MSNBC participates in the swiftboating of Sanders and his supporters

[grasswire]

And now the strategy for HRC is revealed.

1. Paint Bernie as if he is just as unstable/dangerous as Trump.

2. Frame yourself (HRC) as the calm candidate.

THAT IS THE STRATEGIC REASON FOR THE SWIFTBOATING OF BERNIE in NEVADA and going forward.


She has apparently given up on party unity. She's trying to drive progressives out, and bring moderate Republicans in.

MSNBC is eating up the swiftboating as if it were a banana split, and Chris Matthews has particularly fallen for it and is catapulting the propaganda. Joy Reid, too.

Does Tweety twitter?

[oldandhappy]

1. don't watch MSM, we need to take that power away from them

[Fawke Em]

16. Was going to post the same. I'll just echo you.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. lol, gave up on establishment types like Matthews and his ilk a LONG time ago.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[amborin]

3. MSNBC smearing and shilling for HRC all along, disgusting!

[FarPoint]

29. Bernie is not a team player...

He is a loner....so, not Presidential.

[MFM008]

4. or stating the facts

she needs 17% of all remaining delegates to get the nomination
and that is something Sanders supporters don't like .

[grasswire]

5. So you can't comment on Tweety's facebook page without it being...

...approved by monitors.

[riversedge]

38. Wise of Tweety. Kepts it from vile comments.

[B Calm]

6. The ruling oligarchy plan to paint Bernie Sanders delegates before the National Convention

seems to have the corporate media on their side!

[panader0]

7. Matthews is disgusting.

He picked up on the chair thing, with zero proof.
Where are the arrests if there was so much violence?
As for the despicable tweets, why don't the police call back the phone numbers and arrest the callers?
The entire thing stinks. The actions of the Nevada State Democratic Party are not defensible.

[grasswire]

8. yes

How can we neutralize this? They are trying to box in Bernie and his supporters to be intimidated.

Did Weaver talk about filing suit against NV?

[winter is coming]

22. What's telling is how people react, now that the chair thing has been debunked.

I didn't have the stomach for CNN or MSNBC last night, but my guess is that when Wild-Eyed Debbie turned up to talk about those dangerous, violent, no good, very bad, chair-throwing Bernie supporters, no one gently told her that there was no evidence, none, than any chairs had been thrown.

Sometimes the media gets it wrong, and sometimes the media wants it wrong. Retractions are important. If they keep echoing the same narrative going forward, it will be blatantly obvious that this is an intentional smear job, not just shoddy reporting.

[YouDig]

9. By reporting facts. That's always been Bernie's greatest weakness.

[Fawke Em]

17. What facts?

No one threw a chair.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good bullshit story.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[arcane1]

41. Made-up facts, you mean.

Don't forget to wash your socks today!

[Jester Messiah]

10. MSHRC. They're with her. n/t

[Trenzalore]

11. This has been over since Super Tuesday

She has close to triple the delegate lead that Obama had at this point.

Bernie stoking his supporters into a frenzy to keep the money flowing is all we are seeing here.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. Money that could be going towards winning more congressional seats. Bernie is making it look like

an ego thing rather than making real change. Get some progressives into congress.

[Trenzalore]

15. He is not a democrat

The fact he doesn't give a shit about the party should be a surprise to no one.

[Fawke Em]

18. I've been a Democrat for 28 years.

I no longer give a shit about the party either. I'm not rich enough for them to care about me.

[Trenzalore]

24. You lost a primary

So much melodrama.

[Silver_Witch]

32. I agree!

So many posts by HRC supported prove this premises. They sound more like conservatives everyday! And now HRC is courting republicans. Guess the party is dying.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

44. Well then he shouldn't have run as a Democrat then. That would be an asshole thing to do.....

He lied then, claiming he would be a part of the Democratic Party for this election.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Yes, yes he does

https://twitter.com/hardball_chris

Or at least his staff does

[Cheese Sandwich]

13. MSNBC = Fox News for liberals

[Fawke Em]

20. More like Fox News for fake liberals.

I'm a liberal and I can't stand their Hillary ass kissing because she's not a liberal.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. Hillary is the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing... can't believe anyone is falling for this crap!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[beaglelover]

19. Guess you never watch Morning Joe. They are all fully supporting Bernie. They hate Hillary.

[oberliner]

21. They have been raving about Bernie Sanders on MSNBC this morning

The Morning Joe group is presenting Sanders in a very positive light (especially Mika).

[Armstead]

23. They're owned by Comcast -- an awful company that is hosting the Dem convention

There are also a lot of issues on the docket that will affect the Telecommunicaitons Industry.

Nuff said.

[CorkySt.Clair]

25. Good. They both deserve it.

[JudyM]

26. Same on CNN. The entire NV coverage is abt how "violent" Berners are and how Bernie didn't outright

condemn what they did.

DWS was interviewed and pressed that forcefully as well. I will say I didn't think Jeff Weaver gave a clear description of the vote/rules problems that caused the outrage, that would've been helpful to change the narrative.

This is Clinton's team's MO: divert the public from the election fraud, from the strength of Bernie's issues, from the gravity of her issues, etc. Win every news cycle by blasting the truth of the matter out of the water. Slap whitewash on her and mud on him. Because if the public saw the real issues there would be no contest.

[Jitter65]

27. You must not have seen Morning Joe. nt

[kstewart33]

31. No one is saying Bernie is unstable and dangerous.

He's frustrated and upset, and that's clear from his recent interviews and his demeanor.

But unstable and dangerous? Whoa, as a Hillary supporter, I haven't heard or read that from anyone for Hillary.

[Silver_Witch]

34. There are plenty on DU!

See #29 above. The implication is clear. I could find more for you from just this morning, but I am off to work! I am sure you will see them if you look!

[kstewart33]

37. #29 did not say that Bernie is unstable and dangerous.

Again, I haven't seen anyone actually saying that.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

45. If he were to be President, it would be 10 times more stressful than just running for Pres.

[CrowCityDem]

35. Bernie did it to himself. Claiming everything is rigged, and 'apologizing' with excuses. Pathetic.

[riversedge]

36. Sanders showed he was not a leader by the horrible way he handled NV yesterday.

[ViseGrip]

39. This is why I cut my cable cord and I save 100.00 a month! Got an HD antenna for all the free TV

I can watch along with a ROKU and NETFlIX.

Thousands of channels.....my total bill is 8.64 a month, including taxes.

If you don't watch them, their numbers go down. Then their ads cannot be sold for so much, revenue drops. Pundits don't get paid as much, and many are let go, when this happens.

Hear that Rachel?

DON'T WATCH THEM. IT'S AN 'ADJUSTMENT', BUT NOT MAJOR. That, is how you fight back at corporate media. Don't watch, and they can't sell ads for as much money. JUST DO IT.

[arcane1]

40. The Clinton campaign's STATED GOAL is to "disqualify" the Sanders campaign.

Not to defeat them in a fair election, but to make him ineligible to compete.

By definition, this cannot be done by honest means.

[oberliner]

42. That's not the only definition of the term

It also can mean to show that someone is not qualified, which is I think the intention in this case.

Obviously, he is eligible to compete.

[winter is coming]

43. I really miss Jon Stewart. n/t

[eastwestdem]

46. Could it possibly be true, which is why it hurts so much? nt
