I feel sorry for Sean. He's obviously incapable of critical thought, as evidenced by him gripping his head early in the video. He's also only kept around for his hot-headed inflammatory statements. He insults anyone who disagrees with him?
Democracy Now is an excellent source of news. Fox gives about as much news as Jerry Springer. Fox should be sued for every episode that labels itself news.
@jegabond You clearly don't understand economics. The workers shouldn't make as much as the business owner because they didn't do the same work the owner did. If the workers have an issue with that, then they are free to quit and create their own business to compete with their former employer. Why should an unskilled laborer get all the same stuff as the guy who sacrificed to start his own business? There are makers and there are takers, you sound like you are proud to be a taker.
Wow, that guy is a complete nut. He overlooked the fact that the US is not even a democracy. Never has been, never will be. As far as him wanting socialism, why would he want that? Socialism has a 100% failure rate in history. That is like being surrounded by gasoline and lighting a match because sure every time that has happened in the past the gasoline exploded, but this time it will be different. Sure it will nut job.
I mean it's already a huge step forward that Hannity doesn't interrupt him a very long time but it's not surprising that he is not able to engage in a debate or in any exchange of arguments. He is able to shut up for a while but not to counter any point at all. When he then decided to interrupt he wasn't able to say anything above the level of the usual "Hates America"-Line.
lol Sean is funny. But anyway, all you people here are idiot slaves either way. The right says democracy now! is bias, and the left says fox news is bias......well guess what?....both are bias, ive watched both and any idiot can see they are both bias to their political agendas. I'll give some credit to Fox news....They let leftests on their show, where as democracy now 99.9% of the time has leftest. Never the other side of the argument. All you people stop being sheep. All news is bias.
@tomitstube Definition of News - information about recent and important events. Fox is news regardless of whatever way they spin it. Stop being so angry, it makes you look stupid. Have a nice day.
@Dagon0088 ~ fox is a political organization. and a tabloid. everyone knows it, even the people in fox say it. under your definition anything qualifies for "news". and if that is true, this country is in a whole lot of trouble.
a little thing called facts would be helpful, fox doesn't bother with FACTS, that's why it has no credibility as a "news" source. and to prove this, fox viewers were surveyed as the least knowledgeable viewers of... wait for it... FACTS.
@tomitstube So if I turn on fox news right now and i hear whoever say "people are protesting in Libya" that is not a news fact? Hmmmm could have fooled me. Fox news, cnn, aj jazera and democracy now are programs that give you news mixed with political bias crap. Its still news. Fox news isnt the only political news organization. This country is in trouble because people like you demonize only half the problem...and that half is the people who dont agree with you. And they do the same to you.
@tomitstube When repubs are in power the dems lobby and do everything they can to make sure they dont get anything done, and when the dems are in power the repubs do the same. Do you see a pattern? So our poltical bias as a country is holding us back.....hmmmm maybe we need a monarchy?
@Dagon0088 ~ you continue with a false equivalency. the difference is obvious. fox doesn't provide facts, which, as i said, is why fox viewers are the least informed of facts. just because they say there's protests in lybia isn't telling the news, reporting why it's happening and the implications is "reporting" the news. bias is ok, but fox sells fabrications. the times they've been caught in lies is huge. and what to they do? continue to push the lie. there are standards fox ignores!

When are the people of the United States going to realize that we do NOT live in a Democracy? The United States of America is and has always been a Republic and has been based on a written Constitution since 1789. The founding fathers knew the dangers of Democracy and that it becomes tyrannical.....Democracy is rule by the people, which sounds great, but does not work well......when majority rules, then the minority is ruled with no one to stand up for them
@Mafcoupe1930 The founding fathers where terrified of a democracy because it threatened their property rights(slaves,land). America is a plutocracy, or country governed by the rich with a government working for them. Your absolutely right about the fear of democracy among the founding fathers, however your naive in thinking the FF's gave two shits about minorities or the working man because this government was established by the rich, for the rich. Democracy doesent work? we should try first.
wow. how many of you would love to grab a hammer and get hannity alone in a room for 5 minutes, knowing beforehand that there would be no later repercussions...
