28. "Fair and balanced reporting"?

Tue May 19, 2015, 09:18 AM

May 2015

Unless you run Against the candidate I'm supporting...that is
I haven't really been watching any "news" programming for the past few week...I'll catch a clip of someone saying something sometimes....but last night I decided to see what they're talking abnout...Doom, Gloom, Fear and stuff...and I caught that too...then I switched channels. I'm kinda sick of it. Hayes show looks more like tabloid style "news" now....I recorded his show. It took me less than 6 mins to ff, review interesting (to me) content & delete.
Whats his name on one of the shows....Rich, I think it was....refused to even mention Bernies name when affirming for us all...It's GONNA Be HRC! Wasn't that nice of him?

I think it might work a little like this: MSM is exposing themselves just like the wall street wing...and I'm good with it. More people need to be aware.
Note how they Include ALL GOP hopefuls...and otherwise mention Only Clinton for the Dems. Lining up the field in our minds so we don't think outside the box...our comfort zones. to dare to consider Anything/Anyone else but Following Their Guide They've "scripted" on "our" behalf.
Isn't that nice of them to take All the work out of Thinking, for us?

Frankly I don't care what M$NBC or any of the rest of them do anymore. They're NOT talking about News. They're opining about current events with a bunch of celebrities......from politics, Hollywood, wall street, CEO's, Authors of "stuff" etc....

So, why waste the time, unless one is really interested In someone's opinion (corp views) because News used to Informative and served a purpose For the people...there is nothing to learn from the remnants of what News used to be.

If asked, he would probably say it's because Bernie hasn't declared himself to be a Democrat BeyondGeography May 2015 #7

except that is not what he said. marym625 May 2015 #9

And the party establishment has already accepted him as a candidate in the Democratic Party. Why jwirr May 2015 #63

Ask O'Donnell BeyondGeography May 2015 #82

He is a self declared "democratic socialist" marym625 May 2015 #128

Well he should look at the Front Page of Democrats.org, official website of the Democratic Party Bluenorthwest May 2015 #69

Thank you! marym625 May 2015 #129

I am sure you are correct marym625 May 2015 #29
