MSNBC and Lot RE: Bernie Sanders ..So angry!

[bkkyosemite]

I have listened off and on today to MSNBC and CNN. I am upset or should I say angry!

They talk about Bernie on MSNBC as if he is but but or or well well after stating he is being listened to by thousands. She the moderator (forgot her name) says Bernie is gaining traction because maybe him and Trump are not the main stream. The analyst she's talking to says well Bernie Sanders is drawing only the upper class liberals in liberal areas and he doesn't think that will go anywhere...(paraphrased)...huh

They constantly on these stations say Bernie is bringing in big crowds then they put him down as not viable, not winning, only a select audience just a knuckle head, a socialist and totally degrade him. They never say Bernie is bringing in crowds and he is very popular. They don't dare.

I think it's time for us to start the emails and phone calls to the Media and start letting them know we are not moron's out here. That they look so obvious that it's pathetic and they need to start respecting what Bernie is able to do in bringing together at his rallys the most people of any candidate yet. Ewww I am so mad have been all day.

1. Or better yet, turn them off.

Why give fascist propaganda networks your eyes and ears? You do have a choice. I found DU years ago while looking for alternatives. They do exist.

3. The problem is:

there are many others who would vote this coming election that are being swayed by the deceitful comments they are making about Bernie. Like he doesn't matter in this election. I'm concerned if we don't stand up for Bernie (a revolution, a team) and start making it public that we are tired of their garbage that people will fall for it. They go to work come home turn on tv and don't come on here. They will at election time think that MSNBC and CNN know what they are talking about. They (the media) do have power in their lies. Bernie said we have to be part of what he is trying to do. Bernie's staff has told the media that they are aware of what they are doing to Bernie. I think it's time for DU members who feel the Bern to stand up for Bernie too.

5. This is not new

I think Bernie's team is navigating around the big money roadblocks to honest information dissemination quite well.

They (msm) will not listen. They have an agenda.

2. There was a Democratic strategist on there this afternoon and she all but called Bernie

a flash in the pan. She insisted that people giving a positive polling response to Bernie are only doing so as a protest and that his numbers really aren't that high. Odd . . . you wouldn't think the tens of thousands of people showing up at rallies would have that much time to waste.

4. Yes

I heard her too. It's was the last straw! That is why I posted after the garbage this morning and the attitude that is so prevalent as you state. GRRRRRR....That is why I think we the people need to start addressing this issue as I don't think Bernie can do it alone. He said so himself.

6. The corporate media as an institution has been clogged and sidetracked by their self-serving

lust for money and power.

They're currently in a branch far removed from the big river and wouldn't recognize a mainstream or large body of water until they were flooded under.

The corporate media needs to strap on their life jackets because the New New Deal is coming.

Thanks for the thread, bkkyosemite.

7. It does not make any difference to call the media.

On MSNBC Comcast decided to stop the "Bernie story".

Ed was cancelled, and Rachel took the q to switch
and defend HRC.

Since Bernie would be a threat to the corporations
they have tried to minimize him or by now perhaps
to fight him. We should never have expected
anything else. And this is only a gentle beginning.

9. Yep. I dropped cable around the time I realized

there wasn't much point in keeping it after the one news station I listened to began this crap.

(And what with departure of Stewart and Colbert from CC, although I do miss Wilmore.)

8. first they ignore you...check. then they laugh at you...check. then they fight you...

relax. It's the last step before then you win.

11. I sure hope you are right :-)

10. these "news" stations have a failing big box store bizz plan

they will end up being that empty store in the old mall that people abandoned for the new shiny mall that will be replaced by the newer mall .

Is it the end of the world ? or just the end of our world ? yikes cheerful .

[AgingAmerican]

12. MSNBC changed their whole format to avoid talking about him

It's pathetic.
