Liberal media turns on Sanders
By Niall Stanage - 05/19/16 06:00 AM EDT

Bernie Sanders is suddenly facing a barrage of criticism from liberal commentators.

As the fallout from last weekend’s Nevada Democratic convention spreads, sharply critical pieces about the White House hopeful and his campaign have appeared in progressive outlets such as Mother Jones, Talking Points Memo and Daily Kos within the past 48 hours.

The Sanders campaign has also taken hits from progressive CNN contributor Sally Kohn, who endorsed the Vermont senator from the stage at a massive rally in New York City just before the Empire State’s April primary.

Kohn wrote an article published Wednesday for Time magazine that was headlined, “I felt the Bern but the Bros are extinguishing the flames.”

2. "turns" implies they were ever for him

I love this narrative. "Suddenly Democratic hacks don't like the guy!"

Suddenly. As if we didn't hear this from day one.

It's like saying, "Suddenly, neighbors note I didn't weed my patio last month!" They knew. They bitched. But now let's pretend we're all noticing it this week.

Well, tch. I'm still not weeding my patio. Screw you, that's why. I do what I want.

People like Sally Kohn, who was very pro Bernie:

3. Turns. They have always been against Bernie unlike Clinton (who without the corporate media would

not still be in the race).

4. Turns ???

It would be amusing if it weren't so disturbingly harmful for this

country and the world.

The establishment liberal media has never been on the side of Bernie.

He was ignored while the establishment liberal media covered Trump nonstop 24/7.

They covered Trump's empty podium on numerous occasions.

The establishment liberal media has spread numerous falsehoods about

Bernie and never corrected any of them !!!

The establishment liberal media is now attacking progressives all over this country.

The establishment liberal media and the powers behind the Democratic party

have Alan Grayson on their list.

It is truly amazing and astounding how far Bernie has come !!!!!!!

He is taking on the establishment, he is taking on Wall Street, he is taking

on corruption, he is taking on money in politics, he is taking on the power

behind the Democratic party.

Bernie supporters are financing his campaign.

No other candidate can say that.

Bernie supporters know the truth.

You will not sway them with lies and misinformation.

I am a 62, soon to be 63 year old, female Bernie Bro.

Bernie has earned my respect and admiration.

I am sick of the Bush family.

I am sick of the Clinton family.

The destruction, misery, and death these 2 families have caused

in this country and around the world is incalculable.

6. Hillary is the plan, always has been.

The only media that ever supported or even recognized Bernie were those not bought. That's probably 1 to 2 %.

8. The way Bernie handled Tantrumgate was a real turnoff for many

of his followers.

10. "Tantrumgate"

Love it!

11. As long as the MSM keeps the story alive, it's "Tantrumgate". nt

9. "The fact that the criticism is coming from left-leaning sources makes it more difficult for Sanders

supporters to rebut it."

CLEARLY this person has never spent two second in GDP. Where people are "rebutting" the endless stream of criticism by saying that the entire fucking WORLD is anti-Sanders, that Clinton orchestrated the whole thing, and that everything is just not fair!!!111

The fact that they are not rebutting any of this intelligently, convincingly or logically is one thing. But Lord KNOWS rebutting it, they are most definitely trying to do.

12. And they should turn on him. Encouraging bad behavior AND pledging to continue personal attacks.

He reminds me of the old guy next door who gets mad when the kids walk on his lawn.
