Random hillary supporter complains CNN is giving Bernie too much air time...

[Bubzer]

Yes, this just happened. The presumptive nominee who has had dramatically more air-time than Bernie, has at least one supporter complaining about his air time. Anyone else feel like telling that person to STFU? This may be just the tip-of-the-spear on a new campaign to diminish Bernie through claiming he has too much air time.

Bernie had been virtually ignored until Iowa... and media outlets are STILL trying very hard to marginalize him. Much in the way I think teachers aren't given their just due, I think Bernie is still not receiving anything approaching equal media coverage time. It has improved though. Here's hoping the trend continues.

1. I saw that

Smells like bait to me.

I'll pass.

[Bubzer]

2. That was my thought as well. I have to admit, it was very tempting bait.

Fortunately, wisdom won out and I more or less stayed away.

4. Good!

They get creative don't they?

Good on you.

[Bubzer]

12. They do. Usually I can pretty effectively dismantle the nonsense, but occasionally they sneak one by

3. For those of us that watch cable news CNN is doing a much better job than msnbc - not a joke

They do cover Bernie. And they deal in facts. They have panels of people that spin BUT AC, even Wolf, Don Lemon talk in facts.
While Rachel, Tweety, Chucky talk in spin & then have guests on to spin some more.

7. It kind of makes sense...

...in that CNN bills itself primarily as a news source, and MSNBC promotes itself more as an opinion source.

[Bubzer]

13. Right! MSNBC, for a long time, wanted to be a direct competitor to fox noise.

5. If they ran all Bernie all day, all weekend even

He still would have the least coverage in the last 12 months.

11. Bernie was out blacked on MSM for months, follow his example and just

6. CNN is giving Bernie too much air time...?????

Yeah right...

Like I believe it.

[Bubzer]

16. Yeah...its pretty absurd.

[appalachiablue]

8. Feel the Bern!

[thereismore]

9. I saw that post. Pathetic. nt

[Bubzer]

15. Yeah... I did a double take... and found my jaw dropping over the it.

The blatant hypocrisy and disingenuousness of it was actually surprising. It takes a lot of gall to post something so obviously false.

10. Is that a joke? nt

[Bubzer]

14. Sadly, no. I had about the same reaction.

[Duval]

20. At first, I thought it was! nt

17. Random Hillary supporter is an idiot or purposely spreading disinformation.

Or just whining for no reason.

[dchill]

18. They think ANY air time is too much...

Bernie air time. Personally, I think they spend too much time speculating whether and when Bernie will drop out. They need to stop wasting everyone's time.

[aggiesal]

19. When I first saw that original thread ...

the poster only had 9 posts.

I immediately thought TROLL

[Bubzer]

22. That was thought as well.

[noamnety]

21. I keep wondering why

One of the Clintons talks to a room of 80 or so people and the video makes national news, then Bernie talks to 5000+ and I hear nothing.

Reminds me of the Iraq antiwar protests of tens of thousands of people or more getting virtually no coverage, while tea party groups of under a hundred - sometimes closer to a dozen people - got all the air time they could ever want.

[Bubzer]

24. That one's easy... and unfortunate. Follow the money-trail breadcrumbs.

Hillary leaves a money trail everywhere she goes. Naturally, the media gobbles it up like Pac-man on a field full of pellets (might be showing my age here).

There's no money trail following Bernie. In fact, the media knows if he gets elected, they're bound to face additional regulations. So, showcasing Bernie runs counter to their interests.

23. Media found a new word today

ha. which I think means a bit of a disservice to her. Huffingtonpost has her as expecting a total route. um so if Bernie gets anything more than 1 % of the vote does that mean a disaster for Hillary? do these idiots know what that word means?? its more than a landslide. about twice as much . like a rout / route to me is little to no votes for Bernie in SC. I just don't see that happening. So is Huffingtonpost putting her win up so high that anything less is a fail?

sorta like if Bernie gets a good chunk of Super Tuesday think Hillary will continue forward? Course if Hillary wins naturally they think Bernie should drop out. Eh he's a tough cookie. Downtime to him is relaxing at the lake. Downtime to hillary is relaxing betting on losers.

25. Who let Bernie outta the cave? This is trully Hillar-ious..

[liberalnarb]

26. WHAT?????????????????????????????

[pangaia]

27. I almost never watch TV but---

COPY of my recent post on another thread....

I was working out at the local YMCA today, 45 minutes doing aerobics for starters, and 45 consecutive minutes of CNN was ALL this asshole (Trump).. FREE ADVERTISING ! . It is ALWAYS like that. 4 days a week I go.. 5 TVs on the walls.. One ALWAYS tuned to CNN. (silent, of course) If not him, them some other republican shit bag, or Hillary's latest polls, or whatever,, , nothing, zero, nada about anything thought-provoking.

If this is the crap people use to learn anything, no wonder the US population has shit for brains.
