Well Bernie is going to be on Rachael Maddow's show in a few minutes.

[upaloopa]

I hear the Bernie folks don't watch Rachael any more.

Damn media blackout anyway!

[bkkyosemite]

1. Rachael was not so nice to Bernie last night. I will watch and then I'm sure I won't

like that she will continue her quest from last night.

[floriduck]

2. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Someone send me the Cliff Notes.

[Skwmom]

3. When is Bernie coming on. It is hard to watch Ms. Selective Outrage.

[Lizzie Poppet]

4. Bernie: bravely entering the enemy camp!

Not sure what he expects to accomplish there, but perhaps she'll remember that she used to be a liberal (and an objective journalist).

[Skwmom]

5. God is she ever melodramatic.

[Skwmom]

8. Oh, I am sure there is a reason she is asking this question (about the SC nominee).

[Samantha]

6. I have broken my MSNBC boycott to watch this

She just said he is coming on next.

Sam

[NCTraveler]

14. Pretty bold statement....

When you consider a solid progressive the enemy.

[Lizzie Poppet]

17. Once a progressive, sure.

[NCTraveler]

20. Not even sure what you mean.

Not going to watch the video but I'm happy she endorsed Clinton.

[Lizzie Poppet]

24. $7 million/year salary, $20 million net worth.

Rachel Maddow is a 0.1%'er these days...and kinda acts like it.

The song is just for fun...

[NCTraveler]

26. Sanders has support from tons of high net worth individuals.

You are saying they aren't progressives? I don't grasp the logic in your point.

[warrprayer]

30. Thanks!

I've sent him $125 dollars so far!

[NCTraveler]

58. What does that have to do with anything?

My funds are more limited than that. Guess I won this round of progressive showdown. Your logic escapes me.

[warrprayer]

62. ...

[NCTraveler]

68. Non sequitur. Nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

34. Huh?

Why on earth would I say that about a Sanders supporter? That makes no sense...

But back to the actual point: it's the enemy camp because Maddow has been all-in for Hillary this cycle. I should have thought that was the obvious interpretation of my usage of "enemy." Apologies* if that wasn't clear.

* And I mean that: you're one of the minority of Hillary supporters I've encountered over the last few days who hasn't been a complete and utter douchenozzle. I'm trying my best to be properly selective in my snark.

[NCTraveler]

60. You made it about income.

In one shot you removed Silverman and KM from the progressive pool. I simply don't get that part of your argument. I view Maddow as a progressive. I believe most do.

With my extreme dislike of the media I would be more succeptable as to who writes her check. Even then I believe she backs up her progressive credential each night. Not many of them left on the larger networks.

[Lizzie Poppet]

61. Sure...but I made no generalized statement about wealthy people.

Only about Maddow. My statement about money changing her can't be validly interpreted to extend to anyone else. That's why your extrapolation was a bit confusing. It simply doesn't follow.

[NuclearDem]

25. Rachel Maddow is the enemy?

[hrmjustin]

35. Rachel is the enemy? Good God some of you Bernie people really throw people under the bus

if they don't bow down to bernie.

[Lizzie Poppet]

36. Oh, the drama!

if they don't bow down to bernie.

[hrmjustin]

38. Don't like being called out on your balderdash?

[Lizzie Poppet]

43. pot.kettle.black

[hrmjustin]

44. I don't like coffee thank you!

[Samantha]

7. He is on now (eom)

[Skwmom]

9. Hey Rachael. Why don't you have your buddy Clinton on to defend Obama now that she is out of the

South?

Or has she entered the "I want to distance myself from Obama" phase?

[CorporatistNation]

70. Appropo....

Bernie was very much underestimated by Rachel... BIG MISTAKE on Her Part!

Bernie took all that she could give him within her very real limitations of audacity... and THEN Bernie THREW IT RIGHT BACK AT RACHEL AND THE CORPORATIST ESTABLISHMENT THAT DOES NOT WANT TO SEE WHAT IS IN STORE WHEN HILLARY IS FORCED TO ACTUALLY COMPETE ON A MUCH MORE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.

JUST SENT BERNIE ANOTHER... $FIFTY BUCKS!

Bernie ain't going nowhere!

