The REAL Bias - Watch Coverage of Bernies Speech

[TomCADem]

After offering mild critiques of the lack of serious policy proposals offered at the RNC convention watch the media trivialize and ignore the policy proposals offered by the Democrats.

Bernie has invested considerable effort into the party platform which is the most progressive in decades. Bernie will rightly talk about it and claim credit. But watch the media censor any discussion of policy or issues.

That is the real bias. That is the real corporate media gag at work.

1. It's on live on both MSNBC and CNN...how is that censoring? nt

3. Watch The Print Coverage and Analysis...

... That follows. See if there is any coverage tonight of the issues.

4. I don't think it's innate bias, it is just that his issues are so beyond anything that could be

accomplished in a reasonable amount of time by even a series of like-minded administrations, that is seems to most political veterans that he is just pandering for votes. My own middle school aged daughter likened his speeches during the primary to the kid who was running for student body president by promising free cookies in the cafeteria all year long. It stirred up the crowd, but was completely undoable.

5. Minimum Wage?

It has already been done in California.

2. hell yeah!

6. MSNBC just cut to DWS crap.

[TomCADem]

7. See? For all the critiques...

...about the lack of discussion of the issues by the GOP, the media will chase fake drama.

Climate Change?
Minimum Wage?
Fighting racism and sexism?

The corporate media wants a false equivalency even if it means ignoring Bernie himself to highlight a few Bernie or Busters.
