The media's new adoration of HILLARY is firing up BERNIE voters even more!!!!!!

It's obvious that both Bernie and Hillary did well in the debate. However Hillary's adoration by the MSM is basically igniting a fire storm with Bernie supporters. This is makeing them work and raise money even harder! Bernie appeals to voters across the political spectrum but Hillary generally appeals to Democrats. There were a lot of people out there watching who had never listened to Bernie speak before. This is going to be very interesting!

They keep harping on the non-scientific polls, so I keep pointing out the things that are scientific (in that they can be easily counted) such as his fundraising, his social media following and buzz, the high rate of Google searches of his name and so forth.

They just keep yelling about polls long after we've moved onto more quantitative results that show Bernie beat Hillary with the people.

The closest I get to seeing anything remotely close to this, is the new meme: "Just because I say internet polls aren't scientific, I am not saying pundits' opinions are...I will rec and high five them but I don't really believe it.

As he knows the media will be hard at work trying to protect those both in the primary and in the general election that serves the 1% campaign donors the best. And that to fight this, he's going to need TONS of money and efforts to counteract that heavy spending that will happen on the other side.

I think it will help when Bernie not only accepts public campaign financing that Obama pushed away in 2008, but actually makes doing that a campaign issue on how we need more funding like that to prevent the bribing of our existing political oligarchy to get the 1% it's way. It will be a big help to go along with the grass roots funding too.

Right now there is a bigger and less fun fish for them to fry.

They know there is only one arrow in the quiver and if "Ogga Booga...SOCIALISM!" doesn't work they have nothing likely to be effective against Sanders

Time Warner Inc owns CNN
Time Warner Inc is Hillary's 7th biggest financial supporter

Cnn's own polls show that 81% of their viewers think Bernie won
Cnn will ot even post the results of their own polls

If this isn't some Orwllian 1984 shit, I don't know what is.
