It is the goal of this blog to be an oasis in the hostile wilderness of disinformation, discrimination, and dishonesty that the mainstream media, including mainstream blogs and other new media outlets, have become.
We are part of a burgeoning group of bloggers, writers, and citizens who are joining together to fight back against the corrupt leadership of the DNC, their “chosen” candidate, and the mainstream media that enables them. Please visit the sites on the blogroll. We really are either all in this together, or all outside alone. Contribute your comments, insights, and advice. Feel free to lurk, but feel freer to participate.
We strive to provide and foster sane political analysis and honest debate. We aim to be a forum, a bulletin board, a sounding board, and a voice for the 18 million Democrats who have been told our votes and our voices don’t matter and that we are unnecessary and unwelcome.
We will help rescue and revive the crucial Media Critique which was abandoned by so many mainstream blogs and so-called “progressive” writers when they decided to jump on the bandwagon of an untested and unready candidate and became mere propagandists for the right-wing noise machine.
We will fight the misogyny, the elitism, and the divisiveness — engendered by an unprincipled candidate and his campaign and amplified by their willing enablers in the media — that threatens to tear the Democratic party apart.
This is the Puma blog. People United Means Action.
Welcome.
