Corporate Media outspends Sanders 500 to 1, promoting Clinton and attacking Sanders with lies


You do understand this, don't you? Clinton, like Trump, has gotten hundreds of millions in free campaign ads promoting their candidacy and attacking their opponents (though lately, quite a few are turning on Trump).

just willfully blind to what she stands for, the big money she's beholding to, the wars and regime change she's supported, the trade agreements she thinks are the gold standard, the policies she promotes behind closed doors that are the antithesis of the pablum she feeds the crowds in the Coliseum

Too bad the same can't be said about your discussing green toll.

It would make my day if you decide to announce that you will refuse to vote for Hillary after she wins the nomination.

I want to the join together with the vast majority of the Sanders supporters to beat the Republicans, take back the Senate, and secure the Supreme Court for many years to come, but I think we can manage without a few of the more ____ Sanders fans.

The biggest news outlets have published more negative stories about Hillary Clinton than any other presidential candidate — including Donald Trump — since January 2015, according to a new analysis of hundreds of thousands of online stories published since last year.

Clinton has not only been hammered by the most negative coverage but the media also wrote the smallest proportion of positive stories about her, reports Crimson Hexagon, a social media software analytics company based out of Boston.

I saw story after story about Bernie's YOOGE crowds. I saw story after story about how he had "momentum" coming off his winning streak, completely ignoring the actual delegate math. I saw story after story about that ridiculous protest at the Clooney fundraiser. I saw breathless coverage of Bernie at the Vatican.

You are seeing what you want to see.

accomplished nothing and was not a productive adult, until into 40's? Sanders has not been vetted at all. And your are right, he got a very little taste of that vetting, very little, during Ny.
