But you know he won't, because he's dug in on it and Sanders doesn't change his mind when he thinks he's right.

7. MSM owned by corporate DNC..
Mon Apr 4, 2016, 12:39 PM

What is the Democratic Party?

It is a ballot brand on fifty states. That is the only reason it has power.
It is one of two ballot brands that are key to DC power.
Third parties, grass root, independent runs for President don’t work because the other two brands dominate as the “legitimate” brands.

Once you understand that, you can see why Sanders is despised by the power brokers of the party and their puppets the MSM who see he will take over the brand.

Also he brings to the party uncontrollable voters who think independently from the party brand ideology. That is a huge threat to all office holders of the brand.

Don’t think of the party as an umbrella, a political ideology that is connected to your interests. It isn’t any of that. Those are the packagings used to sell the brand.

All those facets of party are destroyed by Sanders.

The corruption and crime of the party are exposed in their desperation to save themselves and “their” party.

It is nothing... A shell....
It is a criminal conspiracy that poisons our Representative government and rigs our elections.
It is no more than that... nationally and state by state.

She is afraid to get ambushed about her FBI Investigation. And the more she opens her mouth the more her polling drops and the more her unfavorables rise.

First she owns the networks, then she's "afraid to get ambushed."

Coordinate next time before you embark on a bash-a-thon. You're really 'doing your candidate proud' with this shit.

Screentime is what the media covers in the normal day to day coverage (which is mostly Trump)... And when they do talk about Sanders it is always as if he is some joke, or if he is winning how we knew he would win all along (though remember we were told he would not win anywhere when he first entered)

You just went and found one media statistic that implied Sanders got more media and now spam it everywhere.

And no one's FACE has filled the screen more than Bernie's.


Even The Donald falls behind him, because he does so many interviews by phone.

You've got a tone problem. In a big way. If you don't want to be mistaken for someone playing for the other side, you might want to modulate your invective.

Mon Apr 4, 2016, 01:54 PM

and the reply is "YOU SUCK." Criticize the Favorite Candidate, and be called a liar! It's not "tone shaming" when your tone is rude and obstreperous.

All the "anger and threats" are coming from Team Birdie.

Your post is a perfect example, too.

You think everyone is evil and "mean to Berrrrrrnie." It's just a tiresome theme, because it's not accurate:


In the case of Sanders and his backers, the substance of their critique is based on a number of misperceptions, chief among them that journalists are out to get the Vermont senator because they want Hillary Clinton to be president and maintain a corporatist status quo. This is a fundamental misreading of the news media for a number of reasons. First, the rise of Sanders has been good for campaign journalists, who prefer close political races and have even been prone to hyping such races where they do not exist because excitement is good copy and good business. Second, the political press has no particular love for Clinton—you can see this in the negative coverage of her campaign for large swaths of 2015 (which may have even contributed to Sanders’ rise), not to mention the general schadenfreude floating in the wake of her failure during the 2008 election. Finally, this worldview imputes motives to the media that just aren’t there. Yes, individual journalists tilt toward specific candidates and ideologies just like everyone else, but the overriding biases are toward either a good story or not sounding dumb.

Why are people whining about the coverage? Are they supposed to favor one candidate over another to satisfy the desires of a particular 'fan base'? Makes no sense.

GDP is dominated by Bernie supporters talking about Hillary.

Why should the media be any different?