I get that Fox news puches a political view... but why is it so un-professional in doing so? Its so crass its ridiculous and works againts the goal anyway....
Listen to Hannity berate Bertell Ollman for wanting to inform people without paying to do so. Hannity believe those with money are the only ones with rights to present the news to people. The best source for news is Democracy Now! Watch it. It will make you feel much better.
This guy is badass!!! Hannity sounds as desperate as the dictators he claims to hate, while neglecting to acknowledge the more socialist, more successful nations which DO exist.
@Averyofthemain Not really, once the proffessor pulled out his web address for democracy now, you could see Hannitys facial expression, he lost it. He got destroyed on his own show and he knew it. This happened a few times with Colmes and thus, poor Colmes isn't there anymore. Get my drift?
The media try to make socialism look bad because they work for the capitalistic government. They really screwed up putting this prof. on the show...haha suckers! If you want real news in the world today you have to get it on youtube. It's only a matter of time before our government shuts youtube down, claiming its a "national security issue," and the revolution begins.
@XanyaV It's you, the commie-leaning left that's trying to shut down the net, called 'net-neutrality', your authoritarian revolution may begin, but will end as quickly because you and all your friends will be in OUR crosshairs.
Sucks to know people actually watch and are influenced by this "show"... How can the people aware of the real issues we face as humans get past this type of journalism and unfair use of the media? They are distorting and manipulating the meaning of words to scare people away from wanting to know more about certain things or ideas.
@ohnoemynameistaken The things that scare people away from socialism and communism isn't the crass manipulation of words--BUT THE VAST CATALOG OF LEFTIST ATROCITY INHERENT IN YOUR PHILOSOPHY. Freedom and leftism cannot co-exist.
Unfortunately, Sean Hannity, the alternative media (aka "the truth") cannot afford to think in terms of commerce, or breaking even for their efforts. We are so desperate to get real news and good information out there, that we are giving it away for free-unlike you and your shamless co-workers at FAUX "News". You're a bunch of amoral, neo-conservative, pseudo- Christian corporatists who have warped and perverted the level of political discouse in this country almost to the point of no return.
obviously they picked up a leftist professor who looks like a crazy hippie leftover. This reminds me of how the nazis showed their superiority by stereotyping a jew to mock and scorn. this is disgusting. I can't believe this is happening in the US. The sad part is that many people agrees with Hannity, another naive cow completely brainwashed by media entertainment and self glorification.
@Josh15dean Questioning the mainstream? Like you're a fucking saint. Socialism has libraries of atrocity to it's name--'questioning the mainstream'? Get bent.
@Averyofthemain To Black Nationalists, Feminists, Fascists and Douchebags of every stripe I remain an object of sincere misery. In the dimly lit corridors of Youtube monsters prowl unchecked, confident in their pulpit, swaggering beneath the girth of their self-importance....... blaaaah bblllahhhhhhhhhh bllllaaaahhhhhh IM SO FUCKING EDGY!!!!!!!! Eat a fat dick fuck knob. wtf? Is "Get bent" the best you can come up with? A fucking Bart Simpson quote?
Talk about breaking the sound-barrier, even on Fox! Ollman is great. Colmes is an idiot. How can socialism be a failed system if it's never existed? Duh... And as for Hannity about free advertising, I'm sure no one else ever did a plug on Fox...gimme a break. Really pathetic how they tried to snatch his sign away!
@psbjr thats correct you libveral fuck , you left wing lunes and you right wing ass holes need to get the fuck out of politisc and my world in general , you cunt !! grow the fuck up!!
Sure and talk about how bad European-White-Affluent-Males are and how everyone else in the world can do no wrong. DN does much good but is biased like all others.
@liveguns "democracy now" pffff! just another conglomerate obtaining most of its money from corporations who force it to silence their guests and other past guests rarely if ever, get invited, like chomsky
@slovakmath wtf are you talking about? I mean it's correct to use chomsky as a litmus test for how legit a news organization is, but DemocracyNow mentions the guy practically every other day. her and Amy Goodman seem like best buds.
