The MSM Has Ignored What Should Have Been The Political News Story Of The Day......

[global1]

Last night was epic. The Bernie Sanders campaign made history. A 100,000+ Americans in every state of the union met to organize as a force to elect Bernie President in 2016. An army of foot soldiers was created to knock on doors and tell the Bernie story. That has never been done before in such a unique way by anyone running for office.

If this was pulled off by one of those in the Clown Car or even by Hillary - this would have been the biggest political story of the day. They would have been hailed as a genius or a political guru. We still hear them give accolades to Howard Dean's 50 state strategy.

Well last night was on par with that 50 state strategy and it was pulled off so smoothly using the technologies of out time - without having the backing of monied political sugar daddies like the Koch's or Adelson.

If you think of how far Bernie has come since he announced his candidacy in Vermont - it is an amazing feat.

But because it is Bernie and because he is hitting the 1%, the corporatists and banksters right between the eyes - telling the truth that no one can deny they need to minimize Bernie. So they are not giving him the proper coverage or kudos for this historic political accomplishment

This makes me even more passionate to work hard for Bernie and get him elected. Last night was another step forward in the Bernie revolution campaign. Feel the Bern!!!!!

10. I'm Looking At All The Recommends My Original Post Got And Actually Reread My Post....

I couldn't help but wonder what are the journalists, newspeople and media moguls thinking that maybe read my post as well. I'm sure we have some of them as lurkers here or even perhaps incognito members of DU with an alias.

Are they thinking something like - I realize we ignored that story - but I had to - I have to keep my job - my bosses didn't want me to touch it.

Or are they thinking something completely different? Maybe something like - we'll be kicking ourselves after Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire that we didn't take him more seriously and covered him.

MSM really screwed up in my opinion. When will they join the Revolution?

[daleanime]

30. Join it?

Most will be fighting on the other side until the battle is over.

[global1]

32. I'm Talking About Those That Know Better And Will Defy Their Employers And.....

Tell it like it is.

[questionseverything]

62. to be fair

rachel covered the bernie on line organizational meeting the night it happened and mentioned it the next night too

[staggerleem]

63. To see what happens to corporate media employees who "know better & will defy their bosses" ...

... read this post, from yesterday: Comcast Orders MSNBC To Remove Anti-TPP Hosts.

6 companies control 90% of the media. Under that scenario, divergent opinions simply aren't allowed. Big business has an agenda, and those 6 media companies are among our biggest businesses. They will also be the biggest beneficiaries of the investments that the Kochs will make in Republican candidates, and the Wall Streeters will make in Hillary.

Bernie even scares their other advertisers, like big pharma, big oil, big ag and big EVERYTHING. The "mainstream media" is already bought and paid for, and we cannot depend on them to make decisions regarding what we do & do not "need to know".

[tazkcmo]

75. BINGO!!! n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Bernie has started a movement and the momentum is building. You can sense the Hillary campaign is worried, as indeed they should be.

Go Bernie Go!!

[FreakinDJ]

51. Bernie commands the "Youth Vote"

They are on the internet and at the house parties - the enthusiasm will probably surpass that of the 08 Obama campaign

[appalachiablue]

54. K & R. Millennials are definitely enthused & organizing for Bernie!

[redruddyred]

73. not my house party

tho I may be living in the wrong part of the country

[SoapBox]

3. Grrrr....

CBS Nightly News...what a lame joke they are.

Of course, gotta carry TRump...and the Annointed One.

No mention of Bernie's events...nada.

[Triana]

4. GUESS WHO owns and controls the MSM?

The 1%, the corporatists and banksters.

Nothing proves it more than the fact that they practically ignored yesterday's historic news.

[Scuba]

31. Bingo!

[uhnope]

72. Stop using the term "MSM"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027031267

[Snotcicles]

5. We'll just have to do it without them. nt

[brewens]

6. Is it looking like the Koch's may have to fight both T-Rump and the Democratic party

nominee? Of course now focusing on Hillary but we hope that changes. They pretty much have Bernie on ignore for now but maybe using up a little political capital keeping it that way.

