(2,348 posts)The treatment of Rachel Maddow has bordered on the absurd. She is clearly one of the few people on mainstream cable news who is unabashedly liberal, and she is being trashed as a corporate shill because she has the audacity to treat both candidates with the same level of respect. The question she asked Bernie about raising money for down-ticket Dems wasn't complicated. There was no other acceptable answer besides, "yes".
Likewise, criticizing her for pointing out the severe 'truth massaging' Devine did regarding their effort in the South isn't evidence the she's trying to torpedo Bernie's campaign. It's another episode that wouldn't have happened if the campaign had given the right answer the first time.
For as relentlessly as Hillary gets pounced on for things she and her campaign say, of which many of the complaints were completely justified, Bernie's supporters shouldn't cry foul when his mistakes are called mistakes.
