Bernie is subjected to continuous negative ads: It's called the corporate media, their hacks and

the lying Clinton surrogates.

When Trump made negative comments about Bernie the news media would play them again, and again, and again, and again,,,,.

When the print corporate media would write an article full of lies the corporate media would restate those lies again and again and again and again....

When the print corporate media lies were debunked the corp media and clinton hacks would still repeat the debunked lies again and again and again.

Bernie has been continually smeared and lied about again and again and again and again and again and again........................................

So stop with the b.s. that Bernie Sanders has never been attacked.

2. Your definition of "attacked" is "didn't say glowing things about him every moment"

Seems par for the course for Bernie folks.

Anyone who doesn't vote for Bernie is just too stupid to know what's best for them, too corrupt to vote 'correctly', or too racist to vote for a jewish guy.

Anyone who says anything less than glowingly positive about Bernie is a corrupt, lying scumbag who has an agenda.

And everything any media outlet says about Bernie that isn't favorable (no matter how true it is), is an "attack ad" and they are just corporate media hacks.

Camp Whatever doesn't let reality get in the way of their talking points, memes, and predispositions. They assume those are equal to the facts that Bernie supporters are discussing. They don't really get the difference.

4. Corporate America would rather have Trump for POTUS than Sanders.

Corporate America favors Hillary Clinton for the next POTUS and would prefer Trump or a corporate Democrat such as Biden over Sanders.

Your perceptions are correct.

Sanders is the least favorite of Trump, Clinton, or some as yet unnamed corporate Democrat replacing Clinton.

Sanders has not had fair access nor fair representation in the MSM.

Issues to smear Sanders have been manufactured.

Recall issue regards Sanders in the 1960s civil rights protest photo, 100% phony came from Clinton campaign.

Violence in Nevada looks to me as a manufactured event for dispersal by media.

And so it goes.

The corporate media reflects the wants of corporate America.

I am not so sure that even Fox doesn't covertly favor Clinton (but I do not watch TV except occasional internet clips)

So we agree.

Sanders would not be able to handle a negative campaign.

10. Why then the need to fabricate issues surrounding the campaigns and against Sanders?

False claim regards civil rights protest photo controversy.

Overtly confusing the narrative regards the trip to Rome.

Staging the recent events in NV where the disruption was initiated and baited and no violence actually occurred.

Sanders draws large crowds and Clinton can't fill a venue with the public (but holds private dinners for wealthy supporters) not made clear in the media.

I think the email thing a red herring in impact but how can anyone call the Clinton as SOS email system regular and legal practice or of benefit to anyone but Clinton?

And so on.

You don't need to waste your time in response.
