The Media just got serious about stacking the deck against Bernie ? [View all]

A couple weeks ago MSNBC Chris Mathews was talking about Bernie and he addressed him as a Democratic Socialist
gave him praise for raising hell about income equality etc.. He talked about Hillary and her big "Show" on Sat, in Iowa.He ran a couple videos of out takes and my goodness if Hillary would have been there in the studio I believe he would have kissed her feet.
NBC (the Right Wing owned Comcast) actually covered her event.

So instead of all the positive things Mathews had to say a couple weeks earlier about Bernie, he criticized him as some kind of modern day Robin Hood that wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. He didn't say anything about Bernie's college tuition stance or Health Care or the TPP just the Robin Hood theme over and over while praising Hillary over and over, which was unlike his comment a couple weeks ago when he talked as if Hillary was old news.

I have noticed this with the evening liberal hosts (MSNBC) they toned down their positive comments about Bernie.
I wont even get into the other networks because in most cases as far as they are concerned Bernie is still in Vermont.

This is terrible because if our political system has come to this its shameful among other comments I would add but wont.

So MSNBC must have gotten the memo about toning down their comments about Berne and building up Hillary.

Now they are saying Hillary won the social media war over the week-end but again I think that came from "to the right" network.