As Hillary dips and Bernie climbs, someone has to give in and start covering it. We may see the Koch's forced to fight a three or four front war, diluting the influence of their money. Throwing money away on their boy Walker, throwing money away fighting T-Rump, attacking Hillary and Bernie too. God it would be awesome if Bernie and T-Rump got the nominations and the Koch bastards wasted a fortune!

[Thespian2]

7. K & R!!!

Bernie's supporters will find a way to counter the millions spent against him...

[Cleita]

8. The organizer of our event said she sent out press releases to every

local media and no one came. This organizer is a known politician here on the Central Coast. I have spoken to another person in the south of the state (CA) and it was the same there. They were ignored by the MSM. I wonder how many people had press at their events? We should compare notes.

[appalachiablue]

12. That's so bad.

[JDPriestly]

18. My response to the MSM that ignores us and our leaders is to ignore it.

I watch clips posted on DU and when I travel, I watch clips, but I do not regularly watch the MSM and I refuse to subscribe either to cable or to newspapers.

The misinformation fed me by the Los Angeles Times, other newspapers and the MSM in general in the build-up to the Iraq War totally turned me of the corporate-controlled media.

The newscasters are just a bunch of fools as far as I am concerned. They are in general too poorly educated to know truth from fiction. They just think and then read and say what they have been taught to believe without questioning it. Even the questions they ask reveal a lack of knowledge of and understanding or the world.

It is interesting to me how many former reporters and new correspondents who covered wars and foreign news no longer recite or believe the MSM assumptions.

The smart ones became independent long ago.

[Duval]

48. The Corporate Powers tell MSM

what to report and what to leave out. Case in point is Comcast telling MSNBC not to talk about the TPP. We
gave up on hearing the truth from the media years ago, during GWB's term. They not only dislike Bernie, they are afraid of him. I like the independent guys, too.

[JDPriestly]

49. So we volunteers need to get organized.

I have a lot of good experience tabling and walking precincts and registering voters as well as watching polls and checking obstructions in the voter registration process. Lots of experience.

I can't wait to get going.

[tazkcmo]

77. I turned it off during Oil War I

Also known as Desert Storm. Like a college bowl game. The Tostitos Desert Storm. The coverage of the build up was like a pre-game show, only weeks long. Dissecting strategies and profiling current rosters of each "team". The call ups of veterans and the speculation about who would be next was akin to the NFL draft and free agency. Meanwhile, my 8 and 6 year old saw this and would aske me, "Dad? Are you going to war?". Bastards. I'll never forgive the MSM for what they put my wife and children through. It's not a freaking GAME.

[Art_from_Ark]

23. I don't know if the local media covered the Bernie event in Fayetteville, Arkansas,

but at least one of the local television stations (40/29) did mention it as an upcoming event on several of their newscasts.

[Cleita]

25. Usually you see them there with the cameras and other things like tags that tell

you they are the press. I go to city council meetings and other such venues occasionally and you often see the press there. They even came to one of our local Democratic Club meeting a couple of months ago because one of the speakers was making the news, but this snub of Bernie has me baffled.

[Art_from_Ark]

27. It looks like KNWA News covered the Fayetteville event

I especially liked this part of their story:

"Very grassroots, very organic, community based neighborhood activities like this activity here, it's a packed house tonight," Tyler Clark, Chairman of the Washington County Democrats said.

"Hundreds turned out to Cannibal and Craft in Fayetteville on Wednesday night.

"To support a viable, non-status quo candidate," Steve Penn a Sanders supporter said.

[appalachiablue]

53. Thanks, that's good to know.

Feel the Bern!

[hopemountain]

76. we grassroots people

must reach out in alternative ways. the msm is not like it used to be when we could send out a press release have at least get a return phone call.

phone trees and short text messages reach the grassroots more effectively - i call or text 5 with the info and ask them to call or text 5 and so on… we can do this!

i was amazed how many home meetings were held in just 2 counties in southern oregon -

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

9. K&R... nt

[chknltl]

11. I'm gonna love it when WE THE PEOPLE bite MSM in the ass for this.

The more they ignore us the more the word gets out that MSM doesn't represent actual news the citizenry is longing to hear. Bernie Sanders is offering real change. 'Business As Usual' is about to get a rude awakening from a citizenry seeking real change.

