The media, owned by corporations that rely upon corporation ad money, do not want to give time to a candidate that would cost their shareholders (to which they have a fiduciary duty to make money for) time on the air. Corporations are not beholden to any journalistic ethics or integrity, they exist only to make money for its investors. Bernie Sanders, through his policies, would cost the corporations that own the MSM as well as the corporations that pay for ads a significant amount of money compared to Clinton. So, that is why they do not talk about Sanders.

Don't you get tired of posting the same nasty comments to every thread?. You might have some impact if your tagline wasn't so... unique.

Did you get a DNC message calling for all media coverage of him to stop?

I was watching MSNBC last night and it was as close to balanced as they have ever been. Don't get me wrong, they did talk about tRump more than anyone but less than usual.

As much as that might piss you off. That is the reality.

But this is silliness to argue. You still want to believe... go for it. I am much more pragmatic, especially in energy used.

If you want to be accurate with your words, you could say that Hillary's lead is nearly insurmountable or that it is highly unlikely that he could catch her. Call her the presumptive nominee even.

But it is not over. Words have meaning.

And if you were truly pragmatic, you would waste your time posting silliness like "it is over" as if you are making a profound point or changing anything. You are not.

Do I believe Bernie will win? No. It's almost certainly not going to happen. Is it over? No. Not until he drops out or Hillary mathematically eliminated him (which won't happen until June 7 at the earliest, if it happens).

Sit back and enjoy the primary as it continues.
