Well, MSNBC continues to play 'Smear the Sanders'.

Up w/ Kornacki on in the background, the last segment had a 'Do the Democrats need a White Knight?' chyron, talking about how Dems might need someone else to enter the race to 'save' them from Bernie Sanders since Hillary was tanking. Then they went on to 'Sanders plans for the high holy days'. To first make sure you knew he was a Jew, and then to have the Jewish guy on panel tell you that he was a 'bad Jew' because instead of spending Rosh Hashanah going to services, Bernie will be delivering a talk at a Christian university.

Nothing like being 'subtle', eh, guys?

They talked about Bernie's religion or lack thereof?
My god, this is going to be a filthy, dirty war against Bernie.

All candidates are discussed on many levels, which is just part of the process. He is not a victim.

Used to DVR it but quit. The last straw was him having a very progressive guest on who said we might need a third party because both we have now were owned. Kornacki would not go there, he kept trying to steer him away from that line of thinking.
