What a week in politics it has been

[RobertEarl]

Finally, New Hampshire voted, and what a message they sent to the world.

The last 9 months has been the longest year. Started out with one big star blinding everyone to other possibilities. But then an asteroid came flying in, eclipsing the star with increasing brightness and Berning thru the obstruction to the point where even the mass $ media had to belatedly remark upon its presence.

Now, the NH vote counted, the results tabulated, the exit polls posted and Nevada the next landing spot being put in focus, the establishment squirms in discomfort.

"This is something new" is the headline buried deep between the lines of the pundits who are paid to explain to us peons what comes next. The surprise in their written words belies their confidence and bares forth that from henceforth any trust they wish to recoup will only be earned by recognizing the People's deep desires for Real Change.

1. I don't think we've begun to see the perfidy of the Corporate Media.

I thought I'd seen the worst they can do when the New York Slimes touted Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld's lies about Iraq on their front page, day after day, with their reporter, Judith Miller, colluding with Rumsfeld to invent the lies. But they can, and more than likely will, do worse than this, when it comes to protecting the 1% from paying taxes and losing political power, along with the rest of the Corporate print and media news monopolies.

The black-holing of Bernie Sanders, which continues even now, is only the beginning. He blows out New Hampshire with 60% of the vote in an historic rout, then, in less than two days, raises over $7 million in tiny donations, and still only merits a footnote to Donald Trump in their news stories. This is incredibly bad, and biased, and lying news coverage. Once the black-holing is over and they can't contain the Sanders phenomena any more, by ignoring it, the sliming will begin.

So I don't agree with this. I wish it were true, but I'm afraid--and experience tells me--that it isn't.

The surprise in their written words belies their confidence and bares forth that from henceforth any trust they wish to recoup will only be earned by recognizing the People's deep desires for Real Change.

The Corporate Media don't wish to regain our trust. They are propaganda horns for the Corporate Elite. Their job isn't news any more. Their job is to re-shape and dictate public opinion to suit their themselves, and lie about it when they don't succeed.

It has been an incredible week in politics, for sure. With that, I agree. I never thought I would see this week, and the last three months, in my lifetime. A REAL Democrat standing up and running for president, and getting this far, in a serious challenge to the Clinton machine. A man of such amazing integrity, steadfastness and heart. Wow! The Corporate media may not be paying attention, but the People are!

2. Indeed

They may think they do not need to be trusted, after all look what they got away with, propping up the bush wars!

Now there are some in the biz that are honest and they are getting a word or two in. Trump has made it easier for them in that the media bosses are blow-jobbing Trump up for his anti-this-and-anti-that, and since Bernie is in that sense similar the few are able to squeeze a little bit of Bernie into the mix.
