Brooke Baldwin and corporate media conglomerate CNN absolutely suck.

Earlier this morning she covered Trump/Clinton women arguments and had representatives from both sides to give their case.

About 30 minutes later, Brooke stated they will cover the Nevada Convention controversy.

The only thing she and CNN did was show short, edited repeat clips of angry delegates, while having some weasel dude on to put out pro Hillary spin, to paraphrase 'how it all happened because the Bernie delegates were young, or inexperienced and didn't know how the rules worked, that Hillary won the vote and thus deserved having more delegates regardless of how upset Bernie's delegates were, ... that was it.

Their coverage never had any balance, substance, context or detail, they never covered how Nevada's caucus runs in three stages, how Hillary delegates didn't show up for the second stage, how 64 of Bernie's delegates were purged, the parking controversy, Roberta's passing her own motions in a dictatorial fashion, not voting on motions put forth by Bernie's delegates, the delegate voting manipulation or anything else.

It was just bullshit, brainwashing propaganda.

If the U.S. literally goes to Hell in a bobsled you can thank corporate media conglomerates such as CNN for icing the run, what passes for "journalism" in the U.S. is a nothing but a travesty.

I fervently hope, wish and pray the American People exponentially see through this crap and come to understand, the damage done to them by the conflict of interest driven corporate media conglomerates.

You cannot be so naive as to expect fair, unbaised coverage from the US "entertainment" media. And yes, the US does not have anything classified as non-entertainment media anymore

when Nightline became a staple counting the days of the Iranian Hostage Crisis every night of the week.

Nonetheless I feel compelled to call them out on it for those people that haven't woken up yet.

6. I don't believe the voter purge in Arizona was covered either or at best only in passing.

Not until the lawsuits were filed by the DNC/Bernie/Hillary campaigns.

If the lawsuits had never been filed, the corporate media conglomerates outside of local television coverage in Arizona would have been happy to let the rest of the nation sleep through it.

from the corporate media? Of course they side
with the corporatist candidate, at the same time
playing every move by Trump.

7. Seen any mention of Comey's press conference

Given that Comey discussed the FBI investigation of Clinton's emails at last Wednesday's press conference, where was that even mentioned on MSM?
