Andrea Mitchell Pushes Wall Street Journal Hit Job On Bernie Sanders

And of course our corporate media was happy to play right along as well. Case in point, Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC today, who basically just recited that Wall Street Journal op-ed word for word and asked Sanders to respond. Paul Waldman responded to their nonsense here: No, Bernie Sanders is not going to bankrupt America to the tune of $18 trillion:

1. So Andrea Mitchell doesn't want American to have the money invested for its citizens?

Big scary $18 T - they forget the even bigger scary trillions debt that the Iraq war produced.

2. Haha. The same way Gen. Eisenhower turned the US into a military dictatorship. An empty question.

Didn't the British media ask Corbyn the same question?

It's up to Americans to ignore the hype, or get snowballed by the propaganda. I think we're finally aware.

3. Bernie knows

to those who say "what's Bernie actually accomplished?" ...

Bernie is by far the most progressive sitting member of Congress,
and he's been tracking this shit for decades, and taking notes along
the way.

he can't be bought. he can't be bamboozled with gotcha.

I love this man.. and want him to be my/our POTUS.

4. Overall, I actually thought that was one of Andrea's better interviews

However, I do agree regarding the piss poor analysis by the WSJ in pulling the 18 trillion out of their anal region.

Thanks for the thread, Cheese Sandwich.

6. Evidently Andrea also posts in GD-P

At least I've seen that WSJ piece posted here and vociferously defended.

7. I've been thinking about all of MSNBC's changes and part of me wonders whether

they've all been cover to get rid of Ed Schultz who would be promoting Bernie at every opportunity. MSNBC is a corporate entity and big corporations do not want to "feel the Bern." (Ed also was going after the corporate world with his positions on the Keystone pipeline and TPP. Big corporations only care about the bottom line . . . Ed had to go.)

8. No surprise that

Bernie handled her question, and the rest of the interview, well.
