Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee highlights the peculiar relationship between an alleged Russian spy and the NRA. She also pointedly notes that the NRA, which typically blasts back at the slightest intimation of criticism, has been markedly silent on this issue: no comments since the news broke on July 17th with the indictment of Maria Butina by the Justice Department. Hmmm.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
