Sanders is getting creamed in the media.

[procon]

It's a feeding frenzy at MSNBC and CNN, there's blood in the water. The news show hosts are nailing him to the wall, all their reporters and guests are piling. He catching a lot of bad PR mojo about his weak response the the Nevada incident.

[cliffordu]

1. This means he has been successfully

Ratfucked

[KittyWampus]

15. It means the kid gloves the media has used on Sanders are MAYBE finally be taken off...

MAYBE.

Exposing Sanders' for what he is is not 'ratfucking'.

Exposing Sanders supporters who engage in mob behavior is not "ratfucking'.

Pointing out how inappropriate Sanders' response to that mob behavior is not 'ratfucking'.

[cliffordu]

28. Derp.

[scscholar]

34. This

Maybe this will ease-up on the bias against Hillary now that they're less biased for him after his violence.

[MrMickeysMom]

52. Derp... a.k.a....

confirmed about as much rat fucking that can happen without a series of rats sitting around the television wanking.

[Vattel]

92. lol

[uponit7771]

133. +1

[BootinUp]

2. He doesn't care apparently. nt

[JackRiddler]

68. If he had, he would never have come this far.

I, too, welcome the contempt of the corporate media.

[TCJ70]

3. I'm a cord cutter...

...are they even mentioning why they were upset?

[itsrobert]

29. 58 Bernie Delegates in Nevada not properly registered Democrats before deadline

They were effectively barred from the convention. They were mad because they couldn't overturn the people's vote.

[TCJ70]

36. Except what you're writing isn't accurate...

...because these people also participated at the county level, which REQUIRES you to be registered as a Democrat. So, prior to May 1st they HAD to be registered Dems or they wouldn't have been eligible at the county level.

Nice try, though.

[itsrobert]

63. They couldn't provide evidence they were registered as Democrats on May 1st.

They were subject additional scrutiny like all delegates at the convention. Somehow they failed to provide the evidence. Leading to a reasonable person to believe they somehow circumvented the verification process in their prior efforts or were not checked properly.

[TCJ70]

88. That's convenient...

...so all 64 of them fooled every checker at the county level? It's reasonable for a person who passed the credentials check at one level not to expect trouble at the next level. What's telling is 58 of them weren't even given the opportunity to defend themselves. I know you're OK with this because it means things went your way, I just hope you're never on the receiving end of it.

[itsrobert]

91. They had a chance to defend themselves prior to the convention

They were all notified that their status as Democrats need additional evidence prior to the convention. They did not defend themselves when given the opportunity. They chose to ignore the request.

[hack89]

115. Half the credentials committee were Bernie supporters

Including the co-chair. Notice that they are not complaining?

[MrMickeysMom]

56. No such thing.. Here - a little view might be good for you...

[LiberalFighter]

126. Actually, almost all of them didn't bother to show up.

[procon]

33. Evidently there was some coordination with Sanders campaign staff

and the actions of Sanders people on the floor. Then Sanders feeble response make him look weak and indecisive in not strongly condemning his violent fans. Howard Dean was really critical, and Joy Reed as well. Its going to very hard for Sanders to unwind this mess if he doesn't act fast

[TCJ70]

43. I mean why the people there were upset...

...or are they ignoring what started everything? It's not like they just showed up for a fight...and there wasn't even a fight. There was yelling, but that's it.

[itsrobert]

67. 58 Bernie Delegates in Nevada not properly registered Democrats before deadline

They tried to cheat the system and got caught and then got mad.

[seabeyond]

86. Not only that they weren't registered Dem.

* Based on the county convention results, Bernie Sanders had 2,124 delegate slots to the State Convention and Hillary Clinton had 1,722 delegate slots to the State Convention.

* On Saturday at the State Convention, after all of the alternates were seated, Hillary Clinton filled 1,695 of her delegate slots and Bernie Sanders only filled 1,662 at the State Convention — giving Clinton a 33-delegate margin of victory.

* Clinton only had 27 delegate positions vacant on Saturday. Sanders left 462 vacant. Clinton filled 98 percent of her available delegate slots at the State Convention, and Sanders only filled 78 percent of his available delegate slots.

* In plain terms, the Clinton campaign organized and got nearly all of their delegates to the State Convention. The Sanders campaign did not.

* Six of the 64 potential delegates were seated as delegates after investigation.

