MSNBC is flooding the airwaves with Berners, like Ari Melber, who

[redstateblues]

seem believe the debate will turn Bernie’s campaign around and he will capture the nomination. It’s amazing to hear them answer the “Bernie’s path” question.

1. It's all over except for the concession.

We seen this before countless times. It's not a good look.

[Docreed2003]

2. What will the excuse be next week?

[C Moon]

3. It's all about dollars for the networks. They want as many viewers as possible.

It seems they never learn from the past.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I thought MSNBC hated Bernie. Isn't that what we learned on DU?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. MSNBC will do whatever it takes to keep it a horse race.

Once it's settled down to one person -- Bernie or Joe -- all the drama is gone, along with half of their ad revenue. The drama will increase as we approach November, but until then it's all Steve Kornacki, all the time.

5. They've been loading up on Bernie surrogates lately.

I’ve had to turn off David Sirota several times. And poor Chris Hayes looks lost. I’ve been turning to AC.

6. wacky squirell was pretty clear that he has no path...

Without a major incident. That isn't likely.

Even if joe was disappeared tomorrow bernie still wouldn't win. Bloomberg would pop back in, or warren, and take delegates starving bernie. He wouldn't hit 50% and a floor vote would not go well for him.

His supporters have no more threats to make. They won't even be there for him in the GE if he ever got there (which he won't).

But karnacki was clear. No path. None. Not even close.

No path. No leverage.

MSNBC is just trying to keep people tuned in. F' them.

7. M$$NBC's gotta make them bones! n/t

8. Rachel did a great job during the impeachment hearings (covering them)

Other than that she's just a tool. She was shocked last night at how bad Sanders lost & kept asking questions looking for a glimmer of hope to prop sanders up (that never came).

Don't even get me started on her bias during the 2016 Primary.

[Awsi Dooger]

21. I thought I had a monopoly on criticizing Rachel Maddow around here

I agree, she is at her best in stuff like the impeachment hearings. Also she's very good at researching and dissecting the past.

Rachel is always at her worst during election years. She has lousy handicapping instincts and therefore is dependably baffled by actual results. It's obvious she doesn't expose herself to counter opinion nearly enough, not to the point she can actually think as they think. That is the breakthrough moment, when you can change shoes and sense accurately what the other side is thinking, and how they weigh certain variables, even if you don't agree with any of it. It's like learning another language when you realize you suddenly can think silently in that language also. If you never reach that point then you don't truly know the language.

I'm amazed nobody truly exceptional has come along for a role like that. If so, Rachel would be easily downplayed and people would wonder what they ever saw in her. I always think of it as a failed litmus test for MSNBC that Rachel Maddow is the best they can come up with.

9. msnbc has a ******* sad.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Got to make a Horse Race out of this,

lot's of false Narratives being written by the Copy Crews and Rewrite Crews in the Studio's today.

All one has to watch for is,when a so called Guest makes a facial move when a floor director calls a response via their earpiece.

[True Blue American]

11. Rachel had Bernie on for one full hour.

The rest have been sucking up to Michael Moore.

That station is getting to the point they are threadbare of hosts and pundits.

[wyldwolf]

13. Some of these young ones will be highly embarrassed at their answers years from now.

... like the one who said Biden has needed black kingmakers since he first ran for president in the 80s...

[lillypaddle]

15. I think we watched different Ari Melbers

First, I don't believe he is a "Berner."

Second, I've been watching MSNBC since this morning (I don't have a life), and no way have they been flooding the airwaves with BS supporters.

I guess we all see and hear what we want.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

17. I saw the one you did.

Just because Ari didn't throw Bernie under the bus and was cordial to the few Bernie followers in that restaurant he did the show from doesn't make him a "Berner."
Jeezus, some people aren't happy unless everyone else is miserable.

[lillypaddle]

18. Thank you

Sanity and perspective, those are good things.

[yaesu]

16. I always take what MSM says with a grain of salt, Bernie has a big uphill battle at this point nt

[yardwork]

19. The info-media is terribly disappointed that this ended so quickly.

They'll do everything they can to perpetuate things.

We don't have journalism. We have reality TV "entertainment."

[lamp_shade]

20. Ari Melber is a Berner? What? How'd you come to that conclusion?
