How will the Clinton shill Media (MSNBC,CNN) cover the elections tonight

If Bernie wins anything?
Will they only show Clinton speaking about the next round of elections?
Or
Will they only cover the Republican side so they can have plausible reasoning to ignore Bernie in their mad rush to prop up Trump and Clinton while ignoring all things Bernie?

policy speech and Maddow gave big segment on all he things his camp was doing to win in AZ last night. I would say msnbc was 'shrilling' for Bernie last night.

he says as a result, while tarnishing any victory his opponent has, by either ignoring it, or engaging in sexist idiocy right after, by asking her to smile and stop shouting?

But if you see that Hillary isn't getting any coverage whatsoever and its wall to wall Bernie then you live in a different world than this one.

it's what they've done each time. They can never simply let him win, and even when he barely ekes out a win by a percentage point all you hear about is his "historic victory" even when he had his rear handed to him in the other contests, and still lost the night by a hundred delegates.

The shill media will prop up their dead man walking for that horserace that's making them money. Were you not paying attention to the past few months since the actual votes started coming in?

Wow! If you are so afraid of him then why are you so angry at the thought of him staying in.
Wont the competition make Clinton a better candidate like it did Obama?
She didn't get out this early when she ran in 08.
If she is just handing Bernie his ass then why worry.

You were already looking for someone to blame other than Bernie if he loses. The media is always a good villian.

I still don't get why the Hillary Cult even care about Bernie since in their eyes he already lost.

was my take on it.

Larry did a not-so-subtle dog whistle to the Hillary crowd. It was certainly NOT helpful to Bernie. Watch it again and see if you agree.

Who have spent 25 years trying to destroy the Clintons is somehow in the tank for Hillary is delusional. The fact is she has the most delegates and the most popular vote so they are now forced to cover her in somewhat positive light. Meanwhile, Bernie is handled with kid gloves by the media. Imagine what the media would do to any other candidate who wrote rape essays in his 30s and didnt have an actual job until they were 40.

So there won't be any win/loss coverage for most of the night. Most of the talk will be about exit polls.

on about them. However, I stopped watching that channel some time ago, so I won't see any of it.

In fact, I'll check the results tomorrow morning.
