MSNBC is pulling out all the stop for Hillary today!

I actually just heard one of their news readers say that it's understandable that Hillary is upset with Sanders, because she'd be doing much better if he wasn't flying around the country in "his big luxurious jet" and hold "huge rallies that cost thousands of dollars."

Uh, yeah...I think they call that "politics." Once again, Hillary just thought that she was going to be anointed. 'It's not fair! This was my turn! Again!'

I guess I'm not surprised. It is MSNBS after all.

Are they covering it or pretending that it didn't happen because it would hurt Hillary's campaign?

MSNBC did a short interview with him after the speech as he was leaving the building.

Softball questions about who was most qualified to be president (he said Hillary and didn't bite on answering if Sanders was qualified) but they never mentioned the BLM 'encounter' ... surprise surprise.

I might be off by a word, but yes, they actually said that. Bernie was flitting around the country in his "luxurious jet" and his rallies were drawing "huge crowds, and they cost thousands of dollars."

The bigger story that they are constantly pusing, every five minutes, is the case that Hillary never said anything bad about Bernie, that she never said he was unqualified, and that Bernie is the one who has gone negative.

"Same gun policies as Trump and Cruz." BULLSHIT.

"Not progressive." BULLSHIT. Rich coming from (presumably) someone who thinks Clinton is progressive in any sense.

Three strikes. Welcome to ignore, propagandist.

And we pay for the jets and local transportation, and the security at the events (and Bernie's campaign actually pays the bills promptly, unlike Hillary's campaign). And that allows Bernie to open his events to everybody without charging for admission.

Hillary spends most of her time doing small fundraisers that have large admission fees and aren't open to anybody who won't pay at least $2700 to attend.

And MSNBC is railing about Bernie's campaign? They must really be out of pro Hillary material.

Does the news reader realize HRC is flying around the country in her luxurious jet? There is a joke in there and it writes itself

He doesn't have a "luxurious jet". The media hacks are all in for her. The way Matthews in particular acts is disgraceful.

He has Secret Service and a press contingent traveling with him and he is doing multiple events today in different cities and states. I'm sure he flew commercial between Washington D.C. and Vermont as a House Representative and Senator before he had Secret Service protection.
