What's wrong with Hartmann? Too liberal enough for you? Bellower Jul 2015 #73

nope. But using him as an example of Sanders talking to the press is like... wyldwolf Jul 2015 #75

No, Bernie talks to real people Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #92

All call in shows screen for content wyldwolf Jul 2015 #137

Even if that is true Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #138

It's absolutely true wyldwolf Jul 2015 #139

And not one word on content Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #141

that's what call 'screening' does. Hartmann is just another talk radio host wyldwolf Jul 2015 #142

No Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #143

Yes - from a DUer who couldn't get past Hartmann's screener because of 'content.' wyldwolf Jul 2015 #144

Hartmann himself discussing how his screeners screen content wyldwolf Jul 2015 #145

Just like I said Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #146

Two sources - one Hartmann himself - says he screens for content. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #147

Thanks for confirming what he does Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #148

which contradicts what you said he does. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #149

This rope was for the press Beaverhausen Jul 2015 #23

I did and saw the news Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #27

So you are being deliberately obtuse? Beaverhausen Jul 2015 #35

The rope was used to keep the media away so 'the people' had access to her. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #26

!!! zappaman Jul 2015 #32

what do they use it for? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #28

hey duckhunter, what does the Sanders campaign use rope lines for? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #30

not what Hillary uses a rope for Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #38

It was EXACTLY the same thing. You're not reading the article wyldwolf Jul 2015 #39

And what you just posted is not true Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #58

It is exactly true. Are your really saying a 'rope line' isn't a physical rope?? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #69

the difference is it doesn't inject Republican spin that some DUers are happy to regurgitate. wyldwolf Jul 2015 #43
