CNN now in Full Swiftboating Mode -- Yelling at Sanders Supporters

[GreatGazoo]

repeating lies, etc

[retrowire]

1. Fuck em. nt

[silvershadow]

2. We need to remember, CNN is not "news". Not in the traditional sense. nt

3. This Will Not End Well For The Establishment - The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn

4. Change in Strategy

On CBS this morning they had Claire McCaskill on to discuss Nevada. Hopefully they will have video of it soon. I would anticipate after watching McCaskill this morning that the memo to start reining in people like the ones in this video will begin. McCaskill made clear that Hillary NEEDS Sanders supporters. Looks like they might finally be getting a clue. We shall see.

5. I didn't understand their strategy about hyping the Nevada sham as a wedge against Sanders

because it cuts against the WHOLE Democratic Party.

7. Dumb strategy

I agree. It was just dumb to do what they've done. As I said last night - they were following their authoritarian instincts instead of their political instincts. After watching McCaskill this morning it looks like they might be trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

8. About 3 weeks back we got this

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-04-27/clinton-s-next-campaign-is-bringing-sanders-voters-into-her-coalition

Not sure what changed. Cenk and TYT were speculating about Biden coming in to replace Hillary if she goes down. To do THAT they would need to really beat down Sanders supporters and we are seeing that now (?)

11. Possible

Yes, that is a possibility that I've read about. By the way a glowing piece on Biden was also run on CBS this morning.

One thing is clear we are being manipulated right now. Only time will tell whether the manipulation also extends to manipulating the Hillary supporters as well.

[GreatGazoo]

13. Hadn't really thought about how do they get Hillary supporters to swallow the Biden substitution

They have been keeping expectations low on the Sanders' side but telling Hillary supporters that she is inevitable.

Probably they just go with 'Biden will beat Trump' and throw Elizabeth Warren in as VP but I still think that is not satisfying for those who want the first female president now.

14. Demonizing Bernie & His Supporters

will help. They will then be given the choice - Bernie or Biden. Which one do you think they will choose? Um hmmm.

[GreatGazoo]

17. yes but it loses the whole woman president thing which seems to be a big driver of her support

Could be interesting.

I have always taken Biden's candidacy as a sign that those on the inside are hedging their Clinton bet for an unnamed reason. Either they know something about Hillary that most of us don't or they are just making sure that Sanders never, under any circumstances, gets the nomination.

19. I agree

it will be interesting if nothing else.

20. They did it in hopes of effecting the primary in California.

That's why Boxer was there trolling Sanders supporters while pretending to be scared for her life.

[GreatGazoo]

22. that fits

[disillusioned73]

6. K&R..

Great breakdown of Boxers faux fear... typical biased politician lying through her teeth..

[truebluegreen]

9. The Gatekeepers are busily defending the status quo. nt

[RoccoR5955]

10. CNN = Clinton News Network. n/t

12. Can I say this.....

Ashleigh Banfield is a disgusting News Reader whose "show" is not work whatever the bottom of my gym shoes after walking though a pile of mud, would be worth.

15. She was dreadful

her partisan Hillary hat was on full display. At least if she's going to be in the camp she should have the decency to admit it instead of pretending to be neutral. I'd at least have some respect for her if she did that.

[ViseGrip]

16. CNN is in BIG trouble with their 'brand'...due to misleading violence story.

Editor of NPR set it straight this morning. Bernie should sue CNN for harm.

18. "Feared for my life"?

B. Boxer says she feared for her life, I think I heard this before, though that time it was Hillary who "feared" for her life from "snipers" when she landed in Bosnia. I like B. Boxer, but she does support Hillary and appears to be following Hillary's script. Where was B. Boxer, DWS, the DNC, the media, etc., when the Hillary people hijacked Bernie websites and posted not only pornographic material on them, but also child pornography. I don't recall hearing any outcries from them about that. Not only was it shameful & hatefilled, but also illegal, but yet not a peep from these folks about Hillary and her folks supporting this.

21. CNN is no different from Fox now

It is not a news outlet but a propaganda outlet for the one percent. Let's call CNN's coverage of the Nevada what it is: a pack of lies that could have been scripted by David Brock and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
