Why is the media in the tank for Bernie Sanders?

[brooklynite]

MTP is challenging Hillary Clinton on her changing positions on key issues. That means they're biased in favor of her opponent, right?

(at least, that's how it's been explained to me here).

1. That's pretzel logic.

[BlueWaveDem]

2. Corporations prefer a Republican president.

Most likely. If they can knock off the Democratic frontrunner it would increase the chances of a republican in the white house. At least according to the betting markets. Although if Trump is the nominee I think we could win nominating a sack of potato's.

7. Corporations prefer a friendly candidate.

They'd like either a Republican or Hillary.

3. When MSM says more than a test pattern re Sanders, I'll make a call.

4. I'm sure the M$M will challenge Bernie on all his flip flopping once he is the leader

5. "... challenging Hillary Clinton on her changing positions on key issues"

Bernie's policies have remained the same over decades.
Hillary evolves as needed.

10. Because Hillary will say and do what ever she and Bill thinks will help her

She is more interested in being the first female President than she is in being President.

read my sig line to know where I stand

11. Steven Spielberg helped shape her image?

Story on this morning's cable news is that she consulted Steven Spielberg to help shape a public image
that would go over well with the voters this time.

Bernie doesn't try to sell himself like a box of "new and improved" breakfast cereal.

13. Bernie is plain ol Bernie

the same old Bernie he was back when he was fighting for racial equality years ago. Good man, solid as granite and stands taller than any of the other candidates by mountains

No need to try to appeal to anyone as he is the real Deal just as he is. Makes me Proud.
I'm most proud that I seen in President Obama enough good to vote for him in the primary and both generals and it makes me just as proud to be as big of a supporter of Bernie as I can be.

I will vote for our nominee and I will try just as hard to support who ever it is if it isn't Bernie so no one please start talking shit about me and what I believe or what my motives are. I spent 15 months in war so that should show anyone with any questions about my character as to what kind of a person I am. American first Democratic Party member second.

[Indepatriot]

6. Because Carl Rove.

That's how it was explained to me here...

[madokie]

8. Our present day media is part and parcel to the rich upper class

and they want someone who is friendly to their system of what they think is fair. Our media is not in the tank for Sanders. I haven't heard his name mentioned on the local stations more than a couple times since he announced. When they did they put a lot of Emphasis on Socialist Bernie Sanders.

So you want to start a food fight, go for it, most of us see this shit for what it is.

Haven't seen his picture yet in our local paper.
Guess what, one of the richest persons in america owns our local paper. I wonder if there is any connection there

9. Perhaps we can play a turn-taking game

You cite a Bernie flip flop,
then I cite a Hillary flip flop

Then we repeat until one of us runs out of ammo; then the other keeps going until he also runs out of ammo, or the size limit is reached for DU posts.

You game?

[brooklynite]

14. I'm not disputing that she's changed positions...many people have...

perhaps Bernie will on gun control.

I'm merely observing that Clinton isn't getting a free ride from the media, and some folks here have suggested.

[Motown_Johnny]

12. Because Hillary can't stand up to even the slightest criticism

so anything that does not praise her is being in the tank for her opponent.


I think the real question should be something like.

"You admit to being wrong on all these issues, what will you be wrong about next and can the country afford to wait for months or years for you to figure out that you are wrong?" (It took years for all 3 examples given, but maybe on the next one it will only take months, hope springs eternal.)


It should also be pointed out that on all 3 of the issues mentioned on MTP, Bernie was on the right side of them all along. The country would not need to wait for him to figure things out because he gets them right the first time.