* The remaining potential delegates were ineligible for two main reasons: 1) They were not registered Democratic voters in Nevada by May 1, 2016, and 2) Their information — such as address, date of birth and name — could not be found or identified, and they did not respond to requests from the party and campaigns to correct it.

* Only eight of the ineligible delegates even attempted to register at the State Convention.

* The so-called “minority report” about these ineligible delegates was not written by the Credentials Committee — it was written by national Sanders campaign staff on site. A member of Sanders’ National Delegate Operations Team drafted and arranged for a member of that committee to attempt to deliver an incendiary report that caused chaos and violence at the convention. It was inaccurate, misleading and subsequently discredited by the Credentials Committee.

* The Credentials Committee, the panel that made decisions on these issues, was co-chaired by supporters of both campaigns and the membership of the committee was also equally divided between supporters of both campaigns. This was done to ensure that the entire process was fair, transparent and accountable for both campaigns and their supporters. The committee worked diligently and cooperatively all day, under incredibly trying circumstances, to be fair and impartial in its work.

[procon]

79. Your version sounds peachy, but it doesn't match any of the news reports.

Sorry, but you're on your own on this one.

[TCJ70]

83. There's a good amount of video of the event with no violence at all...and no video...

...of the supposed violence that supposedly occurred. That's a little odd, isn't it?

[JaneyVee]

4. Because his silence is his consent.

He wants to be the leader of a movement but runs away at every chance.

[MrMickeysMom]

60. That isn't silence...

It's the sound that you don't hear when closing up your ears, your eyes and leaving your mouth to do the interpretation.

[hellofromreddit]

85. Why is Hillary still silent on Brock's treatment of Anita?

Because silence is consent.

[pmorlan1]

5. Not Surprised

Looks like it's up to all of us to get out the truth on Twitter and other social media. In those states that have yet to vote we need to be getting out flyers that explain what is happening including providing links where people can go to get the truth. They want to declare war on all of us we will go into guerilla fighting mode on the ground to get the truth out.

[reformist2]

18. The truth about NV is already out there, and is spreading. The establishment doesn't have a chance

Their attempt to smear Bernie is a day late and a dollar short.

[Cali_Democrat]

6. Excellent!

[Uncle Joe]

7. The only weak thing is what passes for journalism by our corporate media conglomerates.

Thanks for the thread, procon.

[seabeyond]

8. Good. Well earned. Nt

[MFM008]

9. 17 percent

of all delegates left is all she needs to put this away.
And Sanders supporters dont like it.

[reformist2]

10. Camp Hillary is getting creamed in the alternative media and internet. Guess which matters more? ;)

[auntpurl]

11. Yes, this has been a "losing the news cycle" day for the Bernie campaign.

[azurnoir]

30. on the TEEVEE but not on the net

[auntpurl]

32. Actually he's getting smacked around on Twitter quite a lot too.

[azurnoir]

44. Not really except perhaps in closed bubble groups

you see we have actual video proof of what we say something Hillary's side seems to lack entirely

[BootinUp]

12. Howard Dean is ripping the conventioneers that used the "c" word at Boxer. Just

ripping them. On MSNBC.

[seabeyond]

35. I appreciate every man that does that. Men listen to men. They do not care that we women don't

like it. So, good for Dean.

[Arkansas Granny]

54. Yes. If a woman denounces a man's unacceptable language

she is ignored or called other names.

[peggysue2]

138. As do I

Cheers to Dean for standing up.

[Fuddnik]

48. They said "clown"?

[sheshe2]

76. I thank Howard Dean...

For standing for women.

[frylock]

122. Wait.. the 'b' word has now morphed into someone calling her the 'c' word?

Was the 'b' word not getting the traction that was hoped for?

[Blue_Adept]

136. It's in regards to the texts that were received

alongside the death threats with those.

[frylock]

139. Hmmmmnn.. yes yes. We all eagerly anticipate reading the police report.

A report has been filed with the police, no?

[Fuddnik]

13. MSHRC and CNN are jokes.

I cut the cord so I don't even get those asshole channels anymore.

[AtomicKitten]

14. Cable MSM is obsolete in the bigger scheme of things; his campaign thrives on social media.

[KittyWampus]

19. And that is a part of why he is losing so badly.

[auntpurl]

22. Too bad you can't just tweet your vote.

He'd be winning in a landslide!

