1. Tell it, Howard Dean! Yes!

2. You go, Dr./Gov. Dean!

As an MD with actual governing experience and fifty state strategy-political savvy (looking at you, Jill Stein), Howard Dean was treated very shabbily by the Democratic party and the Obama administration, apparently due to the unhappy influence of Rahm Emmanuel. This is a man who deserves to be listened to--not run around by any passing MSNBC interviewer.

3. Yep! It's been worse with (ratings obsessed) 24-hour cable news too!

There's a few excellent reporters out there, like Fahrenthold at the Washington Post digging into the Trump Foundation.

There's likewise been some very conservative newspapers that have endorsed Hillary over Donald. In days of old when many people got their news from newspapers, I think it's highly possible that Trump would've never survived the GOP primary.

4. I get so sick of the media insisting Dems and Liberals have to back down.

5. Who is the airhead doing the interview? He explains why he did it twice and she still

doesn't understand his point in how media has given Trump a free ride. She acted like one of the Trump surrogates trying to
talk over him the first time seems obvious where she stands.

8. Howard Dean gets NOWHERE near the respect he deserves by the media.

Who was the "airhead" interviewer? I've never seen her before, but as a retired English teacher and a mom of a daughter in journalism/public relations I felt her interview was a major insult to Dr. Dean.

6. Dean is totally right

I too wonder where this woman, Stephanie, comes from; she has nothing to add to the conversation except the badgering of Dean, and he's right from the get go.

achsa.

7. It's about time we fight bullshit with truth

Face it. Who the fuck is up at 3 in the morning and badmouthig a beauty contestant on Twitter? This is not normal behavior for a 70 year old man running for President. OK, if it's not cocaine, he is just what's the word?… Oh yeah, "batshit fucking crazy"

9. No, it wasn't the "media" that created Dump, although the right wing media helped a lot.

Are you forgetting the fact that the GOP became subservient to a small group of Tea Party maniacs? Was that the media? Tried to block and then repeal the ACA. Was that the media? No, to it is the Republican Party that is to blame. The media is just going along for the ride.

10. Not bad for somebody who totally sold out.
