63. 90% of the press conference was focused on his issue

And then he got pissed when they asked him an ISIS question at the end. 70% of the public, according to polling, shows Americans are concerned about ISIS. Should they not ask a presidential candidate about an issue that concerns 70% of the public has?

...his press secretary told the media not to ask about ISIS....????? MADem Dec 2015 #1

What a load of horse shit propaganda. Stormed out? Black van. Cheese Sandwich Dec 2015 #4

The video doesn't show him departing or getting into a van, so that's not really proving MADem Dec 2015 #9

Stormed out? What the fuck does that even mean? Just using those words is propaganda. Cheese Sandwich Dec 2015 #10

That would have happened AFTER your video ends. You need more footage. MADem Dec 2015 #14

It's all bullshit. Somone wanted a hit peice and didnt get it. So their twisting it into one. Bubzer Dec 2015 #92

The video shows him saying "I'll take one more question, and then I think that will be it." Armstead Dec 2015 #24

Where's the rest of the footage? That video is OBVIOUSLY truncated. nt MADem Dec 2015 #57

I think they even applauded him for keeping the focus on their issues. Ed Suspicious Dec 2015 #82

Odd that people would applaud for a "testy" politician. Bubzer Dec 2015 #95

Do you mean the propagandists at ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, NPR, CNN, etc? nt MADem Dec 2015 #133

I mean DU. Ed Suspicious Dec 2015 #138

Yes, and then he acted like that was never said MaggieD Dec 2015 #17

I noticed a lack of rebuttle on your part... even discounting the three sources you dont like. Bubzer Dec 2015 #102

So...you forget that "the press" includes people like Fox and the WSJ? (nt) jeff47 Dec 2015 #29

So, you're saying we need to "pick" which "press" is good and which press is bad? MADem Dec 2015 #38

No, I'm saying we should support journalism. That does not include everyone commonly called jeff47 Dec 2015 #41

Water seeks its own level. Who decides which press is good? MADem Dec 2015 #45

And now you're back to lying about censorship and calling me stupid. jeff47 Dec 2015 #48

Why are you calling me a LIAR? I'm not "lying" about anything. MADem Dec 2015 #53

Quote where I called for censorship. jeff47 Dec 2015 #59

Right here, in post 41. It's obvious that you want to define what "the press" is. MADem Dec 2015 #65

So you decided my explicit statement against "oppressing" proves I want censorship. jeff47 Dec 2015 #68

No, I decided that your explicit statement about who deserves to be a part of this MADem Dec 2015 #71

So you didn't read the post. Even when you quoted it and had your error pointed out to you. jeff47 Dec 2015 #74

Listen to yourself! MADem Dec 2015 #85

Deflect much? jeff47 Dec 2015 #115

Everyone can read this exchange and see just who is doing the deflecting. MADem Dec 2015 #118

Yes it does, and it's an important freedom. Agschmid Dec 2015 #109

Well, he went from attacking "right wing media" yesterday to "media is sacred" today. jeff47 Dec 2015 #116

You don't have to buy what they're selling, but that's a big MADem Dec 2015 #123

Maybe Sanders staff wanted to actually have questions about the subject at hand Armstead Dec 2015 #37

Well, that strategy worked out well for them, didn't it (not)? MADem Dec 2015 #40

I know a little bit about reporters... Armstead Dec 2015 #44

90% of the press conference was focused on his issue MaggieD Dec 2015 #63

Way back when, everyone allowed Ari Fleischer to determine what questions were allowed to be asked MADem Dec 2015 #69

Suppose they'd said... Armstead Dec 2015 #112

If every candidate in the race had been mouthing off about the Yankees, and "The Yankees" MADem Dec 2015 #119

Yeah whatever. Clinton can do no wring and Sanders can do no right, I get it. Armstead Dec 2015 #126

No, you don't get it. The problem here is with STAFF. MADem Dec 2015 #127

Bernie has a temper.. Sancho Dec 2015 #12

And he's answered plenty of questions about it. But the black pastors he was meeting with jeff47 Dec 2015 #15

Then he should have been smarter!!! Sancho Dec 2015 #26

Watch the video. "Testy" is the press spin. (nt) jeff47 Dec 2015 #27

I saw it...I think he's emotional. Actually, he's been that way for years. Sancho Dec 2015 #31

PLUS INFINITY! cascadiance Dec 2015 #108

Bernie's behavior is Bernie's problem--not Clinton's. nt MADem Dec 2015 #42

Bernie's behavior is no body's problem, except those trying to push him off-message. 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #67

It's his problem--his press secretary is an amateur. And it shows. MADem Dec 2015 #120

Snap! That's right. This is how "real pros" do it. My bad. 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #130

Here's the difference--she got her way. Sanders didn't. MADem Dec 2015 #132

Yes, I think otherwise. Hillary roping off the press was a disaster, which even her supporters admit 99th_Monkey Dec 2015 #135

She didn't care, and it didn't kill her. Her focus was on MADem Dec 2015 #140