[SFnomad]

46. If they have to type in an entire 140 character tweet, they might not do it as it's too much work

[AtomicKitten]

23. Under the circumstances, i.e., election fraud & voter suppression, he's doing well.

He is cultivating a viable voting block while Clinton is marching her followers off a cliff.

[workinclasszero]

50. Hate radio is the baggers bubble to protect them from reality

So social media is Sanders bubble of fantasy?

Good to know, thanks.

[AtomicKitten]

61. Cord-cutting has neutered the Media Heathers in the cable MSM.

Only misinformed/uninformed chumps cling to that medium.

[workinclasszero]

84. Online is weak

One person with time on their hands can make their one voice seem like a hundred or a thousand.

Then it comes time to vote and the massive millennial revolution you thought you had on the internet turns out to be nothing but the fever dreams of a few keyboard warriors.

[AtomicKitten]

111. LOL. Keep telling yourself that.

[workinclasszero]

116. Its a fact.

The revolution has deserted Sanders at the ballot box.

BHO turned out waaaay more of the 18 to 29 years olds than Sanders has! LOL

[AtomicKitten]

119. In Clinton BizarroWorld maybe, not in real life.

Bernie has shattered many records BHO set including at the ballot box and fundraising.

Many will be tailgating the general election in November and laughing their asses off when Hillary drives the Democratic Party off the cliff. You will reap what you are sowing. Karma's gonna be a bitch.

[BeyondGeography]

16. Had to happen eventually

Thing is, he actually deserves it. At least much more than Obama did when he had to walk through fire over Rev. Wright, in case anyone thinks Bernie is being singled out for special treatment. In fact, it's hard to think of any candidate of his stature who has enjoyed more special treatment, except his has been of the near total lack of scrutiny and vetting by the MSM.

No tears for Bernie.

[workinclasszero]

17. That's great! Glad to hear it!

He could not bring himself to condemn death threats against other democrats, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt he is unfit for the office of the presidency, the senate, Governor, mayor, dog catcher, street sweeper!

Get the hell out of my party Sanders!!!

[ThePhilosopher04]

27. You mean Hillary is unfit.

[azurnoir]

37. "Get the hell out of my party Sanders!!!" but leave your voters at the door right?

sorry but if the DNC gets away with this most Bernie will simply walk away

[workinclasszero]

65. If they support the vile terror threats and vandalism done in Nevada

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I'm sure Trump will be sympathetic to your cause!

[azurnoir]

89. First off there was no vandalism in Nevada no video's at all

all we have recorded 'threats' from a blogger who's enjoying his 15 minutes 'secondly I made a general statement you chose to make it personal - why is that?

[workinclasszero]

95. Are you even serious? The vandalism of the Nevada Democratic HQ was been widely reported

and also Carson City.

http://www.nevadaappeal.com/news/22043612-113/democratic-party-headquarters-in-carson-city-vegas-spray#

[LuvLoogie]

62. It was a petulant non-response by him. He needs a rest to gather himself for his redemption.

[seabeyond]

71. Petulant. The campaign of petulance. Nt

[Maru Kitteh]

20. It's about time he and his campaign finally got a little bit of token scrutiny!

He's had a free ride in the name of ratings LONG ENOUGH.

[winter is coming]

21. Another DUer said they're trying to run the Dean Scream.

Whoever that was, they nailed it.

[CrowCityDem]

24. It's about time. He's been coddled for too long.

[B Calm]

25. LOL, Snort. .

[underthematrix]

26. Yes he is and I'm enjoying every minute of it

[grasswire]

31. In other words, the swiftboating is working again.

You admit it right here and now.

Oddly enough, there aren't any Bernie surrogates or leaners among the guests. Are there?

[seabeyond]

39. First time evah... not coddled being held responsible for irresponsible actions.

[grasswire]

45. you just don't make sense. nt

[seabeyond]

58. Lol. I was gonna say whatever. Somehow, I thought I was on another post. I had hit reply

to your post, and decided I didn't want to bother replying. I guess I didnt get out of the reply window, before saying something else, about something else.

So correct, I bet it doesn't make sense.

[Txbluedog]

53. There are t any Bernie supporters

Because no one wants to end their career in politics associating with him anymore

[grasswire]

57. ridiculous

ridiculous

[procon]

90. One of his very few superdelegates has already bolted.

That's not ridiculous, it's a gigantic loss Sanders coun't afford. Just sayin'...

