He’s been saying the same TRUE things for decades. I’m ashamed to say that had I listened to him speak on this in 2005, I would not have been open to hearing it. After seeing what has happened over the last two decades, so many of us have woken up and can now hear it. I’ve never been so excited to vote for someone as I am now with RFK Jr.

Just 3 years before the financial collapse, the real start of this current political era. Even then, perhaps obviously in hindsight, the press and regulatory agencies had been almost completely captured.

It's so interesting to see this and compare it do what's going on today. RFK Jr was just on Fox News the other day he's getting a lot of support from the right also. Kim iversen had him on her show she used to be a progressive Democrat but I wouldn't consider more independent. She asked him why are you staying in the Democratic party when all they do is silence you. She said she hopes that he will run as an independent or a republican if the Democrats don't support him and get behind him. You didn't really answer her on that. The Democratic party isn't the Democratic party and the Republican party is in the same Republican party it was when this was first aired. Interesting times we're living in.

Have to disagree with right wing media being dominant. I started watching Fox news during the OJ Simpson trial and found a different perspective to CNN. Chris Mathews was always very critical of the Republicans during the evening programs. Sure there are a few shows that highlight conservative or republican points of view but those are in the minority to the rest of the news channels. Radio shows, at least here in California were 50/50

[@micheleh5269]

Yeah, he is so on point with most of the health related stuff. Then he says something like 'right wing media..' But he doesn't really say that anymore. Did you see that Hillsdale College invited him to speak?

[@waynetables6414]

the political paradigm is constantly shifting, and remember this was two decades ago.. every major network in the 90s and 00s cheered on the Iraq wars, NAFTA, Clinton era neoliberalism, "bipartisanship.. etc. Both parties were right wing parties, especially when the Democratic party was led by the Clinton wing, which sought to win back the rural "reagan democrats" by working closely with Newt Gingrich to pass conservative legislation in congress. Barack Obama's administration was a continuation of Bush's administration both domestically and abroad.. Obama extended the wars, kept Guantanamo open, and extended the Bush tax cuts.. so from an actual left wing perspective, (not an MSNBC corporate "progressive") there was no "left" represented in mainstream political discourse at that time.. except on the fringes of public radio.. therefore, you often heard people in that era calling the media "right wing".. because people at that time associated "right wing" to mean Reaganism/neoliberalism/free trade/pro-war etc..
