Fight the BERNIE Sanders BLACKOUT in the Media through Facebook:

[appalachiablue]

Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign is drawing enormous crowds by the thousands at events all summer long, for three months in many states yet the corporate owned mainstream media (M$M) is neglecting his successful campaign.
~ Please spread the word and add your voice to Facebook to change this, it's wrong. Thanks and Feel the Bern!

*FACEBOOK, FIGHT THE BERNIE SANDERS BLACKOUT

1. I wish I could do FB. I tried but it gave me mental

indigestion and I had to make my account inactive. However, for those who can do it, it's an excellent idea so I will give this a rec.

[appalachiablue]

10. Facebook or whatever works is great, the Block on Bernie has to end!

STOP THE IDIOCRACY and WALL TO WALL *TRUMP COVERAGE!

! SANDERSTORM IS HERE! GO BERNIE 2016!

[retrowire]

2. i dislike social media

but I'll stick to forums and word of mouth all the way!

go bernie!!!

[appalachiablue]

6. Any way that works to communicate Bernie's message works!

SUMMER OF SANDERS! Bernie 2016 for President!

[ruffburr]

3. I started-

A Facebook account for one reason, To Support Bernie Sanders for president, when it's done I'll delete it and go on without Facebook

[appalachiablue]

5. Good for you, not a social media person either but might join FB for Bernie's campaign.

[HFRN]

4. they didnt like Ross Perot, either

anyone who tells the truth about the trade deals, get 'The Treatment' from the media

[appalachiablue]

9. Righto, don't get near big Trade Deals like TPP or Big Money $$! That's a main reason

Ed Schultz was just let go from MSNBC, too much about TPP, labor, Bernie and other populist issues. *Ed still does a radio program online, wegoted.com, btw. Go Bernie 2016!

WALL TO WALL *TRUMP* COVERAGE HAS TO END!

7. I'm not really a Facebook person either but I have an account...

I use it for other things.

In any case this whole blackout starting me wondering. So I went to all the various places I frequent and looked for articles about bernie...so far NOTHING! Seriously, nothing about Bernie and these are websites...nothing on Salon, Daily Kos, Truthout, Truthdig has something, Mother Jones...nada.

This blackout may include the internet, am I wrong?

[olddots]

8. "social media " is really helping

The generation gap has closed along with other gaps in participation.Facebook isn't for me but it is actually helping to get people aware of Bernie Sanders .

[appalachiablue]

12. What we're seeing about Social Media is great! However Bernie's message is communicated

effectively works fine. Go Bernie 2016!




The consolidated 6 Big Banks that are TBTF- Too Big to Fail, have to be Broken Up as Bernie, Warren and others say.

BIG MEDIA is also now consolidated into a few Major, Consolidated Media Corporations-
COMCAST (NBC), VIACOM (CBS), DISNEY (ABC) and NEWS CORP (FOX)
And these Media Conglomerates control 90% of all the news we consume in newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Over 100 Independent, smaller news media companies that were active 10-20 years ago are now gone.

~ BIG MEDIA HAS TO BE BROKEN UP!! End the WALL TO WALL TRUMP COVERAGE!

Mainstream corporate Media (M$M) Consolidation by the Right- since Reagan stopped enforcing the Fairness Doctrine for the airways and The Sherman Anti-Trust (1890) anti monopoly Act.
The 1996 TELECOMM ACT under Clinton also deregulated and essentially privatized the Media, lifting rules that limited media ownership by monopolies, contributed to the stifling of open, fair and progressive news in the media.

[JDPriestly]

15. It is horrible when Republicans refuse to understand the damage that too big to fail banks do

and too big to accommodate diversity corporations, especially media corporations do.

But when a self-described Democrat does what Clinton did when he signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the 1996 Telecomm Act, it is just downright disgusting.

The 1996 TELECOMM ACT under Clinton also deregulated and essentially privatized the Media, lifting rules that limited media ownership by monopolies, contributed to the stifling of open, fair and progressive news in the media.

Thanks for your post.

[appalachiablue]

19. For sure. US corpo media now is an embarrassment, even Europe still has fairly open media.

That's why I read alternative online news and publications like the UK Guardian, and any news channels we can get on Dish TV- the Free Speech TV Channel with Thom Hartmann, Amy Goodman's 'Democracy Now!' program, Mike Papantonio's 'Ring of Fire' and other programs. Also through Dish or Direct we view some BBC, RT News (Russia Today), France 24, Deutsche Welle (German World), Al Jazeera and other broadcast news programs.

11. I don't watch TV so I don't know.

But not at all surprised by it.

But even here Trump is on the front page every day...He is the red herring of the internet as well at the MSM.

[appalachiablue]

13. End the WALL TO WALL *TRUMP COVERAGE!

Cable TV is losing viewers, they know it and it's their fault from price gouging, poor news reporting and declined programming!

*LUV IT! FEEL THE BERN! NEW one here in the BSG-

[glinda]

14. Does this compete with his actual website and might confuse people?

[appalachiablue]

20. Hope not Glinda, how do you mean? I'm not a FB user & have only checked out both briefly.

[smokey nj]

24. No, it doesn't compete. It's a way for supporters to share articles and information about

Bernie's campaign.