[procon]

64. Oh noes, not the vast conspiracy against Sanders controlled by...

sorry, refresh my memory, who's playing the role of the Svengali mastermind today?

[rurallib]

70. that is exactly what is happening

Sanders can't even get his name mentioned on TV until they break out into a huge well co-ordinated attack.
The corporatists don't just want victory, they want blood.

[grasswire]

80. yep

It's more visible today than at any time yet in the campaign.

They are in hyper mode, and I know why.

The Clinton strategy now is to paint Bernie as dangerous as Trump is.

Full speed ahead. She no longer thinks she needs progressives. Forget about unity. She's wooing the moderate Republicans into her nest.

And she's deflecting from the very real sound of FBI agents after her. Very soon.

[TCJ70]

93. It's sad to watch a long-time Democratic ally get this treatment...

...from the party he's caucused with for his entire career.

[seabeyond]

100. It is more sad to see him walk into the party and diss, falsely accuse, attack the party that

welcomed him, ignoring the base, while demanding their vote. Sad? Meh. Disappointing and surprising.

[TCJ70]

101. Oh man! I thought you had me on ignore!

So, do you have evidence of Bernie orchestrating NV yet? There's a good number of people that would be interested in it...

[Grassy Knoll]

38. Ouch, Got SP80?

[YouDig]

40. As well he should. What his supporters did was outrageous, and his response was

horrible, basically ignoring the violence and blaming it on some conspiracy against him. I can only hope that it's his staff who wrote that, and not him.

[laruemtt]

41. Screw the media. He's down only 2% now in KY voting!!!!

[winter is coming]

51. But they can report on that in the most cursory fashion possible,

since they have a brand new Shiny. It's why they have a brand new Shiny.

[joshcryer]

42. Never snub the media.

[NCTraveler]

47. Just watched Lester Holt on the evening news.

Wasn't kind to Sanders at all.

[greatauntoftriplets]

66. I saw that, too, and he wasn't.

[nc4bo]

49. 24/7 entertainment and Trump infomercials disguised as "news", how devastating.

[BillZBubb]

55. Corporate media all in for corporate candidate--shocking!

They perpetrated the lie about the Bernie photograph. Now they're going with the lie about the "violence" in NV. Of course there isn't one video of any real violence, but the Clinton news networks are pushing it like it was the Reichstag fire.

The good news is that by the time California comes up, everyone but the Hillary fanatics will know the truth.

[procon]

105. What other type of media do you think most Americans get their news from?

Sanders is/was playing for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party and right now the MSM is showing his potential voters just what kind of a weak and cowardly man they might elect as president

[dgauss]

59. Another good person getting torn apart by corrupt politics, self-serving media

and some pretty nasty trolls. A lot of people here celebrating that.

[MrMickeysMom]

74. While those mental midgets are busy with that...

I wonder how fair and balanced their report of the election returns are setting up to be.

We now have the death of the Republican Party, the self abuse of the Democratic establishment/DNC trolls and liars, and ... Here comes the media.

You want to be dead, MSM? You've just added another nail to your pine box.

[nadinbrzezinski]

69. Corporate Media Ripping Apart Candidate that Promises to Break them UP

there, that is a proper headline

Oh and news at 11

[jfern]

72. The media is a bunch of lying liars who lie

[Warren DeMontague]

73. I suspect he is going to have a very good night at the polls

How convenient, they have something else to talk about.

[grasswire]

82. yep

Now that they have labeled him dangerous, they can discount everything good that happens for him.

[ecstatic]

75. And rightfully so! His non apology was quickly followed by a justification

and continuation of this lie about a "rigged" process. He's feeding the anger of the Bernie Bros. Promising chaos at our convention and aiding Trump. I'm so disgusted by Bernie at this point. The DNC needs to have a sit down with this man NOW and end this. I do not want anything to do with people making death threats, etc. Let them join Trump. We don't need that trash.

[bunchofpenguins]

97. BS.

The only parties that need to apologise are the DNC and Clinton for the shameful way they subverted democracy.

Eff 'em until they do. Enjoy begging for votes in the fall when they pissed away all liberal and independent support through their criminal and Republican-like actions.

[ecstatic]

110. How did they subvert democracy? Bernie has won many states-

mostly caucus, open primary states, but he's won states fair and square, based on the rules. The vast majority of democrats, however, have decided to pass on the Bern. Why is that so hard to accept? Why are you and Bernie insisting that Bernie was somehow robbed?