On to Philadelphia where the real reason WHY we have a Primary election... To determine the BEST candidate to dispatch the ... opposition may well take hold. Could be The Race of the century!

[upaloopa]

10. He says he will win NY and take some

of Hillary's super delegates.

No Bernie you are not a Dem remember

[Samantha]

29. What he said was in states where he won by a majority he would ask the

superdelegates for those states to support him. He also said other factors would enter into the decision by the superdelegates as to whom they would support, for example, who was a better candidate to run against Trump and win.

Sam

[upaloopa]

42. He has trashed Dems for years

They aren't going support him because he needs them to beat Hillary

[riversedge]

66. 1+

[rjsquirrel]

57. Pffft

He's gonna lose NY by 40 points easy. Get real.

[Skwmom]

11. Oh isn't Ms. Selective Outrage pleased as punch. Has she ever went after Clinton like that?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

12. Bernie will support Garland now, but would withdraw his name because he's not a Progressive

Now, we turn to the stupid shit about SDs.

[Jitter65]

46. Well that really makes sense? A more progressive candidate would never get confirmed. nt

[giftedgirl77]

51. Logic & reason aren't his strong suit.

Also explains why most people that has worked with him has given the side eye when it comes to endorsements.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

55. I know how you guys think and acquiesce, and it moves the political center further to the right

Obama is playing "grown up." He's not a Progressive, and if he is, he's never had the stomach to fight. He's always taken the high road, not the Progressive road.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

13. Between MI, MO, and IL it's a delegate tie. Interesting

[Skwmom]

15. Why is she asking the Non-Democrat to defend the Democrats. Throughout this process they've

constantly asked him to stand up for Clinton. So they slam him as a Non-Democrat but they sure will use him to have their backs. Amazing how that happens.

[upaloopa]

23. I didn't hear that. He says he is going to win a bunch of the next

states and even though he isn't leading in delegates, super delegates will drop Hillary and go for him at the convention because he can beat Trump

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

16. Media so eager to take away the voice of half Americans

[upaloopa]

18. The media can stop the primaries?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

21. They want him to concede because he can't beat Dixie

[Politicalboi]

52. Not by a long shot

Bigger states are coming. We deserve our vote. Bernie for Ca. We ARE progressive here.

[Skwmom]

19. Thank God I can switch the channel. n/t

[Sky Masterson]

22. Now its time for her and Chris to spend the next 10 minutes tearing him down.

I do not like this version of Rachel.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

27. Rachel astounded that Bernie really wants to win

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

28. Rachel appears to believe unpledged delegates are actually pledged!!

[think]

31. Study Found That ABC World News Tonight Has Devoted 81 Minutes To Trump, One Minute To Sanders

http://mediamatters.org/video/2015/12/20/cnns-brian-stelter-highlights-network-news-bern/207621

And people wonder why Trump is getting all the votes he gets.

But hey! They gave Bernie a minute! That's not a complete blackout....

[Jitter65]

47. And zero minutes to Hillary. nt

[bobbobbins01]

50. No, I believe she got somewhere around 40 minutes.

Not sure where you pulled your number from, but I think its dark in there.

[Frustratedlady]

56. The MSM is a cult and they are "shunning" Bernie, hoping he'll go away.

Shame on them. That makes me all the more determined to help Bernie reach the Oval Office and rub it in their faces.

How did so many get so much power? Sure isn't anything like the days of Walter Cronkite and those of his caliber. Of course, if Cronkite was still reporting, the campaign wouldn't be this filthy and corrupted. He'd shame them like their grandfather, as people didn't tolerate Trump type talk.

[CorporatistNation]

71. Very Nice Segway Toward The Reality Perpetrated By A Corporatist Media!

Well Done!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

32. Rachel trying hard to paint Bernie as a "symbolic" candidate lol Well, what's that say about...

Hillary?

Hmmm... the symbolic candidate making a race out of this, crystal clear why she and the establishment want him to tap out. Quite embarrassing.

[monicaangela]

33. I don't watch MSNBC anymore

And from reading the comments here...I'd say I made a good choice. I hear Dish network is going to drop them. I'll be sure to call them and ask them to do it ASAP.

[Lizzie Poppet]

37. Haven't had a TV in 15+ years.

Yeah, yeah, I know...goddamn Portland hipsters!

