"Someone said" the media is in Hillary's pocket?

[FrenchieCat]

Me think not whatsoever, not even one lil' bit.....

I watched a couple of news programs for a short while today, and they told me all I needed to know
to conclude that "someone said" is out to lunch!

See....
What I learned from our Corporate media in just those few minutes (that I can't ever get back) is:
About her unfavorable numbers - no perspective that Sander voters are all up in those numbers.....for now,
How Sanders' favorables are so much higher than hers, without perspective that Sanders hasn't been attacked about anything by anybody,
About how close Trump and Hillary are in "zee polls" for the General election - no perspective that there is still a primary going on whether I like it or not, and those polls are being affected by those Sander voters who want the polls to turn out as they have.
About how maybe Democratic voters will "change" their mind, and vote Sanders; without any perspective told of the impossibility of Sanders winning anything no matter.....

What I didn't hear from our Corporate media:
About Sanders' missing tax returns that he promised to provide but that we are still waiting for,
About Jane Sanders and her daughter's role in that Vermont University Shut down,
About Sanders FECC filing issues and why there is an issue, and what he's gonna do about it,
About how Sanders CANNOT win, and his campaign is all but broke,
About how Trump is using F*cking racism and free media advertising to gain votes,
and
who exactly set up and will be paying for these "rallies" set up for the old 1968 Democratic National Convention redux in order to make Trump President a la Nixon....is it Broke Sanders, or low life Trump?

That's why I ain't watching no F*cking media....
As these elections are all a great big joke to them.....Cause they are getting their paychecks
and their children's future is all but assured....

and for those who believe the Corporate media is in Hillary's pocket,
well then PIGS DO FLY AND UNICORNS FART RAINBOWS!

3. Glad you enjoyed it....

as my post is probably more accurate than anything pundits are stating on the corporate "lets-make-up-our-own-f*cking-News" Media!

5. And if Hillary was in charge of the media Sanders would not spend every Sunday on

All of the talk shows.

2. Thank you for sharing some facts today. An angel earns its wings

everytime a fact is posted at DU.

When the "news" can "report" on Donald Trump's candidacy with a straight face, and be like "serious",
you know we're in for a lot or hurting!

Love the way they ALWAYS say....conventional wisdom doesn't matter in this election, Trump has confounded all of us....
in otherwords,
We have been so f*cking out of order, this is all that we can say!

6. For me...

..... it is how the media is in Hill's pocket because they never cover BS and DTs rallies....and the wall to wall media coverage Hillary got this weekend at the Trayvon Martin Foundation event.

I also love how all the talking heads push back on Trump's lies. They really shut him down. What courage.

7. SANDERS actually said hillary is evil but less evil than trump. media did NOT make that up nt

[Walk away]

8. Sanders is just a crappy candidate trying to blackmail and bully the Democratic party...

into nominating him for POTUS and it's not going to work. But he is risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who would lose their health insurance on day on of a Trump presidency. He and his followers really don't care about the most at risk Americans. Bernie and his Bros are heartless.

9. The "media" wants a horse race as always.. they try to manipulate everything to make it so.

We know how they did/do it with President Obama and they're doing to same with Hillary. The President started going around and through m$m to alternative media and corpmedia hates him for it.

Thank Goodness Hillary has David Brock's MediaMatters in her corner.. which burnies say we're paid by him because they're jealous.. and we can't be posting because we love our country.

BS can't even beat Hillary.. how the hell could he beat trump when he hasn't even been properly vetted yet and the "media" covers for trump?

Mahalo for pointing this out, Frenchie~

10. hey you forgot that they didn't ask him about foreign money donated to his campaign

[FrenchieCat]

17. They haven't asked sh*t that matters...

[Jitter65]

11. Why did i think you were a Sanders supporter??

With this amount of honesty, you couldn't be.

[FrenchieCat]

16. Flirted so ever briefly till Mid-Jan...

And then read up on Sanders history, life facts, policies proposed and how they might happen.. And said, oh Sh*t...victory for the GOP in the makings!

12. FrenchieCat!!!!

Haven't "seen" you in ages!

How are you!?

[FrenchieCat]

14. Doing great...considering what I wrote!

How are you?

[Mz Pip]

18. Doing well!

Retired and loving it. Busy with travel and art. Life is good.

[FrenchieCat]

20. Great to hear...

Lucky you! Enjoy....! Amazing that it's been 13 years here at DU! Well, not so much anymore...! I don't even read GD or GDP anymore...it's all so sad over there! Oh well...such is life!

[TwilightZone]

13. It's just another excuse.

Anyone with half a brain who has been here for part or all of the last 25 years knows that the media has been hammering Hillary Clinton pretty much non-stop any time she's been in the public eye - and often when she wasn't.

It's just another shortcut for the Sanders supporters. It's easier to dismiss any media report as biased toward Hillary than it is to come up with a counter-argument.

[FrenchieCat]

15. Yes...

There's that!!

[Hekate]

19. Thank you for some straight talk, Frenchie. This thing is making me wonder if ...

.... I'm losing my feeble mind.

[FrenchieCat]

21. Not you...

You're just normal....

22. It reminds me of the many rants about the liberal media after my mother

became addicted to right-wing talk radio in the 90s. Of course since she never actually saw any other media she had no examples to cite, just the mindless religion-like belief. Rush Limbaugh made her feel smart, same way repeating that the media's in the bag for Hillary makes them feel smart, I guess.