[sabrina 1]

13. I keep saying this, but he doesn't NEED the Corporate Media. Bernie has the REAL media

TODAY'S media working for him. All they would do is attack him. The longer they ignore him, the better.

You can bet they are watching, they did this with OWS too. They were there with their news vans and helicopters, watching, but didn't cover it, still thinking they had the POWER to influence people.

But OWS organizers had prepared their OWN media. The Corporate Media couldn't understand why and how the movement spread so rapidly across the country when it was only supposed to be in one City, for at the most, two weeks.

They are dinosaurs, no one uses them for news anymore.

When they realized that OWS had some 'secret' way to get the information out to the WORLD, then they decided they needed to start covering them. THAT's when the smears and bias and negative coverage began.

But it was TOO LATE, OWS had already SUCCEEDED in getting their message out without the interference of the Corporate Media.

So let's HOPE they do the same thing with Bernie until we are sure the entire country hears him and gets to know him WITHOUT the biased coverage of the Corporate Media.

[Populist_Prole]

19. Excellent observation

At first it annoyed/annoys me at how the MSM is bound and determined not to cover non-corporate friendly candidates, but then you're right: They don't shape shit, public opinion-wise, other than a dinosaur demographic that wouldn't vote for him anyway.

[Le Taz Hot]

37. Uh, 'scuse me.

Last edited Fri Jul 31, 2015, 10:26 AM - Edit history (1)

I'm one of those "dinosaur demographics" along with thousands of other DUers who are good, hardworking progressives. You want to knock off the ageist shit there considering the candidate we're talking about is 73?

[Populist_Prole]

55. I'm not damning age as such

But we have to admit, the "angry old white guy" fox news "base" is clearly in its sunset years and it's clear the backfill to replace them is happening at a slower rate.

In any case, I'm just about there myself.

[llmart]

68. Thank you for posting what I was going to.....

I'm 66 and I don't have cable, don't watch any TV news and get all my news off the Internet sites I prefer to get my news from.

Making snarky comments and painting all older people with one broad brush stroke does nothing to help. Most of my friends and family who are in this demographic are as liberal as we were when we were 18 and marching against the Viet Nam war, burning our bras and draft cards, taking part in sit ins, marching on Washington, becoming Freedom Riders, you name it.

[erronis]

34. Agree, excellent observations. And add the marketing/ad agencies -

T.V. and radio ads are only appealing to the oldsters that still watch/listen to commercials (and they don't really spend much anymore.)

It's long amazed me that the mega-corps still spend money on eyeballs for paid advertising. I think they take M$M and Madison Avenue's word that their campaigns are successful.

Now, we need to make sure that the PTB don't stifle the internet...

[Le Taz Hot]

36. See, Sabrina?

I absolutely agree with you. I think it's an advantage for us. A LOT of people Wednesday night were talking about it. We were fortunate enough to have gotten local media but that's only because one of our local supporters had some ins to the right people otherwise they would have completely ignored us.

I say we stay under the MSM radar as long as we can. Wednesday I signed up an ARMY of people to volunteers locally. We're organizing as we speak to table, speak, attend events, have house parties and go walking precincts. Fuck the MSM. With today's technology they become more and more irrelevant. Fuck them and their corporate sponsors. There's a revolution going on here and the MSM and the DC beltway don't even see it coming.

[retrowire]

42. correction

they don't WANT to see it coming. hahaha oh I can't wait until they can't turn away any longer.

[tomm2thumbs]

14. the ONE thing the corporate media and power brokers can't control is individuals working in tandem

They will never be able to break the momentum of a slow-moving force of drop after drop after drop pouring down onto the dry political landscape that is Washington, and flooding the place out with a spirit anew.

[SheilaT]

15. I keep on being reminded of Howard Dean

and how he generated thousands, maybe millions of enthusiastic followers. The fact that he did not get the nomination isn't all that important, especially more than a decade on. He himself said he never expected to win the nomination, and was there just to change the dialogue. And to a large extent he succeeded.

