Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson discussed the latest bombshell developments at CNN and the state of corporate media with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson Tuesday night. She said, among other things, that Americans are getting "an artificial reality put out by people with narratives."

This includes Democrats, Republicans, and corporate interests.

Attkisson says:

The efforts by a group of Senate Republicans to craft the repeal of Obamacare has come up woefully short, and it not acceptable. So say a group of bipartisan governors.

Spearheading the No on Healthcare Reform efforts are a pair of moderates: Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

DC politics has gone mad.

Americans are now treated to a 24/7 freak show of government dysfunction, charges and countercharges, midnight tweets, and a myriad of other forms of dystopian political theatre.

Politics has become toxic.

The professional pundits and their assembled panelists profess their disgust at the toxicity — and then gleefully throw another log on the fire.

Is there any way for the American people to intervene?

Why are referendums ending up so different from how polls suggest?

From Brexit to the FARC peace deal, there have been some shockers in referendums: the polls have very much gone one way, and the results another.

So what the heck is going on? In this episode, Xander and Erik talk about how polling works, how it might be going so wrong, and what oddities are going on with direct democracy versus the representative stuff we're used to.

The Maine House passed an amended version of the full repeal bill Tuesday that would implement ranked choice voting for U.S. House and primary elections, where there is no state constitutional conflict. The bill would allow the legislature to address the need for a constitutional amendment for three state general elections at a later date.

We should have known this hysteria would come after election night.

All one needs to do is look at the District of Columbia voting results to understand that President's Trump's campaign promise to Drain The Swamp would rouse every sordid creature from the depths of D.C..

The backbone of the Russian hysteria story has been built exclusively on two sources, both of which have been debunked and characterized as false.

In January 2017, the Seattle minimum wage hike increased the city's minimum wage from $13 an hour to $15 for employees of large companies, the second such increase in less than a year. It pushed Seattle to having the highest-in-the-country minimum wage.

The Maine Senate voted Tuesday to repeal the first-in-the-nation, voter-approved ranked choice voting initiative for state and federal elections. The mostly party-line vote (the Republican majority, plus some Democrats) approved full repeal, 21-13.

It has been said of presidential candidates that the ideal nominee is one with no history. Put another way, the candidate with the lowest number of blemishes in the public eye.

That approach assumes a candidate is a career politician, which the latest presidential candidate to emerge victorious from a roiling election season is not.

Project Veritas released part one of its "American Pravada" series late Monday. The video allegedly shows a CNN supervising producer saying the network's nonstop Russia coverage was about ratings and that it was "mostly bulls*** right now."
