Bernie Sanders went ballistic at NBC and MSNBC execs ahead of the Democratic debate this week — jabbing one top TV exec repeatedly in the face with his finger and accusing the networks of offensive negative coverage.

Surging Sanders stormed through the walk-through for the Las Vegas debate, singling out one top producer at the end and aggressively sticking his finger in his face. One shocked witness said, “Bernie marched right up to NBC and MSNBC’s head of creative production and began jabbing his finger right in his face, yelling, ‘Your coverage of my campaign is not fair .?.?. Your questions tonight are not going to be fair to me.’ ”

Sanders did not hold back as he continued to rant about MSNBC coverage. According to the witness, “The NBC exec told Sanders he would be treated fairly.”

A separate insider confirmed the confrontation, saying Sanders was so steamed he also sparred with MSNBC boss Phil Griffin outside the green room moments before the debate began. “Sen. Sanders stated, ‘Phil, your network has not been playing a fair role in this campaign. I am upset. Is anything going to change? .?.?. I hope you will do better.’ ”

President Trump complained about coverage of himself to Fox News Chief Executive Suzanne Scott in a phone call late this summer, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Three people with knowledge of the call told the Times that Trump said on the call that Fox News was not covering him fairly.

Scott reportedly urged Trump to sit for an interview with Bret Baier, the channel’s chief political anchor.

Trump has ramped up his criticism of the network in the last few months, including criticizing anchor Shepard Smith, who resigned from Fox News this week.

4. MSNBC has been complimentary of Bernie except Chris Matthews.

Apparently ,nobody's allowed to criticize Leftist Trump.

13. This has been my experience on MSNBC and not just Joy or Chris Hayes.

5. My god

The man is always angry it seems. This is very disturbing and not a good look for someone who aspires to be President of the United States. Also, not particularly healthy for a man who just had a heart attack.

I wonder if he is unraveling or is this how he always was.

7. That is what trump does ...

I don't want a democratic contender acting the same way. Very discouraging.

10. Every day Bernie looks and sounds more and more like someone

who simply doesn't like anybody. He sounds like a disgruntled teenager who thinks the whole world is out to get him. He must really be fun at parties.

12. Sounds like the behavior of another wannabe dictator.