@madProgenitorDeity i know that goodman loves him and admires him (rightfully so) but she isn't the boss& she isnt the advertising corporation which forcees certain principles. chomsky's interviews are prerecorded (they do for nobody else) &checked to see if it contains anything outside of what the managers want. in the past a higher up was listening to All Things Considered when he heard that Chomsky would be coming on after the break. He called & canceled the entire interview.
@slovakmath What advertising corporation? Who advertises on DemocracyNow? Who are they accountable to for revenue other than their viewership? How is this advertising model at all comparable to any MSM outlet? As for your anecdote: source, please.
@madProgenitorDeity I realize its a good source for certain information at least in USA compared to the others, the reason i wrote to you was to make sure you learn its not perfect.
"want real news ? go to democracy now!" There is no such thing a a SINGLE news source that a person can rely on. Its a heavily regulated business. If advertisers dont like what the show is doing then their money stops. This obviously influences their output of information, once this happens they are biased
@slovakmath Very often I see Amy Goodman peddling chomsky DVDs and asking for donations. Have you watched much democracy now? Advertisements are very spare on it.
@madProgenitorDeity if you want to learn how to get a proper well-rounded source of information , why dont you follow Chomsky's own example? He would never be so foolish to consider DM or NPR as a proper "single source" news station. he even is highly critical of it on many occasions in his books, and everything I said has been also said by him, but he goes further, and he criticizes it almost as often as he does the NYT and WSJ.
@slovakmath You didn't address my earlier point--DN receives most of its funding from private donors rather than advertisers. You called it "another conglomerate obtaining most of its money from corporations", going on to compare it to the NYT and WSJ which work under an advertising model . Finally, you've also shown no examples of any corporate bias DN may have. If Chomsky is ever critical of NPR, it's certainly regarding what they refuse to say rather than bias from their revenue stream.
HAHAHA I love how fox news interviews people they're scared of by constantly attacking them and not giving them a chance to explain themselves. They essentially believe what they want to believe before, during, and after the interviews while they just attack guests like him by calling him a socialist throughout the interview. I wonder where these guys learned that the way to interview someone is to keep interrupting them and not give them a chance to speak?
@cireodeca Way to go, Fox and CNN are both shit, neither of the these two so called news broadcasters are really anything more than a mechanism to brain wash the US citizen into a way of thinking which serves the governments purposes.
@reddesertsands very wrong. Fox news brainwashes people into favoring corporate interests and CNN doesn't brainwash people. CNN just sucks. I think the last time i heard news on CNN was back in '94 when i was 3. This has hardly anything to do with the government. It is a clash of the social inequality and repression of the lower classes in America. There is a reason 80 % (2007 study) of Americans own only 7 % of the total financial wealth of America. you must question everything you hear.
Awesome, broadcasting direct from the devil's lair, gj professor. Has any empire been a force for good in the world? were the british, the french or the romans? (besides inventing things and spreading technology) This is what america is today, as with every other, we have been at war since we took the torch from the british. wars that correspond to our economic interests, this is not surprising, it is repetition.
Is America a force for good, I don't think so, invading Iraq without finding weapons of mass destructions, fighting an endless war in Afghanistan, and now trying to start another war with Iran, while at the same time clearing the way for India to make a nuclear weapon.
Hannity is a talking head. He looks and sounds like a undereducated fool. He needs to listen to someone other than himself, O'Reily and Rush. GET OUT OF YOU BOX HANNITY. Who believes these idiots? At least the Professor sounds informed, articulate and not radical at all.
Thank you professor, we the people, the poor and the middle class give you an A+++++++++... ;-)
And yes tristramshandy3, nothing wrong with money, it could be seen as a form of energy that should flow from those towards that create and produce heaven on Earth. Not destroying whatever is left of our one shared planet.
Democracy Now! is an excellent news source. Anyone that has any interest in impartial and critical information should go there, it's about the only place you'll get it.
Nothing is wrong with making money. Everything is wrong with focusing on money at the expense of what really matters in this short life.
I really do see hyper, market- minded capitalists as warped individuals. I think it's a sickness. A lot of brilliant people have agreed with me. A lot of brilliant people have said I was insane.
