[energy_model]

How often do network news mention Hillary's emails? How often do they mention policy issues? Two graphics illustrates the answer:

1. Well, seems Sanders needs a manufactured scandal -then he will get the coverage that

his fans are demanding.

5. He doesn't need one.

Just wants Clinton to be ready to debate at the drop of the hat.

2. I'm for Sanders, yet I totally agree that the emails are a M$M-manufactured "scandal"

used to avoid talking about real issues voters actually care about, and to drip, drip, drip,
BRAND the Democratic Party as 'the party of scandals'. It's total bullshit and I don't like
it any more than I imagine Clinton supporters like it.

Also, the other non-issue used this way -- to avoid mentioning real issues, like climate
change, income inequality, racist mass incarceration, the epidemic of cops murdering black people
(and other citizens) pretty much at-will, with no accountability, etc. etc. -- is Joe Biden:
"is he or is he not running for President?" ad nauseam.

I'm hoping the debates will be about real issues, but have my doubts based on how it
has been so steadfastly refusing to do so thus far.

3. I think how they came by the email story was manufatured, but

now that we know about how unsecure her private server was, it's no longer a political issue, but a real problem.

That said, I do wish they'd start talking about the issues and how many times Hillary has evolved on things that are important to the average voter.

4. If they just talked honestly about the issues

There'd be no stopping Sanders from being elected President.

6. I think it is too early to start counting your chickies.

7. Well, at least now they can mention SLN

She hasn't really been doing anything of note. The MSN doesn't seem to follow anyone running for the Democratic Party nom.

8. not except for giving speeches on guns

civil rights, and drug prices but other than that she has done nothing in the last week other than SNL.
