MSNBC.com's entire home page does not include Bernie's name or photo. Carson? Yep. Christie? twice.

Last edited Wed Mar 2, 2016, 09:55 AM - Edit history (1)

Rubio. Cruz. Hillary, of course, several times. The talking yam, over and over.

No mention of Bernie. No photo of Bernie.

The man won Minnesota by 24 points.

We all know they are in the tank but this is the most blatant illustration I've seen.

Update: mahalo DUer Intheflow for pointing out that Bernie's name and pic are now on MSNBC's front page. Though three hours late, I'll take it. Woohoo!

I counted the times the word 'Trumo' and picture of his yammy face appear above Bernie's.
12 times. They write or show 'Trump' 12 times before they say Bernie's name once.

The largest block of American voters is the non-affiliated, currently numbering at 40%

So why do the Two Major Dino Parties get to choose who gets to run in the Autumn of 2016?

Talk about a corrupt and crooked situation, but it certainly is exactly what the One Percent desire

And since they are more well known than the Pew Survey People, I will include their stats when I mention the Pew Research people's.

The network is a mere parody of its former self. Unfortunately, Comcast didn't buy them to reap profits, but rather to put controlled messages out there. Boycotting them will not hurt them, but might be good for the typical progressive's mental health.

A Comcast executive recently held a fundraiser for Hillary.

Fox has been somewhat fair to Bernie, CNN as well. Certainly more than they were towards Barack in 2008. MSNBC has by far been the least fair, with the exception of Morning Joe from time to time.

MSNBC's home page says it was "not quite a blowout." Let's see...on Tuesday IN THE FOUR BLUE STATES that voted last night, BERNIE WON THREE AND TIED ONE. So in the states which historically vote for democrats in the presidential election, it WAS a blowout!!!!

"Clinton racks up delegates on Super Tuesday" by Alex Seitz-Wald

While it was not quite a blowout, Hillary Clinton likely won enough delegates to limit Bernie Sanders’ path to the presidential nomination.

I mean, nobody likes Christie. So maybe by having him "me too!" Brownnose the bastard, harumph authoritatively into his neck rolls about "Donald will listen to me", and Photobomb every trump statement or appearance, they can make a dent in his support.

But of course it is not.
I've loved Rachel M, and by extension MSNBC for years because she was well informed/researched/charming. I discounted reports of her bias (hey we all have favorites), but it's coming clear now, as I'm sure it was for Ravhel when Comcast took over ownership of MSNBC

BTW Comcast CEO Yuuuge Hillary investor

Up a large portion of their income in order to help out a candidate. (And in actuality, what seems like a large portion of income to us, say when Bill Maher gives up one million for Obama, to that person it is not that significant.)

Usually the money comes back to them in some favor or other that allows them to recoup more than the amount they put into the campaign coffers.

All of the hosts of those programs are afraid they will be replaced any minute now.

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/03/02/468876594/chinese-newspaper-editor-fired-over-hidden-headline-message

NPR's Anthony Kuhn in Beijing reports that an editor at the major tabloid has been fired for allegedly sneaking in the subversive message, and walks us through what it says:

The top headline can be literally translated: "Party and government-run media are propaganda battlefronts, and must be surnamed 'Party.' In other words, they must be part of the same family," Anthony says.

(This was a day after Xi toured three main state media outlets with a clear message, as Anthony reported: "China's media must unflinchingly promote the party line and serve as a faithful tool of ideological struggle.&quot

The bottom headline reads: "His soul belongs to the sea." It's next to a photo of the sea burial of reformist figure Yuan Geng, the South China Morning Post reports.

If you read the last two characters of both vertically, Anthony says, "the implication is that the party is sentencing media to death by demanding political obedience from them." He adds that that the paper's management "criticized itself for misleading its readers" in
