Could it therefore entirely possible that an election could be won due to the 'ah, fuck it' factor?
Hope does spring eternal.
Just imagine how things might have turned out if the media had given a fair hearing to Dr Stein.

Why is that?

Why so little attention to non 2 party candidates, particularly in 2016 with the pair of highly negatively charged candidates of HRC and her husband's golf buddy Donald Trump?

Also, whatever happened to Sam Smith's focus upon the corruption of the Clinton's?

Was Sam Smith kidnapped or murdered and replaced with a body double.

Prorevnews sure is not what it used to be.; November 4, 2016 at 11:09 AM

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Sam's one of the few independent voices left. The press today is either extreme or special interest or else just establishment, an extension of the corporate spirit -- Sen. Eugene McCarthy,

One of a small group of whites with whom many blacks would trust their political lives - Chuck Stone, Washingtonian.

A reputation for wit, intelligence and anger. -- Claude Lewis, Chicago Tribune

Smith is an island of reason and information in a sea of narcissistic blather. -- City Paper, Washington

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
