MSNBC FINALLY ADMITS IT HASN'T BEEN GIVING BERNIE ENOUGH COVERAGE

[Reposting into proper forum]

I was just watching "Morning Joe" and their conversation was about the new polls coming in. Suddenly, Mika interjects and stands up for Bernie. I played it back and took dictation directly from my VCR:

Mika Brzezinskia:
"For 15 minutes we've been talking about Hillary. Can somebody here at the table talk about Bernie Sanders? Can you talk about what he brings to the table and perhaps we have not really given him the coverage, the deference and, quite frankly, and we've underestimated him every step of the way. This guy has been out in Iowa, this guy has been out in New Hampshire. He's been crisscrossing the country tirelessly backing his movement, backing his message."

Eugene Robinson:
"I think Bernie Sanders has been undercovered and, mea culpa. I haven't covered him enough. This has been a year where the establishment lane is going nowhere. It seems to be going nowhere. This is the year where people are looking for that famous word, "authenticity," but they are also looking for new ideas, new approaches. And so here comes Bernie Sanders who is an incredible un-politician. He's different. He's new even though he's been around for a long time. For a lot of voters, he's new. Hillary Clinton, a lot of people don't remember her as First Lady at all. They remember her, perhaps, as senator from New York and as Secretary of State. So they don't have the references we may have. But, Bernie Sanders, this is remarkable what he's done. It really is."

1. let's be real

the reason is MSM suddenly realized that despite declaring no democratic race.that Clinton was inevitiable and not covering bernie
he may win iowa and NH.not only that but clinton's national lead is dropping.

so now of course they will allow people to say we haven't been covering bernie enough.

3. Yeah, pretty much....very lame and unbelievable. nt

9. This is equal to Rassmussen "adjusting" its polls to actual results just before the elections.

When nothing can be gained anymore by another distorted number, time to regain some credibility.

5. let me know when they admit there is a third person in this race.

I swear, no one should ever call the newsthe news anymore, it should be called the most popular stories. the minute they catch on (always too late) to a popular story, they will cover it, other wise, nope, not interested even in the fate of the country rests upon it.

6. Mika has had nothing but smirky disdain for Bernie. Something is definitely up.

I wouldn't accept anything at face value.

8. From the clips I've been seeing lately, she's Feeling the Bern

I think she loves Jane to pieces.

Her attitude changed toward Bernie after the Sanders spent the morning with the Joe crew last week.

10. She said it was after watching 10 hours of Bernie.

That sounds real believable.

12. Had to have some wiggle room in case the wrong people heard her say that

Now if need be she can say she watched 10 more hours and now she's agin him.

7. Yes, the basic meme seems to be "What is Hillary doing wrong?"

They don't really want to talk about what Bernie is doing right. That could lead to discussing the fact that people are looking for a real change in the system. A real change in the system, that is, within which these same commentators are making six- and seven-figure salaries just spouting opinions while rarely having to actually learn something about some of the issues facing our world. So it is fairly natural to expect them to tend to talk about what Hillary could possibly be doing that would allow people to reject this nice comfortable system; and it is a bit unnatural to expect them to talk about how people are excited by the fact that Bernie is proposing to change that same system in substantial ways!

11. No coverage or bad misleading coverage. What a win, win. (sarcasm intended). n/t

13. I look forward to their coverage

of their interviews with Hillary to discuss whether Hillary thinks they've been giving too much airtime to Hillary.

14. The media covers each of the Republicans and then mentions Hillary.
