Richard (RJ) Eskow

Rupert Murdoch's got problems. But there's an easy way for him to save his company: Turn the News Corporation into a Wall Street bank. There won't be any prosecutions, and the government will even sweeten the deal with billions of dollars in easy money.

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011

You'll excuse me now if I'm not buying the sudden increased interest the GOP has in listening to the American people. They never for one second respected the results of the 2008 election.

Is it Time for Democrats to Fight Obama?

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011

Cenk Uygur

Why are Democrats who were willing to fight Bush crumbling in front of Obama? He claims to be the leader of the party, but honestly who cares? If he is doing the exact opposite of what Democrats claim to stand for, why does it matter what he calls himself?

The Hidden Cost of Capitulation

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011

Cenk Uygur

President Obama doesn't seem to understand Politics 101. You don't just count the votes based on how the other side says they're going to vote -- from time to time, you call their bluff.

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011

Cenk Uygur | Posted 05.25.2011
