republicans and Dear Leader Sycophants.

...Paul Wellstone a more malign figure than Stalin. ... WTF???Are they some kind of pretend Trotskyites?

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.