Now, us former Deaniacs, and a huge number of newcomers, are getting Bernie Sanders and his message. I sincerely think that things are different now. This is a sea change.

Don't forget the entire Occupy Wall Street phenomenon. It seems to have disappeared, but it left behind a lot of changes.

[JDPriestly]

17. Occupy Wall Street raised a lot of awareness of the fact that something is awry in our country.

We shall see whether Bernie for 2016 is the culmination of the effort put in motion by that awareness or another step along the way to a better country.

Anyway, I'm set to campaign for Bernie for sure. So are a lot of other people.

[sabrina 1]

22. OWS is very much still around. They are working for Bernie eg, using the same skills

they used to get their movement known across the Globe.

They are very active also in helping other movements, eg, the Ferguson Protests, and all the demonstrations against Police Brutality that have taken place since then. In Oakland, where they had so many runins with the robo cops themselves, in LA etc.

They are still involved in helping people who are being foreclosed on, and on Student Debt etc. and the homeless.

It's really exciting to see these movements join to together and help each other, but then it shouldn't be surprising.

There is still an OWS presence in every state, very active now in Bernie's campaign.

They were excellent at using their own media and Social Media to get THEIR movement into the public consciousness and are doing the same thing re Bernie.

I agree that things are different now than when Dean was stopped by the Corporate Media. There was no Social Media back then, to speak of eg.

THAT is where young people are active today and they despise the Corporate Media.

So whenever there is an attempt to smear Bernie by someone from the media or eg, Claire McCaskill, it is all over Social Media and destroyed which is why so far, all the attempts to smear him have failed.

He has a literal ARMY of hundreds of thousands of volunteers online fielding every attempt, see Gutierrez eg, to derail this campaign.

But it is urgent to increase those numbers BEFORE they really start going after him, and they will so that no matter what they try to do it will backfire, as everything they've done so far, has.

It is due to the activists and supporters he has already that so far, nothing has managed to affect him.

Good post btw, just wanted people to know that just because the MSM doesn't cover them, OWS is very much alive and active.

You are right that OWS laid a foundation. Someone said recently that they were 'seed and Bernie is the fruit' of that seed.

[99th_Monkey]

29. Occupy Portland was working with Greenpeace activists today to block Shell drill ship

which made national nooz, at least on Rachael's show, not sure of others.

[retrowire]

43. yep

I sincerely believe that OWS 2.0 is rising from the ashes because of Bernie. A newer, stronger more amplified than ever voice shall be heard.

[JDPriestly]

16. Me too.

I took e-mail addresses from people I met last night and wanted to contact them to get started. But I cannot access my Yahoo account or even set up a new one. What a bummer!

[Enthusiast]

40. I don't understand why you cannot access your Yahoo account.

Are you on double secret probation?

[JDPriestly]

47. My husband is trying to help me with it.

He had the I-Pad and gave it to me because I babysit my grandchildren in another city and it is nice to be able to take the I-Pad when I visit them.

Apparently you can't just hand an I-Pad to your wife or someone in your family and say "Now this is yours." His e-mail shows up on the I-Pad and so does mine. And they now are showing up at the same time, and Yahoo won't let me into my e-mail on my home laptop. (My home laptop is rather old, I must admit.)

I think that might be the problem.

I was hacked a couple of years ago. My computer history is odd, but I don't know whether it is because I am in the library card generation or because there is something like a glitch in the system or, perhaps, something more sinister.

We know that the NSA and Homeland Security and who knows who else keep tabs on various groups ranging from peace activists to Occupy to the Quakers (pacifists no less), I have received a notification from Facebook that my account when first opened was accessed from a town in Virginia in which the largest employer is Booz, Hamilton. Plus for a long time, the default weather report on my Yahoo page was for that same town in Virginia. I have never been there. DUers have told me that my link to that town is probably that somehow my internet is routed through it. I am still bemusedly rather suspicious about the reason for that and the series of coincidences.

After all, I do post a lot of controversial opinions on DU. And I have in the distant past traveled a lot and lived overseas. Plus I have friends on Facebook from other countries.

