Corporate Media Admits Bernie Sanders Is A Strong(er) General Election Candidate

[Autumn]

I don't know if it's been posted but I found this awesome video. Bernie supporters enjoy!

1. Which makes the nightly prime time network news blackout of Bernie all the more perplexing.

Why would they do that?

Thanks for the thread, Autumn.

[Juicy_Bellows]

4. I dunno Joe - sure seems they have their orders.

You really can't trust the mainstream Fourth Estate, it's got three sub-prime mortgages on it.

[Cassiopeia]

6. That's exactly why there is a blackout.

The powers that be are afraid of Bernie. I think we'll find in a little less than a month that they can no longer avoid covering him.

[Samantha]

8. I believe the corporate media has refused to cover him because he

campaigns heartily against the TPP. And as we all know, some of those entities helped draft that "trade bill." So they do not want to give air time to the "enemy." O'Malley also opposes the TPP. Hillary when asked says she has not read the final version and cannot comment until she has. Right.

20. Blackout Not At All Perplexing From A Corporate Owned Media That ONLY "Pumps" The

Anointed Corporate Candidate(s). The Message here... Bernie HAS Cross Over Appeal BIGTIME while Hillary as a GE candidate has the TOTAL opposite effect as the Certified Agent for Wall Street, Corporate America and the American Oligarchy. Just say NO to Hillary Inc.!

26. "Follow the money." Mark Felt, aka Deep Throat. Most useful and succinct political advice ever.

2. gee all it took was a simple clonking on the head

and overwhelming evidence.....

congrats to the m$m for finally admitting the mindblowingly obvious!

[merrily]

28. Exactly. I think the Tyndall Report, itself underreported, embarrassed them.

[restorefreedom]

36. i hate when that happens lol

[merrily]

38. If media had any honesty at all, they would be reporting on the Tyndall Report

and analyzing ways to avoid bias that dramatic in the future--and I don't mean only as to Sanders. That report was a bombshell and a fairly strong indication of collusion.

[KoKo]

40. The only thing that's changed from Tydale Report is:

since it was done Ted Cruz is now getting more coverage!

Scanning this it seems much else is the same. Carson is still getting attention even with low polling numbers and revealed (to me) mental instability and Cruz is involved with his "Birther" issue. But....more of the same from what I've scanned. I'm probably watching more of MSM coverage the last two months than I have in years...but, can only take so much of it.

41. sadly, they don't care anymore.

the media has lost all cred at this point, and i think they are ok with being blatantly biased.

[farleftlib]

3. They're finally getting it

Bernie is a winner! Thanks for posting this.

[Paka]

Good post, Autumn.

[Thespian2]

7. Excellent

Thank you for this post...maybe America is waking up...

[CorporatistNation]

15. Yes America IS Waking Up... The MSM Has To at Least Show A Little Bern...

As they do not want to look like complete asshats when Bernie cleans Hillary's clock in Iowa and NH in 3 weeks...

[George II]

9. Selective mini-clips put together for a political ad. Hmmmm.

[Autumn]

10. NO!!!

[George II]

11. YES!!!

[Autumn]

13. OMFG. Trust a Bernie supporter to be the first ever to put together a compilation of videos

on the candidate they support. No wonder his supporters are hated so much! OMG

[George II]

14. Where's the CONTEXT?

[Autumn]

17. The CONTEXT is wherever, whatever you want it to be!!

[George II]

21. Which means what I originally said, "selective mini-clips put together for a political ad".....

...and, I might ad, NO CONTEXT!

[Autumn]

22. You are serious??? A post with a video must have CONTEXT ?

Kewl!

[George II]

23. Since it's a conglomerate of snips from FULL videos, yes. David Letterman used to do...

...a weekly bit on the same thing - selective posts. It was hilarious.

[Autumn]

24. Yes. Snips from full videos, on TV. And now I'm bored with whatever it is you are trying to say.

Do have a nice evening

[George II]

25. What I'm trying to say is that a few seconds of videos spliced together to "support" a candidate....

....has been done over and over again, and has proven to be ineffective. In fact, mostly counter productive.

It won't make a ripple in the polls OR the primaries.

[Autumn]

30. It's not supposed to make ripples in the polls OR the primaries.

As I said in the OP it's for Bernie supporters to enjoy. You should find something like that made by a Hillary supporter and post it for your fellow Hillary supporters to enjoy.

Oh wait. Who am I kidding.

[George II]

31. "ots"? I don't know what that means, but....

....look at the opening of the video, "voteforbernie.org".

[Autumn]

32. Yep that it does. And we Bernie supporters are enjoying it.

Here meet the guy who did the video Doe Nation.

37. Reality is that the premise of the subject line is entirely incorrect.

By the way, I forgot to congratulate you.

[CorporatistNation]

18. Agreed... Wins In Iowa and NH...

Will cause Great Consternation in the MSM... and the Great Plunge of Hillary into the depths of desperation and despair will be at Full Throttle!

[George II]

27. +15% in Iowa and virtually tied in NH isn't going to be "wins"....

...and even if Sanders pulls out a very close "win" in New Hampshire, that means he'll win 12 delegates to............Clinton's 12 delegates! That's how it works, folks.

[INdemo]

16. That was great post Thank You

.we have to keep phone banking in Iowa and get those questionable caucus attendees more enthused about caucusing.
If we win Iowa and then NH this will be HUGE in gaining the momentum and then finally the corporate media will be forced to give Bernie the deserved air time...

If anyone has a friend or friend of a friend that would be interested in volunteering for phone banking or other volunteer work
Please go to:

Its very very easy to do and it really makes a difference

GO Bernie !!

[Autumn]

19. Great post and thank you

[dlwickham]

29. I thought we couldn't trust corporate media

haven't the bern bots been saying that all along?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

45. It would take a foolish person to trust the "corporate media"

At the same time, it would also take a foolish person to disagree with them when they say the sky is blue and the grass is green. We have brains so that we can evaluate things like this. You're welcome.

[senz]

34. Thanks, Autumn! Really good to see.

Most of the commentators are on the Democratic side, and thank goodness they're speaking out. I don't know what to think Ann Coulter, but sometimes she likes to pick the winner, whether or not it's someone she approves, just to appear smarter than everyone else.

35. Kickitty kick....

Welcome to DU Ivan.

44. Well thank you so much. It's so nice to be here.
