No doubt the tweeter was hoping someone wouldn't actually view the video or miss the part with the interviewer bringing "some people" and conspiracy theory into the mix.

You asked about how did Bernie shoot it down, that tweet is prima facie evidence as to how effective it was, Mr. Rupar didn't even have the guts or integrity to include the entire exchange in his tweet.

Any thoughts?

As for the six corporate media conglomerates that own 90% of all U.S. media television, radio and print.

[Over time the amount of media merging has increased and the number of media outlets has increased. As a result, fewer companies now own more media outlets, increasing the concentration of ownership.[7] In 1983, 90% of US media was controlled by 50 companies; as of 2011, 90% was controlled by just 6 companies and in 2017 the number was 5.[94]

Any thoughts on that or do believe we don't have monpolistic corporate media conglomerates here in the good old U.S.A.?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