At any rate, I am a very harmless grandmother of 72, and just in case any snoops are interested in me, they can read everything I think on DU and it's all public and I don't have any sinister secrets. They are the ones with sinister secrets. Not me.

So if they think that I DO have sinister secrets, they are suffering from what my high school psychology teacher told me was "projection."

I don't mind being watched if I am being watched, but I do think it would be a waste of bandwidth, time and money to watch me. I don't get that many recs or that much interest on DU even. Never was a leader. Why would anyone so much as be interested in my demographic. So anyway.

My problem accessing Yahoo may in reality be due to my own stupidity but since it is painful to admit to such stupidity, I'd rather, human that I am, blame some mythical, enormous, spider of a secret agency for my problems. I'm human, after all.

But probably, most likely, and in the end, I will take my I-Pad to the Apple store and somehow get it put into my name so that when I press the e-mail button on it, I get access finally to Yahoo. And I will get a new password and be able to access my e-mail account again. Or, when I see a nephew this weekend, I will ask him to look at it and maybe he can fix it. He is in the computer generation. (Now we understand why the millenials seem to like Bernie and the grandparent generation so much. They love seeing how much we need them to fix our computers. It endears us to them.)

My computer was hacked a few years ago, I think to get a list of names that was entrusted to me by an organization in which I was one of the officers. The organization is perfectly mainstream and legitimate, but it is possible that someone was curious about it. At that time, Yahoo required me to think up a password which only I can remember. Actually, I have it written down, but it might be rather difficult for someone to figure it out -- but maybe someone did and that is why I can't get in. Maybe I have been hacked again.

Isn't it great to have the internet. Think of it. Before the internet little old ladies like me sat in rocking chairs with utterly no intrigue or excitement in their lives for years and years, stirring up trouble for their children and their childrens' in-laws and baking cookies every once in a while and now -- look at us. We have blogs. We post our opinions. We communicate with people in other countries. We read. We analyze. We formulate opinions. We share ideas. And no one with whom we correspond can see our wrinkles, our grey, our sagging jaw-lines. What a life.

Just sayin'.

Are you still reading this?????

Cause it's nonsense and very long. And that is because it is a slow news day.

My grandson is coming to visit in a week. He is getting close to five, and I am planning to have him cut up old National Geographics and create books on colored paper and then sew them together. Should be fun. Of course, I have to drag him away from his Legos to do that.

Anyway, thanks for asking.

Sorry to bore you. It is a slow news day. I have been ill, and unable to sleep well.

If you have any suggestions about getting into Yahoo and are still reading this, please let me know.

[Ligyron]

52. hey, I read it!

good luck with the I-pad. I'm going to have to update my gear soon and Windows 10 looks scary.

[JDPriestly]

65. If you read it, you are very brave or maybe very bored. Thanks for answering.

All my personal info on-line now. Even my dear, sweet, adorable, funny, cute, rascally, curious, energetic, determined, intelligent, etc. grandson whom I love dearly, dearly, dearly.

Can't say enough good about my children and grandchildren. I've always been that way about my children and now I am that way about my grandchildren.

But the internet, much as I love, boy, what a hassle.

[Stardust]

67. I want to know how you keep your iPad away from your grandson. That's ALL mine want to play

with! And Legos, too, of course.

[Enthusiast]

56. Thanks for sharing that with me, JD.

I wish I could help but I am helpless with computers too. My only devices are an old used Dell PC I bought on E-Bay and a primitive cell phone, lol.

Have fun with your grandson!

I hope you are feeling better now.

[JDPriestly]

50. Miraculously (as far as I can tell, but then), I am able to access my e-mail this morning.

Maybe writing that long-winded post in which I excoriated my probably imaginary and mythical friend at the NSA did the trick. Ahhh. The magic of writing it all down.

(I am of course joking about the NSA.)

[Enthusiast]

57. That's great!

[Stardust]

66. Hotmail and gmail are free and easy to set up.

[Gregorian]

20. It's as though America has been unconscious for 40 years. There was true purpose to last night.

I have not seen discussions that were so on target as I see with Bernie's campaign.

