When she says something you like, she's a truth teller.

When she sells something you don't like, she's a shill.

self-censoring and a drop of her professional persona may reveal a more honest opinion as opposed to the one she gets paid to present?

Let me guess, you support Clinton? Is it her authenticity or the paid-for persona that you like best?

about Bernie saving Andrea.

You have to watch most of the 5 minute video to get to the actual interview. And you can see in the interview how disoriented and shaken up she was by the incident.

Transcript not provided...anywhere.

dishonest not give credit where it is due. I know they ALL know Bernie is on fire, because he speaks for the people. But they can't SAY that, their job is to try to stop him.

That's why you see all the desperate attacks, attempted smears, see David 'blinded by the money 'Brock eg, who happened to get caught trying PLANT smears in the media expecting to be anonymous.

But a couple of honest journalists didn't think they were obligated not to identify him along with his smear.

So disgusting, that Clinton of all people would align herself with the slime who would flip in a second if he got a better deal from the Right.

Like Dick Morris.

When the truth is told, you can't very well deny it.

But as I said they ALL know what she said is true. That's what makes them so despicable. They lie, deceive etc

The sudden love affair of Hillary supporters with the Corporate Media, speaking of 'when they say something you like they're truth tellers' is simply fascinating.

They lied about who won the debate in the opinion of THEIR OWN VIEWERS. And former Corporate Media haters, suddenly find them credible.

Actually according to polls, the Corp Media is trusted by only 17% of the population.

But she's right he did light a fire that night. Won the debate and raised over $million as a result.

The headlines focused on Bernie rescuing Andrea from the crowd. Most video clips stopped before the interview started.

If you watch the video, the interview starts about halfway through it...

As one of the pundits who obsesses about her emails. She is pushing Sanders because she wants Hillary to lose.

No big deal, but it doesn't hurt to point it out.

No longer are women taken care of by men, deemed unable to cope in life without a man leading them by the hand.

I don't think Bernie was coming to the rescue as much as shining a light on how the media is trivial and doesn't address real issues.

So of course the story is about his rescue of a woman who doesn't need it.

He actually did keep the other lady from injury...she obviously needed help.

and why she blames her team for "not getting it together" on her response.


Some of her advisers counseled Clinton to sit down with a “trusted” reporter one-on-one. (NBC’s Andrea Mitchell was an early suggestion.)
