Just revised this OP wording to describe what the topics were.

Like others, I think Thom was off on this and dislike it. I also disagree that Bernie lost votes in NY b/c he messed up by calling HC 'unqualified'. She fired first and got the ammo from the set up, shitty NY Daily News interview article they distorted and M$M ran with; Bernie has every right to stand up to her and not kowtow; that Bernie should 'continue running his movement' was a messed up thing to say.

but I just can't stomach all the "don't criticize Hillary" and party unity talk.
The Big Picture is still tolerable though.

Bernie could still see gains in primary states, etc. in response to a reasonable caller. It's hard to keep up, covering bases.

A couple years ago it dawned on me that the reason for the different formats of the two programs is likely more management involvement by RT News in contrast to the freer, more open operation of the FSTV network. JMO.
