I appreciate Thom's wisdom that's why I have been listening to him and subscribe to his report. But in the past 7 years Thom's facts have become selective and are presented in a biased fashion that does not help solve problems or mobilize people into action. His obsession with (obvious) Republican malfeasance and propping of of Trump by constantly giving him airtime is what he has to do to maintain the liberal audience. This is not the Thom Hartmann of 20 years ago, as erudite as his writings may be. He has called Nancy Pelosi a progressive, Hillary Clinton was a "brilliant" Secretary of State and was an "identical" candidate to Bernie Sanders. These and so many other false assertions lead to a complacency among the liberal base and Americans in general that they accept the crumbs thrown to them by neoliberal Democrats and a foreign policy based on escalation of war and interventional war steeped in a nationalism that Thom himself is stoking. His show has become a form of state-run media, existing almost exclusively to protect the Democratic Party which precludes the critical thinking vital to sustain the "democracy" he claims to be protecting.
Over the last several months I have asked a number of Republican friends to list 10 good conservative Republican ideas about how to make America better for everyone . . . the Republicans have no good ideas. If they do they must be classified top secret and nobody has clearance.
