Am I the only one that is as MAD AS HELL at Cnn & Msnbc for not reporting on our Democracy?

We are trying to elect a President, where are they?

Prison shows and Jesus movies on our news.

1. Agreed! Totally frustrating

They must be all worn out from talking about the Republican soap opera all week....

[TDale313]

2. I am. I'm also seriously questioning why no results

From Hawaii are being released until most of the country is already asleep. We were supposed to have info hours ago. Unofficial stuff has been floating but not the official results unless I missed something. Seems very odd.

3. they didn't want to have to report the SWEEP

that's why

[TDale313]

5. That'd be my guess, yes. n/t

[LibDemAlways]

4. If Hillary won by blowout margins in today's

contests, they'd have managed to interrupt the holiday weekend filler to cover the results. Bernie's victories don't fit the narrative, and they sure as hell don't want to give voters in upcoming primary states the idea that Bernie has momentum. Thus, the blackout.

6. This is an outstanding article

(I think) but have limited internet
It would be good OP if somebody can post it.
All about the REAL numbers
Encouraging too

24. Great, great article! Wow!

Many thanks for putting it here! Have you made it an OP? I can't do it right now. Can you? It is a must read for all Democrats, all Sanders supporters, all Clinton supporters, all Independents and just about everybody else in the country.

7. No darling, you are not alone!!

There used to be a media activist group here at DU...
I wish it would reactivate!
Anyone interested?

[jillan]

8. YES and I know someone else that would be interested.

[7wo7rees]

10. Well okay then. Let's get it going.

[jillan]

12. What do we need to do?

[7wo7rees]

18. Check your mail. :)

9. CNN had a big Bernie win pic today. Didn't check msnbc.

It was Huff Post that literally skirted the issue.

CNN is till touting Bernies big picture on it's face. Glad to see them do it. It's been there for hours.

[jillan]

11. I mean on cable news stations on tv. It would have been nice to have some reporting tonite.

[Zira]

13. Oh. Okay, I almost never watch tv so didn't know.

Dang. Didn't know they were doing that. Should have expected as there is a media black out on Bernie the last few months.

[Lorien]

14. I'm pissed!! And I KEEP writing to the media about it!

I WILL work towards getting a boycott going against their bullshit if the persist. Please join me so we can make ourselves heard!

General media contact information, including emails, addresses, and phone numbers:
http://fair.org/take-action-now/media-activism-kit/media-contact-list/

Other than voting, donating to Bernie, and talking to people you know about Bernie's policy positions and history, THE SINGLE GREATEST THING you can do to help his campaign is to WRITE A HARD COPY LETTER to the media protesting their Bernie Blackout and wall to wall Trump coverage! Mention that you will be contacting and boycotting their advertisers if they continue the Bernie blackout and Trump "infomercials". I know people who work in newsrooms, and I am told that one hard copy letter has the weight of 100 emails to a news director. This is, they have added, a huge reason why the media skews to the Right; right wingers mail in letters frequently, the Left never does, so the perception is that only the right wing is dissatisfied with their "reporting". Let us change that notion TODAY!

Please borrow time from posting here and on Facebook TODAY to write letters to FIVE of the organizations listed below. When finished, post the text of your letter and who you contacted to this thread.

15. I was just "talking" about you - see post #7

We need to make this happen.

[7wo7rees]

21. There it is! DU used to have an activist thread with the

info you just provided. We can make a difference.

Thank you for posting, thank you for caring.

So DU, let's stand up one more time.

[desmiller]

16. Please proceed, M$M. Your media hell is just around the corner. Seeing you bern

there gives me the extreme satisfaction that adding Hillmoles in my naughty list never could.

[delrem]

17. Yah. 81.6 vs 18.4 in Alaska. 70.6 vs 29.2 in Washington State.

That's astounding news. Simply astounding.

It's the margin that Hillary Clinton was claiming 8 months ago.
100% reversed.

That's a turnaround that would wake up a zombie.

[Kittycat]

19. Irony of CNN

Their banner for Twitter

[TDale313]

20. Well there ya go...

MSNBC gave the Hawaii win a 30 second segment on the hour saying Bernie won but Hillary still holds a large lead among pledged and Superdelegates and... Back to prison.
