Phil Donahue has been making radio and podcast appearances and recently he appeared on the Ralph nadir podcast to give his opinions on current events. Phil Donahue recalled how basically MSNBC pulled the plug on his return following the start of the Gulf war against Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the cable network treated the legendary TV talk show host has dirt quickly dismissing his program due to Donahue's vocal opposition to the illegal war. The two legends talked about corporate mainstream media and how they basically promoted the policies of George W Bush and his war for corporate profit. Donahue was one of the few people wondering what Iraq had to do with 9/11 and why the US military felt the need to desecrate the country and loot it for all the little wealth that remained.
Ralph Nadar and Phil Donahue kick ass and their reluctance to carry the corporate lie and standing up against the global geo-political policies of making and breaking nations is what makes them great. The two men talked about MNBCs move to the right and how anything backed by corporate advertising could never really be labeled as progressive as MSNBC had been for so long up to a few months ago when they decided to ax many of their leftist on-air personal. Donahue was a breakthrough in television and help put this country on the path of progressivism by highlighting the social problems of society and how a few were causing it at the time. Few of the younger generation do not know that without these two individuals fighting in the sixties and seventies for social and business change things today would be so much different and for the worse. 
The two also discussed Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump realizing the importance of candidates not really party of the two-party political monpoloy in America and the threat candidacies such as them pose for the establishment.
