Clinton: It's the M$M's fault that Bernie is pulling ahead of her in Iowa & NH

This is truly rich. Who knew?

Is media driving Bernie momentum?
By Jonathan Easley and Amie Parnes * 1/29/16 * The Hill

Veteran Democrats and some Hillary Clinton supporters say the media’s thirst for a competitive contest has led it to overplay the rise of Bernie Sanders. They acknowledge that Sanders is running strong in Iowa and New Hampshire – the first two states to vote, but say that is largely because the predominantly white progressive electorates are tailor-made for his candidacy.

~snip~

“It's a media driven story because reporters want an exciting race,” said one former senior Obama administration official, who is neutral. “They want to recreate the 2008 campaign but let's face it, it's not.”

Ironically, just weeks ago it was Sanders supporters who were complaining about the media. At the time, Clinton appeared to have pulled away from Sanders, and his campaign complained about a “Bernie blackout.”

Since then, the media narrative has shifted to Sanders’s rise and whether Clinton is set for repeat of her 2008 failure against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

1. Wow kettle kettle kettle kettle

2. OMG

Is she a victim again, now? There's a vast media conspiracy?

I wish Hillary would just feel empowered and confident and we wouldn't have to be dragged through her victimhood.

Right up there with, Bigfoot was the second shooter on the grassy knoll dropped off there by an Illuminati UFO.

8. Yes, all that "media attention" given by CNN & MSNBC for days after the CNN Forum

There was nothing but Hillary surrogates trashing Sanders with repeats of Cuomo's badgering
Bernie about "Oh Noes .. Bernie's for MORE TAXES!!" .. and "BIGGERING THE GOVERNMENT!!!!"

That must have sent Bernie's numbers right through the roof.

I absolutely love how overtime the PTB engineer some tawdry cheap-ass attack on Bernie, he
keeps his head high, his eye on the prize, and his number hold steady, or go up.

6. They never seem to understand that it is precisely this sort of mendacity

that makes the majority of voters become disgusted with the Clinton's.

[Faux pas]

7. She and the donald

12. Oh shit! He's getting 10 minutes of coverage instead of 2

All in between the 24/7 trumpathon.

13. In other words, that strategy to try and keep him out of the news

by limiting debates and never mentioning him by name has collapsed. It was a stupid strategy to begin with, so of course it failed.

19. "but let's face it, it's not (2008)"

No, this is probably going to end up being an even BIGGER tidal wave than 2008. Why? Because Clinton and Third Way Democrats just don't get it. They're oblivious to the level of anger and frustration that exists. They seem to think the same ol' same ol' that has always worked to maintain complacency and trick people into choosing 'the lesser of two evils' will still work. I almost feel bad for them.

20. It *is* all corporate media's fault!

How dare corporate media obsolete itself! For some strange reason, corporate media can no longer control the rabble!

Do you really want to see the rabble rule, when the top 0.1% clearly knows what is best (for them)?
