I never compliment MSNBC, but today they gave decent coverage to Bernie.

[BigBearJohn]

and Bernie was VERY powerful. Really impressed me. He was on The Last Word
and Chris Hayes. Bernie was admonishing the MSM, saying this campaign is
not a GAME, it is real life and REAL PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING! Chris Hayes
was stunned silent. He thanked Bernie profusedly being on with him.

1. SO DID CNN.

They've seen the rallies AND the polls.

Yes, I was shocked. Cooper did a good job. How did that happen?

2. We were furious out here in FB land...probably was a nudge

[southerncrone]

3. Perhaps they are Feeling the Berners!

Many people displayed their disapproval of the lack of coverage of his events. It is becoming apparent that he INDEED has a chance of winning this thing!

[xloadiex]

19. More and more of the millennials

totally tuning out MSNBC and CNN and tuning into TYT. Their viewing block has been Yuuuge lately.

[grasswire]

4. I missed those.

But I did see him with Anderson Cooper and he was electric.

[grasswire]

5. maybe the network heads have heard about the FBI investigation. nt

[Land of Enchantment]

6. If everyone else has stopped watching their

suck ass channels their ratings have to have plummeted. Plus they have had the crap beaten out of them for the Bernie Blackout by REAL journalists.

[SoapBox]

7. I was shocked at CBS Nightly News tonight...

There was the usual Rump blah, blah, blah...

But shockingly they showed the Rump and Clinton unfavorable numbers and then that Clinton would beat Rump BUT THAT Bernie would beat him by a bigger spread. They even had a few seconds of Bernie giving an interview...

That is amazingly positive coverage that includes Bernie, compared to either something snarky about him or a complete blackout.

8. Until Kasie Hunt came on - looking constipated as usual. All she got from Bernie's interview on CNN

was when he said he was not a quitter.

And that he should wrap it up and unite around Hillary.

I feel so sorry for her, she really hates her job.

[Lorien]

9. A few of us at another site have been on a "contact the media" campaign

calling them out on the Bernie Blackout and 24/ 7 Trump-o-thon, along with the "presumptive nominee" bullcrap that they keep using to promote Hillary. Maybe it's having an effect? Here's the particulars if you would like to join us!

General media contact information, including emails, addresses, and phone numbers:
http://fair.org/take-action-now/media-activism-kit/media-contact-list/

Other than voting, donating to Bernie, and talking to people you know about Bernie's policy positions and history, THE SINGLE GREATEST THING you can do to help his campaign is to WRITE A HARD COPY LETTER to the media protesting their Bernie Blackout and wall to wall Trump coverage! Mention that you will be contacting and boycotting their advertisers if they continue the Bernie blackout and Trump "infomercials". I know people who work in newsrooms, and I am told that one hard copy letter has the weight of 100 emails to a news director. This is, they have added, a huge reason why the media skews to the Right; right wingers mail in letters frequently, the Left never does, so the perception is that only the right wing is dissatisfied with their "reporting". Let us change that notion TODAY!

Please borrow time from posting here and on Facebook TODAY to write letters to FIVE of the organizations listed below. When finished, post the text of your letter and who you contacted to this thread.

ABC News: 147 Columbus Ave. New York, NY 10023

CBS News: 524 W. 57 St. New York, NY 10019

NBC News: 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10112

MSNBC: One MSNBC Plaza, Secaucus, NJ 07094

CNN: One CNN Center, Atlanta, GA, 30303

New York Times: 620 8th Ave. New York, NY 10018

The Washington Post: 1301 K Street NW, Washington DC 20071

National Public Radio: 1111 N. Capitol St, NE, Washington DC, DC 20002


Remind them that the last time liberals mobilized to boycott the sponsors of a very biased media source THIS happened: http://deadstate.org/thanks-to-a-national-boycott-hate-radio-is-facing-a-20-million-bankruptcy/

11. Great post! Thank you.

[BigBearJohn]

16. Thanks for this!

[jillan]

18. I thought about you this morning :) I was watching local news and they were talking about a poll

that came out in Arizona showing that it is a tie between Her & Trump in the GE.
But they did not mention that Bernie beats Trump in that same poll.
Our primary is tomorrow.

I called them & emailed them - and sure enough, in the next 1/2 hr, they mentioned it

We have to stay vigilant.

But yes - I did think about you always bringing this up, and even tho I hadn't finished my first cup of coffee, I got busy

[Lorien]

21. AWESOME!! Thanks so much jillian! Contacting them DOES WORK!

as do boycotts! http://deadstate.org/thanks-to-a-national-boycott-hate-radio-is-facing-a-20-million-bankruptcy/

10. Chris Hayes has sabotaged Sanders since Day One.

[CoffeeCat]

12. Wow. MSNBC covered his rally today and now this...a fair interview

What's going on?

CNN also included a full Bernie interview in their "Final Five". Interesting, fair and fresh approach--which is contrary to their very selective coverage which has basically ignored Bernie while leveraging Clinton and Trump.

CNN didn't have to do this type of "round up" piece with all candidates featured.

There have been some glimmers of inclusion and fairness for Bernie from the MSM.

Interesting...and curious.

[BigBearJohn]

14. it SHOCKED the hell out me, let me tell you. Day & NIGHT

Made me wonder where Bernie would be today if the media supported him from the beginning.

[SoapBox]

15. Arghhhhh!

The talking idiots are talking over Bernie's speech...and in particular over the part about Hill's speaking fees.

And now...advertising...guess MSNBC got bored.

Thank goodness for Bernie2016TV!

[dogman]

17. They got in an artful smear on Lawrence.

Al Franken's best friend Jonathon Alter suggested Bernie's early politics might have shared sympathy with Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Hitmen for Her.

[bkkyosemite]

20. You spoke too soon. They showed some of his rally tonight then trashed him.

[jillan]

22. Look at this. High Fives to all of us for sending a message to Msnbc

Fox News, CNN Set Ratings Records with Mega Tuesday Coverage

CNN Leads in Primetime Viewership for Two Weeks out of Last Three

Fox Tops Total Viewership for Tuesday Primary Coverage; CNN Leads in Demo

These are all from March! to all of us!!

23. I'm sure they'll be duly reprimanded for taking time away from Trump. nt

[Left Coast2020]

24. I was shocked too

In the post in the thread on the video-on my surprise of their coverage I used my first in about 4-5 months.
