Every MSM outlet covered Bernie's Wall Street plan today, no matter what

[pnwmom]

you might hear elsewhere.

Apparently some people think they'll support his cause by doing a lot of moaning and groaning about the MSM not reporting about Bernie; when the fact is, if they just bothered to go to Google News, they'd find stories aplenty.

Below are listed only the reports of TV stations, but there were many reports in the newspapers, too.

Bernie Sanders delivered a big speech in New York today on Wall Street and the economy – arguably his signature issue – and we’ll have more on his remarks on tonight’s show.

1. Good.

The more people who hear his message, the more who will support him.

[grasswire]

2. cool

thanks for doing that footwork for us.

[pnwmom]

3. You're welcome. I don't know why so many of you don't know how to google. n/t

[questionseverything]

29. your cnn link says.....

Uh-oh!
It could be you, or it could be us, but there's no page here.

[JonLeibowitz]

4. When did the NBC24 Toledo affiliate get promoted to the national organization?

For that matter, is picking up the AP story (automatically?) really the same?

[pnwmom]

5. Why can't you google for yourself?

The National NBC has a story, too.

7. It's easier to blame your leaky roof on the rain.

The Revolution will not be mobilized.

[JonLeibowitz]

10. FYI, I am mobilized and working for Sanders' organization.

If you'll observe, pnwmom cannot find a non-affiliate (i.e. national) NBC article. The only non-Associated Press (i.e. original reporting) story was from NBC New York, where it was a local story. See Post #9. I cannot find an NBC news story either, through googling.

In case you care for the facts here.

[pnwmom]

11. Yeah, let's distract from the real point. Some here are moaning and groaning

about the Wall Street plan getting no media coverage, when I easily found links to coverage in all the MSM outlets, except for one.

[JonLeibowitz]

14. I have no problem with the main point, I just want to keep things strictly factual.

I think a lot of the moaning and groaning was because of a lack of MSM nightly news coverage, which none of these are by the way. Perhaps those videos will be uploaded later. Until then, I reserve judgement on how the MSM treated this story.

edit: I see now ABC nightly news did cover them. No others I am aware of.

[JonLeibowitz]

9. Try again. That is the NY affiliate.

And you'd expect them to cover that as local news btw.

[Hoyt]

6. He's been all over TV, etc., for months, but his supporters feel he is being ignored.

[ChiciB1]

33. Oh My... Hard For Me To Agree With You...

But then I suppose you aren't one of his supporters! Sometimes people have rocks and some have blinders. Not saying YOU do, but just thinking out loud!

[RandySF]

8. In the meantime

The president announced a series of executive actions on guns. N Korea tested a hydrogen bomb and Vanilla ISIS is holed up in a federal building. But of course they all got together and timed it specifically to direct attention from a second place candidate's speech.

[pnwmom]

13. That N. Korea story should come up in the next debate I hope.

I want to hear how ALL the candidates will deal with the threat coming from Korea.

[Agschmid]

25. I don't see it as a very *big* threat.

But I know my view is a bit out of touch here.

[mmonk]

27. And we all know economic collapses and

Wall Street bail outs are secondary issues.

[Fawke Em]

32. And two of those things really don't effect my daily life.

Income inequality does.

[msongs]

12. another prominent politician today had something to do/say more important than campaigning

took up lots of media space too

[Eric J in MN]

15. Those links don't show TV coverage.

An article at the ABC News website doesn't mean a subject was on 'World News Tonight.'

An AP article at the NBC News website doesn't mean they talked about the subject on TV.

A blog post by Steve Benen for 'The Rachel Maddow Show' doesn't mean she talked about the subject on TV.

[pnwmom]

18. The MSNBC mention said it WAS going to be covered on the show that night.

[Punkingal]

16. You spend a lot of time talking about this.

Why is that?

It isn't just Bernie supporters who talk about a media blackout, by the way. Van Jones, on This Week said on sunday there was a media blackout on Bernie.

He is getting much more coverage lately...could that be because the idiots in the media are waking up?

[pnwmom]

17. There was a heavily recced post today, claiming that not a single MSM covered

the story.

Why shouldn't I set the record straight?

[Punkingal]

19. I wasn't saying you shouldn't.

[Skwmom]

20. I watched the shows on Corporate controlled MSNBC last night and there was basically NO coverage

of Bernie Sander's speech. But hey, the continued coverage of the guy in the chair with the gun out in Oregon on the Lawrence O'Donnell show was just riveting.

I wonder if stuff like this is why O'Donnell is so gung ho about raising funds for desks in Africa - he's trying to atone for the role that he as a corporate controlled talking head is playing in destroying this county. Matthews was a particular piece of work last night.

The mind has the infinite capacity to rationalize - never were truer words spoken.

[daybranch]

21. Great point.

K&R

[bvf]

22. "I will reign in Wall Street..."

"Reign"? Really, ABC News? Really?

Grade-school-level errors like this don't inspire much confidence in the quality of their reportage.

Pitiful.

ETA: The CNN link is broken.

[Douglas Carpenter]

24. He does seem to finally be getting a little more coverage now. It's a good thing

Senator Sanders and his supporters spoke up.

[ladjf]

26. This might be a signal that there has been a change of political strategy by MSM. nt

[7wo7rees]

28. Ratings??? n/t

[ChiciB1]

30. FANTASTIC... They Might Be Waking Up To The Fact That

they can NO LONGER ignore him! I may have to start watching some of these MSM stations again!

YIPEE!

[MineralMan]

31. There was an article in this morning's

St. Paul Pioneer Press, too.

[catnhatnh]

34. Msnbc link

Is a Dec 23rd story on restricting payday lenders and postal banking. CNN link is invalid. Other 3 links go to internet stories. MSM coverage means BROADCAST-not post-it notes and internet memos. Nice try though...


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..

[Eric J in MN]

35. The MSNBC article is from yesterday with a photo from Dec 23.

I agree though, that the links don't prove TV coverage.

Steve Benen of "The Rachel Maddow Show" may have expected TV coverage which didn't occur.

[pnwmom]

36. The MSNBC demonstrates that they had scheduled a report on it. And the CNN link

worked when I put it up. All of them did.
