To launch The Happy Hippie Foundation, Miley created a new Backyard Sessions series and invited special musical guests to perform with her to make these music video collaborations.
Founded by Miley Cyrus, The Happy Hippie Foundation is a nonprofit organization that rallies young people to fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBT youth, and other vulnerable populations....Good for Miley.

Good on Ariana Grande for joining in.

Miley and Ariana both achieved celebrity at a young age. Now they are using it for positive influence. (The are still under 25.)

Ive always thought Ritholz was a good guy.
I remember after the 07 08 crash he did an extensive series debunking the notion that the CRA was the reason for the mortgage crisis. Fox was really pushing the meme that govt forced loans to poor people caused the crash. The Feds data itself didn't support the meme and many Fed officials denied a link but it didn't stop the right wing noise machine from blaming poor black people for the crisis. Ritholz took it apart piece by piece and showed it to be pure bunk...... and of course changed none of the conversation in the RWNM
Yes Greg ... the Fox story was the people who ended up with nothing were the criminals and the people who ended up with billions were the victims. Their viewers believed it because they wanted to believe it.
