http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32042-is-scott-walker-less-of-an-extremist-than-donald-trump
Robert Naiman, Truthout: When the Republican establishment complains about Trump, is there not some taste of justice in seeing the engineers of unlimited political spending hoist by their own petard? By what moral standard could we say that Trump is an extremist, but Scott Walker is not?

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32046-fox-so-called-news-is-gop-tv-in-the-21st-century
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: It's time to stop calling the Fox cable TV network a "news" network and start calling it what it is: a propaganda network for billionaires like Rupert Murdoch, who own the Republican Party. It's Roger Ailes' dream of "GOP TV" come to life.
