29. Bernie doesn't need the Corporate Media, last thing any non-Corporate candidate needs. Yesterday
Wed May 27, 2015, 01:39 AM
May 2015

Bernie's supporters reached nearly 6 million people in ONE HOUR on Twitter. They'll be doing that every day until every home in America knows who he is and what he stands for.

The MSM isn't important anymore. They sold out and their audiences left. More people saw Bernie's name in one hour on twitter than watch MSM news for more than a week.

OWS, the Egyptian revolution that toppled Mubarak, among other big movements, were all done on Social Media. Most people now get their news online.

The internet is on fire with news of Bernie. Each day more people are learning about him, with hundreds of thousands of supporters out there acting as their OWN media, and much more effectively.

Sick to death of Corporate media pundits who are so out of touch with what is going on outside the Corporate bubble, they are still talking about 'dragging Hillary to the Left' showing they don't even KNOW how people reacted to that most ridiculous claim. And they all say the same things, like a script they're reading.

Meantime FB, Reddit, Twitter, Utube, and a myriad of other Social Media sites are non-stop 'Bernie'. He trended in the top ten trends today, amazing really.

Hillary otoh, may need to talk to the media since her supporters are way more status quo and do watch the MSM for news.
