Everybody talks about Susan Collins clutching her pearls when we should have been asking who paid for those pearls in the first place.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

When 3M scientist Kris Hansen discovered that a chemical the company produced was in the blood of the general public, her bosses questioned her work. Yet all along, some people inside the company had known the same thing. Listen to this excerpt:

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

Is this a joke? Susan Collins is literally married to a lobbyist (now "consultant") who worked for the lobbyist running her super PAC. Hard to be more sleazy than shady Susan. #mesen #mepolitics www.semafor.com/article/08/1...

Whole race in a nut shell: Susan Collins is a product of the ownership class and a member of the ownership class focused on advancing ownership class interests and Troy Jackson is a product of the working class and a member of the working class eager to advance working class interests. #MEpolitics
