M$Greedia discussing Democratic party candidates as if they have no chance against this con man who violates both the Constitution and the rule of law. It is their responsibility to call out this pathological liar, racist, ignorant, woman hating, crooked, vindictive, incompetent cretin.
They should be screaming anyone but this low life and I'm just warming up.
I can't believe the narrative and it's like they've all been given orders to make sure they say president every time they mention his name

We really need to watch this election or it will slip away from us.
GOTV is great but we need to multi-task this election.
Edit: OK, I misread that. I thought it was about McConnell, not MSM.

The Mouth
(3,150 posts)are just as fanatical and ruthless, bullying and completely certain of their righteousness as any 'Bernie Bro', they are just much more subtle and circumspect about it.
Instead of yelling about "Revolution", or hyperventilating about racism or sexism, they simply chant the mantra 'electability' as if Bernie, or Pete, OR Joe or Amy wouldn't wipe the bathroom floor with 45.
It's not about 'electability', it's about maintaining the status quo, not upsetting the apple cart, not scaring Wall Street too much.

(3,150 posts)who is not my first choice, but any attempt to derail him in the name of 'electability' if vile. Let his positions stand or fall, in both primaries and general, on the ISSUES, not on the bullshit of 'electability'.
In other words, I support Pete, but it's on ISSUES, not on the bullshit of "Electability", Disagreeing with Bernie on what should be done and how is OK with me, trying to sink him because of some moronic crap of "Trump will destroy him over 'socialism', should be not only called out, but ridiculed.
It is *ALL* about the ideas.

Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have."
Richard Salent, Former President CBS News
"We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that we choose to deal with."
Richard M. Cohen, Senior Producer of CBS political news
"We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy."
Chris Hedges
"In America, we grew up thinking that the people that we see on the nightly news are journalists. But, there is no journalism happening there, only script reading. That is understood by anyone with a sliver of common sense, and the objectivity to realize that their newsperson is basically an actor."
Charlie Robinson, in his book "The Octopus of Global Control", 2017

Since the Fairness Doctrine was abolished, the media on average has been a both sider stenographer for the conventional wisdom of the "villagers".
Just wait and watch as the media turns against the democrats and begins to chase every shiny think the right pukes out.
