Because we are at the point where we need to care for each other and that explains Bernie's rise.

she was roping them off and refusing to answer any questions.

They were practically orgasmic when she'd show up to her staged sit downs with "regular Americans"....that all happened to be operatives for her campaign

Running against Bernie. And whether she is a corporate protector is a central issue in this race.

She can ask him to release any transcripts of speeches he gave for personal profit, that's completely reasonable.

She may know that's not an issue for Bernie, though, eh? Is that why she has to throw in the red herring of all the others?

it was a business trip when he was mayor of burlington that happened to be right after he got married, so he joked about it being his honeymoon. he actually took a honeymoon trip sometime later.

but you probably already knew all that

..but the MSM has never liked Hillary and never will.

If they had more recently seemed less aggressive toward her it was because she seemed to inevitably be the Dem nominee and they were putting her on the back burner so to speak while they focused on who her Republican opponent would be.

their 5 Second shots of All the Candidates . Don't be fooled, by what one poster here called " Perception Management " her and MSM have the same boss, and it ain't us . Andrea Mitchell castigates Bernie on guns while she treats Hillary with care when asking about the E-Mails . All so Hillary can enjoy the status of Victim who just keeps getting promoted, all part of the program .

I'm curious why anyone here at DU would claim otherwise. I don't like them, but, committing my primary vote to Sanders hasn't turned me into a liar making absurd claims that 'corporate media is protecting Hillary' and other such nonsense. Just as I don't appreciate the lies being tossed about Sanders. DU has been knee-deep in BS for almost a solid year, day in and day out.

We used to be better than this when we disagreed. Most of us were tough….damn tough….but, most of us balanced that toughness with fairness.

I'm even someone who is close to not even voting for her in the GE if she is the nominee. And even I would never claim that either Bill or Hillary have been treated lightly by the media.
