Silly question. Of course he won the debate. How can anyone in their right mind think otherwise?

but the media is ignoring the polls that show Bernie won by a wide margin. I have not seen a single poll that shows Hillary winning. This is a case of the M$M ignoring The People, the voting public, and declaring their chosen candidate the winner.

I find this really disturbing. The function of the media is (should be) to report what honestly happens, not manufacture events. I wouldn't be so concerned if a few sites declared HRH the winner, but this deception is pervasive.

We know Bernie won, but to the millions who didn't watch and rely on the media to accurately report the outcome, Hillary knocked it out of the ballpark.

Make no mistake, this is a big deal. A massive lie is being perpetuated virtually unchecked.

TW is the 2nd or 3rd largest media Corp in the world, Comcast is #1.

Did you think these two media mega-giants would support a candidate who is painting a political bulls-eye on the .1%???

They own the "news" and therefore the message. But this ownership of the media is very dangerous.

None of the corporate media cares what you want...only what they can make you think.
