Journalism school today: create the narrative, then write a story supporting your thesis.
Disgraceful and disgusting.
Elite media often blur distinctions between right-wing populism and progressive populism as though theres not all that much difference between appealing to xenophobia and racism on the one hand and appealing for social justice and humanistic solidarity on the other.

(90,364 posts)... that's not positive.
Sanders track record of mobilization, even in his own state, needs to be reviewed ... it aint good.

(5,614 posts)who could possibly have thought they would not turn every part of their influence against the Senator?
A person would have to be terminally naive to be surprised at what is going on.
99% of the media works for/is owned by the 1%.
If we win and start the change we think this nation needs EVERY newsman and woman working for the MSM will see their taxes go up. How many do you think like that?

(10,175 posts)coverage for months. Now the press is looking at Bernies proposals and finding flaws. Now the Bernistas don't like the critical scrutiny and cry about how unfair the press is. Better toughen up folks cuz the scrutiny is only going to get worse. Bernie's folks can sure dish it out but they can't take the heat themselves. Life is tough once you break out of the adoring Salon/Huffpo bubble.

(7,719 posts)If Bernie is nominated, the pukes will launch an attack like you have never seen! Its what they do.. Its ALL THEY DO! Its all they have. I'll be fightin tooth and nail for him if he is nominated.....same for Clinton. I don't play these shitty primary games on DU anymore. I won't tear down one of our candidates to make the other look bad. It just gives fodder to the pukes. So, once we have a nominee, I'll return to posting more here. Until then, have fun........I'm out.
