John Cusack Calls for a Boycott of MSNBC Due to Brazen Anti-Bernie Bias



Very telling Freudian slip by one of them....."“A man like Sanders is more dangerous to this comp... I mean country than Trump”.

I wish we had a truly liberal network. That would actually respect a candidate that would be regarded as a moderate in any other country, where single payer is supported by conservatives too. Just look at the example clips he runs in the piece.

I wouldn't go so far myself as boycotting MSNBC simply because they do have good shows with liberal hosts interspersed with the corporate shills. Even though Bernie may not get much respect, at least I can hear about other issues and candidates on there. I don't go there for any Bernie love though. But Democrats choices are limited for factual news sources.

I'd love to see Bernie win just to watch the corporate talking heads explode.

They are the ''never Trumpers'' Republican Lite Party. Their past affiliations were with Republican candidates campaigns, either as managers or advisers. Has Bernie ever been invited on 'Morning Joe'? How about Elizabeth Warren? They speak for the hand that feeds them, corporate America.

he told gabriel sherman he "listened to thousands of hours of talk radio" for trump in 2014 - hte only reason was to coordinate with the kremlin

they would be the media outlet to get a EUREKA! moment and finally get a clue and start blaming liimbaugh instead of fox, but no

... he's got the whininess and self-righteous sanctimony down just about right. Sarandon has got some real competition bringing up the rear.
