Liberal media turns on Sanders

[beastie boy]

As the fallout from last weekend’s Nevada Democratic convention spreads, sharply critical pieces about the White House hopeful and his campaign have appeared in progressive outlets such as Mother Jones, Talking Points Memo and Daily Kos within the past 48 hours.

The Sanders campaign has also taken hits from progressive CNN contributor Sally Kohn, who endorsed the Vermont senator from the stage at a massive rally in New York City just before the Empire State’s April primary.

Kohn wrote an article published Wednesday for Time magazine that was headlined, “I felt the Bern but the Bros are extinguishing the flames.”

The fact that the criticism is coming from left-leaning sources makes it more difficult for Sanders supporters to rebut it.

Just goes to show: not all liberals are Bernie supporters, and not all Bernie supporters are liberals.

I am not concerned about their threats of sitting General Elections out, or voting for Trump. The vast majority of liberals are, or will be out of the Bernie bubble soon.

1. If it's corporate owned, it's anti-Bernie. I can live with that since they're useless to me.

[beastie boy]

2. I didn't say EVERYBODY will be out of the Bernie bubble...

[oberliner]

3. Mother Jones is a reader-supported nonprofit news organization.

It's not corporate owned.

4. Buying the Brockstain.

What will that liberal media think if the FBI report comes out after they get rid of Bernie? Pants will be shat.

[beastie boy]

8. Well, that would depend what's in the report, won't it?

And that would determine whose pants will be shat, won't it?

[dchill]

20. What do you think it will say?

"Sorry, Hillary, we couldn't find anything, please forgive us. You never did anything improper."

Like that? Hell, just the stuff we know about disqualifies her.

[beastie boy]

21. Now you want me to speculate on the hypotheticals?

No thank you, I will leave that to the losers.

[dchill]

22. Not really.

But what do you think hypotheticals are?

5. Liberal media turns on Bernie?

This is news? This started last year?

First the blackout.

Then they couldn't ignore him so they would bring him on the shows. Afterwards the commentary would be incendiary or it would be in the "poor Old Bernie" category

Now it's we want him out and we will do whatever it takes mode.

At no point was the liberal media neutral or on his side.

6. The media is liberal? You actually posted that?

What country are you from?

[beastie boy]

10. DailyKos, TPM, Mother Jones, The Hill...

I am from a country where all of the above are liberal media.

It appears that there is a country somewhere in which only Thom Hartman and Cenk Uygur are the liberal media. I wonder how many liberals are aware of this country's existence.

15. they from begining have been against sanders and for clinton

it makes sense since clinton is no liberal.

[beastie boy]

16. Let me get is straight: are you saying the media are only liberal if they support Bernie?

In this case, you must admit that MSNBC is as liberal as they come!

[beastie boy]

19. the myth of the liberal media is strong with this one.

[grossproffit]

7. What I've learned this primary season. If you're w/ Bernie, you're a paid shill.

[Robbins]

9. liberal media? LOL

There is no liberal media.CNN is clinton news network and MSNBC has been anti-bernie since they fired ed schulz.

keep bushing bernie and supporters.odds of president trump keep going up.

[beastie boy]

12. Trending now:

...What, suddenly every Bernie supporter is praising corporate media?

It is ironic how the responses of Bernie's supporters turn 180 degrees when when liberal media becomes critical of Bernie and corporate media is singing him praises, isn't it?

[Robbins]

13. another false clinton supporters memo

many bernie supporters have long ago called MSM corporate media.For years i have scoffed at those who claim liberal media.

nice try to bash bernie and prop up clinton.

[beastie boy]

14. Ummm... it's Bernie supporters praising the crap out of corporate media!

Oh, the irony!

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. Friedrich Nietzsche
