MSNBC cuts away from Bernie's MI speech almost immediately!!!

Probably gave him less than five minutes!!! Chris Matthews turns to Bill de Blasio (Hilary surrogate) and they start piggy backing off Bernie's message about getting money out of politics, going after the economic elite, and how "both candidates" are showing that the Democratic Party is finding its soul again.

Turned over to CNN, who's still showing his speech, and lo and behold Bernie is highlighting the fact that Hilary is one of the very people taking and benefiting from that big money. Points to $225,000 given to her from her buddies at Goldman Sachs for a single speech, and looks forward to when we might see a transcript from such an "extraordinary speech, Shakespearian speech" (for it to warrant that kind of money).

Convenient bit of timing there, MSNBC!

(Also, during his speech, there were sure to cut away multiple times from a direct feed of it to show a dynamic shot of a TV screen in MSNBC studios that had a split-screen of Bernie speaking on one side, and the other a photo of him and Hilary with their respective delegate counts underneath each...with Hilary at the superdelegate padded 1000+ count. Very odd.)

This person asked a woman from Louisana if she was 'feeling the bern' and she said "huh?" He said Bernie hasn't reached voters in the South. Well, we all know why with the media blackout Bernie has had to deal with!

The fix has been in for a while, and it's beginning to look very bad for the side of right.

Not because of the reasons you said, but because they show that idiot Trump talking forever and that sanctimonious moron Cruz for what seems like forever. It's biased and it's disgusting.
