The Corporate Media Misfire on Donald Trump & the Bernie Sanders Solution



Published on Aug 24, 2015


The corporate media pundits have been utilizing the candidacy of Donald Trump as a distraction from the grassroots revolution of Bernie Sanders. And, they have unleashed a monster. Sane Progressive calls out the media strategy behind this disaster and implores the right and left to unite behind the one candidate who will serve us all. Time to stop hurling stones at each other and perpetuating the division that keeps us all oppressed.

She's got a great series of videos going...I'm enjoying these, how about you? I think she knocks it outta the park, spot on.

There really is a populist/progressive social movement starting up, I'm loving every moment, and I know this is just the beginning. There is a long road ahead when you are fighting an entrenched, corporate system bent on taking our voices & replacing everything we hold dear with their vision of America.

Let's not forget that Trump asked Bill Clinton for his "advice" about running as
a Republican, and Bill gave rRump his blessing.

And he is using it & handing out his advice to work it, I don't mind he's wreaking havoc with the GOP, what I do mind is that MSM is framing the rest of it for the "inevitable" outcome, at least what they want to see.

I like her, she's saying what all of us are experiencing.

I have thought Trump was promoted from the beginning to steal media time from Sanders. It seems to be working.
