Rachel's excuse for the Hillary infomercial - Bernie wasn't available - ok then what about

Tad Devine? Jeff Weaver? Or even Nina Turner?

Not one person was available to speak for Bernie? Not one person was available to answer the charges thrown against him the night before the nation's first primary?

That's not journalism. That's faux news.

Which brings me to my second question? If Bernie is supposed to win NH and Hillary is not - why was Hillary available? Did she think doing an infomercial instead of meeting with voters was a better idea?

Baffled by the entire thing.

with a robot that sounds like she does a bit.
I remember when she was speaking out against some of the stuff that she is now condoning.

They completely ignore him, even though he's going to kick Clinton's arse today! They just pretend like he doesn't exist! I watched all morning, going between CNN and MSNBC, and both networks barely even mention Bernie. It really is obvious what they're doing!

Thank the GODDESSES for Bernie2016tv which is on now! All day! What a relief.

PEACE
LOVE

when I saw that the night before a primary. It did indeed come off like an infomercial and I frankly question Rachel's judgement in allowing ANY candidate such access at such a crucial time. Beyond that, it should have been both or none, if it was going to happen at all.

Big Eddie was let go, it was because of what she didn't report on more then what she did. I thought it was fairly obvious she was not reporting on issues that should have been right up her alley. I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it.
