So, they had enough money and organization to get on the ticket in all 50
states? I suppose that means that they have some very wealthy supporters.

Remember that Johnson and Weld both actually have governmental experience on
state and federal levels. Also they are on the ticket in all fifty states.

And it's also interesting that the Libertarian candidate, Gary
Johnson, is higher in the polls than Jill Stein which, I suppose,
makes the same point.

That's how we might see it, but most of middle America, for lack of a
better term, still sees NPR as left-leaning, even though it has moved
so far right, so , that large swath of voters views NPR and anything
they have to say, with suspicion. If you're asking what is my point, I
don't have one. This is nothing but an observation. Every time I hear
someone say this, that NPR is so leftist, I am amazed and incredulous,
but that's how far right the populace has moved.

Whatever Mid America or Trump thinks, NPR now gets a lot of funding
from corporations such as those in the fossil fuel industry, and they
are very mainstream, very much like the New York Times and the

They're the voice of the liberal establishment or the liberal elites.
They are protective of Israel, no matter what, and they will bash
Putin and Assad, the government position in every situation regardless
of the facts.

Yes, they talked about the Greens back then, too.but was NPR
considered mass media back then? Are they considered mass media now?
By us, yes. By Trump supporters and middle America, not so much...

CNN just had a round table with Libertarians and will be holding one
with Jill Stein too.

NPR is actually talking about Jill Stein and the Green party. This
certainly didn't happen in 2012 and in 2008, no one knew there was a
Green Party.
Perhaps this is what Bernie accomplished. His campaign put the Green
Party on the map.
