6. Peter Daou keeps it real. My god, but the Hillary bashing by M$M (while using kid gloves

with everyone else - especially Trump and Bernie) is spiraling out of hand.

M$M isn't only interested in the horse race. They're interested in getting a Republican in the White House, too. Unfortunately, their preferred Repubs have bowed out already, leaving unpopular candidates like Cruz and Trump, so they need a weak candidate on the Democratic side in order to be defeated - and that weak candidate, clearly, is Bernie.

Being so far behind in both delegate counts and the popular vote, yet getting so much positive coverage seven days a week, tells me this is M$M's way of helping the Republican Party. I don't buy it, not for a single second, that this is just "for ratings". This is a concerted effort to defeat a strong and true Democrat who wants to actually get things done for the American people, and they can't have that. They want a Republican, and a Bernie candidacy is the path toward that.
