Democracy Now: Media Moves to Silence Bernie Sanders Campaign

[tomm2thumbs]

As Sanders began his address on Tuesday night, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all declined to cut away, instead offering pundits’ commentary and graphics promising they would soon go to Donald Trump’s address. We hear from both candidates and host a debate between former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner, a Sanders surrogate, and Geneva Reed-Veal, the mother of Sandra Bland, whose death last year in a Texas jail cell following a traffic stop sparked national protests.

Nina Turner discusses Sanders rise from 30 points behind in Ohio and how Bernie does not say one thing in front of one audience and another thing in front of another audience - his heart/soul agreement she calls it.

Also noted in the clip: The majority of delegates have not been chosen. The majority of states have not voted.

1. One of the most ridiculous and bizarre campaign smears I have seen this time around -

trying to say that this:

how Bernie does not say one thing in front of one audience and another thing in front of another audience

Is somehow not preferable to Hillary saying whatever she feels or is told she has to say, changing stances seemingly on a whim (or merely parroting Bernie), pandering for votes. Why would anyone believe her?

And it is especially disingenuous to cast Bernie having had the same stance on, say, gay marriage, for what looks like his entire life, as somehow less noble and sincere than Hillary's staunch stand AGAINST gay marriage suddenly experiencing a convenient sea change.
