When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

ELMER FUDD GOES HUNTING

ELMER J. FUDD GOES HUNTING


Bill Maher offered some free advice to the Republican party on Friday night to appeal to young people. Firstly, stop going on hunting trips to prove you’re a man of the people. And two, come out for legalizing weed so you can be a true dude of the people.

The genesis of the bit was Ted Cruz going out and hunting this week, which Maher thought was unnecessary because “you've already proved your total dominion over creatures with brains the size of walnuts. After all, you’re the leader of the tea party!”

Maher said young people don’t care about hunting, that “if they want to kill something, there’s an Xbox right downstairs.” The average voter is not an elderly, gun-toting middle American, it’s a “young Latino lesbian who smoked a boatload of dope.”

But Maher may have only been suggesting the GOP embrace this issue because of his frustration with Democrats who have been far too quiet on this issue. He said if the Democrats want to win young people in 2016, they’ll have to say “welcome back to stoner Hillary!”
