Are Bernie Sanders and Trump Doing This On Purpose? Wow.

You just can't make this up. The first couple of time it may be just a coincidence, but this is getting ridiculous. This is almost like performance art. I am sure there are some folks who will read the stories below and swear that they see no irony or similarity between the two incidents.

I know! They are play acting Star Trek's Mirror Universe!

Bernie Sanders calls out MSNBC over campaign coverage

Bernie Sanders went ballistic at NBC and MSNBC execs ahead of the Democratic debate this week — jabbing one top TV exec repeatedly in the face with his finger and accusing the networks of offensive negative coverage.

Surging Sanders stormed through the walk-through for the Las Vegas debate, singling out one top producer at the end and aggressively sticking his finger in his face. One shocked witness said, “Bernie marched right up to NBC and MSNBC’s head of creative production and began jabbing his finger right in his face, yelling, ‘Your coverage of my campaign is not fair .?.?. Your questions tonight are not going to be fair to me.’ ”

Sanders did not hold back as he continued to rant about MSNBC coverage. According to the witness, “The NBC exec told Sanders he would be treated fairly.”

A separate insider confirmed the confrontation, saying Sanders was so steamed he also sparred with MSNBC boss Phil Griffin outside the green room moments before the debate began. “Sen. Sanders stated, ‘Phil, your network has not been playing a fair role in this campaign. I am upset. Is anything going to change? .?.?. I hope you will do better.’ ”

Trump called head of Fox News to complain about coverage: report

President Trump complained about coverage of himself to Fox News Chief Executive Suzanne Scott in a phone call late this summer, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Three people with knowledge of the call told the Times that Trump said on the call that Fox News was not covering him fairly.

Scott reportedly urged Trump to sit for an interview with Bret Baier, the channel’s chief political anchor.

Trump has ramped up his criticism of the network in the last few months, including criticizing anchor Shepard Smith, who resigned from Fox News this week.

6. You Got Me Pegged. The Star Trek Mirror Universe Shout Out Was Too Much?

Yes, I do think that Bernie Sanders does disturbing amount of things that remind me of Trump. Also, yes, if I can convince more folks to appreciate the Star Trek universe for the American cultural masterpiece that it is, then I have done my job.
