Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumJust watched Chris Hayes --
who did MAYBE 45 seconds on the Nevada convention situation. No background, no in-depth look, simply "Bernie bros got upset that Clinton won and got nasty at the convention" (or words to that effect).
So much for that "liberal media".

(41,182 posts)or others much at all anymore. Just checked in on Chris a while ago to hear him covering the same salacious garbage about the 'wronged by the NYT' Trump swimsuit model making the cable rounds, AND some older nasty 'news' with photos on Trump's remarks about his daughter Ivanka when she was a 16 yr. old girl.
Couldn't help but think, what a waste of talent, but willing to pay Chris very well to present tabloid rubbish. With his background and early promise. And what a polluted, trashy 'news' media we have anymore.

(23,867 posts)We have the money and the votes. So, the msm is starting to look redundant to all but those with glazed over eyes.

(11,785 posts)Pointed out that Clinton won first round--didn't point out the irregularities in Clark County, nor that Bernie had more delegates in the second round.
Said, "apparently not as many Bernie delegates turned up as expected" for the third round--blatant lie, there were 64 Bernie delegates who were turned away because their registrations had been fucked with.
Showed brief video of the convention with the caption "thrown chairs reported" without showing any chairs being thrown or interviewing anyone willing to repeat that falsehood on camera.
Made it sound like Bernie supporters didn't like the rules changes, without mentioning the questionable voice vote or that they adjourned with business still on the floor.
Said that security had to come in, making it sound like they came to suppress a near-riot, when what they were actually doing was making people leave as soon as Lange skedaddled after her fraudulent behavior.
Overall implication that Sanders supporters are sore losers. NO REPORTING AT ALL of the slimy way the convention was conducted.
I used to watch Rachel because I respected her reporting. Now I watch it to see what the approved propaganda du jour is. She just said that Oregon is "supposed to be a close race". WTF?

I have never felt more alienated from the Party or some of our supposed "liberal" icons than now.

(39,451 posts)that, ask for a video.
There are hours and hours of video from Nevada BUT none of chair throwing.
Smells like bullshit to me.
Hell Hath No Fury
(16,327 posts)I think it was on Heavy.com where you could see on the edge of the frame someone pick up a chair after the gaveling incident but they were immediately surrounded by people who stopped them and got the chair down to the floor. That is ALL I saw, in all the footage I watched. Will try to find it and post here.
Found it: second video down at time marker 4.40 -- ONE guy holds up a chair (no throwing) and several Bernie supporters take it from him.

(39,451 posts)never saw anyone throw a chair.
So from what you are telling me, something that coulda happened - didn't. And the msm is reporting it as if it did happen?
I am so sick of this.
Hell Hath No Fury
(16,327 posts)ONE guy lifted a chair in the air -- that was it, no throwing. I put the link to the video in my post above so everyone can see for their selves. Rachel reported gossip as Truth.

(39,451 posts)Trump - 5% trashing democrats she doesn't like, and the rest of the time talking about whatever.
I haven't watched her in months and do not miss her at all.
There are so many other alternatives out there.
