28. Yeah, MSM is definitely in the bag for the corporatist Hillary, no doubt.

To be fair though, MSNBC showed a fair amount of Bernie's Carson, CA rally tonight before breaking away to announce that they were projecting Bernie as the winner in Oregon.

But basically you are right. I only watch MSNBC anymore just to see how biased their coverage and the commentators are. Rachel and Chris Matthews sounded like their heads were going to explode tonight. Matthews was red-faced with anger toward Bernie for not pulling the plug.

Why? Because exactly like you said, they know they have a weak candidate. If Hillary were a strong candidate, they wouldn't be getting their panties in a bunch like they are.
