Was delighted to turn to Bernie2016.tv just now and watch Bernie's rally

[Akamai]

in Worcester, Massachusetts yesterday.

With Bernie2016.tv, you can track what Bernie is saying, learn about volunteering opportunities, and become very enthusiastic once again.

Very impressive site and I sure hope it builds even more!

1. So all that whining about being "shut down by the corporate media" was...

2. You know the degree to which he's not covered.

Come on, BK. You know I'm rooting for you.

4. Not the point of the OP...

This is about BERNIE2016TV, not the media in general.

3. True....

Just because they didn't succeed doesn't mean that they didn't try.

[brooklynite]

5. But they didn't

The only trouble BERNIE2016TV got into was when they tried to post video that wasn't theirs. Nobody has tried to hide their own content.

7. Legitimate stating of fact.

Polls show that Bernie Sanders would trounce Donald Trump, but you’d never know that from watching TV news.

The Tyndall Report, a non-partisan media monitoring firm that has been tracking the nightly news broadcasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC, found that Trump is tromp, tromp, tromping over the airtime of everyone else.

From last January through November, these dominant flagship news shows devoted 234 minutes of prime-time coverage to the incessant chirping of the yellow-crested birdbrain, with no other contender getting even a fourth of that.

(snip)

And — get this — polls also show Bernie trouncing The Donald if they face each other in November’s presidential showdown. So surely he’s getting a proportional level of media coverage by the networks on our public airwaves, right?

Ha, just kidding! The big networks’ devotion of 234 minutes to all-things-Trump was “balanced” by less than 10 minutes for Sanders. Most egregious was ABC, the Disney-owned network. ABC’s World News Tonight awarded 81 minutes of national showtime to Trump last year — and for Bernie: 20 seconds.

How self-serving of the media moguls. The one candidate who is effectively rallying large numbers of voters to oppose the rise of corporate oligarchy — including in the media — has the plug pulled on him.

Of course, this only amplifies the truth of what Sanders is saying about the villainy of corporate profiteers, and it fuels a greater determination by his millions of grassroots supporters to end the reign of greed in America.

8. And what does this have to do with BERNIE2016TV?

[Uncle Joe]

9. That's what I was wondering about your first post?

What does that have to do with the OP?

[brooklynite]

10. The BERNIE2016TV producers have been complaining that...

...corporate media has been shutting them down, yet they've never gone away.

[Uncle Joe]

11. The national nightly network prime time news casts have been blacking Bernie out, per my post.

Nothing in the OP takes away from that.

6. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Akamai.
