NPR's On The Media dissects the alt right and Steve Bannon
And there's a truly jaw-dropping interview with white separatist Jared Taylor.
This week's episode: Unreal

Definitely not normalizing this Trumping of America.
Very interesting take on the effect of fake news on the election.
All in all, a very interesting podcast ~

Any DirecTV subscribers? check out channel 347 - ElectionHQ
For the news junkie in all of us...
DirecTV splits the screen on ch 347 broadcasting four news channels at once along with a column on the left side of the screen running live data updated by Associated Press.
Just found it. I'm psyched. All that and DU opened on the iPad...I'm getting light-headed with anticipation. God, I love Election Day!
A special Mix channel pulls the news together, so you have a full view of whats going on. And you can get additional information as you watch through an interactive experience featuring live election results for the presidential race as well as Senate and House contests and key ballot initiatives.

37 filmmakers on why they're voting for Hillary Clinton
Some excepts:
Quentin Tarantino
The Hateful Eight writer-director told the AP: When you sit there and listen to Hillary Clinton on something like Charlie Rose and hear her talking in depth about the issues to such a degree its like, whoah, thats who I want for my president.
Tom Hanks
The actor-producer recently told the BBC he thinks Clinton is wildly, wildly qualified to be the President of the United States.

Dax Shepard
I have a strong mother, and an even stronger wife, Shepard wrote in an email to IndieWire. Im enamored with competent, industrious women, and think the planet in general could benefit from more female input. I think Hillary is, perhaps, the most qualified person ever to run for office, and the fact that she is female is icing on the cake.
Clay Liford
Outside of the fact that we have a pet hedgehog named Quillary Clinton, Im with her because she actually has experience in politics, the Slash director and Gayby director of photography wrote to IndieWire in an email. As an artist who works with a diverse set of collaborators, Id be a hypocrite if I voted for a man who actively stands against everything my friends and I stand for. Equality, LGBT rights, you name it. Trump represents a monumental tide-shift when it comes to giving a vetted platform to bigoted voices. We cant allow this. We really cant. Its Pandoras Box, if Pandora was a racist homophobe who liked to grope women.
