Everything is not a conspiracy.

[boston bean]

The media does not support Hillary, they have hounded her and actually printed fake stories about her in major news papers.

She won the debate last night.

The media aint coddling her or forcing her on you. They hate her guts.

[JRLeft]

1. No she lost.

[hrmjustin]

2. Stop using logic!

It's not nice.

[uponit7771]

3. Bern Victims are sensitive these days, everyone is paid off and against Sanders :rolleyes:

[GoneFishin]

4. The media does not want a clear decisive front-runner. They make many more $millions when the

competition is tight, forcing candidates to dump ca$h into ads. And they will do whatever it takes to keep those ad dollars rolling in. So in a sense, yes there is a conspiracy.

[Cosmic Kitten]

6. Dirty laundry sells advertising

The media LOVES the Clinton Dynasty.

Few public figures can attract as
many eyeballs as the Clintons.

Eyeballs equal advertising dollars.
Advertising dollars equal profits
They LOVE Hillary, don't deny it.

[hrmjustin]

17. Keep telling yourself that.

[pinebox]

7. It's rather funny

considering it's only pundits and MSM saying she won yet the American people are saying Sanders did.

12. this telegraphs interestingly what will happen

on election days. bernie will be winning states, and the msm heads are going to have rovian meltdowns

[frylock]

20. Yep. Thousand-yard stares and mouths agape.

[restorefreedom]

25. wonder if rove will meltdown again

that was good tv.

[Bonobo]

8. Let me fix that for you.

Proper title: "Not Everything is a Conspiracy".

Words are my job. Bad writing is a pet peeve, especially that particular grammatical error.

9. The media ABSOLUTELY supports Hillary over Bernie.

This is a relative scenario, and relatively Hillary would be MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better for the status quo (including the corrupt media consolidation that has taken place) than Bernie. The media punditry response to the debates was entirely predictable from the outset. They are never going to prop up Bernie against Hillary. They'll diminish, criticize, and marginalize him whenever possible.

Bernie is the one that is a threat to the status quo. Bernie flat-out called the corporate media corrupt last night.

Of course, I do believe the corporate media will strongly favor the Republican candidate over Hillary (or Bernie) should she (he) be the nominee.

[stevenleser]

24. Bernie is not a threat to the status quo. The Republican House will pass nothing remotely

progressive or transformative.

[NCTraveler]

10. They passionatley hate her.

What I dislike most about the dishonest claims that they want her is that it perpetuates the Limbaugh thought of the left wing media. They are on the side of democrats. Most all of us know how dishonest that truly is. They have flat out made up stories about her while not vetting Sanders in any way and some are dim enough to think she is getting support from them. Really says a lot with respect to their depth.

[Fumesucker]

21. They may hate Clinton but they fear Bernie

A Bernie win stands to throttle back the campaign cash Niagara to the media, there's no way they will risk that.

[NCTraveler]

22. People in the media aren't scared of Sanders.

I know people like to push their chest out and say people are scared. Fact is they would greatly profit of a President Sanders as well as Clinton. They would love the political war Sanders would start if he had power. It would be great for their business. This whole "fear" thing is just laughable. Please show me where a media outlet has done any serious vetting of Sanders. I will show you where they have KNOWINGLY lied about Clinton. Who are they in fear of? Sanders who is being treated with kid gloves or Clinton who they are knowingly lying about in an attempt to bring her down. Fear. Sound good doesn't it. lol.

[Fumesucker]

26. We shall see...

The media is losing its erstwhile iron grip on public perceptions and they know it. Sanders represents something the media didn't see coming, the public going around the media for information, and they are frantic to head it off at the pass.

[ibegurpard]

11. No and doing well does not translate into spectacular

Or "crushing it". Hillary had a number of facepalm moments...paricularly telling Wall Street to "cut it out"....the biggest laugh line of the night where I was watching. If I were you I'd cut the hyperbole and just accept your candidate did well...unless you want to start seeing everyone highlighting her not-so-good moments.

[Fawke Em]

13. It's not a conspiracy.

Corporate-owned media back the corporate-owned Hillary. That's where their bread is buttered. You don't have to be a "conspiracy theorist" to see that.

Every focus group said Bernie Sanders did.
Online polls - both rigged and not - said he won.
Social media says he won.
In other words, the average person thinks he won.

And, the corporate media only pretend to hate her guts.

If she's good enough for Goldman Sachs, she's good enough for the M$M.

“If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine,” one top Republican-leaning Wall Street lawyer said over lunch in midtown Manhattan last week. “We could live with either one. Jeb versus Joe Biden would also be fine. It’s Rand Paul or Ted Cruz versus someone like Elizabeth Warren that would be everybody’s worst nightmare.”

14. Her surrogates were all over MSM last night, can you explain that?

And to say that the media hates her guts is just a big fat lie. The media is corporate driven and Hillary is the chosen establishment candidate; they want her to win.

[rhett o rick]

15. You say everything isn't a conspiracy and then proceed to tell us the media is conspiring

against her.

Interesting that some media mega-corps are top sponsors of her campaign and not Sen Sanders.

[yodermon]

16. Wouldn't the "media printing fake stories about her" qualify as ... a conspiracy? n/t

[workinclasszero]

18. IKR OP?... everybody knows the MSM is on Hillary's side :EYES: OMG LOLZ

I mean jeez get a clue Bernie fans! You are going to look real silly claiming that seeing as how the media has tried to destroy Hillary for YEARS!!!

[frylock]

19. So now the media is trustworthy?

Yes, the MSM overwhelmingly agrees that Hillary was the winner. People IRL? Not so much.

[stevenleser]

23. The few foreign press reports I have seen bolster your point.
