(50,130 posts)Early, when Sanders was projected to be the winner, he looked surly. Then confused. Not until the end did he acknowledge the above.

(5,128 posts)Wish it were not so but will never get over how he fawned and gushed over the"Mission Accomplished " moment and how Presidential Bush looked in his "Flight Suit".
Asshole forever!
Also he was most responsible for Phil Donahue's demise.
FU Tweety! Please just retire!

(3,687 posts)MSNBC Suspend Chris Matthews or Give Bernie Equal Time
MSNBC should suspend Chris Matthews, host of Hardball, because of his constant shilling for Hillary Clinton. In every episode of Hardball, in every "exclusive" interview with Clinton, he gives her endless time to make her case, repeats her talking points, gives her softball questions, denigrates Bernie Sanders and his people powered movement and reinforces the narrative that she will be the Democratic nominee. Matthews should be removed from the air for the duration of the campaign or he should be required to give Bernie equal time.
Maybe you will want to sign?
in_cog_ni_to
(41,600 posts)with almost 5,000 signatures and about the article floating around about his wife's congressional campaign receiving large donations from big Clinton donors. I said he should be removed from MSNBC for CONFLICT OF INTEREST. I also told him he needed to stop attacking Bernie and stop shilling for Hillary.
I know for a fact he knows about the petition!
PEACE
LOVE

There is a tremendous grass roots organization here working in concert with the Official Bernie Campaign. Don't write Nevada off yet!!!

Jarqui
(10,496 posts)Whether they individually adjust their practices remains to be seen. There's no doubt Bernie's mainstream media coverage will improve. They like ratings and saw how enthusiastic Bernie's supporters were.
Bernie needs it because he spent 9 months largely on Iowa and New Hampshire. Over the next month or two, this thing could be decided. So he needs mainstream media help to reach all these other states that quickly.
Dretownblues
(253 posts)The fact that he has no idea what a wall st. Speculation tax is? If someone with this big of a platform doesn't bother to find out about candidates they are reporting on they should resign.
grasswire
(50,130 posts)....for a longtime worker in politics, it's shocking at times.
Dretownblues
(253 posts)Often for this exact reason, but this seemed extremely unprofessional even for the MSM. Close to Don Lemon level of unprofessional.

PatrynXX
(5,668 posts)everything Hillary is all about her. see the ads all the time that say I wanna stand with HER .. um what about US. Bernie is winning because he's built it around the people voting and rooting for him. there is the secondary issue about Black Lives Matter, he treated them far better than Hillary did yet many still root for her or Donald. Frankly I can't understand after she blasted them in 2008 why trust her again. Donald , many just love him and don't believe all the BS he spews even though much if it is irresponsible
ecstatic
(34,453 posts)And get his wife elected?
The moral of this story is, let's not create conspiracies where none exist. Talking heads are just that--talking heads.
