The only member of the MSM to consistently promote Bernie

[deepestblue]

....is Joe Scarborough. The days of bashing Joe in any way shape or form need to be over for real progressives.

IIRC Joe is a libertarian. By the way, libertarians agree with much of Bernie's agenda.

IIRC he is the ONLY MSM host brave enough to say positive things about Bernie, quite obviously against the wishes of the media overlords.

In a word, he has courage.

His colleagues at that network do not possess the same courage in any degree whatsoever.

For example, yesterday he was marveling at Bernie's recent wins, his momentum and his superior advantage vs. Trump as compared to Bernie's democratic opponent. He has done the same throughout the campaign.

Who else in the media establishment is doing these things?

I'll make the answer easy:

NO ONE!!!!!!!!

Here he is yesterday defending Bernie as usual:

Obviously people can dig up republican votes etc. on this guy, but who cares.

If you fall in to the trap of attacking all republicans just because they are republicans, you are SADLY playing in to the precise hand that the oligarchy expects you to play.

We are in 2016, the future of the country is at stake, and I applaud you on this Joe because I can simply not name a single other host in the MSM who has operated entirely without snark when it comes to Bernie Sanders.



(in other words, nearly EVERYONE else in the MSM is repeating the orders that Sanders is detrimental when it comes to the status quo of wars, oligarchy and corporate welfare).

There may be some exceptions for Fox hosts who aren't all pro-Billary Clinton, but it's few and far between. By the way I'm referring in this post to TV hosts only.

1. It used to be Big Ed, which was why Comcast shit-canned him.

Ole dead-intern Joe better watch his back, imho.

2. I know a lot of people here don't like Joe

I don't necessarily "like" him, but this is not the only time he's gone against what the rest of the media is saying. The one thing I have always liked about him is that he will state his opinion even if it is not inline with everyone else, especially the Republicans. Several times he has been on the right side of things while everyone was not and he's usually not afraid to come out and express it. He has also been this way with Bernie the whole time.

3. I'm suspicious of his motives

As a Republican, he may be promoting Bernie because he thinks he's less electable than Hillary, however much the polls show otherwise. But the right thing done for the wrong reasons is still the right thing.

4. It might be because Joe professes to have

a strong faith, or at least he used to always talk about his southern baptist upbringing. A lot of what Bernie says and believes and what he stands for is straight out of the new testament, and is what Jesus taught (and all great religions). It's so ironic that many of the evangelicals have endorsed Trump, when he's the antithesis of that in every way. Interesting times we're in...
