- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoThe Family by Jeff Sharlet is great for a look at the actual working process of the political Evangelical movement. i'll have to take a look at Hedges' book, thanks for recommending!
- sc68cal 1y agoChris Hedges is _always_ an excellent source. Wish more journalists were like him
- burnt-resistor 1y agoThere are a few. Chris Owens just interviewed Jeremy Corbyn and it was really revealing. Jordan Chariton/Status Coup gets out to communities after the mainstream media leaves and misses the aftermath. Democracy Now! has been following the atrocities in Gaza nearly every day with personal accounts from people on the ground. Medhi Hasan, Sam Seder, Robert Reich, David Pakman, Meidastouch, Malcolm Nance, and Thom Hartmann to name a few. Another one particular to Israel is The Salukie who is a half Arab Israeli Jew who goes undercover to West Bank refugee camps to show what's really going on and how everyday people are treated on all sides.
- pc86 1y agoThe vast majority of the government are full-time employees without any express political allegiance aside from whatever they happen to personally believe. I doubt they are "deeply ideologically aligned with...domestic terrorism" and most of them would probably physically assault you for suggesting they agreed with domestic terrorists in person.

- reverendsteveii 1y agoI agree, but hackernews is evidently taking his side because any time I try to reply I get told I'm posting too often, even when its been hours since my last post.
- tsol 1y agoGovernment employees don't have their own political alliances? Have you seen the american government anytime in the past 10 years? That's a very strange argument considering it's a commonly discussed issue in the current american political climate.
