http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/bernie-sanders-supporters-protest-outside-cnn-tower-in-los-angeles-for-no-apparent-reason/24348/Even as supporters of Bernie Sanders posted photos and videos of the event on Twitter and social media, it was still unclear just what they were protesting against. Some of the picket signs generically claimed that the media is showing bias against Sanders, a bizarre sentiment considering the extent to which theyve gone to try to pretend he was close or had the momentum even as he was getting blown out in the polls and voting. Others claimed Sanders has been the victim of a media blackout an ironic assertion considering just how much (nearly always positive) airtime Sanders has received on CNN and other television networks.
As has become custom for the loudest supporters of Bernie Sanders, at least some of the protesters insisted (without evidence) that cable news outlets are secretly in the tank for Hillary Clinton. But these claims ring more absurd than ever, particularly considering that CNN and others are continuing to give significant airtime to Sanders despite the fact that hes fallen so far behind in the popular voting and delegate count, hes effectively been eliminated from the race.
Still, now that cable news networks are finally beginning to admit that Sanders isnt going to win, as they try to find a way to gently let down the false hopes they raised for his supporters after they spent many months falsely reporting that he was competitive, his dejected supporters have literally taken to the streets to protest the fact that CNN has begun accurately reporting on the election. Basic math says this was over a long time ago. The number of people assembled on Sunset Boulevard right now, captured on video, suggests that Bernie Sanders supporters either cant do election math or dont care about the facts. photo credit @zodiakkilla | Twitter

They are just there for selfies to post on social media. So shallow.

(44,173 posts)If they can't handle the media's bullshit and condescending tripe (and they have a point, it's real), then they really won't be ready for what Republicans would throw at them in the general election.
Better leave these Republicans to the Clintons, who have just a little more experience in handling them.

(2,897 posts)As a Clinton supporter, I feel obliged to send them a "thank you" note. They've been chasing away votes ever since tried to come for John Lewis in SC. Now that the vet has officially begun, I see they've decided to go into overdrive. I see disappearing slowly isn't their style.

The vetting process is going to reveal just how unsuited he is to hold the presidency.
Thank the stars! Bernie as president would set back the progressive cause for decades.
