Muckraker followed the entire mass migration route from Quito, Ecuador to the United States border. To our knowledge, no one has ever produced an entire documentary following this entire route.

Our First Look At Jim Jordan’s Bogus Subcommittee Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the members of Rep. Jim Jordan’s already notorious subcommittee that is running interference for coup plotters, Trump, and his own members under federal investigation by targeting the Justice Department, FBI, and other “Deep State” players: A few notes: Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), whose phone was seized by the FBI as part of its Jan. 6 investigation and who has insisted he’s not too compromised to serve on the subcommittee, didn’t make the cut. Democrats haven’t named their members of the subcommittee yet. Politico reports that McCarthy plans to...

NEW YORK (AP) - Joe McGinniss, the adventurous and news-making author and reporter who skewered the marketing of Richard Nixon in “The Selling of the President 1968” and tracked his personal journey from sympathizer to scourge of convicted killer Jeffrey MacDonald in the blockbuster “Fatal Vision,” died Monday at age 71.

The author of "Fatal Vision" and "The Selling of the President" was outbid recently when he offered to pay $59,999 to dine with the former GOP vice presidential candidate at a charity auction. But that hasn't deterred him. He recently spent three weeks in Palin's town in Wasilla, Alaska.

Quotes from the letter in recent news reports make it seem that the man who exposed the horrors of the meat-packing industry in the 1906 book "The Jungle" covered up a confession from a defense lawyer that...

Democrats' fundraising ruse undercuts election reforms Tue Feb 10, 7:27 AM ET For decades, Democrats championing campaign finance reforms blamed Republicans for blocking efforts to curb the influence wealthy donors have on politics. And Republicans readily conceded they opposed limits that might curtail their advantage in raising money from deep-pocketed allies. Now, two years after passage of the biggest reform of campaign financing in a generation, the parties have reversed roles: Democrats are spearheading efforts to bypass a ban on huge donations. Republicans are crying foul - though they're preparing to use the same fundraising ploy if the Federal Election...

"George W. Bush is a deserter..." – Film director Michael Moore at a Jan. 17 rally for presidential candidate Wesley Clark. "I would call it AWOL." – Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe in a Jan. 25 interview with CNN. "The issue here as I have heard it raised is, was he present and active on duty in Alabama at the times he was supposed to be?" – Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, during a Feb. 8 news conference in Virginia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are many issues on which President Bush's supporters and detractors can have an honest, but respectful, disagreement...
