Colbert: Everyone Was A Winner In Iowa, Except The Losers
= new reply since forum marked as read
My local rag ran a full page and a half corporate article (McClatchy) that was ALL Trump, Trump, Trump and some Trump-Cruz, Trump-Cruz, Trump-Cruz, for paragraph after paragraph after paragraph over the whole page, then, at the very end of that page (cont'd to back page) a bit of Clinton and a wee bit of Sanders, then, after a few short paras, broken up by the page turn, of Clinton-Sanders, back to Trump, Trump, Trump re NH.
Godawful! As it ALL has been. And this regarding one of the most phenomenal--possibly THE most phenomenal--come-from-behind primary campaigns in U.S. history! Bernie starting from nowhere--5% in the polls, no money, no organization, no media coverage, staggers one of the biggest, most moneyed political organizations in our history, with a virtual tie! Then...THEN, Sanders attracts THREE AND A HALF MILLION small donations in 24 hours on caucus day. I mean, that is jaw-dropping...
!!!
It's bad enough that corporate news is all about personalities and "the horse race," almost never about the issues that are so important to us, but, add to that the black hole of Sanders coverage--where Sanders coverage should be, and isn't--and it is almost (but not quite) funny.
