This excerpt from the Rachel Maddow Show exposes the faux passion behind the Town Hall confrontationists.
The sad part of these spectacles is not that vital reform may be killed because it is genuinely opposed by citizens who have a better plan, rather, it can be seen as near criminal behavior because it is,in fact, corporations acting against the public good to protect profits: profits over people. That offers a sad fate for this nation's future, although it's really nothing new.

I really, really, really support you in this.
And I really, really, really wish you could be as passionate about issues facing the city of New Albany as you are about the national ones.
This city council might be worse than the one preceding it, and part of the reason is that the ones with an independent brain seem determined not to use it.
ohn, can you please be a leader for us right here at home?
New Albanian:
I don't mean this as a brush off answer but, I share your frustration.
The Rachel Maddows Show is a great fact-based program.

Granted "facts" can be displayed in a favorable or unfavorable light when offered on today's news/opinion shows.
But, I'd wager one "fact" offered by Rachel Maddow would hold more veracity than ten "facts" offered by Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck or O'Reilly on the right wing noise front.
And don't forget Lou Dobbs and his pursuit of brain drain practiced by the so-called Birthers.
I agree the news media has veered into questionable territory in these days after the demise of the Fairness Doctrine. It seems unlikely that particular toothpaste will be easily or effectively put back in the tube. It's quite lucrative left uncapped
