I haven't had time to watch them yet, but this is a look inside the 2016 elections, for anyone interested. http://billmoyers.com/2015/02/20/clips-2016-elections/
"We’re just getting into 2015 and already we’re hearing about super PACs raising millions of dollars for presidential candidates before any of them have even announced plans to run.
Let’s face it, it’s gotten pretty nutty out there in the campaign finance world in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which ushered in more money (and more problems) than we’ve ever seen in our political process.
After the most expensive midterm elections ever — and the announcement by the Koch Brothers that they plan to spend nearly $900 million in 2016 (more than twice what their network spent in 2012) — the problem of big money drowning out the rest of us is likely to get worse in 2016.
And that’s just the money we know about. Last month, National Journal predicted: The 2016 campaign season is expected to be "more dominated by secret money than any election since Watergate."
So what does an informed citizen need to know? We’ve pulled some “must-watch” clips from Bill’s recent interviews with journalists, experts and activists to offer a fuller picture of the maddening direction our democracy has taken. "
