RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:02 PM

Maybe we should introduce ourselves
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:03 PM

What did you think of when Lee went from youtube video message to a big tv show all of his own? Was it a good idea? HAS it been a good idea?
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:03 PM

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:03 PM

“i mostly like it. = D”

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:03 PM

so those who aren't familiar with Lee's background he started his own web series Moment of Clarity, which was briefly followed by The Moment of Clarity Show, before he got picked up for Redacted Tonight on RT
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:04 PM

The MOC show was really good grounding for what he is doing today
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:04 PM

If you go to his youtube channel you can view the Moment of Clarity videos

Rachel McDonnell · 11:05 PM

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:05 PM

yes, Redacted juts got their own youtube channel, awesome! :)
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:05 PM

do you think the tv world is ready for a show like Lee's?
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:06 PM

Ok so Lee sort of rose up from this web series to a host of a kick ass new comedy news show on RT, and it is pretty awesome! :)
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:06 PM

biting the bum of truth and telling the world how asshahts are corupting our society
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:06 PM

They might not be ready, but it is SO NEEDED
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:06 PM

you have NO idea Rachel!
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:07 PM

A spoonful of comedy/satire makes the truth go down SO much better. dont ya think?
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:07 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“yes it is! i just hope people take the information seriously, couched as it is in comedy.”

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:07 PM

why do you think comedy in this way works so well?
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:07 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“easier to swallow and easier to "laugh it off" perhaps.”

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:07 PM

Yeah it does, I think when people laugh at these things or hear the stories they cover it makes the people think
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:08 PM

or hopefully it does, because it is CRAZY how much our main stream media DOESN'T tell us
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:08 PM

and that's where Redacted comes in :)
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:08 PM

i wish the show as a n hour long tho. half an hour just doesnt seem long enough to me
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:08 PM

Maybe easier to laugh it off, but I feel like they do a good job of making horrific things funny on purpose, to provoke thought
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:09 PM

John F O'Donnell does this alot with his sardonic segments - he is awesome as well
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:09 PM

jon stewart is an asshat and stephen colbert has practically sold himself to the devil
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:09 PM

oh my goodness - John is hella funny!!
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:09 PM

yeah well and the reality is they just can't talk about these things Redacted can, because they work for corporations that wouldn't allow it
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:09 PM

he is a maniac of hellium
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:09 PM

*on
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:10 PM

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:15 PM

Lucy Dyer · 11:17 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“well, it was happening early in the day, in south carolina, or north.”

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:18 PM

If you have not heard about Greg Palast's investigation on the voter rolls
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:18 PM

robin, it was happening everywhere. its just that the MSM didnt tell you. or didnt want to tell you
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:18 PM

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:19 PM

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:20 PM

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:20 PM

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:20 PM

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:20 PM

so I was really saddened by how LITTLE independent votes actually counted in my state at least, it is really said that true progress really is SO hard to gain
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:21 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“what do you mean about the climate change report being coincidence?”

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:21 PM

that report was bad news. it said the coal business had to end. bad for the big asshaht fat cats
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:22 PM

and you wonder why it was released BEFORE these elections, when everyone would be more concerned with that than the report
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:22 PM

and then the majority elected in midterms ended up being republicans.. good luck with that.. heck even most of the democrats are making too much money off of it
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:23 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“yep, we're sunk”

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:23 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“i heard about the report. all i could think was, "how UNDERPLAYED that was!" great, nothing will happen, yet again.”

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:23 PM

yeah that is not uncommon, they wait until people aren't paying attention, I don't even want to KNOW the shady deals they are passing every superbowl sunday
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:23 PM

or ya know every sunday a sport is on :p
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:23 PM

Robin, thats where folk like me and you and Redacted Tonight come in - we AMKE people see the shit in it
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:24 PM

yep, I was said to see how little effect independent and green party voters have right now, the only way for true change is to continue just trying to wake people up to the truth
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:24 PM

btw Lee just retweeted us, so expect an influx of folk :-)
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:24 PM

Redacted is one of the ONLY TV shows and the only news comedy show out there that will tell you the things everyone else can't
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:24 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“i don't feel like anyone pays much attention to anything i have to say about it. they are blissfully unaware.”

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:25 PM

and that is fucking sad (scuse my language)
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:25 PM

That is the tough thing about being aware and knowing these things.
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:25 PM

apart from Redacted and Breaking the Set, NO news outlet has the balls to say what they feel. what is wrong.
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:26 PM

I have a funny story about becoming a lee fan actually, I stumbled onto one of his videos and I was just so outraged by these facts and stories that I WASN'T being told. for a split second I thought screw this, I'm just going to forget-
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:26 PM

i love the angles that redacted comes in at on topics.
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:26 PM

but I couldn't, it just made me mad and then I was like ok we got work to do...
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:26 PM

yes if you don't watch Breaking the Set that is a great show, I like Off the Grid too
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:26 PM

i think Lee would be kinda proud that one of his videos made you feel that way.
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:27 PM

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“yes, i watch them too”

RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:27 PM

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:30 PM

fuck the big money men!which is why money MUST end in politics
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:30 PM

“it has always seemed to me that to vote independent is to throw your vote away.”

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:50 PM

maybe thats what they want you to think
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:50 PM

btw do you vote for the candidate or the party?
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:51 PM

you might like the guy/gal but not the party they stand for
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:51 PM

so basically states doing this are trying to avoid duplicate votes but the system set up in place only checks for the names it doesn't compare social security numbers so jo smith from one state could vote and in another state another jo smith tries
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:51 PM

to vote but the system flags them because they have the same name
LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:51 PM

they dont do it. they dont vote independant. so it has worked
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:51 PM

and minorities disproportionately have similar names
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:52 PM

that was like one thing I read about this voter purge, one way they are "checking" for duplicates, but if you aren't checking social security numbers what the hell why not?

LD

Lucy Dyer · 11:53 PM

what got me, was a piece that greg posted about a guy who was basically said all those who were multiple voters were criminals. but greg found this guys name on this checker loads of times. made me giggle
RM

Rachel McDonnell · 11:53 PM
