As noted here, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered eight years ago yesterday; before those ISIS monsters started beheading Americans and others, the fourth estate was becoming a more and more dangerous profession – not hard to figure out that she was ultimately killed because our ol’ buddy Vlad Putin was getting a little uncomfortable with her reporting on Chechnya; dots haven’t all been connected yet, but I have no doubt that that’s where there'll lead one day…
…and I don’t mean to insult Politkovskaya by claiming that her courageous work bears any resemblance to anything by Chuck Todd, but he’s a charter member of our Beltway media-political-industrial complex so of course he ends up with Reince Priebus – luckily, Rachel Maddow interviewed Nancy Northrup of the Center for Reproductive Rights to obtain the reality perspective about the closing of clinics in the "yellow rose" state (as I've said, vote for a Dem as if your life depends on it, because it just might)...
..and here is Cenk Uygur telling us about the lady trying to organize a union at Burger King (sent home for a particularly laughable excuse also, if I may say so)...
…and I think the preceding item makes this tune a timely selection ("rather feed pigs than humanity" indeed).