[global1]

16. I Can't Stress The Importance Of Getting This Message Out To The American People....

they need to know that corporate media in all forms - cable news, newspapers, internet sites, etc are participating in this blackout and not letting The American People learn about the one candidate that is totally behind them, is sincere with his beliefs and is taking on 'the powers that be'.

When The American People realize that they are purposely being shut out of information that they really need to know and how the media is accomplishing that - they will see the light and join the Revolution.

Feel The Bern!!!!!!

[Milliesmom]

17. Cancel your Cable,that will get their attention

One month blackout from the masses that support Bernie, or turn them off and do not watch if your locked in, I canceled mine months ago. If you cancel, tell them why, e-mail the networks and give them hell.

Go Bernie!!!

I'm telling you if we do not stand up and fight for Bernie and he loses we do to, it's allover, nothing will change it will only get worse. I've been here for 74 years now and have only seen it getting worse not better.

[appalachiablue]

26. Absolutely, cancel subscriptions for a month if news media don't change. They've already

blocked Americans from 3 months of Headline, Front Page news worthy campaign events and issues that Bernie is championing.

This BERNIE BLACKOUT is anti-democratic and anti-American. TRUMP, 24/7 Non Stop Idiocracy Has to End!

Take to the Twitterverse, Facebook and social media outlets! (Does M$M really want to be left in the dust?).

~ GO BERNIE 2016! FEEL THE BERN! FIRED UP! SUMMER OF SANDERS!

[markmyword]

18. CALLED MSM!!!

Just called the news room of Chicago NBC news and asked if they've been covering Bernies rallies?
LA 27,000, Seattle and several other rallies totaling 100,000 people!
They said they did put in on at 4:00 p.m. He thinks! So I said no ones watching at that time, you should put it on at 5:00, and /or 10:00 p.m. When people are watching.

If we start calling the news rooms of the T.V. Stations AND the editorial departments of the newspapers ASKING for coverage, demanding it, WE THE PEOPLE who ARE a powerful force will be heard!

Call your local T.V. And newspapers asking where's the coverage for BERNIE?

Bernies about the ISSUES that matter to US 99%!

[appalachiablue]

22. Excellent! Agree, contact your local TV stations and newpapers to DEMAND COVERAGE

of BERNIE SANDERS outstanding campaign events and message! Or tell them you will cancel your subscription. This BERNIE BLACKOUT is Undemocratic and Anti-American!

The M$M has dismissed 3 months of spectacular Bernie event coverage and news in favor of recent 24/7, nonstop TRUMP Idiocacy!

This has to end!

Summer of Sanderstorm and Feel the Bern!

[yuiyoshida]

21. Does Twitter have

a similar thing? I won't do Facebook, ever.

[appalachiablue]

25. It would be terrific if Twitter picked this up! Blocking Bernie is undemocratic & anti-American!

The M$M has lost three months of Bernie's powerful campaign and message on issues of interest to the American people.
There was some early coverage of Bernie's events in July, but then the networks and insider pundits circulated the ridiculous, immature meme that 'Bernie's just a weekend or summer 'fling'- like a quickie relationship but not the 'real deal'.
This I noticed particularly on MSNBC with Chris Matthews and Joe Scar of 'Morning Joe'. But the joke is on the media.
Like Ed Schultz, recently let go from MSNBC knew, covering Sanders is critically important to the majority of Americans.
Bernie's events and campaign message are FRONT PAGE and HEADLINE WORTHY, not only to be reported through bloggers and afterthought minimal coverage!

Contact local networks and newspapers and tell them if they don't change, you'll drop your subscription.

~ END THE BERNIE MEDIA BLACKOUT!

~ STOP WALL TO WALL, 24/7 *TRUMP IDIOCRACY!

~ Bernie's PORTLAND, Oregon Event, 28,000 PEOPLE- But Not 'News Worthy' for MSM Headlines? But Donald TRUMP IS?

23. Bernie finally got a front page article in the Los Angeles Times...

"Why a huge Los Angeles crowd turned out for Bernie Sanders"

27. Hey you!

So did you go yesterday?

I am ashamed to say I laid on the bed like a slug last night and watched the stream with the a/c running.

If he comes back...we should indeed get a carpool or caravan to attend.

[C Moon]

30. I didn't go, no. I too watched it streaming.

It was awesome, just the same—AC is a keyword for me, as well.

[SoapBox]

28. It won't take much to light a fire for this page...

And I don't think (hope) people will be confused.

Go Team Bernie!

[artislife]

29. Bernie started popping up in my FB feed about 2 or so months ago

Last year I saw a lot of Ready for Hillary posts and I would just get sad.

Then I saw a post here and there about Bernie with his quotes. I haven't seen any Hillary posts, lots of Bernies from surprising sources, too and a Canadian who loves Trump. It may be because he wouldn't have to live under his leadership if Trump makes it.

So I post a lot and am talking to people in Denver about Bernie.
