QuoteA young Detroit couple who helped controversial New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez win election last year as a democratic socialist are now launching a pro-socialism media company from their house on the city's east side.

Their company, Means TV, is an Internet-only web streaming service that, for a monthly $10 subscription, would offer entertainment programming with "pro-worker" and "anti-capitalist" viewpoints, including original TV shows, talk shows, comedy sketches, reality TV and on-the-ground reporting.

The service is the brainchild of filmmakers Naomi Burton, 29, and Nick Hayes, 22, a girlfriend-boyfriend duo who gained national attention last year for producing a campaign video for Ocasio-Cortez that went viral and helped to propel the formerly unknown candidate to an upset Democratic primary victory.

Hmmm.. produced "a campaign video" ... in a largely uncontested district, where the incumbent was asleep-at-the-wheel, and won district ('cause 16k voted), so that's a mandate!    Word has gone out, they need $500k for the first year (of their retirement/vacation package?), to launch the project, and charge $10 a month per person.  What's The Blaze TV charging, $8...?   MEH - Communism simply costs MORE... can't make this stuff up, but in the face of Venezuela failing in their lifetime, I can hardly wait, excuses please!?

QuoteBurton and Hayes said they were both brought up in Democratic-voting households and over time lost faith in that political party's elected officials.

"I grew up with this idea that Democrats were morally right. And after 2016, I realized that they're all full of (expletive) — it's not true. After eight years of Obama, nothing happened, except things got worse," Burton said.

Sigh...  OK, they lost faith in the Democrats.   What the hell were they expecting?   Obama made things WORSE, well... hello!?   Maybe your Marxist dreams of central planning, government owns all and controls all ... simply suck.  Could they do a test run... in Venezuela, get Maduro to kick in a few million bucks he stole (or gazillion whatever), and see how they receive it?   Spreading the glories of misery- how does one sell "enslavement to the government", with Venezuela staring them in the face?

We're really fortunate, President Donald Trump (libs hate that) was elected, and despite the efforts of many corrupt swamp dwellers, Trump has managed to move his agenda of "Making America Great Again" forward.   Eight years of Obama malaise...  I don't understand why these idiots are burying their heads in the Dem sand box.  But, here we go again, Commies... lying & begging.  Funny how that works... we need to return the message in 2020, America will never become a Socialist nation.

They look pleasant. The woman has a face like a foggy day in Blackpool. I'm not paying 10 quid a month to watch two boring economics dunces spout decades old Marxist talking points from their living room.

I love this article. 'Bernie radicalized us'. LOL!  There is nothing "radical about Bernie. He's lazy, ignorant and bitter. Expecting others to pay for you and constantly obsessing about how much other people have is not radical.

If they don't see Bernie the socialist became a millionaire by living as a capitalist there is no hope for them.

Isn't that the dream of every rebellious youngster, become a RADICAL, wage warfare against the man, fight the system!
.. until the power company shuts disconnects, the landlord evicts and your old lady gets knocked up ( suddenly WANTS to keep the baby - "WTF, you said you were Pro-Choice!?").  All the chaos they dreamed of ... has hit you, "responsibility" looks like the the only way out.

You look around... and your buddies have cars (that run), own homes (with heat & running water), and seem generally happy - although they'll spout all the Communist sayings - like Bernie.  Capitalism is -everywhere- but your place!  Succumb to the "man" or fight on...?  A steak dinner ... sure beats reheated pizza.  Most of your crazy friends are.. in psych wards or O.D. & dead.   Sure Bernie's got some good ideas, but strayed when he got rich (the bastard).


$500,000 to start a "cutting edge" Socialist-Marxist-Communist entertainment channel?   And *how* are they going to compete with the main stream media?  Oh, I get it, like all the Socialism failures, it would have worked, if it was done right...?

I thought they are socialists. How come they are charging for the news channel?