And I do actually watch TV...but only Netflix and soccer game streams, really. TV news is a joke; online sources are superior for political news.

[monicaangela]

40. I have TV now, but don't know how much longer I will continue

to waste my money. I'm thinking about going to local and streaming myself. There usually isn't anything worth watching on anyway. I mostly keep my Dish connection for my grandchildren, they like to watch different things when they are over, and it keeps them quiet while I visit with my daughter and son-law. I know, poor excuse for keeping it. As I said before, it won't be much longer. Tired of wasting money.

[IdaBriggs]

49. Tons of kid stuff on Hulu, Netflix and Amazon --

And so much cheaper than Dish! We put up a nice antenna for free local stations and do the streaming thing.

[monicaangela]

53. I have Roku 3

I just haven't hooked it up yet. You just sold me. I believe I will begin my new adventure tomorrow. Thanks for the info IdaBriggs!

[IdaBriggs]

63. Yeah! Free advice: go to Craigslist for someone to install a good

Antenna for the free local stations (good for emergency info) and listen to them as to what works best in your area. I made the mistake of going to Best Buy first and spent more money than I needed to - doh!

[monicaangela]

65. Will do!

Thanks again for the info! I really appreciate it.

[TexasTowelie]

54. Actually it is a contractual disagreement between

Dish Network and NBC Universal. It would include not only MSNBC, but CNBC, NBC, Bravo, SyFy and Telemundo.

I don't watch much TV anymore since I don't have one, but MSNBC is one of the few things that I watch on my computer. The other options that are available require a subscription so I'm happy that I have any news coverage.

[monicaangela]

59. Believe me you're not missing much

I don't watch much news on M$M. I generally get my news on Free Speech TV. I love Democracy Now. I liked Al Jazeera News, but I believe that station will be leaving the air soon also. I'll stick with Democracy Now and other shows on Free Speech TV. Much better news. I also see I can stream that station so I believe I will be removing my service and go to streaming either over computer or through my TV set.

[snowy owl]

67. Few watch them anymore. Those who do Think Maddow best.

I don't get that. I guess the few who do have no ability to discern between fair and unbiased reporting (even commentary) and total bias. If one thing could be said to have taken away our democracy, it would be main stream media.

[monicaangela]

74. I agree wholeheartedly snowy owl

What I have been seeing on MSNBC lately is not what I call journalism, it has been Faux News lite. Politics at every moment with a few breaking news stories every now and then when something dramatic happens in the nation. You know, things like another mass shooting, another killing of an unarmed minority, or something like this. International news, news of what is happening in other nations that can be applied to what is happening here....doesn't happen. I'm through with the M$M. I am constantly searching the web for real news, and am finding it. I continue to think, of Jon Stewart when I wonder about the news. His show talked more in detail about the news than the actual news. That should tell the viewing public something.

[cwydro]

39. I know. I wondered about that.

So many announcements on DU that Bernie supporters no longer like Rachel Maddow.

Lol, one poster even posted that Rachel "used to be cool, but she isn't anymore." The horrors of "uncoolness." LMA0.

[Blue_In_AK]

41. I recorded it, but may not watch.

[Jitter65]

45. Out from under the bus she comes! nt

[monicaangela]

48. what ever happened to this Rachel Maddow?

[me b zola]

72. I stopped watching MSNBC when Keith left

Just before he left I got the distinct feeling that there was dis-ease between him and Rachel. I was left with the impression that she was playing the game to climb the ladder, where as Keith had principles. Rachel's shilling for Hillary has only galvanized those beliefs.

[snowy owl]

64. Smart aleck comments do not diminish the Bern

as most of us who are working for an authentic, productive, and trustworthy Bernie Sanders well know. BTW, you a subscriber to the now infamous NY-raggedy journalism - Times? If that's what you think is good journalism, yes, you would probably appreciate a no-netneutrality -no-Bernie Maddow. I haven't watched her for years. I caught on - like a lot of really smart people -to her raggedy journalism years ago. She sold out a long time ago. Catch up.

[LWolf]

73. I never have watched Rachel Maddow's show.

Because I don't watch talk shows of any sort on tv.

I sometimes see video clips if a guest is someone I have an interest in. It's rare. I actually see more clips during a primary season than in the previous 4 years combined.
