Why do you hate America?

because the media has never vetted him, he hasn't bothered to reveal his tax returns, the media has given him a free pass and the GOP is giving him a wide berth in the hopes he can take down Hillary. Of course, if he does take down Hillary, the GOP can destroy Bernie vis-a-vis the mainstream in 30 seconds.

Hillary is +3 over Trump right now. Bernie is +15 over Trump. Whoever runs against Trump will be attacked. That would have to be one helluva an attack to drive Bernies numbers as low as hers are now. And when he attacks her, her numbers go down too. Get real.

Just like Debbie needs her loansharks.

And Hillary needs Goldman Sachs.

Praise Nancy!

I welcome new members to DU but just to spread propaganda?

irresponsible media inflation of his candidacy, constantly encouraging people to believe his chances of winning were far greater than they were. The day the NY Times reported under a small-font heading that the previous day's primary/delegate results meant Bernie now could not win, that he would need more delegates than remained, above that a large-font header trumpeted Bernie's new "surge."

And, of course, Bernie has never been "vetted" by the major media. Quite the contrary. They constantly report how much he is trusted, never pointing out that almost nobody who "trusts" him knows anything about him. Instead, they would be left with a lot to find out about for the first ime in grossly distorted versions via the GOP's character assassination industry if that were to engage.

I swear I don't know where his little fans come from. They aren't Dems. They parrot old neocon attacks on the Clintons. They are paranoid with conspiracy theories.

Sound like right wingers to me.

Both personality types have a great deal more in common with each other than either does with the more mainstream conservatives and liberals supposedly on their "side" of the ideological spectrum.

One of the most alarming things I've read fairly recently is that people can become more extremist just by hanging with extremists and that groups can become more extreme in reaction to other groups. That's caused me to wonder if social media isn't developing whole populations who think "democracy" means the most ruthlessly intolerant side wins. In the U.S., what are our permanent election seasons, two years long every two years doing to us?

Seems fair to me.

Hillary claims to be the "front-runner." Let her disclose her speech videos and transcripts first.

Bernie's tax returns will be boring. He has already declared his financial statements as a member of Congress.

as opposed to filled with juicy tidbits that would tarnish him in the eyes of his supporters... why hasn't Jane (who is paid $80K A MONTH as some sort of campaign adviser - I guess she's as qualified for that as she is for the other well-paid job Bernie got her, disposing of nuclear waste for the State of Vermont) made the time to disclose them?

Worried about that big payoff she got (because her hubby's Bernie) from Burlington College after she and her daughter ran in into the ground?

So there's that

They simply pretend he is “going forward with ads to disqualify and defeat” Hillary Clinton, regardless of how much he refrains from doing so.

It's all about the narrative.

double standard
