Tweety Bird does not like Bernie

[tiredtoo]

He was on Deadline Whitehouse this afternoon and gave a lengthy talk on how the American people do not want Bernie.

1. Haven't listened to the guy since the 2008 primary when he had a tingle up his leg and nasty things

things to say about Hillary.

[Princetonian]

2. Well, he did vote for Dubya.

No surprise.

3. And your point is.........?

[crazytown]

4. I would hope the point is discount Matthews' bias.

[dhol82]

5. Ok.

Whatevs.

10. "And your point is.........?" nt

6. Haven't listened to him since

He and Phil Donahue argued over invading Iraq, Tweety was for invading, they fired Donahue. According to Jeopardy Tweety is the 2nd dumbest cable news anchor next to Wolf Blitzer.
Tweety is pretty much always wrong.

7. He's out doing townhalls so has spoken with a lot of people.

He's saying what he's hearing. What he said about Bernie is that people aren't voting in 2020 for ideology. No one's talking ideology. No one is wanting the govt to run the economy or to go back to the days when the old left used to go to colleges and set up tables with brochures. (I think Tweety was referring to the old days when socialists used to try to recruit at colleges?)

It does seem like Bernie's ideology is not something Chris likes. Doesn't mean he doesn't like Bernie, the person. But mainly tweety was relaying what he's hearing from people in these townhalls and events.

It's always good to pay attention when voters speak. Now we have a clue why Biden's ahead. As Tweety said, Biden's not particularly ideological. (and some other things)

Ed Schultz lost his job because of it.

Schultz says his trouble at MSNBC started when he informed his bosses that he planned to cover Bernie Sanders' campaign announcement live from Vermont, and that he would be airing the first, exclusive, cable network interview with the progressive presidential candidate. They objected, and even went so far as to tell Schultz to drop the story.

11. Precisely Go Vols.

14. Ed Schultz lost his job because his show was dreadful.

[Tarheel_Dem]

15. He lost his job because there weren't enough BS fans to keep it alive. n/t

[SouthernProgressive]

16. That's what right wing outlets like TYT and the freebeacon were saying.

Seems it had much more to do with viewers.

9. Serious question: Are there any news shows on MSNBC?

I have watched all of them, and would say the discredited Brian Williams comes closest - for the first maybe 10 minutes of the hour, but then it devolves into opinion.
Ali Velchi (sp?) has some news.
Rachel has some news, but then it breaks down real quick into opinion journalism.
Surely there is enough going on in the world for one show to have one hour of news minus the opinion.

Edit - Steve Kornacki (sp) does news. Needs more air time.

12. Tweety had a great critique of Sanders misappropriating FDR.

And he isn’t buying the socialism, all of which he’s right about.

13. Tweety is a jerk, but he's right about Bernie.

I don't think BS did himself or the Democrats any favors with that embarrassing socialism speech.
