1. We Have Been Taken Over Here in Portland Oregon's Oregonian by Right Wing Wealth

Yes, You saw it here first in Portland Oregon a wealthy new owner has destroyed our local paper The Oregonian. Now we have a constant drumbeat of hate toward public employees, their pensions, public education, liberal or left politicians. They attach Democratic Party politicians and shamelessly publish unflattering photos and stories about them. The website comments are filled with Right Wing hate too.
They have destroyed many up and coming young people who wanted to go into politics. Now it is much harder for decent people to run
for office as the attacks are merciless. They are destroying confidence in government and hurting the public good. We used to have a decent newspaper, not it is right wing tabloid garbage. How very sad, look out when these wealthy owners come to your town!
