Morning Joe had good things to say about Bernie today.

[merrily]

Scarborough must be up to something.

Of course, he and Halperin couldn't stop saying "socialist," but the comments were otherwise mostly positive.

And Mike Barnicle raved emphatically about Bernie's speech at Liberty U.

There was some discussion about how many trillions Bernie's promises would cost, which is fair commentary, IMO.

I am going to enjoy this while it lasts because I know it won't last long.

1. My local stations

have also had the last two mornings of over-all positive coverage.
Me thinks that the media masters got the message, or are gearing to smear, or both. In any case I think that the black out is by and large over.

5. I hope that's the fact, Jack.

2. They think he has no chance

So they are hoping he can knock off HRC and 'pave the way' for a republican clown. They are in for a surprise.

3. Great toon! nt

4. He has said some nice things about Hill, too.

Not so much today. Today, he said she was bad as a candidate - nothing substantive, just that she was reading from notes, etc. (part of the latest spontaneity push, perhaps?)

Before she announced, though, he said just about every third day that he loved her. Recently, he was saying how likeable she was in person, but couldn't seem to translate that to her public persona. That seems like a fair comment, too.



Love that cartoon.

6. Since many lefties tuned out of MSNBC I wonder if they noticed the ratings decline if there was one.

[merrily]

9. They've noticed. They are going to double down on it by going yet further right.

7. yesterday i briefly caught

joan "i am for hillary but pretend to be impartial" walsh, and she was saying how "kind" the press coverage has been for bernie

[SoapBox]

8. Arghhhh...

Walsh...the first time I heard her gush over HRC, I wanted to barf.

I put her along with a long list in the Entrenched Establishment Trash Can.

11. i love the trash can idea!

think i will paint mine blue.......

[merrily]

10. The press has run the gamut from ignoring Bernie, to condescending to him, to

giving the impression the pinnacle of his political career was winning one mayoral election, to ignoring him again, to insulting him. And always, always using self-avowed socialist or worse.

Inside the beltway "geniuses."

[restorefreedom]

12. yes, joan was very artful

in slipping in the word socialist to describe Bernie yesterday. She tried to cover herself by saying well the term socialist doesn't have as much fear as it used to, but she seemed to delight in the fact that she was still using it in the phrase self-described socialist.

she's a pretty smart cookie but we're seeing right through her crap.
