The point of journalism is to hold people in positions of power accountable.

We need to boycott the mainstream media, and we need to go online, and we need to find credible news sources.
If the U.S. is the richest country in the world, why is it also the most unequal?
The Constitution has become a convenient tool and talking point for politicians that get paid by the NRA. The same goes for Americans who just love their guns, so suddenly they're Constitutional scholars who care about what our founding fathers allegedly wanted.
Trolls live in their own pathetic bubble, and it's called Twitter.
Let's keep it real - the only time some right wingers pretend they care about protecting women from sexual assault is when they want to discriminate against the trans community.
Little by little, the U.S. has allowed questionable domestic policies to chip away at the only hope poor students have at a better future. The Right Wing loves to distract voters from these realities by making it seem as though the poor remain so because they lack the work ethic necessary to 'pull themselves up by their bootstraps.'
It's really difficult for mainstream - let's say, cable outlets - to talk about things like income inequality, wealth inequality when the advertisers that are funding their shows are the same corporations that want to ensure that the same system continues.
Who is Allen West? What is Allen West doing with his time? He's the most irrelevant person in America.
It is frustrating that religion in general includes components that treat women as a support system for a man rather than a leader or equal player in the relationship.
No one disagrees that undocumented criminals should be deported.
The abuse on Twitter has become so commonplace and accepted that people have literally made careers out of it.
What I never seem to understand about feminist-bashing conservative women is their inability to see how ironic it is that they attend political rallies, share their opinions, and cast their ballots when the America they're nostalgic about wouldn't allow them to do any of those things.
Income inequality and government corruption are both unfortunate realities in the United States.
I've always wanted to do what I'm doing for the news, but I hate the idea of being some sort of celebrity.
If you value the democratic process, you have to value the protection of political speech.
When the NRA is funding your campaign and giving you, you know, millions of dollars, are you likely to pass gun legislation or support it? No, and I think that's the reason why we see members of Congress refusing to do anything.
Income inequality has become so prevalent in the U.S. that examples of its negative impact on the middle class are as common as Kanye West saying something cringeworthy in the media.
I always imagined myself doing what Barbara Walters did on '20/20.' That, essentially, is what inspired me to go to journalism school.
Fox News is garbage.
I'm seeing too much power being concentrated in the executive branch, and so our system of government is really in jeopardy, and more importantly, the overwhelming issue that we've had for a long time is money in politics. I see that problem getting worse.
Young people overwhelmingly supported Bernie because he wasn't the standard politician. He let his hands flail around as he passionately spoke about the issues that sincerely matter to him. He was real.
The reality is that passion and emotion go hand in hand.
If the federal government is so concerned with why people are deciding against having kids, maybe they should consider how little support and protection the middle class gets when it comes to being parents. Paid leave would be a good start, and increasing wages would also help.
I always wanted to be part of the media. I knew I wanted to work as a journalist.
Liberals genuinely believe that this country is about helping one another out and doing it for the greater good.
When I graduated, I was really lucky because I got hired immediately by CBS as a production assistant.
Former Congressman Aaron Schock was applauded for his fitness when he flaunted his six pack on the cover of 'Men's Health.' Using his sweet pecs didn't end his career, although using taxpayer money to lavishly decorate his office did.
As you get older, you're humbled by the fact that you're a moron.
What's worse - loneliness or a relationship that inevitably leads to costly therapy sessions?
When it comes to Buttigieg, he doesn't want to reveal what his actual policies are, where his stances are - and for some reason, he is better than all these other candidates in the eyes of mainstream media pundits.
While I'm sure some millennials are concerned with the ethical issues involved in mining for diamonds, the main reason they steer clear of the gems is because, well, they're a dumb investment.
Nearly every politician plagiarizes their speeches, because nearly every politician has a speech writer do the work for them.
The NRA is funded by weapons manufacturers, and those same manufacturers know that they stand to lose some business if we pass common-sense gun legislation. As a result, the NRA contributes money to politicians to ensure that gun control never happens.
The only time the issue of abortion ever comes up - and you'll notice this pattern - is when there's a presidential election coming around. When there's a presidential election, all of a sudden, 'Oh my God, we care so much about the babies.'
Trump might have a populist message that resonates with some voters, but the man doesn't care about any of the people he's appealing to.
Income inequality has made having kids, much like getting a quality college education, a rich person's privilege.
It's a little hard to go out there and spend your money on a home, car, or goods and services if your wages are being garnished to make debt collectors rich.
I'm not going to tone down my rhetoric, and I'm not going to censor myself in sharing what I believe to be the truth. People could either love that or hate that, but I'm not really interested in playing games in order to appeal to a broader audience.
Yes, the United States deserves criticism for meddling in other elections, but that doesn't mean that we should give foreign nationals the opportunity to meddle in ours.
In states like California alone, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants contribute a great deal to society and the health of the economy.
There's a two-tier justice system. And anyone who denies it is either naive or in denial. This is what the reality of America is. If you have certain privileges, if you're from a certain socioeconomic status, you have a certain skin color, the odds are in your favor.
We look at individuals who would vote for Donald Trump as if... we kind of undervalue them. And we underestimated them.
People get so terrified that the government might take their guns away that they stockpile as much as they can afford. They've been led to believe that there will be an outright ban of guns, so they drink the NRA propaganda and spend their money on more weapons.
Regardless of how deplorable Trump is, using violence and physical attacks against his supporters is unacceptable and grossly counterproductive.
When the vast majority of strangers you interact with are trolls on social media, it slowly begins to chip away at your love for humanity.
There are great news anchors; they're probably very smart, but they're not talking to the audience like real people. They're just reading from a teleprompter.
I did graduate early and even received my master's degree in political science before I turned 22.
If people are anything but enthusiastic about the information or ideas that they're sharing, they're either not that invested in what they're doing - or they're not communicating that investment effectively.
The push to defund public schools and reroute taxpayer money to charters and private institutions is actually a very clever strategy by the Right Wing, which has always had a great deal of disdain for a system that forces them to pay taxes toward some other kid's non-religious, science-based education.
