Susan Sarandon insists that Hillary Clinton is not getting enough media scrutiny and that it is mostly biased toward her. Of course, this ignores analyses that Hillary Clinton received most negative stories, least positive stories of all presidential candidates:

Still, it is interesting the feedback loop that Susan Sarandon lives in:

Outspoken Bernie Sanders supporter Susan Sarandon, who previously made clear that although she may not vote for Hillary Clinton, she is not a Donald Trump supporter, is again making provocative statements about the state of race. This time, insisting that Clinton will soon be criminally indicted and that if she isnt, then she will surely prove more of a danger on foreign policy than Trump.
During a couple of recent interviews while campaigning on Sanders behalf in California this week, Sarandon took aim at the medias coverage of the 2016 election, namely what she argued was a lack of scrutiny on the Clinton campaign.
During an MSNBC interview on Thursday, Sarandon asked why the FBIs investigation into State Department email use was not getting more media coverage, asserting that a criminal indictment of Clinton is inevitable.
Nobodys even talking about this indictment. What happens with that? Sarandon asked MSNBCs Chris Jansing. Besides the trust issue of catching her in so many lies.

(8,311 posts)I could see Japan as the one country, having experienced nuclear weapons first-hand, being allowed to develop their own program to help deal with North Korea.
Not destabilizing the entire Middle East worse than it already is by giving Saudi Arabia nukes. Israel already has them even if they deny it, and it's pretty much been our policy that if there's going to ever be a nuke used in the ME, it's going to be Israel and they'll be accepting the consequences and very literal fallout if they do.

(934 posts)They insisted that Democratic candidate Al Gore was the lesser of two evils, that there was no real difference between Gore and George W. Bush, and that it was the duty of principled people to vote for Ralph Nader.
The evil Al Gore went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for environmental activism, Bush went on the break the Middle East, the economy, and the Supreme Court, and the idiot Susan blathers on without the least bit of self-awareness about the damage she has done and continues to do.

Whiny one percenter wants a revolution. Her kids attended the best private schools, so she oughta know what's what.
The depth of her ignorance of the suffering trump would bring to the less privileged is shocking.
It will be good for her to go away after Hillary ands this silliness.
