and we are seeing those now in the US. Starting in 2000 to be exact,

This is not a conspiracy, but someday a historian or two will write about this period, and your decendants and mine will ask very similar questions to what other people ask about the rise of totalitarian states.

I just vote to remain in practice, becuase we are in a pretend democracy.

but . . . every little twist and turn is not a conspiracy.

Some of these posts right now are downright embarrassing - "CNN is deliberately withholding results so as to announce the Louisiana victory diminishing the Ne and KS results."

good grief

Sat Mar 5, 2016, 10:38 PM

and you are mistakes if you do not understand the role of the media in totalitarian states. We crossed that threshold oh truly in 2000, but I would say started in the 1990s. We will rue the day, or should be already, that the telecommunications act of 1996 was passed and signed. (See the rise of Trump. He farts, BREAKING NEWS)

And no, it is not a conspiracy. I will grant you that. It is editorial choice. And this is the kind of editorial choices that lead to propaganda and the manufacturing of consent. As I said, I vote to remain in practice, It really, really does not count.

the polls close and they didn't want too many people hearing about Bernie's victories until they had voted in that state and they can instantly use that to offset Bernie's wins.

Just more mass psychology games from CNN in manipulating the public.

They showed exit polls showing Sanders winning in Mass and
they won't do that again... especially since Billy was there messing
with the election process.

I was listening to NPR and heard all about Cruz winning kansas or something, and then the report wrapped up with something like there were elections in 3 other states as well. They didn't mention the states, nothing. Then I logged in here expecting to see results - and nothing. I started to question whether I remembered that wrong, that maybe there were no democratic votes today ... such weird reporting!

where Hillary should win in which case they can instantly use that to offset Bernie's momentum before it grows too fast.

As I posted they have been telecasting Republican results for over an hour and they started with less than 1% of the vote counted.

CNN is trying to establish a frame on today's results before it gets out of hand.

Especially when you're afraid to go up agains this desperate network of corporatists, PERCEPTION is everything.

I was just trying to play devil's advocate, but the oligarchy is really fucking set to shape it any way they can.

Anybody that is endorsing Clinton is shaking in their boots right now - not for fear of Bernie Sanders, but because they know the electorate is so angry that they aren't going to vote for anything that smells establishment.

It has to make the people that spent millions trying to prop up failing politicians turn around and look at what horrible investments they made.

You don't get $459,000 in donations and fail to work the wheel. You get that cash, and try the best you can to make out like a bandit with it by putting in the least amount of work you possibly can in your "investment".

Thus the same shit happens over and over again.
