The Wall Street Journal's Attempt to Take Down Bernie Sanders Backfired
Sep. 17, 2015 11:43 amBy Thom Hartmann A...Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary Clinton in early primary states, and he's gaining on her in national polls.
And major media outlets are starting to treat Senator Sanders seriously, but not necessarily with complete honesty.
Take for example Laura Meckler's article in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week.

Are "self-service" checkouts putting us out of work?
Sep. 14, 2015 7:43 amBy Thom Hartmann A...It's no longer far-fetched to say that soon we will be able to shop, work, travel, and commute, all without interacting with a single person. And, while that may sound appealing to the introverts out there, it's also the reason that we need a basic minimum income.
All of that automation and self-service means fewer jobs available for American workers, and that means more people will find themselves unemployed.
