Big day for Bernie. Not a word on MSM

[SmittynMo]

It is a total injustice to the American people that the corrupt corporate media has totally ignored Bernie Sanders. Especially on a day when he addresses major issues with Wall Street. How do we the people not see what is going on here?

It was so bad, Rachel Maddow talked about Trump for almost 45 minutes out of an hour. It was sickening. Not a word about Bernie. Obama's gun speech got the last 15 minutes. Again, where are the priorities here?

At this juncture, I've pretty much given up on MSM, and their total injustice to us all.

Ya know, there was a time when I felt I was given all the information for the day, not the information chosen by a select few.

1. It's outrageous.

There were two articles on CNN, one of which was buried in the politics section. The other, which was on the homepage, only mentioned the $2 ATM fees in the title. I haven't seen any other article from a major news source yet.

[JDPriestly]

2. So we shouldn't watch network and cable news.

This proves what liars they are and how they present only certain sides of things.

[SmittynMo]

4. Unfortunately we still will listen.

And we have to filter around the bullshit they do present to us. But to completely ignore a major presidential candidate, just shows how crooked this whole process has become. It's actually worse than when Obama ran, when he appeared really screwed on equal air time 8 years ago. Once he made is past Hillary, it all changed. I can only hope for the same thing. But I'm not counting on it.

The 1% is trying to control EVERYTHING!!!!!! The Economy, Politics, Media!!!! This is NOT the America I remember of days passed.

[JDPriestly]

15. Ironically, by shutting Bernie out, the media is proving Bernie right.

The system is rigged!

[Enthusiast]

22. I hope more people come to this conclusion.

27. Today is nothing like America when I was a kid. One real problem is many younger people might not

realize how different it used to be. They might assume this is the way it always was since they were born into it. Now, we get endless contrived propaganda. You are absolutely correct:

The 1% is trying to control EVERYTHING!!!!!! The Economy, Politics, Media!!!! This is NOT the America I remember of days passed.

3. K&R.

5. Okay, who sacrificed a goat?

[Smarmie Doofus]

6. If he wins both Iowa and NH...

they will HAVE to start reporting on him.

But you are correct. They will do whatever is possible to ignore him. He predicted it himself early on... when he complained that the media prefers to cover the campaign as a "horse race".

The last thing the media and the TPTB in general want is serious problems being thoroughly hashed out in public. Esp. if a serious candidate like Sanders is doing the hashing.

Much safer to babble on about trends, poll #s, who said what nasty thing about whom, and the endless soap opera trivialities introduced by the candidacies of the leading soap-opera candidates (you KNOW who they are): Monica, Paula, Vince Foster, Ivanka, Ivana, Marla Maples.

[SmittynMo]

7. I feel very confident

that he'll take IA an NH. That should pretty much do it for Bernie.

People that learn about Bernie, love him, and support him.

Go Bernie, GO!!!!!!

[emulatorloo]

8. Agreed. He will win IA and NH

and that will change a lot when it comes to national news coverage

[jillan]

9. Chris Hayes reported on Bernie's speech for 2 minutes!! And on Trump for about 20 minutes.

10. I Don't Watch MSNBC At All Now And It Used.....

to be my go to network having it on all day as I work from my home office. Rachel even went over to the dark side. She should be embarrassed.

[Fuddnik]

13. Same here.

[Fuddnik]

11. I got home and logged on to NBC,com, formerly MSNBC.com.

Not one single mention of Sanders.

Plenty of Trump. Some Bill Clinton, that's it.

[jillan]

12. I think I am done watching Rachel. I can't take it anymore. She spends the majority

of every single show talking about Trump.

It's irritating. 5 minutes of what Trump did today would be more than enough.

She used to be such a great reporter. What happened to her?
She started losing it during Bridgegate when that would be all she would talk about night after night and barely mention anything else.

I swear Lawrence is the best one on msnbc right now.

Pathetic!

[erlewyne]

20. Green Grow the Lylac

I turned Rachel off over a year ago and I used to love her.

I have sort turned DU off because of all the time wasted on Trump.

I do not watch news anymore, just read. I refuse to have to
listen to BS. It has gotten so bad I will not watch the NFL
because of the commercials ... just read what I need to.

[SmittynMo]

21. They all like their huge salaries.

So they say what they are told by the 1%. No body wants to end up like Ed Schultz. He told it the way it was and now he broadcasts from his home.

So sad for us.

[Enthusiast]

23. Rachel is following orders. There is very little independent thought remaining in media.

That is why I boycott.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. There seems to be two worlds

A MSM world and an Internet/social media world.

[LiberalArkie]

28. There are 2 worlds it is the big paycheck world and the small paycheck world.

They see things entirely differently.

[Nyan]

16. "There's no difference between media and the Wall Street"

-Mike Papantonio-

[SoapBox]

17. CBS Nightly with Scott Pelley...gave him about 10 seconds...

A clip of Bernie at his speech...cut it off VERY quickly, so viewers did not hear the cheers and applause.

Pelley's delivery was odd...couldn't decide if he was just reporting or reporting with a snarky tone.

And this after "Major" spent 10 minutes on Rump and the other freaks.

[Live and Learn]

18. K&R nt

[LibDemAlways]

19. The corporate whores treat the repukes

with kid gloves. No matter what outrageous thing Trump or Cruz or any of the other morons says or does, they get taken seriously. When Hilary does rate a mention, it's frequently in reference to some horrible Repuke accusation. They make sure Bernie isn't even on the media radar. Considering that every one of the Repukes is appealing to the lowest common denominator, the media is doing the public a huge disservice. The silver lining is that when the voting starts and Bernie does well, it will be increasingly difficult for them to continue the blackout.

24. Even Faux News showed something!

Working for a family I do private care for...they have it on 24/7

"Sanders Slams Wall St" was the title...sorry no screenshot...

[SmittynMo]

25. Yeah, so

my far right friend calls and says, "Hey, if you want any Sanders coverage, come over to FAUX. They always cover him".

I hung up.

[RKP5637]

26. All I've heard this morning is endless Trump, Rubio, Rand, Christie and the rest of

republican herds. Nothing about Sanders, not a second. Some mention of HRC. MSM in this country is so damn rigged it's worst than the rigged Casino Wall Street.
