MSNBC calling Bernie "not a real Democrat"

[SHRED]

Well maybe he should take them up on it and run as an Independent.

I don't really believe he should but why are they doing this?

[onecaliberal]

1. Fuck those corporate whores

[SHRED]

3. Good point

They might be doing this because they could care less who wins.

[onecaliberal]

15. They want Hillary or trump either way their $ and power are safe.

They can dismiss us at their own peril.

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Frank Luntz is their number one

go to Political advisor.

[SirBrockington]

2. He'd run independent to Spite MSNBC?

[SHRED]

5. No

I'm not saying that.
I just question why they harp on this.

To be honest I'm getting text messages from a friend who watches that channel telling me this. I don't watch them much at all.

4. Comcast sponsoring the Democratic Convention

Just felt like a good place to bring that tidbit back up.

[arcane1]

7. "Comcast employee on Comcast network promotes Comcast's opinion on candidate"

No surprise there!

[Phlem]

6. All the media is corporate. They've played a Yuge part in getting

The corporate friendly option elected.

[SHRED]

10. Yes they have

[scottie55]

29. Bingo

[Else You Are Mad]

8. But the next segment probably

will then yell about how Sanders isn't endorsing Hillary for Democratic unity because that is his responsibility as a Democrat.

[SHRED]

9. True

[deepestblue]

11. MSNBC hosts

The opinions of some of their hosts IRL likely differ greatly from what they are commanded to utter on air. I.e. Ed Schultz is full-on Bernie on RT America, but if were still with his old network he would not be allowed to espouse such opinions.

12. If by 'real democrat' they mean the wholly-owned subsidiary of the rich

that the modern party has devolved into, I agree.

[scottie55]

30. Bernie = Not Corrupt = Not Real Democrat

You could figure this one out with half a brain.....

[Ino]

13. I've been a Democrat longer than Hillary has...

but I guess I'm not a "real Democrat" any more. So be it.

[Old Codger]

17. If being a dem

Means I am like hillbully and dws and bill etc. then I know I am not one

[yourpaljoey]

14. He is going to run Indy

[jillan]

18. I don't think he will do it because he said he wouldn't.

Just like those "damn emails" Bernie doesn't go back on his word, even when he should.

[yourpaljoey]

19. That is sophist nonsense!

My contact with his campaign says he knows he must!
Get ready for the fight of your life.

[jillan]

21. Joey I hope you are right!

I am ready.

[passiveporcupine]

23. I love your sig picture

[jillan]

16. Msnbc has treated Bernie the same way Fox has treated Obama.

Belittled him, creating faux scandals and talking points and repeated them over and over and over again.
Work with the print media (WaPo - esp Capehart) to promote the bullshit.

And just like people that do not listen to the propaganda on faux, those that do not listen to the propaganda on msnbc are in total shock and disbelief when they hear what comes out of those corporate funded stations.

[jalan48]

20. It's all about marginalizing his message.

They don't want their faithful viewers thinking some type of socialism is a good thing.

[appalachiablue]

33. Standard "othering"- discredit, dismiss Bernie & supporters, who won't play corporate ball.

Fight for the people, absolutely!

[Blue_In_AK]

22. Are you still in Seward?

I'm loving your blog.

[SHRED]

24. Yep

Rainy and blowing cool wind.
Thanks...

[Android3.14]

26. Par for the course. They call themselves "journalists" with the same faux authority.

[Zippyzagnut]

27. MSNBC isn't liberal

and has no business talking about anything Democrat. Seriously? Hugh Hewitt? Repub talking points? Andrea Mitchell? Except for Rachel Maddow, it's gone Fox Light.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. MSNBC is told to say that

it's all orchestrated and paid for.

[nc4bo]

31. And MSNBC (&others) don't really broadcast news either. Fuck M$M! nt

[blackspade]

32. MSNBC can fuck off.

MSNBC: "not real journalists"

Asshats...

[sangfroid]

34. I was done with MSNBC

the day I started hearing that crap spewing from Racheal and the Slicky Boys. They can kiss my butt!
