Love watching MSNBC tout their “objectivity.” Guess what folks, they’re owned by COMCAST! Objectively speaking they couldn’t be objective if their paychecks depended upon it.
Why is RSN more honest with you? You are the ones that fund it.
We scratching for a budget.

EXCERPT:
CBP plans 10 of these towers across the Tohono O’odham reservation, which spans an area roughly the size of Connecticut. Two will be located near residential areas, including Rivas’s neighborhood, which is home to about 50 people. To build them, CBP has entered a $26 million contract with the U.S. division of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest military company.
Tohono O’odham people used to move freely across these lands, Rivas says, but following years of harassment by Border Patrol agents, many are afraid to venture far from their homes.
“Now we won’t be able to go anywhere near here without the big U.S.-Israeli eyes monitoring us, watching our every move,” she says.
