Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumTweety aka Chris Matthews.
Last night I had on Msnbc after the debate, when Hardball came on.
He went there. Both him and Jonathan Capeheart were talking about that picture of Bernie that's "not Bernie."
Tad Devine was also on. Tweety ripped into Tad insinuating that Bernie's campaign is not honest, and how could they have misleading info about Bernie on their website. Tad kept saying Bernie was at that sit in, Tweety was in full attack mode.
I could not believe that this tinfoil hat theory had made it into the msm as a news story.
It's time to reign Tweety in. The man is obviously not worthy of being on a major 'news' network. He's becoming more of a Glenn Beck type figure with his outbursts and bizarro theories.
How do we send a message to msnbc?
What are your thoughts on this?
ETA - here is msnbc's email to send corrections. A correction is needed. Today!

And here is the link to show that was in fact a pic of Bernie-

Anybody else?

It's time for Tweety to go. He's lost his credibility - and his mind. His tiny little mind.

(7,499 posts)There is an online petition to have him give Bernie equal time or have him removed from covering the primary. It's up to about 9,500 signatures.
Hope this link works:

(1,192 posts)Because for all I can see, the host is ranting and raving about socialism day in and day out, and now, openly spreading lies without fact-checking.
Is this FOX or MSNBC? Can anybody explain the difference here?

(10,237 posts)TWEETY is 30 seconds of their schtick .The way TV was set up 70 years ago was ripped apart 40 years ago .MSNBC ,FOX and CNN are their own advertisers esentually so we can't boycott sponsors effectively anymore because the media has become too big to fail as it morphed into the partial owner of what were sponsors .We have to come up with new solutions in this world of unrestricted capitalism that is eating it's self alive .
If and when these cable news stations fail they will probably just be renamed .The talking heads are just over paid lacky celebrities unable to be objective if they plan on keeping their jobs .We want the truth so much that all we can do is turn off the lies .
