by Charley James
The McCain campaign’s latest attempt to portray the press as liberal puppets of Barack Obama — by painting the Los Angeles Times’s refusal to release a videotape of the senator at a farewell dinner in 2003 for Rashid Khalidi, the Palestinian scholar and advocate, as part of a vast left-wing conspiracy — is [...]

When Ronald Reagan’s former Chief of Staff Ken Duberstein says, (as he endorses Barack Obama for President), “even at McDonalds you are interviewed three times before being offered a job, you don’t hire a Vice President after one interview,” you know the Straight Talk Express bus has rolled over in a ditch.

Thanks to my friends Mike and Micheline who teach in Guangzhou for sending this me today.
What if…
things were switched around? Think about it: Would the country’s collective point of view be different? How much does racism influence our opinions? Ponder the following:

The New York Times reports: the tab for the presidential campaign approaches a shocking $2 billion. Clearly, the system must be fixed.

by Denis Campbell
Somewhere between 41 and 43 was a Presidency that left behind a budget surplus, grew jobs and left the economy busting and thriving. 70-days ago Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for President before 85,000 fans in Denver. On Day 69, (an interestingly appropriate number), former President Bill Clinton climbed off his high horse [...]

I’ve been angrily watching George Bush and Karl Rove lie with impunity. Living abroad for 10-years their FCC appointees systematically took decisions that eliminated media accountability, competition and created a war propaganda machine for the Administration using the public airwaves.

Had you placed an Obama to win bet in February you would have gotten much better odds than today. Now the long-shot bet is McCain since he has only a 3% chance of winning. The Sunday polls are crunched by über statistical wonk Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com’s. As of this moment he predicts [...]

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive E-Magazine began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign and was created to consolidate and replace two blogs created in 2006 called “Outside the Boundaries,” a political blog and “Fire the Guru!” an expose blog of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly called The Vadimus Post. That name came from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
When looking for pithy Latin URL names, I’d watched a moving episode of the same name (different tense, Quo Vadis) from Sports Night, an early series created by The West Wing’s Aaron Sorkin. It was the last episode and focused on the sale of the network to an unknown billionaire who asked the question every day of those who worked closest to him. He wanted to know the answer and… Do We Know Why? His rationale: we spend so much time on things urgent, we miss the important and do we ask ourselves (and others) why we are heading in a particular direction?
Well that is what we ask in these Op-Ed pieces, articles, live feeds, video segments and contributions from friends and affiliates. We are blessed to be able to dialogue with you and our aim is to provide independent, critical insight into the issues of the day. UK Progressive is published daily in Monknash, South Wales. Its founder, An American in Wales, is US journalist Denis Campbell who has been based in The Netherlands and the UK the last 11-years.

UK Progressive is a free, continuously improving news distribution service (because none of us could live with ourselves or face our mothers if every edition did not represent our very best effort). A lot of work goes daily into producing this true labour of love.
While most of us have other day jobs to eat, we’d love to get to the point where we can monetize this so it covers all of our expenses, allows us to pay our contributors for their fine work and helps us to continue to expand and grow. While not like PBS or other media groups shilling for logo umbrellas every ten minutes, we find it embarrassing to even have to ask… and we could use your help.
If you like what you see here and would like to help us bring it to you by making a donation to support future developments, well, we’d really appreciate it. Our PayPal account is named after a lovely canal side café in Lochem, The Netherlands which our office overlooked years ago.
We promise a team cheer and ‘happy dance’ in your name in advance. Thanks.