Great job, Professor!! I wonder how many people Hannity has interviewed who were hawking their recently published books or other material? Were they "typical socialists trying to get free advertising?"
I am glad colmes is off the show. He was such a pussy and only served as Hannity's b****. Now Hannity jsut makes a fool of himself.
I do not agree. Where else can you see real idiots like these? It's worth seeing these 2 clowns, because otherwise its hard to believe there are people like that.
fuck hannity he is the biggest dumb ass ever he and his fuckin audience are retarded if these assholes had their way we would be still burning people for saying the earth is round he can have the truth in front of him and he would not recognize it what a prick
As for the military I believe in self-defense and do think it has a role. As thoreau said though, the standing army is only an arm of the standing government.
I'm very happy and proud to live here too. I'm not proud however of the authoritarian and hierarchical institutions that make up society, which despise freedom and equality. I don't think the US was built on capitalism and rewarding hard work as much as it was it was built in struggle against it... I get my news from all of the wonderful independent sources you can discover on the internet. Democracy now is my favorite...
are you really bothered by my type-o, or do you actually think it's the state/military that fights for all your freedoms? get real. and do you actually watch these mainstream news shows to inform yourself about the state of the world? just asking.
I happen to be very proud to live in this country. I don't need Hannity, Limbaugh, Olbermann or Matthews to tell me this country was built on Capitalism and rewarding hard work... not Socialism and entitlements. I am also very proud of our military and the protections they provide. Please enlighten me... where do you get your worldly information? Do you believe the military has NOTHING to do with the freedoms you enjoy? Just asking.
Read the graphic history of the Industrial Workers of the World, a mostly anarcho-syndicalist organization that was formed in 1905 and was the most radical of labor unions.
The point is most people praise United Snakes imperialism and militarism and say things like "our brave men and women in uniform fight to protect our freedom" as if the government and military has made the greatness of the US. On the contrary, it has been the people who struggled against the elites who gave us everything.
yes remember the Haymarket massacre ?? working people died there for our 8 hour work day remember the women movement ?? remember the civil rights movement ? nothing from civil rights to labor rights to women rights was given in this country it was only TAKEN by popular movements read your history
wow. i love to see this. i love this man. i mean i would be shocked if this even aired on TV. but for fox or any corporate news to promotes progressive media is shocking. i don't understand the way these news casters think. i mean who the fuck is drilling the idea into their heads that america is a force for good in the world. (with our money we do some good things). however it seems that america is not fulfilling it's full potential of being a positive world force. something is in the way?
Fox wanted to try and win the argument by saying that we are a force fro good in the world by building an empire around the world and socializing our way of protection and government around the world, yet call this guy a socialist? I suppose I am grabbing at straws. :)
Down with FOX.......notice how they make the professor out to be a bad man from the get go!!! sean confronts...blah blah blah....HIS LOWEST GRADE EVER!! oh, how dare he give sean a low grade, how dare he......gimme a break FOX NEWS....disgusting
Who is he. I love this humble professor. What is Hannity's full name. Someday people will raid all the FOX stations and take away their equipments for good. They are confident that they know your psychology. Try pay attention at how they push buttons, they are bitchy.
Wow I knew FOX news was moronic but this took the cake. I can't believe that Americans can even watch this show. If you keep interrupting someone's counter point you still aren't proving your's!!!
Two fox news assholes. wouldnt let the guy make his point and kept interupting him and laughing at him. And Fox is the reason that a lot of Americans are unaware of the reality of what is going on in the world today
In a comment somebody has asked for a fact check. Remember those covert ops movies and john wayne stuff. USA has been involved in overthrowing legitimate governments in nearly 50 countries. This information, is available for US citizens who have the time and patience to sit through it..oh and maybe some heart and stomach too..or else you could listen to Amy goodman or john pilger etc and open ur eyes and mind.
Forcing you to stay with the system by manipulating people just like big communist leaders did / do. (At least they were more honest) You call that freedom?
yeah, yeah, yeah. the regime, the regime. we'll see in this next election. the regime will change, and your u.s.a. will still be in the shitter. and then what will the left say? the sky is falling, the sky is falling!
