https://jacobinmag.com/2019/10/bernie-wants-you-to-own-more-of-the-means-of-production This article discusses the Bernie Sanders campaign, and how it is designed to shift power back to the working class. The most radical of his policies, the one this article discusses, is to shift corporate equity to the workers. His policy would be that corporations have to shift two percent of ownership to the workers every year, for ten years (20%). The article states the market value of publically traded funds stands at 35.6 trillion dollars, and twenty percent of that amasses to 7.1 trillion dollars. This money spread across the entire working class, who I will consider to be the entire US population to make the math easier, amounts to 21,700 dollars person. Currently, 86.4% of equity is owned by the top 10% of the population, and the top 1% percent owning 57.5% of it. This leads to power and wealth being condensed in the hand of a few. Those who own the means of production decide what is produc...

MSNBC Coverage of Bolivian Coup https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/bolivian-president-announces-resignation-amid-accusations-election-fraud-n1079561 Many will consider MSNBC a left wing news channel that one should approach with hesitance. This narrative, however, is very problematic. In considering MSNBC a channel that's too critical of power and far too left, one will immediately laugh off anything to the left of MSNBC. The mainstream media likes to be considered leftist, as this keeps them from being attacked from the left in mainstream discourse, which is a bad look as they don't want to seem too supportive of power, it keeps people from going further left as they hold the standard, and it covers up the fact that they are necessarily center, center-right, or right wing. The corporate wing of the democratic party MSNBC mainly supports is certainly not left-wing. But, they can't be left-wing out of necessity as they are profit seeking corporations themselves that are ...

1. Bias by headline "Trump bashes Clinton" and "Trump slams Clinton (in link to it). Makes him sound powerful. 2. Word choice and tone https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/tlaib-omar-hagee-anti-semitism-congress The evangelical pastor says that Israel Apartheid week is anti-semitic and is designed to harass jewish student. This statement is false, as the point is to make people aware of the atrocities carried out against Palestinians, but he decides to double down and emphasize this ludicrous statement even more. He says that "the ghost of hitler walking around college campuses smiling".  His tactic is basically to say a bunch of scary words to convince people of his beliefs without any substantial argument, hence the bias. 3. Skewing the stats https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/marc-thiessen-elizabeth-warren-favors-huge-federal-spending-requiring-massive-middle-class-tax-hikes Says "roughly two-thirds of Americans think the economy is working...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/16/us/politics/democratic-debate-review.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage The New York Times had their debate experts analyze the debate performances of all the candidates. The NYT opinion pieces, based off my experience so far, usually seem to be inline with a corporate centrist vision. And, the team for this article seems to be full of centrists as well based off their credentials shown, to add to the evidence pool. I will critique some of their statements. Joe Biden: Kelly described Biden as having a powerful performance. She claims that " he quickly and strongly dispelled with questions on his son Hunter Biden , which demonstrated how he’d handle such attacks in a debate with Trump." His defense was essentially "Hunter and I did nothing wrong. Don't talk about my corruptions, please just talk about Trumps.". Trump will absolutely abuse the fact that Joe, who he will probably call "Sleepy J...

The first amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that there be freedom of the press. Free press means that the government cannot censor journalists or news media. The government does not have the right to prevent or control things the press publishes. The Constitution of Venezuela outlines similar guidelines regarding freedom of the press. Article 57 of their constitution states that: “Everyone has the right to freely express his or her thoughts, ideas or opinions orally, in writing or by any other form of expression, and to use for such purposes any means of communication and diffusion, and no censorship shall be established." However, political conflict and civil unrest in Venezuela has resulted in cases where these natural rights have been infringed upon through government censorship and oppression. Cody Weddle is an American journalist was detained in Venezuela and held for 12 hours by a counterintelligence military agency. Reporters say Weddle was detained to i...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/19/opinion/india-pakistan-kashmir-jammu.html A New York Times opinion piece by Harsh Shringla talks about the Indian armies invasion of Kashmir. He justifies the invasion through a utilitarian approach. He cites the lack of economic success, regressive laws, and terrorist connections in Kashmir. He believes that an enforced Indian rule over Kashmir would be better for its citizens, therefore it is permissible for India to invade Pakistan. He says "The changes introduced by India have challenged entrenched interests who benefited from the old system at a cost to the people.". He calls it a "introduced change", however it is a military invasion (1). USA today reports the opposite, that " Kashmir is India’s only Muslim-majority state and most people there oppose Indian rule" and " Rebels have been fighting Indian control for decades, and most Kashmiris support the rebels' demand that all of Kashmir be united under Pa...