Forty years ago there was a flourishing of creative ideas. Hopes for a better world mostly disappeared. We became lost in consumerland. Conservatives and their think tanks diverted and forced the conversation, and we acted as if they had something real to present.

Everything is the same, with opposition minimizing and demonizing, except one thing: A group of us are now focused on the serious truths we face.

I never expected this. I thought we were beyond being responsible and thoughtful. I'm just grateful to have this opportunity to see that America is still full of good people who want to create a better country.

[delrem]

21. The MSM is NOT on our side. Not any part of the MSM.

Until people understand that, they will be brainwashed.

[nolabels]

64. It looks to me the acronym of MSM is going archaic

Unless they can get a handle on how people now are getting so much of their news from their phone, their franchise will be lost with rapidity. It's more about it being an intellectual thing rather than a visual thing.

[uhnope]

28. The Camp Windsock talking point is that his campaign has 'stagnated"

Oh, and asking for volunteer work is 'hypocritical" if you're advocating an increase in the minimum wage.

*wank, wank, wank*

it must fucking hurt to support a candidate with no positions, except ones not worth support.

[Cosmic Kitten]

35. Camp Windsock bwahahaha

[Le Taz Hot]

38. Oh, I am SO stealing that!

LOL! "Camp Windsock." Couldn't be more accurate.

So, VOLUNTEER WORK is hypocritical. What part of VOLUNTEER aren't they understanding? I fucking had people LINED UP to hand in their volunteer sheets.

[raouldukelives]

33. Corporate investors are aligned against Bernie and his message.

Whether they intend it or not, our democracy, our media, our futures are being discounted, distorted and outright destroyed only for paper with slave owners on it.

It will only be by the embrace of personal responsibility for ones actions that incremental progress can ever be made.

With so many daily laboring against positive change, it is no wonder the sirens of profit over peace exclude our meager but vitally important voices.

Thank the heavens for our digital free press. If one only consumed a diet of corporate news, one might never realize just how malignant they themselves are.

[Enthusiast]

39. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

Fox affiliate, Miami WSVN: "Sanders rallies supporters in nationwide simulcast"

Posted: Jul 30, 2015 5:15 PM EDT

By LISA LERER
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called on supporters to spark a "political revolution" for his candidacy on Wednesday night, offering a rallying cry of "enough is enough" on a video simulcast to events across the country....

Sanders has ridden the populist wave surging through the Democratic party, attracting large crowds to rallies across the country with his unapologetically liberal message. In recent weeks, he's seized on Hillary Rodham Clinton's refusal to say whether she backs the Keystone XL pipeline and the Trans-Pacific Partnership - both opposed by key segments of the Democratic base.

While Clinton remains the front-runner in the primary race, the Wednesday night event was intended as a show of strength for Sanders' candidacy. His campaign is trying to emulate the model used by President Barack Obama, who mobilized supporters against Clinton in the 2008 primary through an expansive organizing effort focused on networks of personal contacts....

Sanders' unexpectedly strong showing has not gone unnoticed by Clinton's team. Her aides have signaled that they consider Sanders to be a legitimate challenger who will be running for the long haul, noting the $15.2 million he's raised, largely from small donors, in the first three months of the race. They believe he will find a measure of support in Iowa, where the caucus system typically turns out the most passionate voters, and New Hampshire, given Sanders' many years representing neighboring Vermont in Congress....

[Bluenorthwest]

69. I do not agree that television media would rush to report this out of another candidate, for them

stories about events created using communications networks other than there own are very unpopular with television media. They hate the fact that it is a video network just set up for the day's event, televised as it were. They do not like that there is an entire media system outside their comfy and formerly cornered market.
So even if they loved the candidate, they would despise that event. TV still hates that it is possible to have 100,000 people across the country watch visual content without using any TV.

is the diversity and depth of talent your average American can bring to the table. We have a great advantage over our adversaries (and I use that term gently) which is the willingness, nay, the need, to face reality and to change our positions based on new data.

[Cheese Sandwich]

80. Amazing. You're so right.

If this had been another candidate it would have been bigger news.
