Related: About this forumThe Clinton noise machine at Colorado fundraiser.
Here's an email I just got from the Sanders campaign. I think you'll find it interesting. No surprises, but interesting.
"Patrick -
Last night Hillary Clinton hosted an outdoor fundraiser in Colorado (a state that already caucused) where "Event Chairs" could bundle $27,000 and "Champions" contributed $2,700.
But a crazy thing happened when she got ready to speak. Her campaign actually "turned on a static noise machine" pointed at the press so they couldnt hear what she was saying to the financial elite in attendance.
Look, this campaign is funded by emails like this one. So this is technically a Bernie Sanders fundraiser. No noise machine here well say it directly to you and any members of the press who are on this email list: If Bernie Sanders is elected, he is going to take on a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign finance system. Hes going to fight for universal health care, keep fossil fuels in the ground, ensure no bank is too big to fail and no banker too powerful to jail.
But this is the most important three weeks of the campaign there are a lot of big primaries right around the corner. And Bernie will only get that chance if we all stand together."
So there it is - I guess the corporate-owned press can't even be privy to what Clinton says to the elites, and certainly we peons seem beneath consideration.

(1,163 posts)Did you catch Hillary trying to figure out a turnstile?
Sad, isn't it?
She's just been out of touch for far too long.
And this, and in New York City of all places.
