2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumGot stuck in front of a tv this morning
CNN was on. 22 times Trump's name was mentioned. Cruz 4 times. Paul Ryan twice. Palin, bush, and Hillary once.
Not one time was the name Sanders said out loud. Not one time in ten minutes about the campaigns.
They are pissing in their pants when it comes to Bernie, they are so afraid of him and us.
That is another good reason to vote for Bernie.
If the oligarchs are scared of him, he is definitely on our side.

(13,685 posts)The media is just plain scared of Bernie and us.
But it makes sense, I guess, from a profit angle. We are going to break them as we broke the lying newspapers by not buying any of their crap.
Only Bernie can lead the way to real change in the media and the media knows it.

(2,427 posts)I used to think NYC was a liberal bastion but I am disappointed to learn about their archaic voter registration laws and the overall voter turnout.

(24,324 posts)It has been 80% trump, 28% shit for brains repubs and 2%...something else....fires, famous deaths, Bernie, plane crashes, hillary......
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)They know we aren't buying their lies. Trump and the republicans are their last hope to keep their business model alive.
All one has to do is see the gullibles that vote for Trump and other republicans to know the intelligence of their market.

(13,877 posts)suggestion that lower vote totals for Bernie are not because he is a bad campaigner with bad ideas. It is strongly due to no MSN coverage. I didn't know it was still going on, as he has been acknowledged and invited to news shows and such.
Hell, they didn't even cover his massive rallies. His charges of Oligarchy are just that...the rich and powerful make the choices for us Peasants.

Even Obama has admitted he didn't know Bernie's positions.
If Bernie had the same amount of coverage as loser Cruz had, Bernie would be ahead by 3 million.
Bernie freaks them out. We sorta see it on DU: the same freak out.
I don't think I have read one substantial criticism of Bernie on DU in months. Just lies and smears about Bernie and his supporters.

So Kill the Messenger is alive and well...hmmm, pun...oh well...stands.
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)Bernie's message is power to the People.
The media killed Gore, too. They tried killing Obama's message, but the party unified because: bush and Iraq invasion.
The media is inflating the Trump balloon. We have got to figure out why, and figure it out fast.

(13,877 posts)He is a bad campaigner and has a message that does not get people to vote for him.

(94,502 posts)Trump is now campaigning against Clinton. Clinton is now campainging against Trump.
Maybe if Sanders wants to prove he's the better candidate, HE could try campaigning against Trump. THAT would be newsworthy. Repeating the same speech over and over isn't riveting news.

(3,089 posts)They will spend at least 5 minutes talking about how Bernie is making it more difficult for Hillary...with glee.

(10,476 posts)Sanders is done. No chance at the nomination, CNN and most everyone else has moved on.

(3,431 posts)I feel sorry for the country, which seems now to be given
the two most unpopular candidates as a "choice".
People still don't know, what the corporocracy will do
to the, especially with the TPP and TTIP.