[wundermaus]

77. What else would you expect from the coroprate comtrolled mass media?

We are dealing with Sociopaths and fools that follow them.
It's all about the greed and power.
They will stop at nothing to get what they want, and to hell with everybody and everything else. Bernie is annoying them and they can't have that!
History is unfolding in front of our eyes... haven't seen this sort of potential for a progressive renaissance since 1968. Things are going to get crazy if f Bernie does not back down. And I don't think he will back down because he is not afraid to speak truth to power, greed, and corruption.

[floriduck]

78. I'd expect nothing less from the corporate world.

[griffi94]

81. Well Bernie's earned it

So far the press has been pretty lite on him.

He really looks weak tho.

[Beowulf]

87. Comcast and Time Warner

Two of Hillary's BFF's

[Sheepshank]

94. he had a chance to make good and trying to reset the frenzy

instead he gave excuses and double downed on a message that has been failing him on the campaign.

[bunchofpenguins]

96. What a surprise?

The media has had a love fest for Clinton, Trump, and the establishment from day one and hated Bernie because he represents everything the media hates.

[workinclasszero]

98. They are ripping Bernie a new one on MSNBC!

[k8conant]

104. MSNBC has plenty of its own already...

they've been spreading lies about what happened.

[riversedge]

103. Good.

[riversedge]

106. Barbara Boxer said the NV scene was the worst she has ever seen. Shame on the Sanders fans.

[beachbumbob]

107. Not just a weak response..But failed as a leader......in taking so long

He is turning out to be an embarrassment

[jeff47]

108. Dean Scream, Mk 2 (nt)

[arcane1]

109. The same media that breathlessly reports every brain fart that comes out of Trump?

[Surya Gayatri]

112. Glory be...and about damn time. He deserves every bit of negative scrutiny for his

shameful tacit approval of bullying and violence.

[oldandhappy]

113. Stop watching MSM. I am serious.

Take away their power over you.

[workinclasszero]

117. They are slamming Sanders again on MSNBC!

[EndElectoral]

118. Amazing the whole DNC is there.

[frylock]

121. ..

[Number23]

123. He deserves all of it. And after seeing him turn and walk off when asked about Nevada

His very bad day/week will likely continue for some time.

[BootinUp]

125. Not very Presidential. nt

[Skwmom]

124. Like that is something new with the corporate whores that care more about $$$$$$$$ than the people

of this country. They have been bashing Bernie for months.

[azmom]

127. We welcome their hatred.

[procon]

128. On Maddow's show, a young woman who was a Sanders delegate blamed

the violent behavior of her fellow Bernie fans on the 3 bars that were available at the convention site. So if it's not bad enough that Sander's troops went on a violent rampage, it's even better when it's a drunken violent rampage.

[Jitter65]

129. Deservedly so. nt

[DemonGoddess]

130. That's as it should be

Where he SHOULD be saying that this behavior on the part of HIS DELEGATES was unacceptable and shouldn't have happened, he's not.

[mhatrw]

131. LOL at his "weak" response. He issued a STRONG response, and that's why they are royally pissed.

[Nanjeanne]

132. It's the Howard Dean Scream all over again. Shame on Dean for not

realizing the bs that's being done by the media when they did it to him and got away with it.

[Skwmom]

134. They have doubled down because he won't support their farce.

[azurnoir]

135. They're doubling down because he won anyway

[anotherproletariat]

137. I've been recording these clips like mad...anyone who canvasses for Hillary needs to do the same

They are working wonders out on the street! No one wants to support a bully.

[karynnj]

140. As a Democrat, I hate to see this -- as it seems like it will lead to a replay of 1968

Nevada itself seemed to be the result of negative media for the two weeks before that.

What I do not get is why all the HRC are so eager to push him out and destroy him, if possible, in the process. There has been little doubt that HRc will win the nomination, so why not sit tight - campaign mostly touting her resume and platform and attacking Trump - and let the contests happen and then win the majority of pledged delegates.

HRC compares this year only to 2008 - and speaks of how much closer that year was - forgetting she stayed in longer and claimed it was helping Obama. I don't recall a concerted effort to get opponents out in other years - including 1992, a year she likely remembers where her husband did not clinch the nomination until June.

Now, I get that she does not want the primaries to continue, but the fact is that she has not yet gotten more than half of the pledged delegates. Unlike Gore, who ran the boards when he was essentially in her position, she hasn't.
