2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm sorry, but other candidates are in the news nonstop. Bernie has 28,000 at an event, and....
...it's not aired by any of the major news outlets???
I don't have cable, but I'm told that he's being ignored altogether.
Is anybody with cable seeing it aired live, or even bits of it on CNN or MSNBC???

(19,326 posts)saying his crowd t/here was "19,000" not the actual number of 28,000, then
they cut to endlessly repeating the faux-BLM shout-down-Sanders stunt in
Seattle, that happened the DAY BEFORE and the insinuation was thick, that
"Bernie still has a 'race problem'" .. and no mention of Symone Sanders,
brilliant Black activists', rousing introductory speech, just before Bernie cane
on the Portland stage.
So yes, it got "coverage" if you can call it that.

(5,141 posts)No Sanders coverage and look how many people are showing up at his rallys! So really at the end of the day, he doesn't need it..FB and Twitter are doing a fine job at spreading the word.
The world is changing...

All the more reason that we have to keep on turning out record crowds for Bernie wherever he goes.
We need to continue to use social media to get the word out as it is more believable than the cable news shows anyway.
Fooled again!
But seriously, look how social media worked for the Obama campaign...and I'm seeing an awful lot of young people at these rallys so I hope that means there is hope for the future of this country.

(5,217 posts)coverage, only mentioning Bernie on the BLM matter as they ran a short video of two black women screaming in his face on stage.
That's the "liberal" Rachael Maddow show and Lawrence O'Donnell. What a bunch of Washington insider assholes.

Corporate Dems also do not feel it necessary to hold debates until mid October, some people think there is only one Dem running for office and the media is still covering the Repub debate.

(46,436 posts)except much talk of Trump and a tiny bit about Hillary's reaction to him. At least I think it was CBS. I'm wondering why MSNBC is spending so much time on The Donald.
