Charlie Rose interviewing Bernie sounded like a Clinton surrogate.

[Skwmom]

There is no 4th estate in America. I think we could teach Russia and its propaganda machine a thing or two.

He tried so hard to get Bernie to agree that he would not say anything that could be viewed as negative against Clinton. Since when in the hell has this been the job of a journalist? Oh, that's right. Since the corporations took control of our media and they decided to do anything to prop up the corporate candidate.

The corporate media won't expose the truth about Clinton and they are determined to keep Bernie from doing so.

But they are engaging in a futile effort. It will come out in the general election.

1. Charlie Rose vets BS finally and you whine-and toss him under the Sanders bus.

[Skwmom]

2. That was not vetting. That was advocating on behalf of Clinton. I enhanced my post.

8. Explain this to me then.

WTF do we usually see jack shit of Bernie on MSM unless they absolutely are forced? They have not given him a fair share of the airwaves compared to Trump(this aspect goes for Hillary as well but Bernie really suffers) and when they do it always seems in some ways to gotcha or grill him when I never feel like Hillary gets the same treatment. The only exceptions really are comedy shows for Bernie like Larry Wilmore and a few others. Why does it have to be COMEDY shows that give him a bit of a fairer hearing for crying out loud?!
The only time that treatment on Hillary seems more consistent is during debates and even during some of those they have let her get away with rambling on.

3. The entire msm, including PBS, are establishment and therefore Clinton surrogates.

That is not even debatable by people of integrity.

The only question is, what, if anything, can we do about it?

4. One hopes we don't go back into hibernation at the end of the

nomination fight.

5. One thing that should be done is the ownership and funding of ALL news sources should be prominently

displayed.

6. Another thing is to break up the media oligopolies and reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

Yes, just use the Anti-trust laws already on the books.

7. It would actually be immensely helpful if Sanders brought this up directly:

>>>> reinstate the Fairness Doctrine >>>>

[Skwmom]

11. Anti-trust laws are useless if you don't have a govt willing to enforce them.

[Native]

12. We need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

Another Reagan legacy. Argh.

9. Don't forget Newshour.

Jon Malone has his hands in that pie and made money from it.

[merrily]

10. Wouldn't NewsHour be covered by the words "entire msm, including PBS?"

[JudyM]

13. Seems Bernie has given up on MSNBC ... since he's started openly calling out GE, its parent.

14. My dad likes Charlie Rose. That interview left him scratching his head.

I have not watched it, but my dad did; he came to the conclusion that the interview was an effort to trip Bernie up - he said it stunk and he doesn't like Rose anymore. I was a little surprised my dad would point this out.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

15. Not the biggest surprise i think

People don't like it when others try to play them for a fool.

Your father likely saw Charlies rather obvious actions as an attempt to do exactly that.

[Skwmom]

17. Not just trip him up. It painted an inaccurate picture - refusing to acknowledge what the

Clintons and her surrogates were doing and trying to get Bernie to agree to remain silent about Clinton.

[seabeyond]

16. She caused the deaths in Iraq. Ok. Just teasing. Ya.... right.
