You can make a difference!

During my travels, I’ve found something that can help our country.  
The US has become more and more polarized, and I've come to the conclusion that Fox ‘News’ is insidiously ruining our country.
  
Join me in my efforts to restore some balance to news coverage!  

How you can help: When you’re in a coffee shop, standing in line at fast food, or eating a hotel breakfast and they have Fox playing on the TV, ask politely if they would change the channel to CNN, ESPN, PBS, or any network channel that you’d prefer. 

The worst they can say is no, but you’re a customer and they should at least register your request.   

If enough people start asking, they’ll notice.

They say history repeats itself….

1400's

"Absolute nonsense!"  The establishment said.  "No reason to do rash things, like explore new routes, the world is most definitely flat, and that's it."  
"No, I believe it's a bowl.   You can see that when you look at the horizon at the beach."  Said the shrill voices.
"I'm thinking we should be believe the scientists."  Said Chris C.  "I'm willing to stake my reputation and life on that." And he sailed away. 

2014 

"Absolute nonsense!"  The establishment said.  "No reason to do rash things, like explore alternative energy or conserve, there is no global warming, and that's that."  
"No, it seems colder than ever this year.  Look at all those freaky snowstorms!"   Said the shrill voices.
"I'm thinking we should be believe the scientists."  They said.  "To save our grandchildren, we're willing to________.

You fill in the blank!  It's your world, too.

It pays to be a right wing pundit!


Looking at the rankings, it seems to really pay to be a right wing pundit!
No wonder they back tax cuts for the wealthy -- here's what they make:

Rush Limbaugh $58.7 Million
Glenn Beck   $33Milion

Sean Hannity  $22 Million
Bill O’Reilly $ $20 Mil

Sarah Palin $14 Mill (I can see why she quit being governor, it doesn't compare to being on Fox)
Don Imus $11 Mil

Rudy Giuliani  $7 Mil
Newt Gingrich $5.5 Mil

There are some from the other side, but they don't really compare.

Here are the top progressive pundits:
Jon Stewart $15 Mil  (he's really a comedian, not sure if he counts)
Bill Clinton $7.7 Mil (former President makes less than a former candidate)
Keith Obermann $7.5 Mil

(For more on the list, pick up a November 8 Newsweek.)

Wow -- do you think they represent regular people?

All the best,
