The media needs to be completely rebuilt. Break them up, they need to be split up as much as the banks. It's completely unwatchable. They're seriously trying to elect a psycho.

And out of Bernie's whole exposition, the words "deny the reality" better sums up the whole damn republican shit pie in my view.

I just wish he'd said, when Chuckie raised The Trust Issue-- "You mean the voters should trust a guy more who has cheated subcontractors, outsourced his manufacturing, owes $600 million to China, and has hired undocumented workers?"

He could have confronted Todd by asking him why HE isn't focusing on the issues-- why does he continually harp on nonessential topics?

Bernie, however, was polite and redirected. He could redirect until the cows come home, and Todd would continue to try and sniff out a looming scandal between the lines. That's all he's good for.

"Why do you focus on personalities and drama, verses the real topics of the issues of the people?"
... and many more such questions need to the response to the press focus on drama.

You are right Bernie, the email's are only an issue because the press makes it so.
