Why Does Mainstream Media Keep Attacking Bernie Sanders as He Wins? [View all] Autumn Feb 2020 OP

Considering he's only won once..... brooklynite Feb 2020 #1

No one said Bernie should be immune from criticism. The article is a criticism of the media Autumn Feb 2020 #13

A clear win that was so close it resulted in a tie of delegates. Delegates is the win/lose krissey Feb 2020 #32

Not the story in the article I posted. He won the popular vote in two back to back states. Autumn Feb 2020 #37

Delegates define a win or loss or tie. krissey Feb 2020 #44

And here I thought that was Trump! PatSeg Feb 2020 #19

they are both too good for this country Fresh_Start Feb 2020 #28

Oh, I agree PatSeg Feb 2020 #53

Meh. Nah, that be the "establishment" dems. KPN Feb 2020 #31

Ah, the lie that Sanders won twice again. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #4

The article is about Bernie's win in NH and the medias coverage of him. Autumn Feb 2020 #15

Nah, it's a lie. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #18

Okay. Got it. I'll accept that if you accept this. KPN Feb 2020 #33

Are you saying the media is totally fair? You might want to Autumn Feb 2020 #34

Walter Cronkite has left the building Donkees Feb 2020 #6

Maybe if Bernie were a Democrat there'd be more enthusiasm for him in the Democratic Primary... forgotmylogin Feb 2020 #7

Exactly this. we can do it Feb 2020 #10

That's a very good statement... Butterflylady Feb 2020 #79

Vermont Resolution sent to DNC Donkees Feb 2020 #11

Fair enough, but in a year with a plethora of great actual Democratic candidates... forgotmylogin Feb 2020 #17

Sanders is considered a Democrat for jury purposes here. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #20

Again, fair enough... forgotmylogin Feb 2020 #26

From the looks of things I think he has just as much, if not more enthusiasm than some of the Autumn Feb 2020 #23

Wel,l that's obviously true here, but so far in the primaries, there's quite a bit of KPN Feb 2020 #36

Huh? What the hell does that even mean? KPN Feb 2020 #71

Sanders sure doesn't have a majority of supporters on DU. ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #72

Who said anything about majority? Why are KPN Feb 2020 #74

Sanders can't even get his most vocal "supporters" to commit to him. ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #75

No, I'm keeping an open mind about Warren. KPN Feb 2020 #81

My state does not have a "primary"... ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #78

"...enthusiasm for Sanders." ahoysrcsm Feb 2020 #76

Cripes! All I heard was Bernie winning Iowa and New Hampshire. LiberalFighter Feb 2020 #8

What "wins"? we can do it Feb 2020 #9

He clearly won the popular vote in both states. Back to back in a crowded field. Autumn Feb 2020 #22

And Buttigieg won the delegates. Delegates count. Popular vote does not count. krissey Feb 2020 #30

So then why don't we have president Clinton, following that logic? we can do it Feb 2020 #46

The article isn't about delages or the EC. It's about media coverage of Bernie's wins in the first Autumn Feb 2020 #54

I didn't skip. Popular vote is irrelevant. we can do it Feb 2020 #59

Media coverage isn't irrelevant but thanks for the kick Autumn Feb 2020 #61

At this stage I think votes count more. dualboy24 Feb 2020 #82

So following your logic, where is president Clinton? we can do it Feb 2020 #83

Chuck Todd is irrelevant imo. But that doesn't mean I excuse him nor the rest of them at BeckyDem Feb 2020 #12

THIS. Warren and Sanders speak the truth. Until we as a nation recognize that, we'll continue KPN Feb 2020 #39

Yep. Its why we fight for no more money in politics. BeckyDem Feb 2020 #48

BS lost Iowa and has fewer delegates than Buttegeig. N/T lapucelle Feb 2020 #14

Bernie Sanders won the popular vote in both states. One clearly and the other with discrepancies Autumn Feb 2020 #16

BS came in second in Iowa and is behind Buttegeig in pledged delegates. lapucelle Feb 2020 #65

Again. Bernie Sanders won the popular vote in both states. Those are the facts from the article. Autumn Feb 2020 #66

It's the delegate count that wins a candidate the nomination, lapucelle Feb 2020 #67

That's what they do. They work for corporate interests and the wealthy. redqueen Feb 2020 #21

Who signed that act?! KPN Feb 2020 #40

Clinton. nt redqueen Feb 2020 #43

Telecom 1996. That was terrible, one of the worst ever. BeckyDem Feb 2020 #49

Yep. It's one of the reasons we are so divided, and one of the reasons we have Trump. redqueen Feb 2020 #50

Its tragic really. There are so many 24 hour news stations and what do they cover? BeckyDem Feb 2020 #52

After that comment there no doubt that Chuck Todd is an asshole. CentralMass Feb 2020 #24

I hear you. Rachel and Laurence are okay on MSNBC, Ari Melber, and a couple of others. But yeah -- KPN Feb 2020 #41

Why Does Bernie Sanders Keep Attacking the Mainstream Media as He Wins? denem Feb 2020 #25

Wins, plural? He won NH and lost the Iowa. His win gave same amount of delegates. krissey Feb 2020 #27

It helps to read the article. He won the popular in both. Nothing about delegates but YMMV. Autumn Feb 2020 #42

Delegates define win, loss, or tie. krissey Feb 2020 #45

Gee, why does the corporate owned media not like Bernie? n/t TDale313 Feb 2020 #29

Media coddled Sanders for five years. I do not know they have issue. But another bridge burned by krissey Feb 2020 #35

I think the media attacks Joe mainstreetonce Feb 2020 #38

Wins? Right now, he is second to Buttigieg in delegates. MineralMan Feb 2020 #47

Talk about the article. It's about winning the popular vote in the first two states, which he did Autumn Feb 2020 #57

How about if I talk about whatever I want? MineralMan Feb 2020 #58

Sure you can. But you don't get to tell me to wait till March to talk about what I want to Autumn Feb 2020 #60

Thanks. I'll do just that. MineralMan Feb 2020 #62

I always do as I please, no doubt about that. nt Autumn Feb 2020 #63

Then, you're just like me in that regard. MineralMan Feb 2020 #64

Poor Bernie liberalmediaaddict Feb 2020 #55

I'm going out on a limb here but I think you didn't read the article? Autumn Feb 2020 #56

They need a close race; thus they always attack treestar Feb 2020 #68

not enough ratings in tearing him down like they can w/ biden(ukraine-FAKE). Pete they blew off. pansypoo53219 Feb 2020 #69

Attacking? RandySF Feb 2020 #77

Corporate media is very afraid of Bernie Farmer-Rick Feb 2020 #80
