Even the teevee talkers who many on our side used to trust are doing this. MSNBC is the worst. Fomenting controversy and division. Prefacing with YammieShit as it it were serious, and then asking how the Dems can recover from that.
Et
Cetera.
And it isn't just MSNBC. I hear on local radio stations, local news radio. Other cablenooz.
Last night we switched from MSNBC to CSpan and the contrast was jarring. On "liberal" ( ) MSNBC, all talk was about BernieBrosBooingBadly. They had their pics set up such that the booing seemed louder than the speaker. On CSpan it was starkly different. The speakers were clear and the booing was only faint and even faint, only occasionally.
These fuckers are really hurting democracy.

I get to hear all of the speeches without the spin.

(2,217 posts)The Dem conventions during the Vietnam era were very contentious, and you would think they would never
patch up the differences! But with time, they all came together when faced by the Goldwaters, Nixons, etc.

(63,208 posts)usually while they're telling us how Trump "resonates" with voters.
No matter what bullshit Trump spews, no matter how many times he's caught lying, no matter how many racist, misogynist insults he hurls, NPR reminds us that he "resonates" with voters, but Clinton is "untrustworthy" because...
Why, exactly?
