10. I had hoped Rachael Maddow (or Chris Hayes) on MSNBC might be exceptions

but I guess they "got the memo" when Big Ed was promptly fired for
covering Bernie Sanders honestly & fairly.

Early on, Rachael had some "Wow! Look at these phenomenal crowds and all that
enthusiasm" coverage of Bernie. Now all Rachael can talk about is Whether Carley Forina
gets to debate at the "adults table" in the GOP debates. I swear, she spent 1/2 her show
on this the past 2-3 nights.

Christ Hayes sometimes seem to venture close to giving Bernie a little positive mention,
but it's pathetically oblique and sparse at best.

I think these ^ two were our last best hope of getting ANY M$M coverage, now they've
gone into silent mode with the rest of the M$M pack
