What's Up With USAA ????

Saw this last week:

Financial services firm USAA, facing a backlash to its decision to pull advertising from Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News Channel, says it is withdrawing from other opinion-based television programs.

The company, which sells insurance and other products to members of the U.S. military, veterans and their families, had cited its aversion to opinionated programming in backing away from Hannity. The veteran talk show host has become a liberal target because of his focus on a discredited story about a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer.

Yet the conservative watchdog Media Research Center noted that USAA ads had run in recent weeks on left-leaning shows hosted by Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Chris Matthews on MSNBC.

You can read the rest @

I have been a "member" of USAA for over 40 years. During that time, I have watched them slide from being an "association" which looked after the needs of its members to being just another "financial services firm".

I sincerely doubt that Maddow, O'Donnell, and Matthews present views that represent more than a small minority of the millions of current and former military service members who are USAA "members". Support for such "left-leaning shows" demonstrates just how far USAA has strayed from their customer base.

I guess Wall Street and the bankgangsters will do that to you.

By the way, the murder of Seth Rich is NOT a "discredited story". It's another cover-up of a possible DNC/Clinton motivated murder which the powers that be are trying mightily to sweep and keep under the rug.

Never trust the rich (e.g., Jeff Bezos), their "newspapers" (a.k.a. propaganda rags), or their political parties.
