morning saying he had 20,000 at a rally this weekend. I thought that was unusual until they said they weren't going to talk about Hillary.

.... campaign doesn't portend a limitless deluge of dark money $$$ bucks funding a tsunami of idiotic "vote for me 'cause I'm swell'" ad-buys that CBS hopes will run in the fall.

No reflection on the other two. ( Clinton and Biden) They can run their own campaigns as they see fit. ( Yes. I'm kidding.)

and ..............he would do that..He is not a journalist by any minor imaginable definition..
He would not have made it past the mail room back in the days of Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather.

He started on 60 minutes as a yes man and apparently he's still is just that.

Heard that in some discussions on how bad 60 minutes is these days.

When I watch news it is usually Amy Goodman, Steph Miller or Hartmann on FSTV

to deliberately ignore any opposition and protests against the corporate status quo. It was a concerted decision made - and you can see how it's been implemented in every progressive turnout since 1999. Think how little coverage the Occupy movement got in spite of how large the turnouts were.

Those who have instigated this strategy might think it's effective but in the end it will prove to just be their heads in the sand.

Embarrassed to say... I wasn't paying close attention at that time.

Seemed to me that Clinton, Gore, etc. were so much preferable to the "barbarians at the gate", ( Gingrich, Bush, etc.) that I tended to dismiss such observations as left-wing paranoia.

Not any more.