Hannity lacks creativity. However he is great at making sure that he pushes his pat answers every chance he gets. Notice how he boils everything down to, "Is America great?" as the real root of whether socialism could work... amazingly irrelevant.
I feel sorry for Sean. He's obviously incapable of critical thought, as evidenced by him gripping his head early in the video. He's also only kept around for his hot-headed inflammatory statements. He insults anyone who disagrees with him?

Talk about breaking the sound-barrier, even on Fox! Ollman is great. Colmes is an idiot. How can socialism be a failed system if it's never existed? Duh... And as for Hannity about free advertising, I'm sure no one else ever did a plug on Fox...gimme a break. Really pathetic how they tried to snatch his sign away!

@slovakmath wtf are you talking about? I mean it's correct to use chomsky as a litmus test for how legit a news organization is, but DemocracyNow mentions the guy practically every other day. her and Amy Goodman seem like best buds.
madProgenitorDeity 5 months ago
@madProgenitorDeity i know that goodman loves him and admires him (rightfully so) but she isn't the boss& she isnt the advertising corporation which forcees certain principles. chomsky's interviews are prerecorded (they do for nobody else) &checked to see if it contains anything outside of what the managers want. in the past a higher up was listening to All Things Considered when he heard that Chomsky would be coming on after the break. He called & canceled the entire interview.

@slovakmath What advertising corporation? Who advertises on DemocracyNow? Who are they accountable to for revenue other than their viewership? How is this advertising model at all comparable to any MSM outlet? As for your anecdote: source, please.
madProgenitorDeity 3 months ago
@madProgenitorDeity I realize its a good source for certain information at least in USA compared to the others, the reason i wrote to you was to make sure you learn its not perfect.
"want real news ? go to democracy now!" There is no such thing a a SINGLE news source that a person can rely on. Its a heavily regulated business. If advertisers dont like what the show is doing then their money stops. This obviously influences their output of information, once this happens they are biased
slovakmath 5 months ago
@slovakmath Very often I see Amy Goodman peddling chomsky DVDs and asking for donations. Have you watched much democracy now? Advertisements are very spare on it.
madProgenitorDeity 5 months ago
@madProgenitorDeity if you want to learn how to get a proper well-rounded source of information , why dont you follow Chomsky's own example? He would never be so foolish to consider DM or NPR as a proper "single source" news station. he even is highly critical of it on many occasions in his books, and everything I said has been also said by him, but he goes further, and he criticizes it almost as often as he does the NYT and WSJ.
slovakmath 4 months ago
@slovakmath You didn't address my earlier point--DN receives most of its funding from private donors rather than advertisers. You called it "another conglomerate obtaining most of its money from corporations", going on to compare it to the NYT and WSJ which work under an advertising model . Finally, you've also shown no examples of any corporate bias DN may have. If Chomsky is ever critical of NPR, it's certainly regarding what they refuse to say rather than bias from their revenue stream.

I wonder where these guys learned that the way to interview someone is to keep interrupting them and not give them a chance to speak?

@cireodeca Way to go, Fox and CNN are both shit, neither of the these two so called news broadcasters are really anything more than a mechanism to brain wash the US citizen into a way of thinking which serves the governments purposes.
reddesertsands 2 years ago
@reddesertsands very wrong. Fox news brainwashes people into favoring corporate interests and CNN doesn't brainwash people. CNN just sucks. I think the last time i heard news on CNN was back in '94 when i was 3. This has hardly anything to do with the government. It is a clash of the social inequality and repression of the lower classes in America. There is a reason 80 % (2007 study) of Americans own only 7 % of the total financial wealth of America. you must question everything you hear.

Read the graphic history of the Industrial Workers of the World, a mostly anarcho-syndicalist organization that was formed in 1905 and was the most radical of labor unions.
The point is most people praise United Snakes imperialism and militarism and say things like "our brave men and women in uniform fight to protect our freedom" as if the government and military has made the greatness of the US. On the contrary, it has been the people who struggled against the elites who gave us everything.
