(131,159 posts)It appears that he was bumped today from scarboro by trump, and will be on tomorrow. Rachel said recently he'll probably appear on her show 'soon.' I don't watch others but PBS.

(11,197 posts)from covering Bernie, it's Bernie's positions on the issues that they most desire to keep under wraps. They hope that media neglect will be sufficient to quell public enthusiasm for Bernie, and to effectively end his campaign. It's all carefully planned and scripted I'm sure. It isn't the polling though, as I don't think any numbers will be high enough for them to change their plan of attack.

(2,069 posts)That's the mainstream corporate media's main strategy regarding Bernie Sanders, IMO. And when he can't be ignored, then plan B is to paint his positions as being too radical or extreme - which could not be further from the truth; they're just way outside of what the corporate elite wants. And thirdly - and this might not be as subliminal or unintentional as David Pakman believes - to only discuss Bernie in relation to Hillary, hoping that this might lock Bernie into a second place position in relation to the candidate that the corporate powers that be want.

Pffft, Hillary is declared the 'winner', and on we go... nothing else to see here, viewers.
They did it in 2004 to give us John Kerry, and in 2008 to boost Hillary's flagging numbers during the early primaries.

(1,648 posts)The Corporate Media is scared snotless and is doing everything they can to heavily discount Bernie. There is no coincidence here, they are doing exactly as they have planned to shut our man Bernie up...is it working? Maybe a little, but the public is seeing through this haze of baloney. Go Bernie!
